There is almost never a good reason to hit “reply all.”

When’s the last time you used Windows on a tablet? Windows 8 did touch decently well, with some minor quibbles. Windows 10 has improved upon it almost universally, and is just as easy to use as an iOS or Android device in touch mode.

Can the Iranians really be blamed for investigating the circumstances surrounding the intrusion? Hardly, we would have done the same.

There are also those like me, who preordered because it’s literally free until at least mid March. At this point, after watching the train wreck, I don’t plan to keep my preorder, but I’m holding on to it in case they announce something like a free set of Touch controllers for first batch preorders. If they don’t…

What gets me is, that even after all of this, they’re still not going to announce the price range of the Touch controllers. They want people to shell out $600, and then shell out an unnamed sum at a later date for the full experience. If the Rift+Touch is out of people’s range, then they don’t care.

Not bogus at all. I built a PC over the winter holidays, with an i5-6600k, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and an R9 390, for about $900.

$100 off an Apple device this early in its lifecycle? Is the Apple Watch really doing that poorly?

Don’t many small animals have issues with chocolate? Maybe this trash panda just really likes citrus.

While I don’t disagree with you, your statements aren’t the whole story. First of all, medium settings on PC for Witcher 3 still puts it on par or better than consoles, depending on which settings you tweak. Secondly, most people like to play online. If you factor in the cost of PS+ or Live, at $50 per year, you need…

I get that Inside Out was popular, but it just didn’t click to me. To me, it felt less like a story, an entertaining movie, and more of an attempt by the filmmakers to see how clever they could be, how well they could represent the inside of a developing child’s mind with 5 emotions. There were some very cool…

For sure. The first 5 episodes were pretty much a slow burn up into the actual conflict, an extended intro if you will. Once it got going with the actual plot instead of just exploring aspects of JJ’s trauma, it really picked up.

I’d amend your statement to something like “consoles make a better choice for budget gamers who don’t want to play online”, because once you factor in the cost of Live/PS+, it’s no longer a budget machine.

And that aspect is usually blown way out of proportion. Nowadays, “a bit of personal investments” translates to “what wallpaper do I want to use”. After building my most recent PC (which took about 3 hours, and that mainly because I had some water cooling setup to do), it booted up on the first try, I installed…

My kids are currently too young for gaming (just turned 3, and 9 months old), but I can’t wait to get a Nintendo NX and help give them fond memories of playing video games with parents while growing up.

If you build a PC that’s at least $700-$800, the situation you describe won’t happen. I built a $900 PC 9 years ago, upgraded the GPU 4 years ago for $150, and I was able to play Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 at medium settings. Think about that. A 9 year old PC with a $150 upgrade 5 years later is still able to play this…

PS: You can connect any remotely recent PC to any remotely recent TV, and you can use a controller for almost any game out right now. It’s like owning a console, that you can upgrade piecemeal, and use for more than just gaming (media center box?).

For myself, I built myself a PC 9 years ago (only $900) that I used for games, even the newest releases, up until Black Friday this year. I also concurrently owned a PS3 and an Xbox360. After gaming heavily on all 3 for years, I grew up (*sob*) and had kids, and this time around, didn’t buy any of the consoles.…

For building a PC, there are tons of guides to walk you through every aspect, and PCPartPicker is an invaluable asset to check for parts compatibility. There are also curated “builds” that list every element you need to buy to make a PC, as well as the prices. It’s as simple as browsing http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/…

Because the default UI color for the normal selection items is green. They need SOME way to denote that it’s a skill check.

I’ve got a release-day Chromecast 1 sitting in the box that came with free Netflix. Maybe it’s time to break that out for free $20...
