They didn’t claim it was the only worthwhile way to “consume” music. They said it was the only worthwhile way to “own” music. I’m inclined to agree. With streaming services like Spotify, I don’t really buy MP3s or CDs anymore. I either stream music, or if I’m buying it, I buy vinyl (which also typically comes with a…

The bigger problem with really strict password rules is that they encourage people to practice poor security because they’re hard to remember. I was in the military and the password requirements for the SIPRNet were so strict (lots of characters, no more than a few letters of the same case in a row, a few numbers and…
$26.99 was cheap for an NES game. It wasn’t the price of a normal NES game in the 80s, just the price of this copy of Super Mario Bros. when it was sold. They were typically around $50, though I can remember specifically my dad buying Godzilla for the NES for me and it was $60. So, they’re a good bit cheaper now than…
Have you played it recently? I agree it was not very good at first, but after subsequent patches, the console release, and the expansion, it’s a great game.
It’s based on height (and weight in some states). The physics of a car crash don’t care how old your child is. Seat belts are engineered for adults, plain and simple. If they’re under 4'9", they need a booster seat for the seat belt to lay on their body in the correct location and function properly.
This is the same reason I’d get one. My 1080p TV is getting a bit old (it was an early 1080p, so it’s now about 11 years old), so there’s a chance I’ll upgrade in the next year or two, but I just don’t see an overwhelming reason to do so right now. Besides, every year I wait is another year of cheaper, prettier TVs…
Wow! I didn’t realize Final Fight Guy was worth that much. I bought a boxed copy from Blockbuster when they were getting rid of their Super Nintendo games. It’s just sitting in a box in my parents’ garage. Looks like I’ll have to find it next to I go visit.
In practice it’s not nearly that loud, though. I have a Garand, and it’s my favorite gun I own. I’ve gone through enough clips to say there’s no way there’s any sustance to this myth. The thing is, the clip ejects right as the last round is fired. So yes, there’s a ping, but it’s muffled so much by the final round…
I live in Tennessee, so not quite California, and I use vinyl. Not only that, but I’ve been to Record Store Day a few times here and the stores literally have lines outside before they open with people waiting to buy vinyl. So, it’s at least popular with a certain group and there are people everywhere who listen to…
Ever since I heard this news story I’ve been thinking the same thing. Their initial statement had said something about listening to feedback. Is it possible that they’re taking some of that to heart and they’re going to release a new version with improvements like longer cords (or wireless) for the controllers? It…
I agree. I’ve never felt like I was in an action movie until I played Super Hot VR. It’s an amazing experience to grab and ashtray, throw it at a guy’s head to knock him out, grab his pistol in the air, shoot a guy coming down the hallway who’s carrying a shotgun, which you also grab and swing across your body to…
The Rift works fine with Steam VR and has since day 1, other than the motion controls being exclusive to Vive until the Touch was released. I had Steam open (not on purpose, it’s just often open when I’m on my PC) when I installed my Rift and a little dialog popped up saying they noticed I had a VR headset and asked…
I’m still having them after the update. My wife and I were playing Snipperclips the other day with the Switch connected to the TV. As the Left Joycon player, I was getting some connectivity/response issues just from leaning back in the recliner and blocking the Switch with my legs and and the bottom of the recliner. I…
I did the same thing. I had a preorder at Amazon and physical one at Best Buy, but I wound up canceling the Amazon one, because I felt I couldn’t rely on it. Even when it gets here on the right day, I’m literally the last house on my UPS driver’s route, so I regularly get packages past 8:00pm. I ain’t got time for…
Yeah, MSI has really good customer service. When I upgraded to Windows 10, I kept getting an error that I needed to activate it. I contacted MS and after hours on the phone, and reading out a number of codes over and over they basically said they couldn’t help me. I contacted MSI and after like 10 minutes on the phone…
This bothered me so much. Why can I not just pop up the menu and see what the nearest quests to me are? It makes sense that the quests I’m most interested in tend to be the ones I’m close to an can knock out while I’m around.
They should have just called it Wii2. The name is self explanatory. People claim that some consumers wouldn’t be smart enough to understand that Wii2 isn’t worse because 2 is less than 4 in PS4. However, if that’s your level of expectation you have in the average consumer, you sure can’t expect them to understand what…
Thank you. I’ve used a Hololens and I was blown away by what the technology will some day become. However, as it is right now, if the current Hololens was widely available and like $300 instead of $3000, I would say it’s still not worth it. The hardware just isn’t there yet. Some day it will be, and it will look…
I’m saying the hardware isn’t powerful enough right now, it has nothing to do with the software. Watching a video of it is very misleading to what you actually see when you’re wearing it. It actually streams to a screen and looks way better on the stream than it really looks when you’re wearing it. That’s why the…
Hololens is impressive more for what the technology will eventually become rather than what it currently is. I’ve used one a bit at work (we do some VR/AR development, though not much, because the demand isn’t there yet). However, it’s still a long way from being ready for the mainstream. The field of view is tiny,…
