Up at 5, in the car at 6, work till 4, home at 5, start to prepare dinner at 6, eat till 7, in bed at 8:30, read till 9, up at 5. Rinse repeat Monday-Friday, Saturdays I work only until noon. I'm not the busiest person in the world, but it's super tough to fit anything else worth while in there. My video game back…

Can we has not broken-ass eight player multiplayer support? Civ V is a great step in a good direction with the new simultaneous turn system, but getting in and out of a match is a laggy, buggy, disaster, at least in my experience.

Looketh. We art all excited to play the game in question, but we already bought it, and there is no reason to play a hypey montage video before the menu even loads. We are about to see the game itself! We do not need to see any more trailers. If the game doesn't convince us it's awesome, no trailer before the game is…

The Asian developers are starting to understand that they have to put money into localization. I'm not saying it'll be any good, I've yet to find an Asian MMO that feels rewarding to play.

Kill 10 wolves, go back to town, kill 12 wolves, go back to town, kill 10 female wolves.

What the hell is the Ikea like where you live? The one's I've been to are mostly just families wandering around, sitting on couches, laughing and talking to each other while buying copious amount of tealights.

I spent a little over $1000 case included building my machine in 2011 and it's holding up ok. 1090T@3.2Ghz, 6950 w/2GB, 8GB DDR3.
You learn how to parts buy more effectively if you treat it like a hobby. Yeah I can't use a new CPU now, but if I see one of those Xeon 1230v3's for sub $200 I'll snag it for later until…

Functionally it's not much of an issue, but for me it's more a matter of aesthetics. Being brought out of my work flow just to change a setting or find a file is very distracting, and doesn't leave me anyway of referencing the work I was doing. I'm fine with the start screen for day to day, but it feels to me like…

As someone who played these games on release, and vehemently defends them at all costs, I totally know what you mean. I recently went back to replay some of my old favorites, Dragon Warrior, Breath of Fire, Final Fantasy, all series I love and will always remember fondly. I couldn't replay any of them :O

Those random…

A lot of people hate coffee. Different people have different tastes.
Personally, I could drink both of them until my heart explodes, but it looks like my kidneys would fail first.

I ran into that same problem. It's hard to justify paying for something when I have no guarantee that it will ever get any use. I don't pay for cable because I wouldn't use it, I don't pay for phone lines I don't use, why would I want to pay for a game I may never get a chance to play that month?

I've heard the…

I played the beta weekends with a friend of mine. The experience it offers is standard MMO fair, with a pared down Skyrim-inspired first person combat system.

As the game is, I couldn't recommend it to someone looking for the TES experience.

I'd even consider buying it once, then no sub fee like Guild Wars 2. I think in a game like this, a real money marketplace filled with cosmetic equipment skins would have made them a lot of money.

In all honesty though, I'm pretty much over sub fees for games. I can't play enough to feel the justification of a full…

I feel like an Elder Scrolls game with a small group focus would have been more fun.

Confusing an aggregated blog site with a journal of news? How embarrassing!

As a number, pi is just another transcendental irrational number. However, what the discovery of pi has led to is where it derives it's charm. Pi was discovered and has since been found in everything from electromagnetism to quantum mechanics. To find a number represented so omnipresent in nature was a huge…

It was an interesting idea at first, in a "Thousand monkeys typing Shakespeare" sort of way.

For me, it illustrated how poorly designed the Pokemon games are, that thousands of people hammering random buttons will eventually beat the game. Let's see Twitch beat Dragon Quest 1 or Final Fantasy Tactics.

Yeah, considering all three were just launched last November, the Wii U has a huge lead in games.

The ps3's Cell CPU had a PowerPC CPU with six "SPE"s. PowerPC emulation on x86 hardware is notoriously slow, and adding in the SPE's, which no one has been able to emulate, on hardware as underpowered as the PS4's would be a complete joke.

I feel the same way, but with one caveat. It's an excellent machine for homebrew and emulation.
