I do believe, at least on consoles, the two main things that separate them apart from their prior "generation" predecessors is lighting and that obsessive detail you mentioned. One recent example of this is Just Cause 3, where everything looks exactly like a 360/ps3 game, but the detail of explosions and destruction…

I'm secretly hoping this game is all about the life of Red Green's Ranger Gord.

"I'm sure that having the Seahawks child being a crying baby was a pointed attempt at saying all us Seahawks fans are crybabies."

I couldn't tell for sure, but didn't the intestine dude try to line up for the women's restroom? What's the gender of that intestine monster?

Lynch advertises for a local plumbing company. He's getting shit on for the sweet money.

I wish I had just left off somewhere near the end of Far Cry 4 instead of actually completing it. The last 3-4 missions were so terrible that it spoiled every other part of the game for me

I have found that sitting on one of those big exercise balls helps a LOT for my issues. They're pretty cheap for a chair, so you may consider that if you haven't already.

I've been dealing with sciatica-like issues (not sure what is truly sciatica, I have pinched discs and nerves) for 10 years or so but hypochondria runs in my family and I'm almost certain that every flare up is a blood clot and I'm on my way to an early grave. Sitting for extended periods of time seems like a way to…

Oddly enough, I may actually play Madden 16 this weekend. It just went into the EA Access vault so I can get it for "free". I'm too terrible at Madden games to even consider paying for them but last year I got Madden 15 for free (in a bundle) and I managed to find a mode in it I really enjoyed.

My highschool's woodshop had a TV set up to a player that took these huge LP sized magnetic discs that had a bunch of Ford sponsored lessons on how to fix the carburetor of your 1979 Pinto and such. But it also had Ford Presents FMV Golf which was a game where you picked a hit strength of 1-4 on a remote and then it…

so thats a no?

Is it just me or is anyone else having the link to the frinkiac causing a download?

They should just wire the AV Club search box to the Frinkiac.

My baseline research has shown that the T-bolt 3 (usb type c) has a 40 Gbps transmission rate. I'm not too current on all the different interface types, but is assume a PCIe card right in the motherboard still transmits faster. There's not much out there on the Tbolt 3 interface, but I wonder if you'll get what you…

Don't forget VR! I'll never play on my couch again!

On the subject of building gaming pc's I've been very interested in the future of external GPU "boxes". My friend showed me this nice little customizable form factor called the Intel NUC and I was immediately interested as I don't want a huge tower case. Problem is, it uses integrated video. I saw that a company…

"It feels unfair at times, but it’s actually the opposite"

Even the guy talking about how much he likes dogs ears gets old.

I'd think it may be hard to feel anything toward the soldiers in your base as they're basically slaves. Whatever pang of humanity you feel as they keel over must be weighed against the fact that you abducted them and are often given a chance to beat them up, no questions asked.

I remember it feeling…frictionless while the shooting felt delayed, in particular. Going from something that just runs perfectly to something less so can be jarring. It's sorta like when you played Super Mario Bros 3 and then pop in the original NES TMNT game.
