It has everything to do with what you've typed, the principal finding (not that it's much of a finding) is that viewing anything at a close distance creates myopia, which you're misconstruing as being less detrimental than viewing brightly-lit screens at close distances for hours at a time. Contrary to what you might

No, but focusing on nearby objects will actually shift the minimum distance at which you can focus on objects. Focusing on anything at a short distance will actually make you near-sighted over time; the less you use your ciliary muscles to focus on faraway objects, the more your eyes get used to accommodating to

Their Crystal Tools engine was developed to be used on several Final Fantasy games. Look where that got them. Though, it is nice that the Luminous Engine is meant to be used on practically anything. I just hope it doesn't end up like its predecessor.

Agreed. I don't care if it isn't original, I'd love a Portal-esque Nintendo game.

The consumer is to blame. Always. For instance, it doesn't matter that the pop music industry has hundreds of millions of dollars, they can't convince me that Justin Bieber or Kesha are the best artists ever and that I should buy their shit. Why? I don't need or want to be told what I should buy or like. Put your

That's pretty much my stance. I've played many of these Lego games and, the gameplay is solid, but it doesn't snag me. My nephew loves the games and often begs me to play with him, but it's such a bore.

Yeah, if it was a step backwards, then it'd essentially be Far Cry, and thus a better game.

That hug looks somewhat forced. Are you sure they're not trying to strangle each other with love?

Riku. Sora and Riku, not Rikku. I doubt a certain al-Bhed thief who's been adapted to be a friggin' pixie in Hollow Bastion has been tagging along with Sora this whole time.

Probably not.

I really hope you're wrong. Let's consider the facts ... Nomura's the one who's been working on Versus XIII. What has he been doing since 2006?

Not that giving them your money would be justified, anyway. As much as I love Pikmin and New Super Mario Bros, I need more than those two games to feel compelled to get a Wii U. I don't feel as if we're being offered enough first party titles.

The data transfer rate on those is limited, too. USB 3.0 is supposed to be really great from what I hear, but again, it's not as fast as having some sort of direct connection to the motherboard. I'm probably spouting some rather inaccurate statements here, but from my understanding, developers would want to use a

Some people would see it as a dick move, but I've never been opposed to the idea of expansion slots on controllers - the form factor is cool. However, I guess some of the difficulty lies in the fact that there's a speed cap on wireless data streaming, so it isn't something you could plug into the GamePad. It'd have to

And I don't necessarily think it will. Developers can be smart and responsible with the controller and not use it for more than nifty menus or maps. I don't think the framerate of the Wii-U would get halved if two separate screens were displaying trivial information.

There aren't any games in development that use two GamePads, not that it's a problem, anyway: the human eye cannot perceive much difference in frame speeds in excess of thirty frames per second. With clever tweaking, game developers can make games still look and play great at that speed.

Thank you for echoing my thoughts on that one. That's exactly what I was thinking when I saw his name, haha.

You can't rush perfection.

You do have valid points. Cinema in general has become quite degrading and almost embarrassing to watch, and indeed, the first movie was better. However, if Shane Black is handling the third movie, we can only hope that he'll make some tasteful decisions with the creative direction of the series.

I liked the second one. I think you're kind of alone in this.
