I'm very much against pirating. I work in the entertainment industry and I many of my friends do. Both video games and in film. I'm not one to judge and I completely understand what you're saying. But I just buy my video games because it's what I do. I also get to write off some of it in my taxes as research and…

Not a waste of time. I work in the entertainment industry. People choose to do things for more than money.

Honestly I've never heard of Crush the Castle but I just looked it up and you're right, it did come before Angry Birds and has a very similar play style. Obviously the mechanics aren't new, but you have to admit they created characters and iconic sounds and music that makes it what it is. Nothing is 100% original but…

Who ripped off what from a flash game?

Good advice but I feel like I've been doing this and I still live paycheck to paycheck. I hate making excuses but it has been difficult as hell to get out of this hole. I have almost $7,000 in credit card debt, but I think I'd be more depressed if I wasn't spending and literally sitting at home in the dark wondering…

I got bored of Angry Birds after the second one. The original is brilliant overall, and people forget that it was one of the first to do mobile gaming that exceptionally well. Plus, their sales are over the top (That's me being jealous I didn't think of the damn idea).

Thank you! I think I'm pretty technical minded but I have definitely taken videos this way. I don't hold my phone in landscape for anything else but video and pictures. And thanks to the iPhone, I just plain forget to rotate it.

My GF is a manager at Homegoods which is basically a discount store (Part of TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc) and people always ask her "There's a scuff on this, can you give me 10% off?" or "Can you do any better on the price?"

Yeah, of course they'd give a discount, also. I never said they wouldn't. But this is about the platform. For some reason people think because the iPads are "expensive" that they're luxury items and toys that shouldn't be for school kids but I disagree. It has tons of great content that I don't think Amazon could…

I've been working so much that I just barely finished the campaign. I tried the online maybe 3 times this week and every time I encountered one of the bugs above within just 15-20 minutes of playing. Every time I finished a job I would just load forever or just hang. Can't wait to play it now that it's working!…

Why respond if you didn't even read my point? I'll summarize:

The iPads don't cost the school $700. Apple has great deals for education. The budget may allow that much for computers anyway so if the cost reduces the need to have a dedicated computer classroom (Aside from, let's say, a library) and reduces the need for large lockers, I think it's a win for most schools. This may…

I have no problem with iPads being in schools. I think the technology is a great addition to the typical computer in the classroom. But my question is... Why the hell wasn't this thing password encrypted? Correct me if I am wrong, but there is a setting that allows you to restrict what you can download, what you can…

I know it may be obvious, but have you updated your drivers? It wasn't exactly working correctly for me, and I'd get stuck loading every now and then, when it did load the frame rate was horrendous. I downloaded the 13.10 beta 2 drivers for my AMD card and it works like a charm now. I guess during a beta there will…

That's actually really cool but seems difficult as shit to fold that, I'm terrible at folding shirts. Given that, anytime I go to a department store, I find myself cleaning up more and fixing things than actually looking through clothes and making purchases.

I do the same, but the thing that annoys me is because I already have two monitors, when I do HDMI out to my TV I have to always have to do an "exchange" or "disable" display so I'm constantly unplugging and replugging in the HDMI cable so things show up on the right monitor. I guess there's software to do that or a…

That's true. Well, let's hope that in the final version these kinds of tweaks take place and hopefully it will integrate nicely and easily. I wouldn't mind it, I just assumed they had a reason for not doing so since they don't really seem to be the lazy developer type :P

Looks like my college dorm room but with 2 people! And I guess our shower and toilet wasn't in the same room... but still!

I played 3 full matches yesterday with different servers (Westcoast and one midwest) and one of them "closed" at the end of a match but overall it seemed okay. It a little bit of a lag but that was to be expected. Given how stable BF3 was I can imagine once the beta is over it will be rock solid (For the most part).

I agree, though I think disrupting the flow of gameplay might be a little too much (As I'm sure it was considered). If they added a switch to servers it might be a cool option but I'm sure coding is a bit more difficult, haha.
