I don't know how to hate her AND have respect. I'm not celebrating, because her death comes three decades too late for it to do any good, but I'm not going to apply some kind of auto-etiquette here either. This is a woman who befriended, defended and protected from international law a fascist dictator. This is a woman…

I think it says something that the women's skin-tight costumes don't behave like skin-tight material. They somehow cup around the breasts and make cleavage, and don't change the shape of the breast at all despite the soft muscle-free flesh (see also: armoured women in comics who somehow get tit armour). The artists…

Mr Allen, this post is not directed at you. I hope, as a person who strives for truthful representation, you will agree with this.

"Just look at the UK, very strict gun laws were put in place and the violent crime rate went UP."

(Aw yeah. I'm not a big fan of JRPGs, but I'd love to play Ni No Kuni just because it's Studio Ghibli!)

It's not a legal thing, it's a 21st century asshole company/celebrity thing.

PC gamer here, and I absolutely would buy a PS4. I've been really pleased to see things change on PC in recent years, thanks in part to Steam distribution, but I've always felt that Sony's console tends to get the "sweet" games, if you see what I mean: games that appeal to the heart, like Ico, Flower, Little Big…

And actually, fucking government money is pretty fucking important. A large part of the USA's mental healthcare problem is that proper community healthcare was gradually reduced while the prison system fell to privatisation. A great many US citizens should not be imprisoned at all, and are only there because of mental…

Haha!

This. Also "gorgeous".

That's very true. I'd go further and say that in order for things to get better for women in tech employment, we need to fight very hard for a cultural acceptance of paternity leave too.

They appear to be showing a mode choice at about 12:30 onwards which does exactly that. Listen for them changing to scheme zero, and then watch.

I don't think it does. I think the last paragraph is trying to explain very carefully that they didn't absorb this way of thinking from thin air, and the aim for impartiality in news reporting means that you won't see this in news reports. For better or worse, the news reports have to be totally silent on that kind of…

I can't see clearly when I'm turning my head, unless I'm turning my head slowly and smoothly. I doubt you can either.

The only people still wow'ed by realistic graphics in games are hardcore nerds.

This pleases me, not so much for what it means for games as for what it means to the cinema.

If you don't give a fuck, then who does give a fuck? Nobody, right? That's just common sense.

Toy Story? Transformers? Pepsi? Star Wars? Pokemon?

I've never played IV on a gamepad, and I always hear complaints about it, but on the keyboard it was amazing. Absolute precision at high speeds was just a matter of predicting when to start your turn and how to employ the handbrake, and I could weave through traffic at top speeds with all the fun of a twitchy…

Hi Greg. I understand the need for a catch-up option, but I think Latest should have a name that reflects what it is, and it shouldn't be the default view. I've missed weeks of news on io9 because I didn't understand that! I might just be stupid for not seeing that the option was there, but please consider how many of…
