It depends on where you live in the US. I pay $69 (41 GBP) a month for a pretty good connection...

"Epee" is just French for "sword". And that's one of the three fencing weapons, the others being saber and foil.

And no male would ever want to play a female character. It's unthinkable. They should stop putting elves and space marines in as characters too, because I have it on good authority that these games aren't being played by many elves and space marines. If your video game doesn't star an the average of all video game…

At that price, he certainly made a ton of money. I collect games as well, I don't have nearly the collection this guy does, but you can get used games for old systems for a couple of dollars, easy. At this price, the average is $68, way more than these games cost, even considering that many were still in the…

Well the conversation is half a year old but anyway... Does it ever show Aveline's biracial family in Assassin's Creed Liberation? In Broken Age, it just shows a happy family with a mother and father of different races and it has nothing to do with the story. It's just portrayed as a normal thing which is what I…

I completely agree. When I play a game, I'm never trying to make a representation of myself. I'm creating a character who exists in that world and then playing them as I feel they should act, like a game piece, as you mentioned. I might identify with them in some ways, but no more than I identify with characters when…

Do you have a source for that? I couldn't care less for the camera, but the voice activated functions of the Kinect are amazing. I can now navigate, pause, play, etc. my TV (including Netflix, Hulu, etc.) with my voice. No more looking for a remote or even needing to move. I got back from a 20-mile run a couple of…

It's one way they make their money. The other way is by charging the vendors to use their services because if you accept credit/debit cards, you'll get more business by being easier for people to buy from you. Then, they give people points for using their card which can be redeemed toward purchases from certain…

Yeah, I was wondering why that was listed as a bad thing for America. Seems like defeating the British and giving flesh to the idea of the US as an independent nation is a good thing.

You're talking about past incidents, none of which happened in America. What have those companies done this year in this country? Besides, United Fruit doesn't exist anymore. It was merged into with a company that would eventually become Chiquita Bananas. Nor does the company that caused the Bhopal incident, it was a…

You seem to be just angry at groups of companies rather than one. Which specific company and why? In my experience, I pay for medicine and it does what it says it was going to. They can be expensive, but I don't know if that's just the pharmaceutical companies' fault so much as it's the whole American medical system's…

It's the "Worst Company in America" not the worst organization in the world or anything like that. It's a bunch of companies competing over general dickishness, whether that's in screwing over their customer or using their size and deep pockets to make a mockery of the American political/justice system or whatever. If…

If they were actually going to make an Iron Man suit, it likely wouldn't be for the purpose of flying around, it would be more as an augmentation to a soldier on the ground, where it would be better than a guy in BDUs with a flak jacket at the most. And obviously a direct rocket hit would be a problem. A direct rocket…

There's never been a better time. There are tons of games and at 3 years, we're probably at least two years away from a replacement and more than that from the time they stop making new games for it. I own basically every system (PS3, PS4, 360, Xbox One, Vita, etc.) and my 3DS gets played more than any of them because…

If it was a cash grab, they'd have made it cheaper. At $60, it's expensive enough that many will ignore it. At like $20 or so, people would use it much more often and I have little doubt that they'd make more money. Like they said, they didn't price it to make money, they wanted it to be expensive enough that people…

I got bored and put it aside within a week or so of it coming out. However, I picked it up recently and started playing it again. It's really not that bad, I think I just disliked it mostly because I wanted a Final Fantasy game and it was not at all what I had hoped for. I think it's a pretty good game on its own.

That version is somehow worse. It's astonishing.

At first, I thought the voice controls with the Kinect and Xbox One were gimicky, and I wouldn't use them much. Now I feel like I'm living in the future every time I get up to go to the bathroom and tell it to pause or I yell at it to change the channel when I'm in the kitchen, grabbing a drink. Voice control for the…

The current comic book Riddler has even fewer question marks than that...

Also TN here, a toboggan is a hat. Probably because like someone said, we don't typically get enough snow to warrant buying one of those fancy sleds down here, so there's little confusion.
