Totally different situations. This is software being bundled in a upgrade package. The U2 situation was music being unwillingly pushed to your device without your knowledge or consent. If you’re truly opposed to MS adding one more game to their default install, then you’re free to not upgrade to windows 10, whereas in…

Kurt Cobain and Nirvana fundamentally changed the face of music today. You would be hard pressed to find any musician of note who disagreed with that. There wasn’t even a fucking hip hop group in the ‘90s that didn’t sample nirvana. They spoke to an entire generation and managed to make it feel like they were speaking…

Everything the article states sounds like this guy went from WoW to GW2...

It’s a Chinese app, so OBVIOUSLY they’re compiling all our fat Western Imperialist faces into a database somewhere and used to train Super Socialist robots to hunt us down and turn us into soap.

Reading between the lines, it seems like the guns in Destiny use blocks of programmable 'smart matter' as ammunition: when you fire a round, the weapon triggers an appropriate amount of the smart matter to transform into a projectile, which it then fires.

I fail to see how it’s meaningfully different than what you see in traditional media outlets. Of course, your opinion may be that all video game coverage is garbage, Kotaku included, but we’ll just have to disagree there.

Come to io9 and the Observation Deck. We’re much nicer and more fun over there.

It's a good game. A short game, yes. A repetitive game, yes. Has Bungie made a lot of awful choices? Abso-fucking-lutely. But an addictive, good game nonetheless. This is coming from somebody who "quit" once thinking I could fill the void with other games. Took about 2 months to come back with open arms.

Thank you for putting rick at the highest for both brilliant and off their rocker. everything is right in the universe. Also, that show is amazing, I don't know why more people don't watch it.

What a fucking dork you are, man...Social Justice Avengers. Adjust your hat, neckbeard, and venture forth from thy parent's basement. Breath that fresh air. Take a hit from your asthma inhaler. Now relax because it's just a comic book.

Actually, comics are a $400 million a year business, just in the US, and Marvel has roughly a third of that market. Furthermore, they're putting these characters in a book specifically timed to drop right when people will be coming to comics shops and logging onto Comixology asking "Hey, what can I read from the…

Was my first thought D:

my favorite version of Beast.

This picture basically sums up American media. Show all the gore you want. Gouge out eyeballs. Have open wounds gaping on screen. But for the love of God, don't let anyone see that he has a penis.

Does that actually have legal bases?
