@Ryan B, yes, I do have a ps3. It's been functioning beautifully, and I've accumulated nearly 300 games for it, and I have 18 or 19 (can't remember) platinum trophies, so I play and enjoy it quite a bit.

Bashcraft, I must confess, I'm more or less perpetually jealous of you. :) You live in Japan. I've always wanted to live there, at least for a little while.

Just bc it was pronounced one way doesn't mean it doesn't violate the rules of American English. There are actually hard and fast rules to English phonetics, that's why they are called 'rules' not 'recommendations' or 'heuristics'...so the rest of your post is invalid. Good try though.

I agree in part, at least with the brain processing part. I disagree with the glasses part. I don't think the glasses matter much, bc 3D works against our biology. 3D doesn't work bc our eyes always have the same focal plane and point of convergence in the same spot. 3D (what actually creates the effect) is that the…

Well, as someone who was going to buy one...I'm not anymore....ever. So, there's some damage. I've owned 2 xboxes and 3 xbox 360s and have over $2000 in games for both. I know lots of people who have decided to do the same thing, and they spend a pretty significant amount of money on games over a console lifetime too.…

This just in: Microsoft undergoes major plastic surgery and corporate facial reconstruction...tries to look as much like Sony as possible.

If it'll dies bc of it, then either people didn't want it, or the market wasn't ready to take advantage of it. Forcing it on people isn't really a solution to getting people to adopt new technology. Hence, 3D technology...been around since the 1940s...still struggling to find life.

I dunno about how you say it's always been pronounced, but his name wasn't even Tidus in the Japanese version, ティーダ is Tida. And usually when you translate something, the pronunciation goes with it. I don't mean this to sound the way it probably will, but I'm a little English geeky sometimes.

I agree. Everything I've seen from Wind Waker HD doesn't really seem like anything more than a resolution upconvert. FFX HD took a freaking huge leap.

I remember reading this case in law school. It was pretty ridiculous, but it's cool you brought it up. If I remember correctly, the court described Pepsi's commercial as "mere puffery".

What? A) How can virtual people be objectified...you're silly. Are these characters modeled after someone in particular? B) Even if you try to tie this back to reality...some people make a living from being objectified, and it would seem that many of them are quite happy to do so, hence the booming porn industry.…

I saw this one a few years back...and it's still incredible.

While you're technically correct, it's not too hard to practically make the connection, and obviously, by naming it Diablo, the creators had some intent in making the connection. Diablos has entered several languages to take on a practical interpretation of Satan or devil, but it actually means "accuser" or…

I don't agree with Pat Robertson, but Chris, your article says "despite never having played one in his life..."

You were gonna pay for Xbox Live anyway and not get free games. :)

Maybe if fans (like me) stop buying, then we'll finally get remakes of the stuff we love...like FF6, 7, and 8. :)

Wow, people still play this game and give John Carmack the time of day in the gaming world. There's the real news.

I've always pronounced it this way as well. A hard G always seemed odd to me.

Here's 2 really good reasons why the creator didn't name it JIF...a) it wouldn't be an acronym for 'Graphics Interchange Format' then, and b) It may have incurred on him a lawsuit that would have put him in the poor house. You're not supposed to intentionally name stuff things that can be confused with other brands or…
