You'd be surprised how many trade shows do this. I think the content of video games is harder to get people to accept rather than the booth babes at trade shows. That's the one "normal" part, as sad as that is.

Booth babes are just stupid in general. I suspect they are mostly used to distract gaming fans from the poor content of that particular booth.

I'm on board with that. BF3 is like Burger King in that analogy. Same components, different flavor, will never be the top dog of the fast good industry.

I totally agree with you. The way they implemented the DLC (according to the article) is going to cause segmentation and kill the games community or at the very least the experience of that one gamer.

PC developers are finding other ways to nickel & dime gamers. In terms of map packs, I've always had a seamless experience with the CoD franchise. I can play without them or with them and never experience issues.

It has it's places to shine. Even then, the reactions (though real-ish) don't really do much for me. A game like Gears, where a player explodes, or the headshot sounds and animation are much more rewarding. When coming up with all these weapons, and ways to kill people, the part that matters the most is how they die.…

So they reversed the limit of players in games? They patched the game to limit everything to 8 total humans for lag's sake. I haven't played the game in forever though, traded it in while I could get something for it.

Is there an Android app now? Last time I checked I found nothing.

I'm not trying to troll you, but how do you join a game with 3-7 of your friends, how long does it take you, and how often do you match up with a full opposing team that's not bots? Is the game still restricted to 8 human players because of lag? The lack of lobbies was painful in regards to that experience.

It's not a very polished game. I fully understand what it was supposed to be, but the finished product didn't deliver upon it's promise. The lack of depth in weapon customization alone was so disappointing. The balancing of the weapons was bad. But worse than anything else was a complete lack of a lobby system for a…

Yeah. I've been following his blog for awhile. He did those famous Portal Gun models, along with a ton of other cool weapons from video games. It's impressive indeed. Especially when he builds his own CNC to help make his models.

To me this just sits in a weird niche market. It's an FPS without the RPG like Borderlands and without the MP like CoD. It's essentially just an FPS campaign, with some extras. Not a lot of replay ability seems to be present. The campaign itself I saw them quoting at 14 hours. For me, that just isn't enough for a once…

That's the thing. This is supposed to offer essentially one awesome campaign. Last I heard it was rumored to be around 14 hours (which in real time probably plays closer to 10). The more I see of this game the more it reminds me of Borderlands. The problem with that is, Borderlands offered a TON more content in the…

I agree. I'm not a huge RPG person, but when I went through Borderlands the first time, I didn't follow any guides, read up on a character choice etc. Instead, I was the 4th person in my group of friends to get the game, which means I got last choice on which character to be (we wanted to have one of each person). I…

Honestly, CoD is just more fun, especially if you are good. BF is slow as a series, switching to BF3 won't change it's gameplay, unless you just play TDM.

You can see things that look different, but how they actually play is completely different. Also, a gameplay video of an Alpha version of the game is even more pointless than an FPS gameplay video.

That's if you use a real email for Facebook. People set up spam mails for FB, I know mine is totally bogus.

It's just about quantity at this point. I have 58 people in circles, most of them are the ones I want to contact that I usually do through FB. The tough part is, I don't know my FB friend's email address. FB has made email useless for me for some of these people. G+ requires knowing it to some degree.

It replaces Fb, but not really. I have a general dislike for Fb, but what I use both services for is essentially the same. G+'s circles is just a cleaner execution of something facebook has (so I'm told).

From what I've seen the EVIL (Micro 4/3rds) are built fairly strong, but none of them (maybe the NEX series) feel as sturdy as a DSLR. The heft and plastic in DSLR just make them feel stronger. I've never dropped either, or tried to break either, but the overall construction of DSLRs feel better. But, it's camping so…
