The big issue with voice chat for me is that 1) people like to use it like a stream of consciousness journal 2) people don’t know how the hell to use push to talk. Seriously, I don’t want to hear your conversation with your mother. 3) some people seem to think that they need to shout for the microphone to pick up…

Get your pitchforks here! ——E

It was bought by Razer. They plan on making “Ouya” in to a publishing arm and discontinuing support for the existing store/hardware after a year. The existing Ouya software team is going to end up working on Cortex and they’re (supposedly) working with Ouya game developers to get their games on the Forge TV, (their…

Besides being brought in to the Chinese market by Alibaba, it’s also one of the most successful Kickstarter projects so far.

Congrats on the successful run. Hopefully you’ll be invited back every once and a while.

This book just happened to be in my local public library. It’s excellent. As with Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir, yes it’s about being an Asian-American, but it isn’t really about that or being an ethnic minority, it’s about not fitting in. I thought it was very relatable despite not being Asian, and I thoroughly…

Here’s a demo if you want to try it before committing.

Once we’re getting to running wires through walls, you have officially lost me on the “convenient living room gaming” argument.

HTML5 is still the better choice even when dealing with smaller, lower quality videos. Take the one of the goal used earlier in the article for instance. It’s an even smaller file than the original gif and doesn’t seem to lose any quality.

Gif Size: 121M

Right now, it’s not 100% clear whether the map is bigger or smaller. It definitely feels smaller, but that might merely be an extension of the aesthetics, rather than a change in geometry.

I understand now. I’m down for new characters, unfortunately, I’m not sure that others are. People will buy Jim Gordon as Batman, but I’m not sure they’d be interested in Jim Gordon as Doughnut Guzzler, cop turned government sanctioned superhero.

It has less impact. If you could pay $30 to keep Black Isle, Westwood, or Pandemic alive then wouldn’t you. Most people can take a hit of $15-$50, but not many companies can take a hit of a few million dollars.

It seems like you’re more apposed to change than anything. Of course comics are going to appeal to millenials now, they’re a large part of the customer-base while older customers have either stopped buying comics, for one reason or another, or are dying off. They can’t afford to keep old “Great oogly moogly!” Batman &…

It’s “the same public” if you’re looking at society at large, but no one is going to double pay for the game. People who fund the game (at a certain reward tier) get a copy of the game, often at a lower than retail price. Then the game releases to the general public and a new pool of people buy it.

Kickstarters that fail are scams and multiple successful and fruitful Kickstarters from a single source are money grabs. Makes total sense.

It’s like someone stuck his head in a vice.

I thought that Bryce Manor was a fantastic game on mobile, so I can’t wait to play this on my iPad.

They banned the Rockstar account of the creators, thus they now bear the onus of showing a fundamental breach of the Terms of Service.

I also think that the first 3 could be natural. #1, literally just look down and you can see your chest. #2, do a sit-up and at some point in the motion you’ll get that view. #3, lay down, bend your knees, and do a sit-up. You’ll get pretty close to that view.
