I agree. I don’t expect it to have a touchscreen for the reason you mentioned. The experience has to be the same whether you’re playing it on your TV at home or on the portable unit while on the go, so touchscreen functionality on the portable unit would only be good for menu navigation and maybe playback controls for…

The specs are unknown for right now. Actually, the only thing we know beyond what we’ve seen in the trailer is that it’s powerful enough to support Unreal Engine 4.

I’ve thought for a long time that in order for VR to be wildly successful, $300 has to be the high end on pricing. Now if we had a standalone VR console, that would be different. $800 would absolutely make sense for a Vive if you could play games on it without needing to own a decently powerful PC on top of it. But as…

Maybe that’s why I never got back into anime after the mid-2000s. The last new one I was really into was Black Lagoon. That series had some of the best character development I’ve seen in anime, especially when it came to the main character Rock.

I think you may have accidentally replied to me when you meant to reply to Cecilia. Just wanted to let you know.

Actually, her gender is revealed in episode 4 during her origin story. She’s shown as a little girl with long hair and a dress. Besides that, she’s played in the English dub (the only version I watch) by Kelli Cousins, a woman whose voice is unmistakably womanly. So at least in the English dub, Kino sounds like a…

It looks like you meant to reply to Cecilia and accidentally replied to me. Just letting you know.

If you want to watch an anime that really treats female characters with dignity and respect, watch Kino’s Journey (a 13-episode series). The main character is a traveler named Kino. She’s on a journey through a fictional world that resembles earth. She’s confident and strong without being over-the-top (her…

Same here. I have the game, and it is indeed more of the same (from what I’ve played so far). But that’s not a bad thing at all.

Hey, I’ll gladly take it. That makes the second free copy I’ve gotten in a matter of weeks (first was the Xbox 360 HD version through Games With Gold).

Oh man do I have stuff to play. I’ll probably be playing the Outlast 2 demo and Sister Location really soon, and I’ll be picking up the Ultimate Edition of Gears of War 4 tonight.

I’m in my mid-30s, and as of tomorrow I’ll officially be in my mider-30s.

The good news is that the Xbox One version looks pretty fantastic. If you don’t mind playing the campaign and horde modes at 30 fps, you’re good to go. (And competitive multiplayer runs at 60 fps.)

I ended up returning my Gear VR because of the radiation. During extended periods of use, I could feel it. And I even had a lingering after effect (my head felt funny) after I took it off. I imagine this was all coming from my phone (Galaxy S6 Edge) which is probably not meant to be situated right in front of my eyes…

I never finished Beyond Good & Evil on Xbox, and now I have the HD version on my Xbox One. Maybe I should give that game another shot.

I don’t really have a problem with the controllers being wired, but then I normally play with wired controllers anyway. I have a wired Xbox One controller hooked up to my PC and another wired Xbox One controller hooked up to my Xbox One (because my Xbox One tends to have trouble with wireless syncing to a controller…

I tried the Smokehouse Pork Belly sandwich and I quite liked it. The pork belly is a nicely tender, fatty piece of meat. It’s as if pork belly is what Spam should be. As far as I can recall, that was the first time I had ever tried pork belly. It’s an expensive sandwich for fast food ($5.99 for the sandwich by itself…

There’s always Destiny: The Collection if you want to get back into it. $60 for everything Destiny (including Rise of Iron).

I’m actually starting to understand that about Destiny. I never got into it (despite having vanilla Destiny on Xbox 360) because the story was almost nonexistent and there was no matchmaking for raids. But if you have friends to play it with or if you’ve gotten together online with a group of strangers to play it…

So is this going to be like Evil Dead vs Evil Dead 2? And by that I mean... Is one of Destiny 2's classes going to have a chainsaw arm? Kidding -- What I actually mean is that Evil Dead 2 was a complete reworking of Evil Dead into a totally new introduction to that universe rather than a sequel. Maybe Destiny 2 is…
