I wouldn't quite go and call it scientific yet. Where's the control group? I think they should have drove the package around town and delivered it to themselves as well to find out what normal behavior should look like. Though I agree, FedEx is brutal.

I hope this is not true, as I have not been in a Game Chat session on COD4 or WAW that has not ended in some kid cussing his mom out who is turning off his XBox or degrades into elementary school name calling. This honestly would ruin the game for me. I ensure I play in a Party of 1 when I play without my friends to…

Bed gets packed and moved first, I don't need it. Games are packed last, and unpacked first (after bed). Usually moved bed a few days before.

If only the kindle 2 had some sort of Teddy Ruxpin attachment... I remember putting in KISS, and AC/DC into Teddy Ruxpin... he was a true rockstar.

Working on my Ph.D. and I have thus far secured $98k in loans. I wonder if I can create a house to live in out of the promissory notices? 1-2 more years :(

Wow... a magazine with a racial slur on the front... Bashcraft and the rest of Japan will not be happy. I would take down the picture imho.

I'd pay $30 a month if they had a system to keep spammers and immature users off the servers.

@Thrillkiller: I'm curious what qualms you have with the game and if you only tried PVP. I know a lot of people love PVP, but there are too many adolescent men there for my tastes. My PVE server seems great.

I think the real reason they suggest that is because the game is 27GB! It took 2 hours just to install and unpack from the DL discs, then another 1.5 hours to update at 600kb/s. However the buddy codes are included in all versions of the game, you just have to go to your account to get the code. Except that they…

I've already promised my wife when we have kids, that I will begin reading books to the baby while still in the womb. Great stuff, glad everything is going well.

We all know though that MicroSoft has been working on the next Xbox. However how far along the project is, release schedule, etc is all very far off. I would like to purchase and Xbox 360, however I am constantly afraid of it going out quickly. I'm assuming they do DL DVD, so still a fair amount of game can be…

@Candlejack: Cave Story, nuff said.

I don't know what he means about Twats in the general chat. Maybe because I'm playing on a PvE server, but I'm assuming the M rated game is keeping a lot of piss ant youths out. I'm finding it fairly fun since you can actually solo and it feels challenging. Level 35 now. I have not had the first rant of Balls of…

Grats Spoony Bard!

I do wish though that Kotaku had some sort of Commenter Review Board. Where Commenters are selected by the masses that they feel would give an accurate mini-review or gauge of a game. Then they could give us an idea if it would be something worth playing ourselves and avoid the "uninformed review rant" syndrome…

I just started the game despite many Kotaku Commenter comments and bad reviews. The good reviews I have seen have been more detailed than the bad. So far I like it, but I am only level 7. However with updates twice a week, I think they will pay close attention to the users.

I hope they eventually make this standard in new Wii-motes. However I can only imagine the nightmare of non-gamer/tech Wii owners who will find out they cannot play a game or are frustrated with inferior tracking and do not know they need this accessory. Or the people that will end up buying the wrong product since…

I cannot help but wonder how the market influences this as well. Being in IT, I cannot find anyone selling a hard drive with less than 80GB. So all my machines that only need 10GB max, have huge amounts of storage.
