Nowadays it's not so much burn-in as it is temporary image retention. I've got a VT50 that gets some IR when i watch a channel with a bright logo on it for more than a few hours, but this is something that goes away 1) with time and 2) if you use a pixel flipper or something like that.

This is exactly what I was going to say; it's a little telling to me that a lot of the people defending Kenny G are in the same breath blasting hip hop. I don't know enough about Kenny G either way to form a decent opinion of him, but you're not doing yourself any favors by turning around and saying "you think Kenny G…

I guess my biggest issue with these Steam machines is that one of the biggest points is to market these towards console gamers who wouldn't otherwise purchase a PC for gaming; but based on price points, there's little incentive for a lot of that group.

Honestly, I don't get all the hate. The new sprites really AREN'T lacking in the detail of the original; it's just that now they're higher res sprites, so the lack of detail is obvious.

To play devil's advocate, we don't know that one is more powerful than the other, real-world performance wise, because launch titles are never a good gauge. The PS3 was consistently pounded for having worse multi-platform titles, because it was harder to program for, but its exclusive titles showed the potential when…

I think the whole ending thing has gotten a little overblown, because at this point it's hard to even discuss it on the internet without someone rolling their eyes and saying "OMGZ TEH ENDING! WE GET IT, YOU HATED IT" but honestly, it was a huge letdown. My brother talked to a few people who blew through the game when…

I didn't love the ending, but I completely agree with your sentiment, so I'm recommending it!

This is pretty accurate. I've got Beats Studio headphones that I bought about...4 or 5 years ago, and which I got for $160 (so about half off). For $300, sure, they're overpriced. But the combination of noise cancellation and bass strength is what sold me on them for the price at which I bought them.

I agree with you on some points; while I think ME3 was an awesome game, it was a little more streamlined than I'd like. The good part of the streamlining is that they improved on the combat to a point where it no longer felt like a cheap ripoff of Gears of War, but the bad part is that you lost out on the slow pacing…

Yup, I actually think I leveled up to like 50 (as crazy as that sounds), before seriously trying to complete the game. It definitely becomes more fun at that point. One of my favorite games of this past gen.

I actually didn't enjoy the Galaxy games much at all. Super Mario 64 is one of my all-time favorite games, but Galaxy didn't recapture that magic for me at all. My issue with Galaxy is that the levels didn't feel (to me) like they were as long/full of secrets as Mario 64s did. I felt like I was running around linear…

So...buying a console partially so that you can play with your friends makes you a sheep? So buying soccer cleats to play soccer with your friends makes you a sheep? Riiight. MS has traditionally been much better than Sony at network infrastructure (XBL killed PSN this past gen), so there's no reason to assume that…

Please remember, 114582, that this is the internet, and on the internet, something as obviously hyperbolic as flying "into a rage" over the ability to turn off a song is something that everyone is going to judge you for, and judge you for harshly.

I bought FFV on Android in the hopes of this exact thing happening. FFVI is my all-time favorite RPG, and the idea of having the sharpened graphics of V added in to my favorite Square game ever...I don't have enough memes to express my excitement.

I'd still say TNG is better, because it's truer to the original exploration ideal that Star Trek was based upon, but I definitely get why people love DS9 (the baseball episode is fantastic, as is the entire Dominion War). At the end of the day though, TNG is the series I wanted out of Star Trek, and it's crew is (for…

Personally, I'm going with A Link to the Past first, followed by Ocarina and Wind Waker in a tie. OoT deserves credit for successfully translating Zelda into 3D, but I feel like Wind Waker gave us some of the best Zelda exploration yet, which is what puts it so high in my book.

Agreed. While I'm perfectly capable of playing difficult games, I prefer my games to be a little more forgiving than Dark Souls, because I play games to escape from stress, not to add to it. With that being said, Dark Souls pretty much INSTANTLY drew me in, because while it's a pretty difficult game (requiring lots of…

It rarely happens, but if I remember correctly, he loves Silent Hill 2 and Portal. Can't really argue with those picks, at least. But yeah, he's pretty picky.
