I'm sure they don't like us treating it like the joke it is and failing to pay any attention because there's nothing driving us to do any more than get good numbers at the end of the semester.

The problem with gamification...

I have a suggestion for the Random Encounter Fridays.

This greatly confuses me, too. I played this back in 2009 and quickly got bored with it. It's like a more limited Bit.Trip Runner or Pitfall, a forced-scrolling platformer that looks nice and that's about it. The game is tiny, and I really have to wonder what makes this an experience worth porting to other systems,…

That depends. Are they using an iPad2 to capture the "iPad3" version of the screenshot? That would sure do the trick...

That's confusing. The iPods made sense doing that. They all had the same basic functionality, so what mattered most was the storage space of the individual one you were looking at, and its form factor. In the case of iPhones and iPads, the form factor is nearly identical and the storage capacity is the same. The main…

It doesn't make any sense that they couldn't support the full resolution of the iPad3. I mean, the processor is some 4x as powerful. And I'm sure the game isn't using nearly 100% of that power just processing the image for each pixel on the screen. 2x bigger resolution in each direction means 4x the pixels, which a 4x…

Ummm... isn't this how ALL iPad 1/2 games look on iPad3? I would assume so, since this looks exactly like games on the iPhone4 did without Retina support. As someone who's done more than his fair share of image editing and working with raster-based images, this is a standard case of resizing an image to 2x its…

Look at those screens, though! I can see the obvious jaggies in BOTH, both exactly the same jaggies. The iPad3 may be rendering at a resolution twice as high, but they both are outputting the same exact image. The iPad 3 is just rendering it like any image would if you took it into Photoshop and blew it up to 2X its…

Shepard IS female to me. That man they always show in the media isn't Shepard. He's some alternate persona. Femshep is a badass. She's not sexy. She could hardly care less. She's exactly what I expect out of a hardened space fighterperson. She handles every situation with toughness and isn't afraid to get on people's…

Pretty much this. If I were this kid's age and hearing about nothing but kids shooting other guys in the head and screaming obscenities and racial slurs over the internet, I'd be all over trying to cut them off from that junk.

The best way to avoid people calling you a troll for having an unpopular opinion is to back it up. I've never been called a troll more than maybe once before, and that WAS due to me just stating an unpopular opinion, and not giving any reasoning behind it. I drop a lot of unpopular opinions because many people fail to…

Honestly, yeah. The story was a bit different, and while I'd argue Samus wasn't altered, they focused way too much on the introspection and soft-voiced "thinking" talk with her. The whole "who's betraying everyone" bit was interesting up until they dropped that entirely, seeming to have completely forgotten it ever…

Personally what I think will happen is devices will simply get a bit more... mobile.

He only said "consoles"

I think you missed the point.

If he's really so sure his idea is great, he has FAR more than enough money to pull it off. 42 million is no laughing matter, and I sincerely hope he finds no success in raising money through Kickstarter. The man was pretty much handed all the money he could ever need and yet he asks us for more...

Maybe you petition to have characters die when MP reaches 0, rather than HP.

He should just call it Sky Ram.

I spend enough time on Furaffinity that ponies doing the naughty doesn't faze me.
