I wish. If you really test the unlimited plans you’ll learn that they aren’t unlimited at all. I tethered my phone to my computer for months and averaged 150-250gb/mo during that time. After six months or so they cancelled my contract because they ‘detected unusual data use patterns on my account’, by which they meant…

Yeah I feel like we’re very nearly there in typical gyms already. Almost all of the newer treadmills and bikes I see now have the option to either watch regular TV, or to watch a video that makes it feel like you’re running/biking along a trail. You can select the trail location, so that you can run/bike along a snowy…

Yeah I guess it seems more like SWTOR’s model is more in line with the old fashioned game demo. You get a severely restricted version of the game for free, and if you like it you can pay. After playing a few F2P and non-subscription MMOs, it took me by surprise.

SWTOR was so money hungry towards the F2P experience it was almost insulting. I gave it maybe two days worth of play, and eventually quit after the fourth or fifth mission whose reward was a box I couldn’t open until I became a subscriber. It was so obnoxious that every damned thing in that game had a blaring ‘PAY…

Has it been released to the public server since then? I don’t exactly check back on it constantly, and I only occasionally get emails from Funcom on the subject. The pictures in the latest email announcing this big patch looked just like the old graphics engine.

I’ve been waiting years for them to follow through with the graphics engine overhaul, and promised that when they did I would reactivate my ancient account (I started at release, absolutely loved it, and played until maybe 2004 or so) and level up a new character. I don’t think its ever going to happen though. I’m…

So it looks like they went back to the physics of DS1 rather than DS2. DS1 had hilarious floppy corpse physics... there were some areas (the fat fire breathing bugs in blight town I remember most) where after killing three or four, you could roll through them, their limbs would stick to you and then they'd catapult…

That's the first thing I thought of too. Beat me to it!

I just finished a second full run through the game last week, co-op'd it with a friend. With it this fresh in my mind, I can't believe how well he managed to fit everything together. There are only a couple obvious bits I can see that don't go quite where they should... but that is a really damned cool map.

This is what I want to know. The upgraded resolution is actually a bit of a turn-off for me right now, since it comes paired with a) a smaller battery that b) can't be replaced. The thing I want to know about the S6 more than anything else is the battery life.

A long history of videogames has completely ruined me on stock sound effects. I recognized at least half of those.

HAH

Yeah I don't really know how bird behavior would factor in, but imagine it from your own perspective: if you were out jogging, and in the middle of the path you were jogging on you saw yourself running straight at you, and you (maybe not recognizing yourself at first?) moved a bit to the left to pass by, and the…

Well a window would be one thing, but those are mirrors so the bird could see itself. I don't know how much of a difference that would make, but a bird running into the glass there might be like a bird colliding with another bird midair, and I don't know how common that is.

Your note about the need for a time speed-up button in HW1 is totally true, it's been driving me crazy how slow resource gathering is after a mission ends, not to mention how the big HYPERSPACE button is in the middle of the screen the whole time. Sure the game auto-gathers for you when you enter hyperspace, but then…

Having owned HTC phones for a good 6 years now (Evo 4g, then Evo 4g LTE, currently DNA), I can attest to their build quality. Always impressed me how well they hold up over two years of use. That said, I'm getting kind of tired of my DNA, Sense in particular just has too many minor issues (nothing dealbreaking, but…

I might have to give it another try in sandbox mode later then. From what I remember in the first 30 minutes I played of story mode, I landed on a planet, which involved pointing my ship at it and heading towards it at top speed for what felt like at least 3 or 4 minutes. Then being ordered to dock with another ship's…

I bought starpoint gemini 2 a while back, played for an hour, and uninstalled it. The first hour made such a terrible impression, I can't figure out why there are any good reviews of the game at all.

So good that I uninstalled it halfway through the game.

I had been waiting for a couple weeks for a fix to the multiplayer (which is fun in theory, but so unbelievably buggy it's kind of embarrassing for the programmers), and just by glancing at the forums it looked like the patch made things worse than better. So I decided I would keep the multiplayer shelved, and go back…
