This - I think there were a lot of niche movies that most people weren't familiar with or excited about. Not familiar names for the acting awards either. Kinda of a down year for movies in general in terms of audience appeal.

Similar to how on the deals page the multi platform titles almost always link the PS4 version - I love the subtle biases of the writers here.

I've often thought this as well.

I chalk it up to socially acceptable porn for places like the bible belt and those that might feel embarrassed or too religious for real porn.

It is funny to me how the Republican party always talks about too much government regulation - except they seem not to care so much when it comes to regulation of personal health choices, religion, who you can marry, science and now yoga pants....

I was interested in this game until I notice a month before release the store front on Xbox was flooded with Evolve DLC. Looking into it, the DLC isn't just cosmetic either - it is parts of the game and can give you advantages like different skills. My interest in the game died on the spot. Maybe if the core game…

Her exploits in the game aside - I don't think she was all that good or important of a spy. She got killed on her second mission I think. I remember reading about her when the game came out and was puzzled by the choice to base the game around her.

I think savy gamers have caught on that pretty much every game will drop to $40 a month after release (except EA sports and CoD). The result is a lot more delayed purchase and sale hunting. A store full of day one content has also become a negative about the game being one to nickle and dime you for content to get…

Not all of chose this. I started noticing a store full of Evolve DLC a month ago and it killed my interest in the game. It's like the worst model in gaming - lets mesh buy a $60 game then use the cell phone transaction model to unlock everything. With all that garbage content in Evolve - the main game should be…

I have a different threshold of things like tack packs and car packs in racing games as long as the game shipped with enough to keep things interesting if you never buy them. Rock Band and almost every racing game does. I'm also ok with DLC that is closer to the expansion packs of yesterday with a large content…

First month? That is almost welcome as I have been seeing Evolve DLC for a month before the game came out - and a TON of it. It killed my interest in the game. Way too much of that has me thinking the base game is vanilla unless you buy all those characters and monsters. Screw that.

I've mostly stopped the practice myself. The only time I do it is when there is some sort of trade in bonus where you get extra cash if you place a pre-order. I try to pick something I am reasonably sure will be great. If I get a bad vibe toward launch I roll the money onto something else. I've stopped caring…

I can see some of this - but when I read the article my biggest curiosity is why does it cost 50% less to put something in Jupiter's orbit than Europa? That seems strange - I'd love a breakdown of why that is the case.

Ok can someone explain this to me? I know what Album of the year is and I know what song of the year is...so what is record of the year and how is that different than one of the other two?

I agree - Maybe my perspective is different because I work in advertising and branding, but I thought this ad was great. It speaks to their core audience in a way that will make them go "Hell yeah I aint no hipster beer snob." And while not hipster, I say this as a beer snob. They made fun of people who would never…

The problem comes from the permanent break system. Let me repair an item as many times as I want - even make it use more resources - then I wouldn't be interested in these thing, but you get a good weapon and you mod it up you tend to want to hang onto until you find better, not because you and not because you ran…

This was my first thought as well - that this was some mishandled attempt to avoid a team of men claiming to be trans or something to get into the tournament. Not handled well but I'm guessing this was the point and it wasn't that gay people had an advantage or something.

For a professor he seems to take a really poor read on the democratic party. They have a Hillary problem right now - but it isn't focused on that she is a woman. It is because she is the heir apparent and has a huge campaign machine in place. She also wont declare which has every other person who might run if she…

I believe it. People are weird. Waiting tables in college I once saw (an otherwise normal guy) start picking his nose with the table knife - which of course resulted in a massive nose bleed. This guy at least wasn't a cheap skate or anything. I think he tipped like 50% on that and apologized a dozen times for the…

I'd say yes on the buy it - It has been great so far. Massive step up from Dead Island. As for PS4 v. XB1 (and I have XB1 version) I'd recommend getting for your preferred system. Be it which game pad you like better or where ever your friends might also play it on so you have potential co-op partners. Everyone…
