Crossovers between hip-hop and video games tends to remind me of Nintendo Thumb.

That post got my eyes watery.

Yup. It wasn’t ideal, but certainly manageable. Given the choice, a mouse is obviously the better of the two.

Cannon Fodder was one of my favorite SNES games.

I remember that Stick of Truth scene. It was fucking horrific.

I think it comes down to whether it’s nudity as art or nudity as pornography. Does the nudity exist as part of a larger narrative or does it exist so people can get their rocks off?

It’s possible that they got hacked. A lot of companies take the “your account’s security is your own responsibility” approach. If the password isn’t stolen from their servers then it’s your problem. Admittedly, I’m not sure that EA is one of those companies, but it’s possible.

I recently rewatched the original PPG, and while they did show some fairly grizzly stuff for a kids’ tv show (e.g. teeth and blood flying out of people’s mouth) they did their share of arbitrary censorship as well. Take this clip starting at 0:43 for example:

Looks like poo-poo. One also has to wonder what Kanye’s involvement in the project is. I doubt it was much more than “Ey yo, I want to make a video game. Check this out, right. It’s about my mom riding on a Pegasus flying to heaven. Make it work. What? You don’t want to do it? I MADE YOU. I’M KANYE!” Then the dev does

That’s probably a poor choice of words given the subject matter since “sweet,” when used to talk about video games, means “good.”

I saw a DVD for iZombie in a bargain bin once, read the back of the box and had to wonder who the hell would watch such a ridiculous show. Some time later I saw its high rating on Netflix and thought I’d give it a shot.

It’s mostly used by college creative-types because conformity. You’ll mostly find STEM, especially computer science students using Linux. Primary and secondary schools are mostly using Chromebook at the moment.

If only they weren’t so loud. If I forget to turn my volume below 25% I’m in for a good scare.

I wish the character select was cleaner. Consider something like the DBZ games, where they list all of the available characters THEN you pick a form. They can still claim that they have 100+ fighters if they want, it’ll just make finding the character you want a lot easier if you aren’t searching through 100

Some are, others are just different forms. Going by order of appearance on that list:

Unfortunately, whether video game sales rise or fall in the next year, it isn’t really indicative of piracy’s effects.. This decision isn’t occurring in a vacuum - the sales depend on plenty of other factors.

3DM may not be the only piracy group, but it’s definitely the most prominent. Odds are that if you’re downloading a pirated game it was either cracked by 3DM, Skidrow, or Reloaded.

I’ve heard that Zenmate is a good alternative, though I don’t have any experience with it myself. There’s a premium subscription that’s supposed to be very fast, but the free service seems to be acceptable as well.

Cydia, here we come!

If you’re going to continue using it then you might want to install something like Extensity so you can easily disable the plugin when it’s not in use. I can definitely see the appeal of Hola - it’s fast and free - but I’m not sure I want to take the risk.
