I don't do it. I can't do it. I can't watch a movie if I catch it after it has started (unless it's a rewatch); I can't go away from a movie and lose part of it, and I certainly can't sleep halfway through a movie. I also fear spoilers like a vampire fears being impaled by a cross-shaped wooden stake dipped in garlic…

I do have faith, tho my buzz has been greatly killed by Oculus's acquisition by Facebook. I want a machine that can display VR images, and I certainly don't want any of the advertising-and-data-mining-disguised-as-social-features bullshit.

Yup. Same here. No PC, no dice.

to answer the questions directly:

Great analysis! Similar feelings to mine (minus the kid; not quite there yet, heh), tho my "main" machine is the PC, not the PS4.

First, an explanation: For years I've been mainly a PC gamer (tho I do own a Wii, SNES and NES); The games I've played mostly over the past couple years are Total War games, Paradox strategy games, racing simulators, single-player FPS, and DayZ. That said, with all the work stuff I've been doing, I haven't been able…

Not that big problem on a living room TV, considering the distance I sit off the screen. Either way, beats the hassle of moving the big PC to the living room. Plus, the tech will only improve from here.

I've used it a bit during the beta, and it worked surprisingly well, only requiring me to drop game resolution from my monitor's usual 1080p to 720p in order to play lag-free. My days of routing long cables through the house or carrying the PC box around are gone, pretty much.

I'll say what Nintendo is doing right: it's what they've always done - fun games.

now he needs one of those vests with comoressed air pockets that give physical feedback when being shot.

To be fair, threes does have faces and characters. The whimsical art and sound direction really add to the game's charm, and are another reason why it's far superior to its imitators.

As I said, go figure... it's a folk tale, idiosyncrasies abound. Still, there are different explanations; the wikipedia article I linked goes over some aspects of the myth.

Interestingly, we have a very popular folk tale in Brazil which involves a headless mule that roams the countryside shooting flames from its nostrils (go figure).

ugh, no dude. Never even touched your hemorrhoids. That's gross.

Ten. In order of most used to least used:

Fascinating read! Thanks, Annalee. Will try to learn more about the Sogdians - and other central asian civilizations.

We've got one of his buildings (Parque da Cidade do Natal) in my town. Its location amongst the sandy dunes give it a very striking look (as well as making it stand out; since there are no buildings around it, it's visible from a large radius).

Three ways it could look even better:

There is ONE big difference the upgrade in graphics will do, other than looking gorgeous: The game will be much clearer when playing four-way splitscreen. At 480p, things looked a bit indistinct at a distance, but I'm certain 1080p will help a lot.
