That would require actual servers. Destiny PvP is still mainly peer-to-peer.

Waiting for the game to go on sale? Do people who haven’t even purchased the game really count as part of the userbase?

I’m actually glad they stuck with lesser-known but talented actors who fit the characters instead of relying on Snakes-on-a-Plane-style gimmickry just to please a small segment of players.

No. Right now no exchange or conversion service can handle a cash out of $400 million worth of bitcoin all at once. For a balance that big, it would have to be done piecemeal over a period of many months (possibly a year or two), you’d have to trust that whatever conversion service you went with was legit and not…

If things deteriorate to the point where the USD is rendered worthless, what makes you think the power grids and internet will be in good enough shape to handle the bitcoin economy?

I’m pretty germ-obsessive to the point where after washing my hands in the restaurant bathroom and, if necessary, using a paper towel to open the bathroom door, I make sure not to touch a sauce bottle or a menu with the same hand I’m using to eat the appetizer. I get sick very very rarely, while most of my…

Yes, if you’re surrounded by assholes.

There is if you prefer flying in/out of JFK, or if you want to fly nonstop coast to coast without the hassle of a layover in MDW or Denver.

The angle of this photo makes it look like Tyrion Lannister is about to hunt down Ben Richards in the Game Zone

Are there really that many AAA games where the bad guys are a US-based religious cult/militia? I think it’s a refreshing break from the endless parade of aliens, demons, zombies, and German soldiers.

The difference is the urgency and the alarmism of the “Obama coming for our guns” rhetoric is nowhere to be found here. Is there some kind of deeper agenda at work in this article? Do people seriously think the author is trying to stoke racial animosity, screeching like a PC harpy about how Lucio’s design makes…

Verbatim quotes from the article:

There may be upsides to a more frequent, smartphone-style system of upgrades, but the “generation” thing is going to re-assert itself and when it does it’s gonna be a much bigger shitshow than if MS and Sony had just stuck with the same processing specs for the entire 8th gen. At some point, developers will either…

While that’s good advice, it will be followed by precisely nobody in that massive segment of U.S. voters who believe that the world is ~6,000 years old and Obama is a secret Muslim planning to institute Sharia law.

I wouldn’t mind if horses sped up at the cost of damage resistance. Like the ability to go full tilt Kentucky Derby at an objective and anyone who’s good enough to pot shot you gets a bonus based on the horse’s speed. Also have a limited number of horses so when they die they stay where they fall and can be used as…

As accurate as that may be, spending all that effort on horses just to make them a guaranteed death sentence would detract from the fun. It’s not just horses. Tank operators could not fix battle damage while sitting inside the tank during battle, and certainly not in a matter of seconds. DICE also left out thousands…

They could implement time and money barriers. You can only change your nickname once every x months or so, and it costs $25. Nicknames in a gaming network should work the same way Facebook names work. Your real account ID is a long, unique string of numbers/letters and it never changes. So if you act like a jerk and…

I’m nearly at 300 despite finishing only one Vault of Glass raid and being mediocre at PvP. Special events like Iron Banner and SRL do give out pretty high level rewards regardless of how well you do. Otherwise when none of my friends are on I tend to go on patrols and grind out all the PvE bounties I can find…

Something fishy’s going on. Despite the $59.96 base price, Walmart’s free Value Shipping for orders over $50 is not an option at checkout.

I would look for a 60” 1080p Samsung without the smart features as they’re completely redundant if you already have a console, Chromecast or similar device. 4K only makes sense if you’re playing games on a high-end living room PC. Thanks to the woefully stagnant state of broadband internet in the year 2015, 4K media…
