Fantastic review, except I would say Peter Dinklage was purposely making himself sound odd - I have analyzed much of his performance and I think it was deliberate - as in director or actor wanted it to be this way. Maybe Bungie played a hunch. Media attention is often expensive to promote. I actually find his…

If you are a young person and have not yet seen this movie because it came out a while ago, check it out.

I agree with you - there is a physical skill involved in most gaming (ixnay on the earthstonehay). I would thereby deem it "real sports." ESPN needs to go ahead a bro-ify e-Sports so I can hate on them like I already hate on "real sports." Otherwise I may end up wasting my time watching other people play video…

This is a forest for the trees kind of thing. Maintaining the infrastructure and supply chain necessary to create physical artifacts (discs) goes way beyond the scope of this paper. They even explain that it is standard practice in carbon footprint research to omit those details. Obtaining petroleum and other…

Inspiring.

Nope, and I eat eggs and cheese sometimes too. I just try not to have animals killed for me if possible. Eggs, cheese, even plants are often irresponsibly and unethically obtained - a fact I wish would change.

I miss getting new skills from a trainer. I thought that was a pretty special thing to do when you hit an even level. It was a lot of fun to have to interact with the NPCs more for lots of reasons, including reagents. Sure, they are chore-ish activities, rote even, but they added to the immersion level in my…

Your article was well written and well conceived. It makes perfect sense to me that you are just enjoying the game, as stated, and who cares how fast you are leveling? It's not a race… leveling has been done countless times by countless people… but if you don't enjoy it as you go it's as pointless as so many…

I don't distinguish. I said I don't like fish bits in my tofu nuggets because I don't eat fish. It is not better to kill anything, honestly.

Dear Count, I like the taste of meat too. But I don't like ordering the execution of chickens when I order my McNuggets, though, so I don't eat meat. And many meat eaters do not investigate vegetarianism for precisely the reason I stated - they think it is somehow unhealthy. Sure, they may also LIKE meat, I get…

Such delicious foods that can be made without meat. The way people in the U.S. have been brainwashed about protein and "needing" meat is despicable, underhanded, and downright evil. It is very easy, and healthier, to eat vegetarian and be very happy. Unfortunately, fish bits in my tofu nuggets don't fly with me,…

Every new thing they make with Star Wars in the title feels like a highlight reel of the best moments of the movies being played over and over (which is not a good thing).

Who are these people who think they are allowed to address someone personally, let alone harass them? Just a bunch of trumped up fame parasites smacking plastic as the hourglasses of their lives drain. Don't let them drain you, too. Why read something some random jackhole sends you? I've gotten a lot of internet…

I love these articles! The way the situation is broken down like this makes it an awesome read.

For whatever reason, the iPad version of the game works better if you restart your iPad AFTER you install the game/app. It kept crashing on my iPad 2 and I just thought it was glitchy, but I tried the restart after researching it and it worked.

Kind of strange, inappropriate, and obscure, I have recently come to think of Mr. Giger very warmly thanks to his "appearances" on the podcast "Superego". Its a comedy podcast and they do a semi-regular improv impression of him that ALWAYS makes me laugh. Here's their take on him reading Night Before Christmas (wait…

I think the Wii U should have been called Wii 2 or something else... The Nintendo U, perhaps? I think the 3DS was named well, but there weren't a lot of games for it when it came out... a lot of people waited to get one... me included... and still never have (though I almost did, recently). The Wii U just doesn't…

Awesome reporting! I love stories behind games, especially games I can't stop myself from playing, like Hearthstone.

I swear I am not being oppositional… but I like their design. Turtles do have nostrils… you know.

No problem, I went to Blizzard support forums to make a post asking about the poor performance and found the fix there. I hope it works for you.
