Oh wow. That's good.

Honestly, the only place the first Kinect really excelled was on the PC. You could hack one and use an arduino or something to make sorts of crazy shit. People were running it through processing and similar stuff to do some reaaaaally cool stuff.

I love the vague but not really descriptions they always put for games on the Gold Box stuff. Whoever did this one today was either just really tired or a minimalist auteur capable of distilling the complexity of video games down to their base element:

Yeah, that's interesting. I think that might be a scenario where the "win-lose" aspect is just folded away into the game. It's never really about winning/losing per say (in a strict sense) because you inevitably have to do lots of one in order to do the other. The aspect of "losing" just becomes a condition of running…

I think this is actually a pretty great point particularly in light of the recent discussion of "what is a game" which has resulted in people using the existence of a "fail state" as their definition. On one hand, that's certainly an understandable working definition of what makes a "game," but I think it also shows…

Should be noted this is basically how movie distribution works. Labels like Criterion pay for the rights to publish the film titles (sometimes in cases where no one else would publish it) and, in turn, get to profit off the release while also helping sustain the film world with classics and hidden gems that might be…

Yup. Nintendo also has their own FAQ on it: http://www.nintendo.com/corp/legal.jsp…

Have they confirmed they'll make a version for the Ouya though?

Depending on how much work you want to put into it, you can just build a Raspberry Pi to emulate that stuff. Works really well.

Ha, it's like a boy band thing that's huge. It's better not to know.

I don't think it's anymore damaging than the 'One Direction' image/meme floating around. That one was truly an "Ah, shit." for me.

The guy on the right in that magazine just looks like an Asian Keith Urban to me.

I thought that was what is was going to be as I was scrolling down. Just future Gabe carrying a crowbar.

So how am I supposed to even believe this DRM reversal doesn't come with some sort of crazy catch they just haven't mentioned yet?

Social networking seems so damn stressful these days. Everyone's always getting mad at someone for something.

Yeah this has always been one of my favorites.

Oh yeah, some of them are definitely real. I think there's some people showing off their photoshop skills mixed in there. And then, like you pointed out, there's some stuff where I have no idea what's going on.

Some of those aren't real. I know the Jennifer Lawrence one was going around originally as a "What Jennifer Lawrence would look like photoshopped!" gif. The "heavier" photograph is the one that was ran.

Yeah, I really want to. I was just waiting to see if that PSN version was ever going to come out.

Why not just fold this into the existing Instant Game Collection on PS Plus? This seems like the future of it and was the direction I imagined PS+ going after they first announced the Gaikai thing. Rather than have the slightly cumbersome system of downloading to play, you're just able to stream it.

Something that…
