Speaking for myself, I have no interest in the ownership of digital goods, and limiting dynamic content and media experiences by pre-internet ideas of ownership prohibits progress and innovation. I'm not sure what 'ownership' even means when there is limited demand and infinite supply, really. Dynamic content had…

This is the link floating around the internet today:

There was a certainly-plausible rumor this morning that the family sharing plan gifted the ten others members a 30-60 minute trial of the full game before prompting them to buy it. That's... not much of a loss, if accurate. That certainly sounds more likely than some buy-1-get-9-free plan.

If console manufacturers want to make the switch to digital - as a Futurist I absolutely do! - they just have to make their virtual stores have all the launch-day releases, comparable retailer exclusives (though I'd rather ditch them entirely), publisher-controlled pricing for sales, and a price discount equal to the…

If people want to stop this sort of behavior, report it at the show. There are always going to be some creepy, alienating, and damaged people in a huge crowd, and they have systems in place to handle inappropriate behavior. It's hardly reasonable to paint all 50,000 attendees with the 'creepy-rapey' brush, and…

Oh, also an idiom is an expression ("an expression in the usage of a language that is peculiar to itself either grammatically or in having a meaning that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements") and it's not one because it's meaning is the literal combination of the words that make it up. 'It'll…

Define it however you want - I'd argue 'time' and 'effort' are interchangeable in this context - but that's not what I'm saying (which doesn't include anything about agreement requirements, their other potential merits, or anything that's not about picking a fun partner). Feel free to ignore my input when deciding…

Well, it's first person, so you're the other character involved - it looked like a pole dance followed by a lap dance. If it's just using the Rift, I imagine it could interpret Yes or No head motions. No sex game is going to be a real game - that's not the point, right?

I dunno - I followed the game pretty closely, bought it day 1, and I never had the impression it was emphasizing multiplayer beyond that being a largely-optional side feature. I think in my whole time playing it I was invaded once and had co-op help twice? I can believe it might have been disappointing for players who…

Online play is hardly 'the point of the game.'

The expression's short for 'isn't worth your time' - replying to your comment, for example.

In my experience, sex is way awesomer with people who are accepting and comfortable, someone who cares at all about the aesthetics of an electronic device when choosing sexual partners is probably neither of those.

This early videos of the game are just looking around with the Rift while sitting down - didn't seem to need an additional controller, at least not for most of it.

Anybody who wouldn't have sex with you because of the design of a videogame console isn't worth having sex with, anyway - someone that judging and shallow is going to be terrible in bed.

When did purple-red hair dye start counting as being a redhead? I see that all the time now.

The singleplayer/multiplayer dichotomy is fading, though, or at least MS is banking on that happening.

When I was a kid in the 90s there were a ton of awesome 'brown' heroes I liked. Has that changed? I loved Deathlok, Steel, Black Panther, Storm, Bishop, Blade, etc. From the outside, comics seem more diverse than ever.

That's kind of a sad story. VR is so brimming with potential, though I suppose it'll be a while before developers have had a chance to really start getting those experiences available.

That's more of a koan than an idiom.

The inevitable 'Slim' models of these will be diskless, too - the inclusion of physical media support here is a stopgap for MS, and Sony's probably still a little hesitant after the PSPGo debacle.
