This might sound very conspiratorial of me, but I swear to god I never once saw any sign of Microsoft acting gracious and courteous to a competitor (particularly Sony) before people started commenting on Sony's marketing campaigns as being cheap or tacky recently.

I'm not just being overly paranoid or trying to find…

Honestly I don't get the way so many people talk about Sony acting tastelessly in recent marketing campaigns and the like.

There are some pretty tacky advertisements out there.
During college we did a study that involved an advertising campaign engineered to make people thing they were seeing an underaged girl strip.

Ever…

They really seemed to make a bad choice of software to show off.

I felt the playstation segment really worked because the game they showed, namely Playroom, was very reactionary.
The game is more about reacting to what you do than waiting for you to react to it.
Things like kicking the robot onto the screen.

Things like…

A one second sound millions of people are going to be hearing on a very frequent basis for the next few years.

That's a lot of seconds!

Yep, the yearly installs of those games that arguably offer much less in terms of new content than the expansions packs they have added to World of Warcraft!

World of Warcraft is a drastically different game now to how it was at launch, where Call of Duty in my opinion has barely changed since the original Modern…

You also have to consider that whilst the visuals appear at an angle, the positioning of the camera and the gameplay still act as though it is directly in birds-eye.

Were the camera at an angle rather than the models, even though Link would appear in the centre of the screen you would be seeing more of the map above…

Well of course the delicate materials combust in the heat of their combustion!
All other items survive due to the handy fire proof baggy they are stored in!

Back when I was in Uni a good few months ago I wrote my Dissertation based around games and interactive mediums.

One of the biggest hurdles to deal with was the fact that almost every study on games has another study that completely contradicts it.
I really do think a lot of the contradictory studies are bullshit, but…

I've always been a bit bemused about how the system worked over there in America.
I always hear about people with medical bills and the like on tv or the internet but never understood a lot of the finer details to it.

I've spent a pretty good portion of my life in Hospital due to heart conditions and a whole lot of…

So I have to ask.
What exactly happens in America if you go to a hospital with a life threatening injury and you have no way to pay for it?
Not even in the way of loans or anything like that.

Say a homeless man is stabbed or has a terminal, but treatable, illness.
If he walked into a hospital what would happen?

I think a lot of people also forget that most videos you watch on the internet don't live up to the standards of visuals you see whilst actually playing games yourself.

Videos people record often go through filters that reduce image quality to some degree, play with the contrast and cause the colours to fade or the…

I knew a lot of people that did that with their ps2 controllers.
I forgot it was a thing until seeing this comment, never really bothered myself!

I dunno...
The idea of people being happy about inexplicable bursts of liquid of any kind just makes me uncomfortable...

oh my god THEY DO!
I hope we also get an enemy thats just a big sentient ball of evil and it's main power is making your head bleed inexplicably!

This actually kind of explains why the comics seemed to end so darn early.

Is it just me or does Jack Tretton look a little like Michael from GTA V?

It's coming up 4am in England right now.
Please be worth it.

I don't really see the point of this...
Not just in the sense that the host clearly has no interest at all in the device, but why on earth do an unboxing on radio?
