Actually it's usually much more a case of "didn't have enough time to make them skippable" rather than "intentionally wanted to force you to watch them".

I love the idea of games being "episodic" and doing the bookended "previously on" segments when booting them up...

It's pretty surprising how many of these blatant copyright violations make it through the app store approval process. I've seen many versions of SMB (which for obvious reasons will never legitimately be released on the app store) and they didn't even claim to be coming from Nintendo.

Sorry, http://but...no.

Some of us already have PSP but don't want to have to keep it around with a Vita. If we get a Vita, which can play all PSP games (lack of UMD notwithstanding) why should we have to either buy those games again or keep the old PSP around just to play them, when our newer, cleaner, faster, better system can also play…

Aaaaand these companies still wonder why game/movie/music piracy is such a huge problem.

HOLY HELL THIS IS AWESOME!

Here's my quotes for a possible T Schaefer meme

Yeah, well some of us would gladly massage the terrible pain out of her back ;)

I think the 555m is part of the blame for the sluggish performance - I had my brother buy a Core i5 lappy with a 555m and my 2 year old Asus with a slower Core i5 and a 360m outperforms it in Skyrim (not by *too* much, but enough that he has to notch his settings lower).

I think what a lot of people in the US don't realize is that The Daily Mail is a complete absurdity - it's the print equivalent of Fox News and The Weekly World News. It's stories are all designed for maximum shock/believability value, regardless of veracity of the content.

I'm pretty sure hitting the frontpage of Reddit and being mentioned in Kotaku are both going to drastically increase their sales numbers from what they would have been. It's a shame they aren't taking preorders, this would have massively boosted their numbers.

Sharing digital content is pretty simple - just build a system where you're allowed to "give" or "loan" your license to a piece of content to someone else.

"Makes perfect sense" implies that it makes sense to us the consumers as well, so I find the headline here a bit misleading.

It does also come with an 8gb card. As for a lot of the apps not running off SD card - that's actually not true, I have yet to find a single game that doesn't handle moving to the SD card just fine. Some of the system apps (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter) can be moved to SD but their widgets don't work (this is an Android…

Its games like this that make me wonder why the Xperia Play wasn't more successful. There are tons of games of this variety that are just begging for physical controls, yet nobody bothers to put support for it in their games, and half of them don't even make it to Android in the first place.

This would be awesome if I got a free version of the avatar shirt when I bought the real shirt.

True. I gotta admit though - they really do it better. They take these ideas that truly are revolutionary (multitouch, mp3 players, etc) but are languishing in obscurity and they show the world what you can actually do with them.

Oh totally - I never said that Apple's multitouch trackpads weren't better. They are: by a MILE. I've owned several Macbooks (and loved them) and multitouch was a hundred times superior on them to my current (Asus) laptop.

Sorry, it wasn't Synaptics that invented multitouch, it was Elan. Still not Apple.
