I'm not sure how anyone in marketing could look at a country that had Jersey Shore at the number one spot on the Nielsens and NOT assume Americans are idiots.

Ha, America will be back to being the world's biggest fatasses in two months. I suspect the absence of Hostess was teh only reason we recently sank to second place.

I'm not sure I understand your question; are you saying that MMOs only need to strive for realism? Don't they all look too similar as it is already?

Perhaps so, although running a marathon at as slow jog means little when you've got a 6,000 mile lead.

Huh, good to see another of the old ones is still running. I stopped reading webcomics back in 2008 after I terminated my own series after 13 years; you don't hear about webcomics all the time like you used to since everyone and their mom's dog has one, but it's always good to see a few long-runners still hanging in…

Maybe I'm just old and cantankerous, but whoever the sticker-slapper was, I suspect he's one of those bitter nerds who will use any chance possible to denigrate attractive women whom his personality has forever obliterated any possible chance he might've had with.

Does anyone know where the actual EVE video is? All I saw was a buncha mosquitoes swarming around a bug zapper.

She should focus her success in the same way games have: look to the West.

Quite lovely, actually. Yes, conceptually it borrows heavily from HP, but does a remarkable job of standing on its own.

If its not new, than its clearly advice that has been ignored for decades. This alone does nothing to renew my faith in Corporate America.

Because they'd already waited a year after the Dreamcast to buy a PS2. Sony was riding on the success of the original Playstation, and brand recognition was all that was needed. It was this very same hubris that led them to release the PS3 with a $600 pricetag, and curiously enough it was Microsoft's turn in the ivory…

An 'official stance' on common human decency shouldn't be an 'official stance'. It should be common sense.

Gamecube and Dreamcast both suffered from Dreamcast Syndrome, which is where everyone knew something far more powerful was coming out right around the corner, and so they waited for that.

And yet if you're in a situation where they're in front of you with nothing covering them, you'll have a hard time convincing us that you turned around and walked out of the room.

Ok, I admit it...I'm impressed.

Doesn't matter. Never does, despite what everyone says. :p

Takeoff and landing restrictions never bothered me. If anything, I just kinda want to unwind when I first get on the plane, and I don't start pulling out electronic devices until we're well underway. Frankly, I'm beginning to think that in my daily observations of life around me, we're reaching a level of tech…

Holy crud yeah, Dredd was awesome. It was one of those films that likely benefited from its scant $40 million budget...it made dystopia tangible. While I was watching it, the one thing that stuck in my head throughout was 'Damn, I could see this happening in sixty years.' Very visceral, grungy, and utterly believable.…

I think the world would be a better place if we judged less and forgave more...but hey, maybe I'm just too friendly.

Neither side is qualified to really comment; the true measure of a console's worth is with the mainstream consumer. Not to put too fine a point on it, the Xbox One's onerous connection and DRM scheme would've made the PS4 the more attractive option to the vast majority of shoppers.
