Cool story. But seriously, it was a joke. "Hackers" isn't a documentary, it's a lame 90s movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt011324….

Umm, you do realize it's not actually a game? A wall doesn't make sense.

If DDoS attacks are like pong, then hacking is like Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's true — if you don't believe me, watch the documentary called "Hackers". You'll see.

I'm really hoping they meet their last stretch goal! NPC schedules and day-night cycles would be really cool!

Oh, we know a lot more than that:

How do you like them apples?

Yeah, except that these layers aren't compatible with each other. On one hand you are making a point about how people are focusing on the wrong thing, but on the other hand you claim to be saying that this other thing shouldn't be taken seriously at all. You're being completely illogical and it bothers me.

Darn, I was hoping to make a comment about that first... :(

Yeah, don't feel bad. I can't see how that's the joke.

Is it though? Because it seems like the joke is about how people are getting distracted by a new PSY video when there is something more serious happening.

Not just you.

I think people who compare the specs of computers vs consoles are missing the point. Consoles, by and large, simply provide a better gaming experience as a whole. I find the games to be more polished and more enjoyable, and for many genres I prefer a controller to a keyboard and mouse. Graphics and fancy physics are…

I read that part of the article several times to make sure I wasn't missing something more insightful. What a pointless observation to make...

I personally don't understand this point of view. It's not just about specs. Regardless of whether or not consoles are or are not more powerful than gaming computers, they simply provide a different gaming experience. Who cares about the numbers?

Maybe you have synesthesia.

Interesting. I've never really though of using kids to be endearing before...

Okay: luys.

Dude, it's about the games and the experience. Some companies only make games for consoles. When was the last time you played MGS4 on a PC? Oh, wait, NEVER!

Women objectify themselves to me all the time when I go to the beach! It's awful. They have their bikinis on, and their boobs are all slightly visible. It's terrible what they're doing. They're all sexist! Boobs are BAD!!!
