Awesome idea for an episode though! Spike is like " Let's hook up this rad video game to Teletran 1 and play Altered Beast!" then oops, it's Megatron.

Two of my most favorite things in the world! SEGA & Transformers pretty much defined my childhood. Articles like this make me happy, and nostalgic for the days of SEGA consoles at the same time. Thank you Owen!

Give the community time, I'm sure someone can top that comment easily. I'm amazed at how hot-button this game became! It draws such strong reactions from just about everyone.

As a SEGA diehard, I can honestly say that I'm intrigued by this. Cautiously optimistic even. Sonic was a character that I loved as a kid, and hopefully today's kids will get the same enjoyment I had. I realize the design is not to everyone's taste, but if it gives Sonic a new lease on life, I'm all for it.

U.K. ISPs have acceded to calls to filter pornography and other objectionable content, placing it on new customers to opt out of filtering as of the beginning of the year. But a new bill is set to be discussed in committee, one which proposes Internet users opt-in to viewing adult content by proving they are over 18.

But a tribute to whom? Since we're talking Transformers, I'm thinking either Vince DiCola or Stan Bush.

Destruction Megan Fox sounds like either an electronica album, or a variant action figure.

I totally get this, but desktop computers may not be around forever. Microsoft is trying to anticipate, or at least keep up with the shift. It's going to be a colossal change to from what was their bread & butter for 30+ years.

oh, and being able to just start typing whenever and have a list pop up is so convenient. How did I ever get along without that feature? It's one of my most used & most favorite things about Windows 8.

I can see the appeal of the Start menu for those who have used it for years and years. The Start screen, however, retains that same functionality while adding so much more utility.

I'm certainly in agreement that there are aspects that definitely need some improvement. I just remind myself that we're only at 8.1, there is always room to grow in the future. I just hope they can sell people on the value of the new OS style, before we see it go away completely.

You make a really good argument as well. As far as the Xbox One, I'm all for more digital releases. I don't personally have one, and the 24-hour check-in would hurt me ( I live in the North East, so storms knock out the internet, etc), but I do respect that they were going to go in a new direction. That's neither…

Oh, how fun must that be? It does always seem to come down to money, doesn't it? My clinic is owned by a "corporate overlord,' so convincing them to do anything new is difficult, but not as fun as what you're dealing with.

Ouch, I can see how that set-up and 8.1 don't really mesh. That really sucks, because that sounds like a really fun way to play games on the pc.

boing!

Toughen them up? Fat chance! Ha!

You hit the nail on the head there, it really is just more efficient. I'm jealous that you get roll out the new stuff where you work, my office is achingly slow to implement new tech, even something like upgrading from XP to 7. I see so many instances where it's like "Man, if we had 8, I could just do this and it…

I loved that they kept the desktop background across the screens. I look at the Start screen as an overlay now, instead of a separate screen, and I think that is the easiest way to grasp it.

The improvements should justify it's existence, but sadly, this is not how it played out.

I'm with you! I have 7 at my clinic, but at home I use 8. 8 is way more easy to use and get around on. The ribbon menu on every new file explorer window is such an awesome feature, but so overlooked! I lament that it is not in 7 every time I have to use it.
