I think he was complaining about there being no indication that the female version of the protagonist exists at all beyond P3P and now this stage play. No alternate universe, no references to the P3 protagonist in gender neutral terms, she just exists for that version of the game and then never again, not even in the…

Yeah, I'm not sure if that law applies to companies that provide a cable-like service that isn't technically cable, like Verizon. The $12ish packages typically have about 10 channels at most. They're generally the ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox affiliates as well as a PBS or two.

Are you actually getting the cheapest package? They're often times not advertised, but US cable providers are required by law to provide a bare-bones package for like $12 a month that includes mostly the stations you would get over the air in the area if you had a really big antenna. The law is there because of…

Yep, and it wasn't too long ago (mid 2000s) that companies said PC gaming was dead because of piracy and they weren't going to develop for it anymore. Then Steam came around and PC gaming is as good ever.

There have been articles saying console/pc gaming on their deathbeds since the 80s. I don't see console or PC gaming going anywhere soon.

The statement that semi-automatic weapons aren't practical for hunting is just not true. It's more rare to see someone duck hunting with a weapon that isn't semi-automatic than one that is. Semi-automatic just means that once you pull the trigger and it fires, the next round is automatically loaded, no need to pump or…

No, but very few private citizens own automatic assault rifles in the US, and they're illegal for use in hunting in all states. To get fully automatic weapon in the US, you have to go through the ATF which is about as strict as the Japanese regulations mentioned above, which is why we've never seen a mass shooting…

How am I entitled and the company isn't? How are they entitled to the consumer's time and effort to send it back to them? The consumer didn't screw up, the company did. If they want to offer some kind of credit for returning their item to them, then maybe there's a reason to do it, but I doing charity work for a…

And even beyond that, a company shouldn't be able to compell someone to do anything without the customer agreeing to it. Even if they are covering all costs, I shouldn't be required to box up the item and take it somewhere to ship it. My time is important to me, making sure they recoup their financial losses isn't.

Yes, it does. I've played strategy games for decades and no other game has been so good that it has ruined other strategy games for me like Crusader Kings II has. I bought Total War: Rome II, after buying and loving every Total War game since Shogun, and I just couldn't get more than a couple of hours into it. It has…

I don't think the games of the past had a better or worse percentage than today, there've always been tons of crappy/mediocre games and a few good ones. The problem is just that people mostly only remember the good ones and forget the rest, making old games seem like they were better overall.

Don't bash Arrow, I think it's the only thing DC is doing right when it comes to movies/TV. They make a decent super-hero show that features the super-hero in a somewhat believable role and they include other characters and references to things from the comics. What a concept.

But they weren't dead on Lost until part of the last season (the flashes to an "alternate universe" where they never wound up on the island). People seem to not understand that and think they were dead the whole time. They're alive during the whole island part which is almost the entire series.

They can be removed, but they're made to be on there long-term. That's why if you by parts individually, like graphics cards or processors, they come with badges for you to stick to your custom PC's case.

This should still be possible through emulation. My modern-day Linux machine can run DOS games built for an entirely different processor architecture. There's no excuse for why PS4 can't play PS1/2/3 games. It should just require a layer of software to translate the older systems commands into something runnable on…

CoD is available on other systems, and Killzone has an average score of 74. That's not what I'd call a "strong title". It's not terrible, but it's not anything people are going to remember a couple of years from now, and that's not the kind of launch a console maker should hope for. Honestly, I've never been so…

Compared to what, PS3 and Xbox 360, which also had poor launch lineups? What happened to having a great game like Super Mario 64 or Halo from day one? During all this rush to push a console out the door, maybe these companies should put more thought into the software. I got my PS4 today, because I buy pretty much…

I initially ignored the Republic, but I'm having a lot of fun with it now. Playing as a Republic becomes a very different game than playing as a monarchy. You don't have nearly as much land, but you wind up with tons of money and troops to the point that you can challenge pretty much anyone, despite only holding a few…

PS4 isn't backward compatible, so if you're planning on ignoring the entire PS3 library for the slim pickings of the PS4 library, most people are going to continue to have both hooked up for a while.

I dunno, video game systems have had great games at launch, just not recently... NES had Super Mario Bros, SNES had Super Mario World and F-Zero, Gameboy had Tetris and Super Mario Land, N64 had Mario 64, Dreamcast had Soul Calibur, and Xbox had Halo. It's been a while since a new console came out with a must-have…
