    XCOM 2: You're Mind Is WEAK! or HOLY****BALLS are Psi Operatives Awesome!

    I enjoy them, I usually start the end game process when I finally have two fully cooked. I prefer bringing two medics for the final mission. So I have 1 for the transmitter and one for the last mission.

    Mighty No. 9 delayed to Spring this year.

    I backed this at the 60 dollar level. It's unfortunate, every quarter this is delayed, I find people that worked on this project more toxic for future kickstarters.

    Oculus Claims it "Isn't Making Any Money" on $599 Rift

    Disclosure: I pre-ordered it. It's annoying that they decided to include headphones. Which will likely be of inferior quality to the ones I have. That I will pay a premium on. The controller is also an annoyance. This is a peripheral, the idea that they should take a loss on this, when...

    Crowfall - Anyone else interested in this?

    Disclosure, I pledged to it's kickstarter. They have the pedigree and I liked the vision. The ongoing play-test that is happening right now is the last one I won't be participating in.

    X-Com 2 Mods: What enemies you want to see?

    Shark people. It has almost nothing to do with a TMNT episode from over 20 years ago. Really...

    Honolulu to Build Nation's First Fully Automated Transit System

    Hopefully paying for this doesn't fleece property owners in HI. It's best that municipalities do everything they can to avoid further pension costs so automated is the way to go. With interest rates as low as they are and the feds kicking in a few, I think the best place to do this would be...

    EA: "If The Sims 4 Isn't Successful, There Won't be a Sims 5"

    That's the plan, they'll have none of it and the shareholders would riot. Only then will the culture change.

    EA: "If The Sims 4 Isn't Successful, There Won't be a Sims 5"

    They would sell it because they need money to please shareholders or to pay their debts. They will only hold onto the asset if they think they can get a better deal. Eventually it is their hand that will become weak.

    EA: "If The Sims 4 Isn't Successful, There Won't be a Sims 5"

    If they aren't profitable then hopefully a smaller and more specialized company can buy it for pennies on the dollar and make it into a success.

    AT&T and Verizon: 10Mbps Is Too Fast For Broadband

    It really depends on who runs the local telco cartel. Also this is not the advertised rate. As advertised it's 250, but it's Alaska so you are a part of a caged audience. I pay quite a bit, but every year or so they upgrade the bandwith again. 5 years ago it was only 20 I believe. Same...

    Jimquisition: Diversity? LIEversity!

    If they do the right thing, they will have to explain why they were doing the wrong thing time and time again.

    ZeniMax Sues Oculus VR Over Stolen Trade Secrets

    If it was Carmack that went so far as to re do the code after the fact, oh my. Those idiots should compensate Zenimax, yesterday, it would be wise for Carmack consider returning to his old office.

    ZeniMax Sues Oculus VR Over Stolen Trade Secrets

    If the trade secret that was "leaked" isn't disclosed in court, then they should't be having the trial. I hope that Oculus starts by asking for discovery of which trade secrets & technology could have been released.
