I have a hard time measuring wasted potential. If we want to talk lost potential energy, then really Nintendo is the first company that comes to mind. They have a huge user base of rabid fans, desperate to have more games, but they squander their significant cushion of cash and loyalty releasing...

Thank you so much for the advise! I had been worried about the proper way to preserve it. I know a framer nearby that has "Museum Quality" glass, so I'll make to to ask if that's a marketing term, or if its actually blocking out the UV light. Something like acid free laminate is a term I haven't...

Specialization is the way to go. Everything video games teaches this. In Splinter Cell Black List, I specialized in all silent weaponry. In Fable I specialized in Magic. In Xcom I built whole bases dedicated to manufacturing laser pistols to sell on the black market. Don't be wishy washy. Go all...

Well I have a copy of the New York Times from the day after we landed on the moon. It's not in super great shape or anything. It's over forty years old so the paper is yellowed, but the news print is all in one piece and readable. I have a piece of cardboard in the center to maintain the fold...

The most absurd thing I heard wasn't they were remaking robocop, but that they were making it pt-13. The fact that they wanted to change the central themes of the movie isn't a problem. I mean, why bother remaking a movie if its just an HD updated of the original? Thing is when you remake a...

Now that's a pretty cool idea. It seemed strange, until you consider Pit got in brawl and at the time, he only had a single game that was two decades old. It's a pretty big upgrade from a support character.

Nintendo isn't so much a company as an institution. Its the bedrock of gaming for many gamers. Franchises like Mario and Zelda reach deep into the minds of gamers. The problem is, Nintendo has spent much of the last twenty years in decline. Now, we know the last few were pretty kind to them...

I remember doing papers in school and wasting hours sitting clicking my way to pay walls. However, this would really only be useful if it could have real credibility behind it. In my mind, the only reason this has any chance of success is because Science is behind it, but they'll need to...

Okay, let me put it this way. There is potential for this to be pulled off. I new games on the Xbone only cost 40 dollars, would you buy one? How about 50? What if they only cost 30? At one point would you buy an Xbox one and be happy for the price advantage. What if they had sales like steam...

You know I have no plans to buy one, and I think it illustrates the utility of MS's or Sony's marketing department rather than the merit of their power. This thread alone contains several interesting videos and comments that have shown me that the Ouya could be a worth while addition to my...

Well Ryan is in Rapture because he's a thoroughly broken man, and psychotic at this point. As you approach him he's ranting and raving about how his city is rising again. Fontaine and the others are still there because they're incapable of leaving, but Fontaine sticks around after Ryan is dead...

I can agree with you on many of these points. The environments in Columbia are gorgeous and it has a charm far different than a decaying art deco city. It feels like a pleasant place to be standing in while being shot at, where one of the points of Rapture was that it was supposed to be this...

It's probably just the militant atheist at my core, but I never had any issues believing that being born again could cause someone to become a hateful genocidal racist. From a more practical perspective, you'd have to be without oxygen for a minute or two after blacking out to suffer any really...

I can see a lot more of this coming out of EA soon. Their stock price is in a tumble, and their CEO resigned, basically out of failure. Franchises and published titles are losing cash left and right while they've also had difficulty buying up studios. EA has got to be desperate for some cash...

In the game, they establish that every decision you make creates a separate universe based on all outcomes of that decision. After the Battle of Wounded Knee, Booker Dewitt sought solace in a baptism. Booker Dewitt, your character, decided to reject the baptism and went on to live his life in...
