Stop associating your personal experience with the truth.

Well if you're just talking graphic power, whenever a new wave of console hardware comes out, they are at least able to compete with most high-end gaming rigs. Granted PC's will inevitably pull ahead again, and I wouldn't say consoles ever really surpass PC's, but they at least can keep up with them for a little while

The freaking mind-blowingly hilarious/awesome mods are the one area I'll admit PC's will always have an edge over consoles. The things modders have pulled off are just brilliant.

Oh, the best part was when the nurse on duty was this girl who obviously had no idea what was happening or how to treat it. Her first instinct was to check if the saline had stopped flowing (as if that would cause my arm to swell), so she proceeded to grab a saline syringe and force some extra saline through. After I

There was a time I spent a week in the hospital for pancreatitis. At one point I woke up in the middle of the night with an unbearable pain in my arm, where they had put the IV. After calling in the nurse, we realized that the IV needle had somehow skipped from the vein, and had basically been pumping saline directly

So not only was he not carrying anything valuable (his wallet and electronics were all at home), but he also had taken the time to close out his XBox Live and Twitter accounts, disappeared for a month, and then turned up dead in a public park?

Well see, it's very cold on Cybertron...

Just above this inset quote, there's a random mention of XBox One... a remnant of copy-paste from another article? Unless Nintendo is secretly making the Wii U compatible with XBox One games... the ultimate gaming machine...

Guns + online multiplayer + mothers who see games as babysitters = the Call of Duty experience.

That and the fact that it's the sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles, which is a phenomenal game and one I'm still attempting to play through.

True enough! The tech geek in me just reeeeeally wants to see if they could manage to configure inputs for all the major motions in the game. Refine the accuracy enough and this thing could be a game changer. Also:

Wait... make Katamari MORE cutesy?

Judging from the video, it could probably use some refining in terms of accuracy, and you probably can't do the charge roll/hop very easily... unless they add in some other form of input to allow it (like if it had force detection, you could slap the top of it to make it "bounce")...

"Hold on a minute, that's a dinosaur... this game's got dinosaurs... AND robots... that... turn into tanks— GUYS, THIS GAME'S GOT DINOSAURS AND RO... WHA.... WHAT IS THIS GAME?!!"

You forget: these are consoles. Consoles are always going to be designed to be as simple to hook up and play as possible. A major part of that has always been the distribution on physical media, which not only brings with it the ability to let a friend/relative borrow a game you've purchased to play it on their own

Good to hear, but I worry that the damage has already been done. The fact that Microsoft would support these anti-consumer practices at all makes me less inclined to support them, regardless of the changes they make... and I'm certain there are others who feel the same.

Because if you don't attack a big name and sprinkle a little sensationalism in with your manufactured crisis, no one will pay attention to it.

YES to the Sonic one. To anyone who hasn't seen it, Run Lola Run is one of the most bizarre and awesome movies you can experience.

I'm perfectly fine with there being a 4-5 year gap between major Zelda releases. The time it takes for them to make each entry in the franchise just allows them to reach the expected level of quality that comes with the name.

I bought it, played it, and sorely regretted it after 20 minutes. It's still sitting on my shelf. Haven't touched it since.
