Um... no.

Seriously, I played the entire thing on Xbox 360 and didn't notice any significant bugs. A few frustrating game-play issues surrounding "fart training" but that's about it.

Seriously, "Half-Life" and "Far Cry" are the only ones I can even imagine paying to see, that might be ANY good at all (and heck, they have trilogies built in, so if they're successful, it's gold).

The way websites are designed has NOTHING to do with how video is presented. There's a HUGE reason why TVs aren't portrait. Why YouTube isn't portrait. I can't tell if you're being a troll, willfully dense, or just stupid.

What the hell are you even talking about? You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. There's a special place in hell for people who make portrait-mode videos like this.

There's a special place in hell for people who video stuff like this in portrait mode.

The news of a new Borderlands game due THIS YEAR has made me completely and irrationally happy. YAY!!!

Windows Phone 8 can bundle up several of these into its "messages" app... if someone messages me on Facebook for example, it pops up in my messages app just like any old text message does. And when I reply, the reply goes back to facebook instead of as a text message. It's pretty cool.

So right-click the start button and select "shutdown". Or press Windows-X, U, U. Or Bring up the charms, select settings, power, shutdown. Or tap the windows key (or Windows-S) and type "shutdown". Hell, once you do that, you can pin it to your freaking task bar. Edit the properties to add an "/S" parameter, and…

Yeah, pressing the power button on your computer is so unintuitive (rolling eyes).

I use Windows 8.1 on a non-touch desktop PC all day every day, at work and at home, without any "classic shell" or "start8" or "startisback" crutches. I rarely see 'metro' anything. I am MORE productive than I was on Windows 7. The GUI doesn't get in the way at all. But then I took the time to learn it and…

Alt Tab cycles through all apps (desktop apps and metro apps). Win-Tab cycles through metro apps and "the desktop". Use whichever one meets your needs.

You can get this for applications you pin to your task bar with Jump Lists (right-click the taskbar button... doesn't even have to be running). It's very useful there. Not a complete replacement, but it's useful and some people aren't aware of this feature.

Yes, it's configurable, but on a desktop that isn't touch, the "boot to desktop" is really a huge benefit, more than it sounds... because it also means that when a metro app is closed, you return to the desktop instead of the start screen. But it's totally configurable in the same place as always: Right-Click…

Nope. Upgrade in place, just like any other Windows Update.

This is for new users who don't know anything and aren't interested in learning anything. It defaults more intelligently (less likely to throw a desktop user into Metro unexpectedly), and when a user does find themselves in Metro unexpectedly, they can "discover" how to get out by mousing around. Mouse to the top…

Don't confuse familiarity with functionality. If you tried to use a car like it was a bike, you'll feel you're "fighting it" all the time. Windows 7 and 8 work great, but if you try to use it exactly as if it were XP and are unwilling to change anything or learn anything new, then you're not going to be happy.

The syncing is completely controllable at a rather fine granularity. For example, I want different desktop backgrounds on my different devices, so I simply turn off syncing the background image.

This applies to Windows Phone 8 as well.

Opinions can be inaccurate. You're thinking of opinions like "I like apple pie". that can't be inaccurate. But there are a great many opinions that are based on faulty assumptions that CAN be inaccurate.
