The new Humble Bundle just went live.

If you haven't yet downloaded GTA: San Andreas from Amazon, they're still giving away $20 in coins with your purchase, so you could use your $10 credit to buy the game, and end up with $23 and six new apps in your pocket without spending a penny. [$10 in Free Amazon Coins]

If that was the case then I doubt that we'd be hearing about the negatives of the product like nausea after a short time of playing and low screen resolution.

TBH I think that aesthetic appeal is more important than graphical fidelity in most cases; contrast and color temperature definitely have some influence in that department, so I'm inclined to agree.

People don't just lie about how good a product is because they bought it. I bought the original Kinect and the Ouya and since the day I got them both I've been saying that they were bad purchases. Now, I could pretend that both products were good, but anyone can see that they weren't and it wouldn't change anyone's…

I'm going to hold my judgements for now. I haven't tried the Rift, but reception has been pretty overwhelmingly positive. Is it enough to break in to the mainstream and have a lasting impression on video games or consumption of media though? Ignoring the fact that people are skeptical of 3D technology and past failed…

I made a cedar case for my Zune HD in high school, it was two pieces that slid together to encase it; it cracked when i dropped it on a hard floor. In retrospect, I should've made one for my first gen zune. I wouldn't have had to make it as thin since the first gen Zune was so thick that it wouldn't matter if it was…

I'm glad to see that Supergiant's success wasn't just a fluke. Bastion was possibly my favorite game of the year and based on your review Transistor might be my favorite this year. I'll definitely be picking this up soon.

More important, I'm not so sure, but it's definitely of equal importance.

You're crazy if you think stats should carry over from one game to another. Ignoring the technical limitations of that, it just doesn't make sense from a gameplay perspective. If that were to happen in MMOs then players would miss out on low level content on new games, and because MMO gamers tend to play multiple MMOs…

The tree growing out of the floor of a building at 19 minutes is so cool to me. I've been fascinated with nature reclaiming buildings for a while now. Whenever I take a roadtrip down the east coast I always see buildings that are totally dilapidated and are completely covered in vines and have brush growing at their…

To my knowledge, the NPCs didn't see the adventurer presence as an influx or a new thing at all. Prior to the apocalypse they were just seen as mercenaries, which obviously changed as they began to form their own civilizations. IIRC in episode 14 Ri Gan reveals to Shiroe that adventurers appeared in Elder Tale 240…

This is why I encourage everyone to install Gfycat Companion if they're using Firefox or Imgur to GfyCat if on Chrome. They automatically converts gifs in to looping HTML 5 videos and uploads them to Gfycat, which saves a lot of bandwidth - very useful if you have a cap or a slow connection. On this gif alone I saved…

Even if this illusion hadn't been created until 2003, the concept of the illusion has existed for a long time. Discover Magazine says that the illusion has existed for centuries. I'm not bashing you for sharing, but most people should be aware of it. In case anyone wants another one, watch this video of a Charlie…

In some ways the MMO setting is really poorly explored or exists in such a fashion that it doesn't make sense to actual gamers. SAO's loot system is broken when compared to IRL MMOs, Kirito keeps the same sword and armor from like level one until end game; are you serious? Kirito's stats from one game migrated in to…

That was much better than I had expected. A lot of abridged series are a long chain of farts and masturbation jokes.

They were bought by Google, not Gawker. =P

Yet, the flow of the sounds is all wrong. The eye first goes to sound Goku makes when his foot hits the ground, then the dialogue box about leaving one's legs wide open, and then the sound of King Chappa hitting the ground. The scene unfolds in an entirely different manner.

I think it makes sense to make decorative fire extinguishers. In my area (idk if it's a local or state law,) it's a requirement to have a fire extinguisher in the kitchen when you sell a house. In my aunt's case the previous homeowner installed a stand for the fire extinguisher in to the wall. If you've got to look at…

I'm not sure that's so much on Google as it is on the owner of the site in question. Google wants to maximize profit for their company while eliminating as much competition as possible, it's a typical business practice in any market. The fact of the matter is that Google doesn't have a monopoly on any of its…
