While I agree that that is more effective, "buying" legendaries isn't fun for a lot people. Or at least isn't for me. They need something like Diablo's loot timer that increases your chance of finding legendaries if you've gone longer than X hours of playtime without finding something good.

Most Razer products are stylish. But they're a very different style than Corsair typically uses. Corsair has always seemed to me to be more understated. Bentley vs Lamborghini sort of thing.

People don't generally buy Razer's products for their classy design.

Wikipedia would be pretty awesome. Even without a local copy, it'd be nice to have it as a built in "app" that could be launched from the home screen.

Just sold my Gen 1 Paperwhite and got a waterproofed Gen 2 Paperwhite instead. I love it. At this point I only see myself upgrading to something new if they introduce a color e-ink display. What I have right now is more perfect that I could have ever imagined as a kid.

Didn't Notch say awhile ago that he doesn't consider Mojang to be indie? It doesn't seem very "indie" when you can go into a target and buy a bunch of Minecraft crap. 50 million sales on half a dozen platforms. Mojang may not have had many employees, but they haven't been indie for awhile now. The problems they face…

Ya I wrote that comment a year ago. Nowadays I think I'd be willing to put up with perhaps 48 hours of battery life. There are definitely some cool features, but it has to last longer than my cellphone does.

Yep. Just turning up the graphics slider isn't "next gen" to me. Stuff like larger worlds, fewer loading screens, lots of physics, better AI. All that tends to get scrapped or gimped when they cater to low end systems.

Because when you have a budget the first things that are going to get cut are the things that only work on certain platforms. The game will be distilled down to the core features that work on both old-gen and current-gen. Certain upgrades are easy to make (hi-res textures), but others require more invasive support…

My companies stock is currently down quite a bit because we didn't meet investor expectations. Despite the fact that we made our own predictions and even exceeded them, all the investors had this crazy idea that we could do miracles are something.

Wasn't aware that anyone was paying to lock Civ V or Dota 2 to PC. Certain games don't work on consoles (or at least haven't been properly adapted yet). This is not the same thing as "exclusive" in this context.

They understand pretty well, they just aren't after the same goals. Their job is to advise companies on how to make the most amount of money possible in the shortest amount of time. They really don't care about sustainability or customer good will. Their only job is to make money for investors and investors don't like…

People got pretty heated during the Destiny Beta. Gamers are gamers no matter their hardware.

pricing and value are always relative. Compared to the competition amazon is offering less for the same price. Either they can offer more or cut the price to increase their perceived value.

its been awhile since I've used shapeways, but I believe the price based mostly on the amount of material used. Which makes it somewhat prohibitively expensive for even basic pieces. Printing a knob could very well cost quite a bit depending on its size. 3D printing unfortunately isn't quite ready for that sort of…

Is this really considered a secret? Perhaps other ISPs are more shady about it, but it's literally the first item listed on Comcast's Internet plans page:

I think I'd just say it was classified and imply that I was in the army or something. Hopefully they're less likely to raise a fuss for something they think is serving our country.

Honestly I end up turning a lot of these features off when I'm actually playing. Stuff like depth of field can get really annoying when you're moving around and fighting things. And you lose quite a bit of the "wow factor" anyway when stuff is moving, especially people. No amount of animation mods will fix Bethesda's…

I won't deny that Kansas is boring, but this is a pretty new park without a lot of built up decoration and it seems like the grounds around the ride haven't been finished yet.

I for one am excited to move beyond the age of painted on or oddly stiff hair. While you may successfully argue that graphics have reached a level satisfactory for most, hair and cloth lag far behind almost every other aspect of graphics. It is really the last bastion of achieving truly amazing graphics IMO.
