And Wii U has an RFID reader built into the controller - it might be coming. (said with a mixture of shuddering fear and kind of wishing I was a child again)

I'm not sure.

The PS3 had a horrible launch year, but it wasn't getting two more powerful competitors at the end of that horrible year either. I think Nintendo will be fine, but the Wii U could be a short lived system.

Not sure of his living arrangements now that Peter Parker is dead and Doctor Octopus has taken over his body, but the think tank in question was one of those ones that will only ever pop up in comic books. During his time there Peter invented a pair of headphones with extremely advanced tech. He got royalties off…

...I would not say that. Material costs are still a factor.

And there was me hoping for a Preston E. Downes story.

Jazz the Jackrabbit also features many guns and explosions lol

I wanna go on record, I was the first prominent game developer that had Fish's back.

Most reviewers have a bad habit of reviewing games based on the initial visceral reaction rather than the critical merit of a game. It renders most game reviews rather useless, and it's part of the reason that audiences so greatly diverge from reviewers on games with deep gameplay (such as SimCity) but often agree…

Link: Zelda. Zelda! ZELDAAAAAAAAAAAA!

That was racist? Wow. I thought it was a commentary and opinion.

This makes absolutely no sense at all. Just because you're developing games doesn't mean you should have to put up with self entitled twats like Beer.

Yes, because developing games means you are literally required to be insulted, mocked and treated like trash on a daily basis like Phil is.

It's a great acting role for a great character actor. And the show is hardly trashy.

That's where they put the Cloud.

Wouldn't be the first time:

I see this as similar to unpaid internships and student athletes. Sure, here you pay to work and there you don't pay or get paid, but here you can't mess it up and there you can fail (not get your internship counted in your program due to poor performance or not become a professional athlete which is the majority).

When I'm giving someone money, I don't want to hear the phrase "like" in the description. An event "like" e3, PAX, or GDC? How much "like" one of those? Is it one of those? If it were any of those, wouldn't they have said "At e3, PAX, or GDC. Your choice!"?

Are you going to pay $5k to demo the game at The…

Yes, the demo tier is far more offensive IMO. But I hate the idea that someone should pay for the privilege to design content for a game. It devalues the hard work of actual game designers, who should be paid well for what they do.
