So, even though they've tossed in fan service with Samus from the absolute beginning, suddenly she's a paragon of video game equality that should above that? I said it last time: The Zero Suit was fan service to begin with. Your time to complain about Samus being treated like any other female character in games… Read more

It's not like making Samus sexy is a recent development, she used to sport an 8 bit bikini. Though I do agree that she's a badass above all else, and the heels do not add to the badassness. Read more

This reminds me how terrible I think tumblr's comment UI is. I mean...having to scroll ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP while simultaneously KEEPING TRACK OF A LINE that may be one of a dozen or more lines in a cluster, just to see who posted a comment? It's outrageously stupid, and doesn't even look good or flow well visually… Read more

Don't buy early access/green lit games until they're fully released? Problem solved? Read more

The new consoles have 6GB or more of RAM, so the games have no reason to use less. Gaming has been held back for some time because of the low quantities of RAM in the previous generation of consoles. This had held back PC games from using more than 2-3GB of RAM because they've all been using 32-bit executables (4GB… Read more

For all its production values, the writing on Diablo 3 was atrocious. Read more

Yeah, it's not just because they get to learn on what amounts to the best 'Densha de Go!' setup ever, but because punctuality and perfection is drilled into them— with drastic punishments for even minor infractions —until, sometimes, they just crack under the pressure with disastrous results.

Actually I think "investment" is the right word. "Donation" doesn't seem right to me, it makes kickstarter sound like a charity, and doesn't take into account that I am hoping to get something back for my money. Just because there are bad investments that you don't see a return on doesn't make them donations, it… Read more

How? If I donate money, I'm doing it for the good of donating and will never get anything in return but a thank you. If I back something on Kickstarter, I'm giving my funds with an expectation of some kind of return on that funding - this is the very definition of investment. Granted, in most investment scenarios, you… Read more

I think it's great that you guys have covered something that's very business-oriented about industry news (that doesn't just slide into having a narrative bias or lack further deeper research). The comments though...? *sigh* Read more

Not quite - i suspect that the path you see that becomes less and less faded is the route Ms. Pac-man takes in the 15 second demo thing that the game shows when no one is playing it. Read more

and here, folks, we see two individuals on the internet disagreeing. as always, neither side as actually defending anything, but rather they're both trying to make something else look stupid. As is common, trolls and pessimists speak louder than all others on the internet. Read more

Agreed. I think it is poor form. They could have at least wrote "Here is a rock band called 'On Being Human.'" Read more

Good morning. Here is a rock band covering Final Fantasy IV music as a crowd nerds out at Magfest in Maryland. It is awesome. Enjoy. Read more

Y'know, IMO, Spirits Within wasn't that bad of a movie. Sure it wasn't great but it was acceptable. And damn pretty. The biggest complaint is that it wasn't, y'know, FANTASY. Read more

The water temple was NEVER difficult. I don't get the internet's obsession with proclaiming how "hard" it was to go through that. It wasn't. Perhaps a bit laborious, but it's not hard. Read more

Large ISPs institute caps specifically to gain huge paychecks from overage charges. They have admitted as much as it is. Without Net Neutrality, ISPs would be free to institute more restrictive caps on specific services, including those that are in direct competition with their own services. As an example, a cable… Read more

WolbenOne, you are correct and I've registered just to let you know. My first post. I am in the UK, but try to converse with my ISP and keep up to date with them. They are a great company because of that. Read more

If the grip on the weapon is not strong enough, when clashing and blocking another blade it would come to you directly, considering you cannot stop it with your hand to push outside from the dull side, it would cut you in half, being brutally deadly. Read more

Because pageviews. They fooled me too. Read more
