I hate messages like that and which  is why I’ve begun passive aggressively replying to “Can I ask you something?” with “You already have.”

I agree with this entirely.

This really shouldn’t be all that surprising, although I am willing to bet the truth is a bit obfuscated here; while I am sure that it will take time to test every game to make sure they all work as intended I’m willing to bet the real reason why they will likely have wholes in the compatibility list comes down to a…

I will be much more impressed when it’s in my hands and working. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Xb1, but it’s less than was advertised leading up to it’s launch. I’ve learned over the years to take what Microsoft says with a mountain of salt. At this time leading up to up to the Xb1 launch Microsoft was spouting out at…

This honestly seems like a no brainer for Sony; I can’t imagine that MLB The Show is a console selling exclusive series at this point so opening up the market to other platforms will simply increase overall software sales while doing very little damage to the hardware market.

I am not at all surprised about this when you consider that the service was rife with theft; I’ve heard of dozens of stories where people rented games to find a sheet of paper with a print out of the scan code on it. Since there is no way to prove whether the current renter or the previous renter was to blame they…

I’m betting it will be Demon Hunter and not Amazon based entirely on the overwhelming popularity of DH.

I will admit that D3 was a rocky game at launch and it is much better now; but I will say that even with BS like the market place, absurd class balance issues, and a general lack of anything to do outside of replaying the story over and over again it was still a great game that was tons of fun to play.

If you’ve ever tried to zoom the camera in to what’s closer to 3rd person you’d realize how bad an idea that is. With the shear volume of enemies, particle effects, and whatnot going on at any moment it becomes hard to actually keep track of whats going on unless you are seeing it from the eagle eyed isometric view…

There is a simple solution for this:

I wonder if this will be the first game we see really dig heavily into voice synthesis rather than voice acting; with the technology becoming better all the time there’s no doubt in my mind that eventually voice synthesis will replace the majority of voice acting in games simply due to the need for so many many…

Hey look, yet another example of how copyright law and the unnecessary litigations that it spawn are in dire need of reformation. Copyright should be strictly used the inhibit the use of specific iconography in specific formats with the sole intent of preventing imitation or fraudulent gains; Iron Maiden should be…

Is it really that surprising that HBO fucked up the finale season of one of their beloved shows? It’s almost as if this doesn’t happen all the time... Just look at the train wreck that is the finale season of the Wire, a show I typically consider to be one of the best in the history of television got a sloppy rushed…

1) Uber hasn’t paid anyone any wages; they have instead offered a service that connects drivers to passengers for a percentage of the drivers profits; that isn’t a wage, a wage is a fixed regular payment delivered from an employer to an employee, which is not what we are seeing here. While it might seem like little…

Ironically if Uber did make drivers into employees it would likely mean doing away with the aspect of a Uber that most drivers actually enjoy; becoming employees would likely come with mandatory schedules, a lack of choice in where you are willing to work and what rides you want to take, and significantly more…

I think you might have missed what he meant; he is not saying that autonomous cars “must” happen but rather our views of how automation changes driving “must” change in order to maintain safety.

This is one of my biggest fears with autonomous driving.

Just wait for autonomous cars to start running off bridges when they chooses the wrong choice in a trolly car dilemma; then they’ll be contending with gravity as well.

Developer focus on “competitive” play has ruined most multiplayer games for me; I miss the pre-internet era of multiplayer games where developers were more interested in making game fun and less interested in the technical aspects. Games like the original Smash, Halo, or even mid-late 90s fighting games, were easy to…

Oddly enough, yes we do tell people to find something else when it comes to other art forms like film, books, music, and the traditional arts.
