Since my buddy and I put together my current PC, back in 2011, I've done exactly one replacement, and one upgrade. The old-style (non-SSD) hard drive that I was putting my Steam games on was a lemon, and it died less than a year out of the box. That was still under warranty, so I had it replaced. The upgrade was…

Every company poops. Currently, we're seeing a Google design error with YouTube.

I think if he didn't have a headset on and was doing something else about as competitive, it would probably be the same result. I look at him, and I'm reminded of similar chirping and super-ragey shrieking, when I was younger (from others my age, and myself).

They'd be the last people to throw the book at themselves.

To them, lost money is like murder, apparently.

Google probably set it up based on the most extreme of the lot's preference and vision: That we're all snarling peasants who mooch off their entitled plates, and ride the backs of their exceptional livelihood.

If the OS simply had a better detection on setup, pretty much split between whether or not there was a touchscreen involved, then it might not have been a headache for a lot of people. Plus overrides, in case someone knew they wanted a particular style.

I'm 36. I have first-hand recollection of that era, and while I appreciate the general maxim you're applying here, that's not how it went down.

with 8/Metro/boxes/tiles on the 360, the machine has also run much slower, especially booting up.

The excessive ramps in the GTA vid def reminded me of this, more or less.

Mattrick's actions and comments ... particularly this infamous quote, come to mind, in terms of PR and sales problems that MS currently has:

If they go the apple route and make a desktop windows and a mobile/tablet windows, then they are copying apple "like they always do" and they aren't innovating but they are just followers as usual.

It depends upon the talent they have, and the drain as of late, as all the visionaries they had that powered this epic life-altering era are now out the door, more or less. They might not have lost the vision, but they definitely have lost the common sense and the know-how to go with it.

It's designed with touch-screen and smart phones in mind.

Change for change's sake is not the type of change to defend. And that's how the world sees 8.

Because Excitebike is mesmerizing and fun!

Excitebike, with more Michael Bay?

Ah, thanks! Obviously, I don't have an iPad :D

STILL not 16x9? Man, they have Vice City rendered in 16x9. Why is this game such a pain in the ass to change to more modern aspect ratio?

Sincerely, thank you so so much for this link, Jason. Free's a great price, and I've been meaning to give a play of these games for some time now.
