NFC is totally rad. But the "even Google's Nexus line" threw me a bit. All the Nexus devices except the very first one have enjoyed NFC (S, GN, N4, N7, N10). You make it sound like Google was late to the party, Whitson!

I appreciate that he takes his beliefs very seriously, but there's no meat to this story. He wanted a refund, Valve gave him one. I'm filing this next to the adopted kid whose parents went apeshit over Portal 2 and that Marshall idiot from years back who flipped out because he didn't realise FFXI required an internet…

I don't think that's correct, necessarily. They poll the community all the time, and it Morrowind routinely tops the list as the best installment in the series. Sure, you always love your first Elder Scrolls title (well, unless it's Battlespire)... but Morrowind had a more fully realised, complex, fantastical world…

"This mission just got a lot more cock."

The additional step you're referring to (to explicitly permit connection via USB) is new in Android 4.2... otherwise trying to ADB into the phone will just show the device as offline. I don't believe there is any way around it, although I suppose you MIGHT be able to just hard-boot the phone into the stock recovery…

If you had told me last year that Star Wars would be murdered by someone NOT named George Lucas, I'd have been... skeptical.

Most of the time the combat serves the game pretty well. But when it falls apart, it REALLY falls apart.

I'm happy with my pin lock and the fact that 4.2 requires confirmation before you can ADB into the device. Otherwise it'll just show OFFLINE whenever you try, say, 'fastboot devices'. So that removes the easiest way for someone to profit by stealing my phone. Can't turn it on without being data-visible, and can't wipe…

I'm glad it's F2P, maybe that'll ensure a decent crowd. Planeswalkers is neat, but super limited. Eye of Judgment was uber-rad, but died off in an instant... THAT one still bums me out! Such a fun game...

Oh good god, I am so excited about this.

The Tali romance is so perfect. The scene on Rannoch, when Shepard decides to take the fight to the Reaper? Flawless. And the drunk Tali scene about Miranda had me laughing for a good ten minutes. This scene, here, is just icing on one excellent cake.

My favorite:

This. This so much.

Oh, that is so great. Grunt is the best.

I'm actually pretty excited about this. As I get older, I think I value random timesinks that don't demand enormous things from me. This CCG looks like it'll fit the bill nicely.

That looks... awesome, actually. I'll definitely give this a shot.

Timeless. The original components of this build date from, um... 2010? 2009? But like any good DIY build, stuff gets upgraded as needed. I mostly use it as a Netflix-maxing, Blu-Ray archiving, fair use abusing HTPC anymore (the rest of my usage cases are my Nexus devices) so my PC requirements are a lot lower than…

I agree, to an extent. I have a Nexus 4 and hardly EVER utilise any widgets on my device (or actually app icons on my homescreen save for the four groups in the dock). With other properly set up services, I find widgets aren't very useful— all the information I need is readily available and organised for me on my…

I'm with the others. Buying a game that was known to require an internet connection (regardless of the necessity of it, this was a DESIGN DECISION and it was heavily mentioned before the game's release) and then complaining that you can't use it because you're frequently without an internet connection borders on…

I'd like to believe there is a divide between being open and comfortable with your body (good thing) and sniffing your sisters' vaginas on your reality television show (just weird). Does that not really feel like a stunt for television for you?
