The real reason is that the only way to curtail these issues is by adding more servers. The problem with that is, if you launch an MMO with enough servers to avoid these launch issues, you end up with a large number of unused servers once the new game rush wears off and people stop logging in as much, and fewer and…

Agree. He should have been carrying around (or pulling) a glowing green pig instead.

Sounds like you're one of the people this comic is lambasting. Figures you'd miss the point.

Sorry I wasn't clear, he's not a tortoiseshell. I was just saying that my non-tortie cat is just as dumb as tortiescan be.

Because none of those advantages directly affected/benefited end users. They were all for developers/publishers, and as you said yourself, they MAY have resulted in interesting games. They COULD HAVE helped studios make innovative games. Or, they may have resulted in stupid games. Also, it's funny that you think that…

What made it truly next-gen? The stupid demo-sharing feature, at the cost of being able to share discs? The always-on-always-connected Kinect, at the cost of whatever the hell Microsoft chose to do with the information it gathered while sitting there? Remember, MS filed a patent on charging for a movie rental per…

I think they'd be more like Protoss, since the Kaiju are porting in from another dimension, and the Protoss rely on stronger single units rather than swarms of weaklings.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Should companies just stop making stuff that the poorest people can't afford? By definition, a video game is a luxury item. You might have a point if we were talking about, say, food, but not a complete 100% luxury item that no one HAS to have to survive.

Just remember that $150-$200 is just the start. Wait till Disney releases all the Marvel characters, then the Star Wars characters, and I wouldn't be surprised if you end up spending upwards of a couple grand.

Easier is subjective. It's easier for you maybe because you're not as proficient at using chopsticks, but picking up pasta is definitely easier for me with chopsticks than with a fork alone or a fork and spoon combo. No twirling required, and no pasta slithering off your fork as you try to bring it to your mouth.

A) Typically the skin is extremely thin except at the very top, so that trying to pick it up with a fork at the bottom would puncture the skin and cause the soup from the inside to just leak out, hence ruining half the taste of the dish.

Typically you're not supposed to restore system apps or settings, but most anything else is fair game. To be even safer, you can use the Android built-in restore function where it redownloads all the apps you had installed, and then restore the data for those so you avoid some rare conflicts.

I'd love LOVE to see you try to eat xialongbao (google it) with a fork. You might be able to make it work, but you'd ruin 50% of the taste of the food in the process.

Better question would be: What if Sonic fought The Flash?

3/7 is little?

You also forget Eve Online. Still sub-based.

Honestly, he must be talking from personal experience when he says gamers are stupid. That's the only reason I can think of.

Instead of acting like a spoiled child, why not look at an existing market that acts exactly as the console market would have for Xbox One. Digital copy on pc acts 100% exactly the same as a physical copy, and yet still do not compete in price.

On PC, the physical does act the same as digital, but they still don't compete with each other directly. Why would Xbox be any different, when you have no competition in the digital marketplace?

Innovation does not have to come at the cost of your rights as a gamer and consumer.
