Did you even read the article? I was born in 1990, and so experienced the culture as a sort of "background" to my childhood. While I may not have the same feeling of nostalgia as Shamus, I definitely felt something similar. I guess that if you don't remember rewinding a VHS tape or turning...

DRM literally *has to* "come between the player and the game". That's how it works.

[citation needed] As a programmer, I know that JIT compilation can (in certain cases) actually be *faster* than pre-compiled code. It can have better cache access patterns, more efficient memory management, memory fragmentation can be reduced (when using garbage-collection) and code doesn't...

I wouldn't be on that yet. "The neurological damage was... catastrophic". Sounds like his brain was toast. What if (going full-on crazy here) they *transferred* his memories, personality, etc. to another body (perhaps a "synthetic" one). This means that his original body could have actually died...

I'm going with option a (and a little b) for these reasons: * It's been repeatedly stated that Telepaths and Telekines don't exist * We don't actually know that "The Clairvoyant" is telepathic. We only infer that from the name. My theory is that the Clairvoyant simply has access to all...

It's called a "digital signature". If a file isn't signed by the digital signature of the game executable, the file is corrupted or hacked.

Kinda worse.

Humans have a natural fear of the unknown and are fantastic at adapting. The best horror games capitalize on this (eg. Amnesia), the worse ones just try to repeatedly surprise (but surprise/shock is not scary) you or show you horrific imagery that you become desensitized to over time.

The obvious response from Capcom is that those are the only people who consistently buy their games. Not saying they're right, but that's basically been their argument before.

It doesn't appear to be a copyright issue, but a trademark issue. Kinda like Bethesda and Mojang's Scrolls, except the "little guy" here doesn't have the ability to fight back.

I don't think Bob has at any point claimed that Sucker Punch was a great or even good movie. The entire point of these videos is to point out the subtle and not-so-subtle things that most viewers and reviewers (your comparison to Spec Ops: The Line is quite apt) are missing. I also think that...

OK Bob, you got my attention. You managed to clearly explain what this movie was actually about, which I could never articulate. I'm looking forward to Part 2. I always felt that there was something even deeper and bigger than just a criticism of "Empowered"-sexualised women in pop culture...

If you talk to Engineer Adams in ME3, he mentions that the stealth system was improved, notably, the Normandy SR2 can shift out of FTL without any emissions.

Speaking as an Australian, the risks associated with living here seem to be vastly overstated. And yes, there are a lot of dangerous species here, but unless you live way out of the major cities, you'll probably never even see them.

Trust me, you're not missing out on much.
