My thought exactly...

Sure, your opinion's fine. But you just seemed to be approaching this with the expectation that all girls want to conform to common concepts of beautiful. Maybe they themselves think it looks ugly but just do it for the lulz.

As long as you wash properly with a washcloth you don't need to shower, especially not every day. It also really takes it's toll on long hair. The less you wash hair the better. It also keeps your water and energy bills down. With short hair it's just more convenient to jump in the shower.

Calm down man. That really is just meaningless hype. How does travel time on horseback show off technical capabilities? When the game comes out it might impress, but not before with irrelevant tidbits and showy screen renders.

Like I've said that all sounds plausible but as of yet there aren't really any examples to point to, just fanboy hype and speculation. We haven't seen the Witcher game, just a bunch of press releases.

Competition is always good for consumers, even some people can't truly appreciate the diversity and benefit they bring with them. No competition would mean higher prices, worse hardware and more DRM for everyone.

Well on the Wii even having lots of sales didn't make anyone want to develop for it. Except shovelware. Ubisoft have a reputation for shovelware on the Wii.

Modern PCs don't have that much overhead anymore. That said the Ubisoft guys are probably more interested in wowing people than having an absolutely accurate comparison for PS4 graphics.

And as soon as people get a smart TV they'll ditch the streaming functionality on their console (faster startup). I've never heard of anyone buying a console for streaming either. Rather they bought it for gaming and find the functionality convenient, or a family member already owns one and they use it for convenience.

Not hard to swallow, I don't even have a WiiU. My point was that while the hardware is certainly more powerful on paper we don't really know how much this will empower game developers. Will it mean that PS4/XBone worlds will be much more open and featured than on the WiiU, like how it was with the PS360 and Wii? Or…

Netflix is pushed to as much hardware as possible to increase it's customer base. For a lot of people the most readily available device is a console, but that doesn't mean they bought the console for Netfliy. The new media hub will be - gasp - TVs themselves. Not to mention that you can get Netflix from "last-gen"…

Meh. Opinions are often very malleable and crowds tend to follow. This is just fair satire.

I think we've moved away from clearly cut "generations" of consoles. All have basically the same hardware features, just different scales of performance. WiiU fits somewhere in the spectrum between PS3 and PS4. Until we've seen something the WiiU (or the PS3 for that matter) actually can't do this is just a fight…

It's actually a term from signal processing. "Stupid" algorithms are the "quick and dirty" solutions which produce obvious artifacts. "Smart" algorithms specifically try to mitigate such artifacts. Of course, depending on context it might be very smart to use a "stupid" algorithm.

Nearest neighbour interpolation is stupid and will result in aliasing. Good TV's will use some non-linear method and this generally delivers pretty good results. While yes, this does lead to a loss of definition in the edges, it is more academic than actually noticeable, especially when your upscaled resolution is…

Like I say a lot of stuff is debatable. So in the end we'd just be throwing back and forth stuff just for the sake of argument, but just to add a few comments:

No, I'm talking about details in the analogue signal that a CRT electron beam spread is unable to adequately resolve. It's like if you have a CRT PC monitor and crank the resolution up to something ridiculous: Yes, it may scan 1600 lines, but if you look closely it's all blurred.

Sounds like you just don't have a very good HDTV. Upscaling of low-resolution content is actually one area where there is a huge difference between different HDTVs.

The sky overworld is an entirely barren level hub and the flying is awkward and boring. Twilight Princess had a connected landscape with tons of secrets, while Wind Waker's great sea was much more interesting and sailing was actually fun. I also miss the day/night change and the weather (the storm cloud doesn't count…

Nah, that's just for online accounts. You can still get all the offline content.
