Maybe I'm just getting old, but when I saw this commercial, it seemed so uncontroversial and everyday that I never imagined it would be the center of manufactured outrage. Of all the grand and wondrous intricacies of the universe, it shouldn't take more than a flash of insight to understand that the color of something…

"You must be old. Most people have huge egos and are self-absorbed."

It's the latter. The internet generation likes to believe they're the most important people around, and that their common, everyday lives are the most amazing stories of the modern world, hence the success of Facebook and Twitter. In reality, however, most of these individuals are just as dead common and boring as the…

I think I would like a gaming laptop more than an Xbox One or PS4. That is my answer to that statement.

It's been my discovery that the internet typically brings out the worst in people...but our side has some clout as well. Thoughtful consideration of others may be in short supply thanks to the internet generation, but that merely makes the few available sources all the more valuable.

Welcome to the new normal, where the average worker is exploited beyond measure and is expected to be thankful for the opportunity.

If my math is right, the minimum wage would be over $10 an hour if it had kept pace with inflation.

Done, and done.

I'm not convinced. The current ongoing disaster for Farsight Studios and Pinball Arcade (no new tables for over six months because developers are not allowed to self-publish) is just another in the growing list of reasons I'll be looking for a new console or PC next generation.

So, by trying to be all things to all people, they ended up being nothing to nobody?

Question One: This thing is already too damned complicated. Will it just play games?

Ask Nintendo how that's lookin' on their Wii U sales ledgers. :p

Ho. Lee. BUCKETS. how the hell did I not hear about this until today? Apparently the rock I've been under is invisible to me, anyhow...this is the only MMO offering since WoW that absolutely screams 'must play' to me.

Well, not to put too fine a point on the Wii U, but if you see a man jump from a building, you're not going to stop the tragedy by admiring his impeccable diving form.

Guess that broadway career didn't work out so well for Nathan Lane.

Jersey Shore was the most watched show at one point, also; I'm not sure American tastes are a good basis for determining anything of importance.

Everything about this announcement today makes me extremely uncomfortable about having this thing connected in my home. It's as if games are being used as a Trojan horse for something else that I'm not sure I want to be a part of.

As an Xbox 360 owner since 2005, no back-compatibility really is a dealbreaker in this particular case. BC is the only thing that might've instilled any next-gen loyalty in me, and without that, MS pretty much cut the only thread that kept me tethered to their brand. It's gonna take a lot more than Halo to make me…

Well hey, ten copies sold is still ten copies. :p

Wow, so my prediction that the Wii U would suffer from Dreamcast Syndrome really HAS come to pass: nice system, decent games, nobody cares because bigger things are around the corner.
