I agree to a large extent, but with the cost of games and the size of my backlog, I am going to need to know how good a game is before I buy it. Pre-launch I am going to look at critic scores on all the major sites. Post-launch I look at user scores. If a game falls into the 70-range on metacritic then I might buy it…

Loved it loved it. I would always be the US, my brother Russia, and our friend always chose the silly Epyx country. I can still hear their damn anthem in my head.

Well, I disagree. It does matter. Unless they want their footprint to just keep shrinking they NEED third party support. You get that by having a console that has the power and types of tools developers want. The Wii-U has really been a disaster in terms of available games. We go, what, like 6-8 months between major…

Amazing article. Honestly, Hillary has to bring more of these things to light, if only to change the narrative that SHE is the liar in this campaign. You can believe she is a liar, but you cannot deny that Trump is pathological in his deceit.

Let the Rangers leave. Big deal. The city won’t be without a team for 5 minutes. Some other billionaire will swoop in and happily accept that beautiful stadium and form a new team. Sure, it will suck for a few years, but if I lived in Texas I’d not be afraid of the team leaving in the least. Good riddance.

It sounds like there is going to be a special election in November to decide this. Great. This is a chance for the fair people of Arlington to make their voices heard. I expect it to fail.

Oh a roller coaster VR machine. Well I’m glad to see China finally has VR tech that rivals a 90's era American mall.

Total fear of screwing up in front of 10's of thousands of people. Nervousness. I think people just go up there and pray they can just get the ball to the catcher and no to the backstop (or mascot’s head).

I’ll just wait a few months and revisit the game. This is one that looked really good to me so the last thing I want to do is experience an unfinished version that will not be as good as the final.

Serious question: Why do they keep making these movies? Are they adding anything to the existing films? Do they bring anything new to the table? These movies are turning into a past-their-prime band just chugging out albums that get worse and worse.

This is another overly complex way to look at losing weight. Frankly, yes, eat less and move more is way closer to the truth. I know this from experience. I lost 40 pounds last year from nothing more than eating less and moving more. I chose a target calorie range for each day and stuck to it. I also added a bit of…

I’m out.

While I agree she should not have been Pokemon-ing at the concert, it is pretty clear she was paying attention when Beyonce made her way over. Why does the poster and everyone else pretend that she was oblivious when she wasn’t? She had her hand up and was looking at Beyonce 5 seconds into the video and in every shot…

Totally agree on flying. This isn’t just for Orlando, but any trip requiring a flight. It adds so much cost. For my family to fly to Orlando would add about $1000 to my trip. We can drive it in 4 days (2 there, 2 back), 2 nights hotel for about half that. Inconvenient? Sure. But we have 3-rows of seating and we see…

I am not sold on that new art style they were going with. Ah well, I would have been there day 1.

“Still looks awesome”

This looks SIGNIFICANTLY better. Wow. Nice remaster. Almost like a new game.

How would I respond?

Setting aside the licensing issues and having to get approval from the original developers/publishers, these games don’t work “out of the box” on the X1. Even though there is a 360 emulator, there is some work to be done on these games to get them to run properly. In some cases there are bugs introduced into some…

Saved is a strong word, but it has dramatically increased how much I play my Xbox One. I recently finished a couple more run-throughs of Dark Souls and am playing the last Xcom game, both due to backwards compatibility. I have quite a few 360 gamesI intend to still play and I love that I don’t need to go back to my…
