I don't even know what "the crew" is and don't really like the cars on top, but I dig this worn-out look on the front panel.

If his cupcakes are plastic props, too - he totally deserved an arrest!

You can't actually have a US PSN account if you don't enter a valid address. Or are they enforcing this more diligently for this settlement?

For some reasons these screens remind me of Daggerfall a lot.

But why is this a bad thing? Well, maybe for those succeptible to gambling addiction it is a threat, they can starve after spending all of their money ingame or something. But for 'normal' players gambling for cosmetic items is rather comfortable compared to 'energy' systems or 'pay-to-win' ones. And it must be rather…

You'd better avoid this, then. It's a trilogy with 3rd entry highly unlikely to be translated ever.

I first played Chrono Trigger when it was re-released for PS One in one of the Final Fantasy antologies along with FF IV. I liked it but wasn't exactly swayed by it. The reason was quite clear and definite, too: primitive leveling. For me, no kind of story can justify lack of extensive party customization in a JRPG.…

Yeah, this stuff is even more crazy than trophy hunting metagame. At least that one has formal rules.

US widely adopted cards long before most other countries. So when they invented new security measures they still had backwards compatibility. Countries who got into this later managed to phase less secure methods out. Something like that I guess

There's MasterCard PayPass. Visa also has something like that. They are pretty widespread. So far I could not understand the alledged convenience of touching a terminal in a coffee shop with my card compared to just sliding it. But they run promotions for PayPass users all the time and it does not add anything to the…

8 and 10(being more or less the same) are THE reasons why I haven't built a gaming PC since 2007. All my previous PCs were made from cheap and/or used parts, and even the used ones were last year's mid-range. I played Morrowind only looking under my feet in cities - otherwise framerate was too low. Stuff like that. It…

I have never played a game in which combat is so thunderous. It doesn't matter if you're ten minutes or ten hours into the game, whenever one of your characters throws a dude's face into the wall, or hits it with a baseball bat, or smashes a noodle joint sign over his head, you will wince. There's a combination of…

>because the PS4 library is already better than the Vita's

When I went under 10% myself, I liked my abs a lot, but my mom and co-workers started asking me if I was sick. Grandpa went so far as to suspect I got aids from my 'disgraceful' lifestyle(not sure what's so disgraceful about it, but he's used to be a colonel, so his standards are...different). One needs to have a…

I'm still kind of not convinced. I mostly play JRPGs and some semi-related Japanese games like Deadly Premonition or Okami with an occasional Western open-world game in between(Assassins' Creed, Just Cause etc). I like me some Nintendo goodness as much as the other guy, but I get enough of it on 3DS - and almost…

So working out just for the looks is basically useless. You won't have a six-pack when sitting in front of PC unless you have an unpractically low body fat % anyway. I have 14% myself which I consider pretty good and I just checked under my shirt - there's a round belly down there unless I stand up. And when you…

I'm not sure how retail can still be so big. People are well aware of digital software purchases thanks to smartphones. Also majority of people don't care about actually owning a game rather having some sort of indefinite rent. How come videogame retail hasn't yet shrinked to collectors' items outlet is beyond me.

Assassin's creed has had some Playstation exclusive missions for a while. 2 or 3 entries at least. Is there any evidence that it was somehow beneficial for Sony? I have some doubts. PS3 is my primary gaming platform and I didn't play these missions ever. Despite being a big AC fan prior to III.

Being a kid in the 90s I felt like gameboy was somewhat crappy compared to Sega Megadrive or, later, Playstation. Hell, probably even NES - Battletoads had color graphics and multiplayer. Some games were fun, but it lacked deeper genres like RPGs or strategy. Later I learned that there, in fact, were some of those,…

They do when you run them iside a designated virtual machine. That's how I view almost every website where I do not need to log in. If anyone would have told me about this only a couple of years ago, I would lough my ass off this paranoid.
