My gaming laptop is quite thin, and so the adverse effect is that the fans are crazy loud when pushed to the max. Like, really loud. Like, jet engine loud.

Sony, it seems, will be who kills Sony.

The main reason why my XB1 S is in the living room, instead of my PS4, is that the damn thing plays everything. XB games, Blu-Rays, 4K BR, DVD, even music CDs, and so it allows me to save space by not having an additional device. There are other things I love about it too, of course, but a discless version of the…

The difference with music and movies and other non-interactive entertainment, is that they are passive. You pay for listening or watching. If someone gets you to watch or listen for free, then obviously this is a problem, as you get to experience it without paying for it.

I get what you’re saying and had the same thoughts. BUT, I think there’s a difference. With playing cards, for instance, WE are the ones attributing value to these. Like you mentioned, they are only pieces of cardboard. But WE are the ones defining their values because WE put value on rarity.

I also don’t know why the American government would even care what other countries do, considering they ignore what other countries do when it comes to more important things like providing healthcare and telling their citizens to wear masks during a pandemic.

Why is it that after the birth of the US, most other modern democratic nations actually consider the importance of regularly updating and improving their system...

I personally know a lawyer who was involved in some commercial transactions with one of the parties being Disney, and while this happened many years ago, he said to me he never, ever, met people as arrogant and stubborn as those coming from Disney. Like, the worst sharks out there he ever met. Toxic people, from a…

The thing with 4K is that while it DOES make sense if you’re sitting close to, let’s say, a nice 28" PC monitor, it rarely does if you watch TV from a relatively normal viewing distance. I’m speaking purely about resolution here. I have a 43" 4K TV in the living room, and sitting at about 8ft from it, the 4K…

dude. Not everyone has the space to keep all their old systems forever and ever. I once had systems dating back to the Atari 2600. I had SMS, Intellevision, Vectrex, NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD and all, Tg16, PS1, PS2, N64, Dreamcast, and so on... I don’t have a dedicated room to store all of my gaming systems and…

I guess all those Stadia users are happy about this.
Yes, all of those 47 people.

Still. If a game is over 100GB, it’s a surefire way for me to NOT buy it. I mean, it will take hours to download, and it’s a safe bet to assume patches will be also effin’ huge.

I had gold on the 360 back then, never got it for the XB1 because I rarely play online anyways. And if I want to, for example, play Forza Horizon 4 online, I just go to my PC, since getting it digital mean I have access to it on PC as well, and play there for free with all my synced progress from my XB1 game.

Doing 360 would make you go right to it. Not away from it. ;) just saying... 

I think the problem is that the market for such consoles is probably too small for a big company like Sony to invest a lot of money into. And let’s be frank here, the PS mini was definitely NOT that great, which hints at Sony maybe not understanding very well what makes such a retro console worth it in the eyes of fans…

This is the first time in the history of videogaming that I feel new consoles just aren’t designed for me anymore. There are too many things about both of them, including their physical dimensions, that make me feel like I should just stop caring now.

Some people have a house with family and kids and minimal storage space - you can’t keep everything forever, man. I used to have a whole bunch of retro consoles like Ataris, NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega CD and the like, and more recent ones like 360, PS3 too... but space was running out. I don’t have the opportunity to…

I had a friend who had a 16:9 HD CRT (not projection), and this thing looked out of this world back then. And truth is, most LCDs these days are still “faking it” when it comes to contrast ratio (with dynamic contrast). OLED, or full-array LED panels, are practically as good these days though, if you have one of…

I got an Xbox One S some time ago, and it’s the console that now sits in the living room (along with my Switch). The PS4 has been sent to the basement TV. Why? Well, because it’s much better as a general media hub than even the PS4 pro. It plays everything, from CD audio to 4K Blu-Ray, two formats that even the PS4…

Personally I’m all over Adult Cinema’s new album “Hot and Cold”. Goes on sale Oct 5 (got it through the preorder so I had early access). Tons of influences from the 70s, and I think this is his best album to date. It’s my favorite release of 2020 so far and a masterpiece of prog-psychedelic-folk-rock. Headphones…
