I can't say I'm familiar with this gaming keyboard and mouse combo, but it has solid reviews, and $18 is a ridiculous price. [CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo, $18 after $10 rebate]

Pretty sure the crotch shot was an X-ray move, not a fatality. Did you not play Mortal Kombat 9?

Yeah. Part of the appeal was that they'd do a bit with lower-than-a-rat's-belly production values and/or humor, then Conan turns to the audience to apologize.

Which was funny, since that was the worst mic work I'd ever seen. In fact, as rap it was cringe-worthy: forced rhymes, no natural flow, no meter. It's like they deliberately chose a man who can't rap to be their Vanilla Ice impersonator.

So Eurocentric, it's got Huns, Indians, Mongols, Indonesians, Incans, Moroccans, Thai, Polynesians, and several flavors of Native American.

Er, my point was that you will have to install mods in order to get the game's visuals up to modern standards. If I have to install mods to make the game look pretty, then it's not aged well.

The fans dont like that guy because he cant talk on the mic/cut promos, he only has a few moves in the ring, and has basically been thrust into the title picture that fans feel other guys deserve more.

Maybe it's my exposure to pen-and-paper RPGs, or my significant time playing those 4-player Gold Box RPGs, but I've been able to freely disassociate myself from my characters when needed.

These are the same guys who tried to take down the Steam servers 4 weeks ago. They succeeded, for about 2 hours. Even at the height of their attacks, Some Steam services still remained online, especially the EU and Asia servers. DOTA servers were unaffected.

To be fair, certain characters in SFIV had limited juggling, like Akuma.

I hope they show the same level of love for the franchise that Rovio did.

Since when is "Shibuya breakdancing cat-girl" boring and generic? Do these people live in some sort of alternate reality where every five girls are dressed up like clowns?

Don't worry; it looks like it's just gold-chrome-plated. It shouldn't be subject to Gold Plastic Syndrome.

For everyone else's reference (skip to 0:53)

So what do QTEs look like when somebody's using them for good, not a drowsy, narcoleptic sort of evil? Well, the most classic example is the Krauser knife fight from Resident Evil 4. It's a tense, intimate scene—a sudden showdown between two men with volumes of history between them. Every line of dialogue is hissed,…

I'm saying the barrier to entry is lower, not nonexistent. Yes, there are other costs involved with shooting a film, but the actual cost of physical film is no longer one of them.

Moreover, the barrier to entry is getting lower and lower. Before, you'd need hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of equipment to shoot, edit, and print a film. These days, a talented editor in front of a reasonably-priced rig can take you places. Digital means you're no longer losing money on wasted film.

Nobody's saying that George didn't contribute to making the original trilogy good. But it is a fact that without any sort of checks and balances — his ex-wife, his original editor — with nobody saying no to him, we get overloaded gunk like the special editions.

Single core? WTF are you talking about? I have a core i5-2500K. And trust me, I also used to think you don't need anything more than 4GB of RAM, until I switched to 8GB dual-channel (4GBx2) RAM. The extra room to breathe is a godsend.
