Crap, the perfect response is the pun i already used... Self-nerf.

Urgot to be kidding me!

Yeah honestly, without even needing to get into the myriad tech evaluations, the buttons are a huge reason i never got one. It still feels like the PSP Evolved rather than a portable version of a modern gaming system. It's an odd comparison, but i think the iPod Touch model would be good for the Vita: a device…

Maybe it'll ride out the AAA game doldrums? It seems that, as we play more and more games on mobile devices, we're beginning to hit the simple, technologically boring truth: battery life sucks for intense gaming on phones and tablets. As someone who struggles with battery life and does not have a Vita, it really…

That marked-up ad was a great illustration! No i completely agree with you. I was quoting the position of someone who felt entitled to perfection in today's video games.

Haha the steering wheel just doesn't render one day and you try desperately to wrestle the column itself as the car careens off the freeway.

Understandable but false equivalency: hardware =/= software. Try getting a refund on Excel because you automatically select multiple cells and have to zoom in/out to temporarily shake off the [infuriating, trust me] bug. I see where you're coming from if the bug is game-breaking—on that we agree: if the DVD came…

You may have had the feeling lately that the games you've been buying and playing didn't quite get finished when they were shoved out onto store shelves. Well, a lot of them weren't done baking.

Yeah it's not like game discs, packaging, and code redemption processing just magically appear at midnight release. Nor does the entire dev team get up a month before release and shut down their computers to bask in the sun until after release day to begin working on DLC. I see a lot of the same people who constantly…

On the upside, games still cost $60, which is mind-boggling considering the rise in cost of making games from when MSRP first became $60.

THANK GOODNESS! He's not buying the hype. He knows that Metacritic is broken nonsense that actually hurts video games.

So there's a big caveat to all that follows. I can't prove its true. I can't prove that the stories he told me about how he'd deceive people to get personal information are real. I nevertheless believe it's important to try to understand this murkier side of one of the most notorious and dangerous forms of modern…

Unfortunately, that's kind of true. That's why banks have more security than bakeries. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst of humanity.

"That place blows

False equivalency, unfortunately. If the world was made of CDProjektRed's and action-RPGs and all companies were the same scale and funded congruently and everything else was the same, then yes, Witcher 3 would be a damning comparison. I will never play Witcher 3, but i would play Evolve, and this is how you fund…

If we want affordable video games, why are we so angry about day-one and cosmetic DLC? Do we think that content comes out of thin air, or that people don't want to keep their jobs after working on a game that costs a lot more to make now but costs the same to buy as 5 years ago?

I know, accounting for legal practicalities as well as technical and business practicalities when making/selling a product: SO CRAZY.

U.S. IP laws compel active defense of your marks. Or would it be better to let someone who happened to be first to file successfully just sit on his throne of marks until he arbitrarily smacks down an unknowing user from time to time? If this guy can afford lawyers, he can afford to have a mark search conducted when…

It's true, and it's a good rule: to require that people actively protect their trademarks rather than just successfully get an application approved and then sit on it forever until they deign to descend therefrom to smack one unlucky name user arbitrarily.

It's Fall Out Boy. When i see that, i always think of meh music and not the glorious Fallout universe. The space in between is the glasses of Clark Kent/Superman.
