I thought the same until reading the “stereo headset jack” bit. With wireless you free up your bluetooth controller (which were dedicated to ds4 tool/inputmapper) to either use a bluetooth headset or the headset jack. Might be worth the awful price for people like me who were previously running wires to their headset…

NBC really didn’t want me to watch it, they can stop whining. I would have had no problem paying 15 bucks (cheaper than an antenna) for access throughout the olympics. I don’t know the math in regards to how much that would appease advertisers, but I do know that $15 > the $0 they allowed me to give them.

I appreciate this post, since it’s nearly impossible to watch without a cable subscription, some other service for a month, or vpn shenanigans, and NBC’s video highlights are awful. I know it costs a tremendous amount of money to cover an event like this, but somehow it still feels wrong gating things like the…

In a perfect world, all review copies would be retail copies that were purchased after launch. No embargoes, no rushing through content to make launch review deadlines, no ethical dilemmas, true online play testing. If only people would have some patience and stop preordering.

I like it, the gacha collection mechanic is fun to me and you rank up naturally so fast the NRG meter isn’t a hinderance at all after a while. You get through the 3 islands really fast, but there is still plenty of stuff to do regarding party customization and item collection. Haven’t spent a penny and don’t plan to.…

Independent? Twitch/Youtube? Join the Laura Buzz rebellion?

Yeah I think the new PC focus may be the Xbox brand succeeding (even though right now UWP isn’t doing the brand any favors). They’re trying to get ahead of the shift away from console gaming, and why not since the PS4 is the runaway console success anyway. Next generation will be a fight with Valve and not hardware,…

I’d say 10 minutes of my time to flash a stock os is worth less than the $50 saved, solid value proposition.

Install Enhanced Steam, let it show you how all the sales are worse than historic lows, then clear your cart and regret buying that store credit.

Can you export kindle comics as cbz or cbr after purchasing? I don’t want some new apps for reading different DRM formats when everything else I have is organized and accessible in Comicat.

I am a bit afraid that I won’t be able to connect with the game nearly as well as with the original now that we’re playing as children instead of the immediately relatable Nier. Having Platinum on board at least shows that they understand the one arguably lacking aspect of the first game though, that’s encouraging.

Crossplay is always welcome, but I’m far less excited about PC since they actually mean UWP. I’m glad the game is less exclusive than was previously thought, but that’s about all the enthusiasm I can muster.

Thanks for this post, I’ve been shocked that more people haven’t been talking about the microtransactions in Overwatch. Loot Box gambling is not OK in a game you already paid for. There are far better ways to fund a game’s support. I don’t think anyone can claim that it doesn’t matter because they don’t affect…

Meh, there’s no point. It’s a hobby of its own now. People just love latching onto causes and getting upset. Doesn’t matter what/why/who, if it’s real or makes sense. Shreier got death threats for reporting on a video game delay. This is the world we live in now. Gawker’s certainly no saint in perpetuating it, but it…

There’s some missing fine print here. I looked up 7 series that are complete for sale on the store, and not one of them were complete in the trial. This isn’t the Netflix of comics as it appeared. More like a paid service for access to extended demos. I’d be all in for this if they expand the scope, but it feels like…

I agree, that fps performance doesn’t look nearly comfortable enough at 4k. I’d go in for one if I had a 1440p setup, but those numbers are way too low to justify an upgrade to 4k monitors. You’re on the money that there’s no reason to upgrade if you’re on a 1080p setup unless you want to early adopt VR for some weird…

It’s a port of a remaster of a PS2 game, it released in a solid state as far as I’m concerned. If FFXV releases on PC with capped framerates and sound/animation tied to frames however, pitchforks will be at the ready. Also, please stop using blanket terms like “lazy dev,” it just immediately invalidates your opinion.…

Can we just redefine sportsman-like conduct? For most countries where citizens don’t weirdly tie medals from a game that other people earned to their sense of pride and patriotism, sports is entertainment. If the athlete doesn’t care about their health or personal achievement, by all means become a dopey atomic…

I hope Uber survives long enough to say, “We now fully accept your charge that Uber drivers are employees, should be able to unionize, receive tips, have insurance and benefits provided, be able to charge their own fares, and are not liable for their actions while on the clock. Since you missed the point entirely, all…

Because going to bed is a surrender to tomorrow’s insignificant step in the soul sucking cycle of work, relationship management, and basic need fulfillment. We watch an episode more of Netflix than we should to fool ourselves into believing we have control.
