No, you did the division backwards, and so did Mike.

Damnit, nevermind. You're right :)

He's saying he played 100 games and spent a grand total of $40 altogether. Not $40 on each game. 100/$40 = $2.50 per game.

I don't agree with that assessment. The guy at Virginia Tech put chains on all the doors of the building, and walked around with a fully automatic rifle and systematically executed everyone he saw. He planned it out thoroughly ahead and of time and set it up so that his victims were sitting ducks without a chance.…

I completely agree that the mobile market is 98% shovelware. No two ways about it. However, what Luke is reporting on is something different. Basically, the app store is setup so that if your app is not in one of the top X lists that shows up on the app home page, nobody will ever see your app. Big publishers…

Ok, I agree that artists and designers have a much tougher time than engineers. However, from this article, it sounds like people basically post a job where they want somebody to take an already existing game, reverse engineer it, and then write their own source code from scratch that perfectly replicates the…

You must be joking, right? There may be plenty of people without work, barely scraping by, but software engineers are not in that category (I know, I'm one of them). Forbes ranked software engineering in their top 12 list for best career fields of 2014: http://www.forbes.com/pictures/efkk4…

He was the technical director of id. His job was to oversee the tech. If you don't like the way the games were designed in terms of level layout and mechanics, that's not his fault. That's on the game designers. He's not a game designer and never was.

The part of this that we didn't know is that Zenimax has no interest in VR. What we didn't know is that Carmack wanted a partnership between id and Occulus to show off Doom 4 as the first fully supported AAA Occulus game, but Zenimax wouldn't go for that idea. That's the tidbits of this whole thing that we didn't…

Ok, then let me explain it another way. If I'm a billionaire, then to me the difference between a $200k house and a $300k house is basically nothing. If I only make $50k/year, then that difference is huge. It's all relative.

It's all about relativity. If you drive a Ferrari, then from your perspective a Toyota Prius and a Hyundai Sonata have basically the same power. If you are a Prius or Sonata owner, then the difference between the 2 are more apparent to you.

There's a difference between sitting your child down to ask what is up, and actually seeking professional help because you think your kid might be a sociopath. I think most parents are ill-equipped to handle a child like Dexter. Sitting your kid down for a chat to ask them what's up only works for normal kids. If…

Well, even beyond that. Put yourself in that parent's shoes. You have a suspicion that something isn't quite right about your child, but so far your child hasn't done anything concrete, so it's nothing more than a suspicion at this point.

There's also the possibility that no matter what the parents taught the kid, he still would have done this anyway. It's possible he's simply a sociopath who has impulses to do repulsive things. Yes, those people actually exist.

So when did rape go from being the act of a monstrous lunatic to being a "dumb thing"?

Your last sentence isn't entirely accurate. I agree that parents have a huge effect on how their kids turn out. However, recent research shows that sociopaths have brains that are physically wired differently from a regular person. When a normal person sees a horrific picture, the part of the brain associated…

This is a direct quote from the article above:

I'm not an Apple fanboy, but your statement misses the bigger picture. When you purchase an Apple device, you are paying for the streamlined, highly polished and sensible user experience that Apple products typically have.

Nintendo is trying to make decisions for the long haul. The newer game markets are less solidified and a new market that is hugely popular today may die off tomorrow (like what happened with Facebook games).

Well, I'm not much of a Jeopardy! fan, but I think the reason people are irritated with this guy is because people want the person who actually has the most trivia knowledge to win the game. This guy has gamed the game so that he is likely to win even if his opponent is more knowledgeable than him. He's not breaking…
