If you don't drink, a rolled up magazine also works.

The list of games that allow for PC streaming is just too limited for me to want one of these at any price point. I really hope they focus their efforts on beefing that up more. I'd love some Wii U style functionality for my GTX 680 powered gaming rig.

Can someone explain to me how people who post completely inane bullshit like this are all parading around with some mythical Kinja status that makes sure everyone sees their bullshit above all of the good posts that actually contribute anything to discussion?

Passing a Spanish AP test is legit Spanish, agreed. I live in George West, the gateway to the RGV, and even here Spanish is not much of a benefit. Of course there is no industry here.

There is not necessarily a large supply of fluent Spanish speakers. First generation immigrants are fluent in speaking, reading, and writing. Most second generation can speak Spanish, because they have to talk to their parents, but the second gen will not have bilingual reading or writing skills. After 2nd gen the…

Yes, but (domestically) there are more people speaking Spanish fluently, so even if the demand is higher, so is the supply.

I think you're a little late. The oculus rift is already being used in nearly every industry: Car manufacturing (Ford), architectural, space(NASA), military, education, movies, medical (treatment of PTSD)...etc Gamers are already foaming at the mouth over this. It's already sold 60k devkits and it hasn't even been…

Infuriating strawmen. "Pi is not special because most people don't understand what they're talking about" isn't really an interesting argument. The same argument can be applied to pretty much anything and everything. Saying why Pi isn't special is the same as saying why math irrational numbers in general aren't…

Might be worth waiting for PC after all...

I wasn't aware Tecmo was working on a new one. I'm glad its got a US release will definitely be getting it.

I have been watching people play it on twitch and every single one of them are enjoying it. No offense to whoever reviewed it (and i literally mean no offense) but I am going to reserve my opinions until I see more of it myself or even try it myself.

In urban areas we are still getting exactly the same service we've had for 15+ years.

i dont know what the hell everyone is talking about. its simple numbers. 1 million ps4 sold in america on launch day. one million sold in europe on launch day. 300 thousand sold in japan in two days... there are a limited amount of consoles available at launch, you put them where they are going to sell. I…

The West is more important to get a foothold in. The PS4 will outsell the Xbox One in Japan even if they launch in 2015. The West is more of a battleground. It makes sense.

So because someone is straight, their panels are about straight people and gaming in a directly comparable way to panels about gay people and gaming at a con like GaymerX?

The reason that things like this often have queer-oriented names is because things being inclusive is not yet the norm. Gay people are still marginalized, abused, excluded, for being gay. For straight people, it's a given that their straightness isn't going to get in the way of them doing what they want to do or being…

Not sure what your orientation is, but pretty much every other con already is Straight Gamer Y; geared toward heteronormative society but if you're gay, hey, you can stop by; might even find a gay booth or two. This is just the same thing with the inverse being true, it caters to the LGBTQ community and welcomes those…

A convention can have a certain topic of interest while still being inclusive. Timegate offers content for those interested in Doctor Who or Stargate. Similarly, GaymerX offers content for those interested in discussing connections between the LGBT community and gaming. The only exclusivity is self-selection - people…

Well everyone is invited, so long as you treat the attendees with respect. I agree it's pretty poorly-named, given that it caters to the entire LGBTQ community, but c'mon. It's just supposed to be a safe environment for people that like games. That's it.

I live in a college town and at the end of each semester when students leave their goods by the dumpster (sometimes perfectly good stuff that they just don't want to haul) I see people coming out in droves to check through the stuff. I guess that's the premise of American Pickers (or Hoarders), right?
