Well, the kids have to learn about Tekwar sooner or later.

Bingo. Using a 40 or 42 inch (can't remember) LED 120hz Westinghouse 1080p TV set above (It's sitting on a hutch on my desk) two old 19inch 16:10 Samsung monitors.

Use the monitors for the day-to-day, flip the TV on when watching anime/movies/Steam Big Picture mode. My 360 and PS3 are also connected to the TV, so it's…

Why: You probably can't go wrong with any Lucas Arts adventure game, but this one's the best. Nothing has made more of an impression on my life then trying to polish a peg leg and realizing that was not going to get me anywhere. It was a subtle lesson, but there's lots of them. It taught me how to talk to women, and…

Out of this World / Another World

My call: The PS4 will sell ~4 million units by Christmas. The Xbox One will push ~2.5 mil. In the first year, the PS4 will be a pretty clear front runner, moving ~11 mil while One struggles to break 10 mil total by Christmas 2014. The first redesign will come in August of 2015, the Xbox One being made smaller and…

Aw, shucks, you guys.

By electronics engineer, I think he mean air conditioner repairman. Or at least his dad is one.

kinda like saying that a person who is thinking

Problem with any discussion about the X1 is that people confuse truly new ideas—like family sharing, etc—with truly old, bullshit ideas, like always-on requirements, a required peripheral (read: something else to break), and license-vs-purchase of software. Schell made that mistake.

You sound like Holly from Red Dwarf.

I guess it's good to hear that Levine realizes they dumbed down the gameplay, because, who cares when you have all these people throwing money at you anyway, right?

Too bad Mario is going to have to spend every last coin to afford his studio apartment there.

What's the bigger disaster?

Real tired of hearing what developers think "gamers want". Some think we want everything to be co-op. Some think we want microtransactions. Some thing we want open-world.

Not really. Isn't the point of the No True Scotsman fallacy that you're excluding something (X) from a certain class (Y) without warrant, in order to deny for rhetorical purposes that X possesses a certain characteristic (Z) common to members of Y? Imagine that, in a world where games (Y) are known to cause cancer…

Why does his opinion of what defines a game bother you? Does it effect you personally? Not really. Will it change what the developer is doing? Not bloody likely. Meanwhile it seems as if your blood pressure has hiked up a few notches while you swear your face off at a screen.

To be honest, starting on tablet is a good idea, you don't need anywhere near the start-up capital for development, although with the iPads hyper-saturated market it is very very difficult to break-through. :)

I'd also like to point out that every other Tomb Raider game (besides the reboot, Legend, and Guardians of Light) are all about 90% off right now, meaning you can pick them up for .62-.80 cents. Seems like a steal.

If you want to know who to blame for gamer pessimism, look no further than game publishers. This shit used to be really, really simple: buy game, play game, have fun. Now you have to endure DRM checks and online passes and optional-but-really-required DLC and microtransactions and all kinds of fuckery. We have a…
