From Kotaku's reviews and other Borderlands 2-related articles, it sounds like one really needs to play co-op to fully enjoy the game. I've got a decent PC that could easily handle this game, but all my friends will be experiencing it on PS3. Is the graphical upgrade worth being stuck playing solo/online with…

Yeah, I think the headline is a bit misleading in that respect. It simply says it's for any death that can be "tied back to Walter White." Which in this case apparently means dying in the show is enough to connect you to WW.

MLB.TV also falls under the category of requiring payment to a 3rd party provider (and is available on both PSN and XBL), but is not struck-through as Netflix is on your list of "Xbox Live Gold minus Free PSN Features".

If you want cheap, I'd say try Amazon. Trades are generally marked down 20-50% off the cover price.

@Shemhazaix300: That's only true if you use a single camera. Two or more cameras capable of communicating with each other would be able to pretty easily plot things in three dimensions.

For those of you interested in actually working to solve some of these scientific problems more actively, I would highly recommend Foldit:

@Paul_Is_Drunk: That's hardly fair. A lot of people have already passed judgement on a game that's only been out for a month and a half. Sure, the most recent patch created about as many bugs as it fixed, but there's still a reasonable amount of hope that Civ 5 can become another Civ4:BTS 3-4 years from now.

@LoungeDinosaurian, it's a LOVE RƎVO˩UTION!: DAMN good coffee! And hot!

Last April I saw one of Riehle's grad students give a talk on what they're doing to try accomplish the third step. It seems that enhanced akt signaling isn't sufficient to impart a significant advantage over wild populations (at least based on preliminary lab results). So now they're trying to genetically modify…

@ChewyChavezIII: Schilling still is a douchebag. And this coming from a Sox fan...

@gblock: I was thinking exactly the same thing. On one hand I do tend to enjoy the anonymity that goes along with having a unique username. At the same time though, I'm not one to abuse that privilege by spewing slander and making wholly inappropriate comments.

@iamspoo: Yeah, I was pretty irritated when Hulu started limiting available episodes to the 5 most recent, and it's clear they only started doing that in order to set up for paid content. The extra commercial I can live with since it's still 3-4 fewer per break than one has to deal with during a broadcast.

I fail to see why everyone is so up in arms over having to pay for Hulu Plus. Not only does this get you HD content (which is unattainable by streaming from PC to console), but you get access to tons of episodes you couldn't otherwise stream. Hulu is currently only allowing the most recently aired episodes of most…

@Everyone likes me, even the Danish: Actually, González didn't write "Heartbeats" at all. It's a cover of a song written by The Knife. Dude's sure got a flair for turning awesome electronic tunes into beautiful acoustic ballads (see also Massive Attack's "Teardrop"). As great as the original is, I think I prefer…

@Sickofitall: In theory, all 2430 regular season games are available. Unless you live "in market" for a particular team. I live in Arizona which means I can't watch Diamondback games, but they also include us in the market for San Diego so I can't watch them either. The MLB website makes this determination based on…

The most recent update of PlayOn has allowed PS3 (and 360) owners to do this since the beginning of the season. Since I no longer pay for cable in any form, $100 for 6 months of watching my favorite sport EVERY DAY is totally worth it. Streaming video directly to the PS3 should lead to significantly better quality…
