It looks odd at first, but if you think about it, it actually makes sense. Why have a controller turned facing you, where you can only use two thumbs to access all the myriad buttons? If you turn it around like this, you now have 8 fingers at your disposal. Granted, the controller would really need to be optimized…

That one pic of the transformer in front of the suspension bridge is in itself better than all three of those stupid transformer movies.

I thought it was interesting in the video that everyone got quiet when they saw the guy with the guitar.

I paid full price for it a few months ago, and it was totally worth every penny. So even if it doesn't go back on sale, I recommend getting it.

I agree with all of those things, but "wacky" isn't the word I would have chosen to describe it's "otherwordly" features. "Wacky" is what I think of when I watch that video of The Burger King in Oblivion.

It seems that some people are incapable of empathy, or for that matter, logic. "Why is this article here?" Maybe because it's extremely relevant to the video game industry, and this is a blog about the video game industry. "The gaming population is mostly male." And what is your fucking point? How does that make…

Why is Morrowind "wacky"? I thought it was very similar to Oblivion and Skyrim for the most part (other than, of course, the way combat was more based on die rolls).

I think this might be a symptom of how school grades work. We're ingrained with the idea that 90+ (A) is good, 80+ (B) is above average, 70+ (C) is average, 60+ (D) is below average, and anything below 60 (F) is failing.

While I do not deny female gamers have to endure a lot of misogynistic bullshit while online, not every female on Xbox Live is a saint. A couple weeks ago, some friends and I took to Gears 3 multiplayer, and got our asses handed to us by some level 60-80 folks, who have obviously been playing the game for a while. I…

@xXinsane1Xx I do. [www.youtube.com]

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks.

No, I'm with Tom on this one. Only hookers and strippers walk like that. Not wives. Unless maybe he married a hooker or stripper... hmm....

What is meant by "extended persistence"?

I'm sure they can come up with cool stuff that doesn't require you to stand 6 feet away and wave your arms. Like head-tracking and voice control. C'mon, Fahey. Think outside the box. Outside the Xbox, as it were.

This is the direction my mind immediately went after playing with Siri for a bit. Can't wait til everything is voice activated. "Xbox, play the next episode of The Walking Dead". "House, dim the lights 50%". "Wife, make some popcorn."

This is incredibly relevant to video games! You must have never played a game online with strangers. I usually play online with friends in party chat so I don't have to hear the ignorant people throwing slurs around. When we joined a game of Gears 3, and party chat was being glitchy, we joined game chat. It took…

Yeah, that guy's opinion is wrong because it's not your opinion! Why can't these people see the logic here? Judging by his words, it should definitely equal the square root of (0.97 * pi).

I didn't upgrade. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the game ran on my PC when playing the beta. No, I couldn't turn on all the bells and whistles, but it still looked good and ran at about 40fps minimum. And that's with a video card that technically isn't even supported. I ordered it for PC because I love…

My only problem with online passes is when I go to my friends house to play Xbox lan games, and we all have to redownload our online passes before we can play. I wish they could just connect the online pass to your user name instead of the console.
