Christopher Wragg's Blog

I've been passionate about games for a long time and took said passion a step further and completed a degree in Games Programming down here in Australia.

Hrm, I can see why you feel that way, but thoroughly reject your conclusions. 1 Allowing players to play they want to, rather than forcing them to not is a bad thing how If people want to try silly combinations, the option is still available 2 As to redundancies, in ...

RE: Bragging rights This has always irked me, the concept that an item that anyone can obtain if they're willing to simply sink large amounts of time or little with a bit of luck constitutes something to brag about seems wrong. Rather, I have always thought achievements/titles/rewards earned for doing ...

Because it is a simple smear attack. Regardless of ones personal behaviors to the contrary, one can still be right. For instance, a smoker who openly admits smoking is bad for your health and tries to stop others may be a hypocrite, but he's still right. Not agreeing with him, ...
