Yes. It's the main thing keeping me from buying a lot of nintendo eshop games... If my console gets damaged/lost for whatever reason, I lose my games too... So, for now, I'm stuck importing physical games, at a much higher price due to taxes, than if I got them on the eshop... Making me buy less games overall and…

Rome 2: Total War was a huge disappointment for me. It's been three months now, and even after 8 patches, many fundamental aspects are still broken. Siege AI, parcticularly, which is a huge part of the game, and worked perfectly well in the original Rome: TW, was completely non-functional, and only today got a beta…

Forgetful Snails is going to be my new band name.

Hell, yea, I played A LOT of Carnivores on the PC, back in the day. Didn't even know it was out in iOS

The point of this is mostly moot if Valve manages to get their own, already announced, streaming solution going, which would negate the need for an expensive gadget and an nVidia video card (provided it works well enough).

From article:

this seems relevant, maybe?

more likely running from the gases and the smell and the bowels and the goop streaming out of the whale's abdomen. If he had stood there, he'd have been half-submerged in that stuff.

"Games will be in the cloud by 2020 not on HDs."

Privately-owned self-driving cars would benefit us by lowering accidents and stress, which would be good, but would do very little to otherwise improve the current crisis in city traffic and the quality of life.

Yea, the idea of the "mist" is fine... it's just the execution that's a bit limited by the hardware, imo.

The only part that hasn't aged well, imo, is the cloudy overlay at around 2:30. I find it distracting when looking at a video (tho, granted, when you're actually playing, it's not as bad). It was a technique widely used in SNES games, and could be improved a bit with distortion and mode7, but overall what they were…

Hey, based on that, he (you?) could easily do Dr Light from Megaman X!

Shouldn't it be "current" gen began, then?

That doesn't make much sense. If it's already begun, then it's CURRENT gen, not NEXT gen. Next is only next until it starts.

OK, I'll bite it. I understood the "white" in the video not as "normal" for the H. Sapiens, but rather as a sign of absence. Meaning, "in this hypothesis, there is no H.S.", so here's a blank (white) looking silhouette.

Really, that's one of the things that people do just "because we can". Maybe to show off how they can blow money on needless complexity. You'd be hard pressed to find *any* functional use to the torsion. In fact, it probably makes the building functionally worse, creating problems on the disposition of working/living…

Eh. My favorite fish for daily consumption is the tank-grown tilapia, which feeds pretty much on plants, and a little bit of insects. So, no, not all fish eating is bad for the oceans.

Hmm. That's what I plan on doing about 30-40 years from now, myself (the retirement and voluntary work on critical thinking part, not the maths part, tho - not my forte). Hey, you know what, I like you already. What a nice bunch of folks we have here on io9 (and I mean it. I'm really enjoying this thread)

Hmm. I have the house plant problem, myself. My girl moved in with me a couple months ago and we've been an absolute failure keeping our domestic garden going. Out of about 10 plants, we now only have a little shrub of scallions and a tiny arugula plant still alive. Is it insensitive, daring or plain evil that we…
