At a certain point it becomes just too complex. A lot of it may be marketing bullshit, but when the games are as complex as they are now, they'll always be able to improve things and not be able to address everything in one year, every year.

Summed up: "This genre is not one I'm into! Therefore it should not exist!"

Everyone should know how to jump a car and change a tire if they are driving around. I think it should be in the driver's tests actually.

I worry this is the type of thing where people that know you should have this stuff already have it, and those that don't won't bother until something happens and they're pretty inconvenienced.

Especially given the focus on fantasy football and essentially being able to follow games with friends remotely.

I know where that belongs...

Don't get me wrong some printers are crap, but there are some decent ones under $150-200, especially on sale.

There's definitely a point there, and as a graphic designer I cannot stand designers that put form over function. No matter how aesthetically pleasing something might be, if it doesn't achieve what it was intended to achieve, or solve the "problem" it was attempting to solve, then it's irrelevant, because it failed.

That's not universally the case.

Any printer really can work. It's more about the paper.

At least it's not as bad as movie marketing.

You'd be surprised how the ink and production costs for printing double-sided unnecessarily would add up. Even shipping might increase when shipping millions of copies. Believe it or not, that would add weight.

Assuming you're in the US, at least you're not a significantly smaller market with a bilingual requirement like here in Canada.

Most of it is just the same old exploiting early adopters and die hards.

I'm definitely surprised with the amount of coverage Kojima gets. It seems like he pops up, at least on Kotaku, at least every couple weeks.

There's two sides to that though. One is "fighting" for something that doesn't at all affect me, since no matter what system I have I'll have the premium service. The alternative is not getting a new console. I get that protest like that is all about numbers, but you also have to be realistic. Protesting a CoD game by…

When it's something you have to fight with, and it really feels like a life or death thing, that's when I think they're getting into the real spirit of what it'd be like to climb something like that.

Even if you don't play multiplayer 90% of the time, you still are 10% of the time, which would mean you'd have Gold or PS Plus anyway, since both will be required for online play on both next gen systems.

The only issue I have with it is when it's just too "convenient."

Since I currently have a 360 I'd probably be leaning towards an Xbox One, but luckily I'm more interested in GTAV and a new NHL than anything on either new console so there's no short-term interest in upgrading beyond just having the shiny new thing.
