Pretty much this. Really, the best thing MS can do for PC gaming I think is just get out of the way. Are there really tons of PC gamers clamoring to be "customers of the Xbox Live service"? Is the (in)ability to share your achievements and high scores cross-platform really a major concern...

And yet, accepting money from pro-green, pro-alternative energy or pro-environmental groups or organizations is fine? Face it - its almost impossible to get funding from an unbiased source these days. Don't make me laugh. A large portion of the stuff that's published as 'science' these days...

OK, everyone calling Sony a coward, etc? It wasn't them who decided to pull the film. It was the theaters. The three main US theater chains (Regal, AMC and Cinemark) and Cineplex in Canada all said they didn't want to delay or just flat-out not show it anymore. ( source 1...

Agreed, and this goes the other way as well. How well would the average gamer do if you showed them a bunch of pictures of sports stars or late night comedians or Hollywood celebrities? Nothing surprising or amusing about this - heck, I doubt I'd score better than 50%, because I could care...

Yeah, I need to join the people asking how games that aren't out yet are contending for game of the year. I know GotY lists are fairly pointless to begin with, but seriously. Trailers, hype and a marketing budget are all you need to contend for if not win GAME of the year now? Game itself is...

Even if that does excuse the power level differences (which I don't think it does since they chose to insert it in the timeline right around the films rather than setting it in one of the other ages. The same game set around or immediately after Nirnaeth Arnoediad would have made much more...

Well, if people want to spend their money on this, they're free to do so. But, the only idea they have that doesn't sound like creepy stalker stuff is the $150k goal. Hijacking the ads on every valve employees search results? Having impersonators and trucks camping outside the corporate...

I agree with them too. It took maybe a couple hrs, maybe a day or so, to get used to the new UI, but in the end Metro is much, MUCH better than the start menu. Sure, I scrapped all of MS's silly live tile things, but that took maybe 5 minutes? (And that's something that previews suggest that...

Well, the Dragon 2 and CST-100 are both designed only to go to the ISS. But ever since he founded SpaceX Musk has repeatedly said that SpaceX's overall goal is to build a full city on Mars. And Nasa's ongoing Orion project is supposed to be able to head out beyond the Earth's orbit as well.

Well, if they do fully divorce it from the SP (rather than repeatedly hitting you over the head with "the galaxy is DOOOOOOMEEDDD! play MP to save it" like they did in ME3), my main concern is are they going to make tweaks to the abilities that cause them to break in SP and then just ignore...

OK, I normally don't do this, but what the *bleep* are you guys talking about? Cats smothering babies? Hundreds of years old superstition with almost no basis in fact. [http://alphamom.com/parenting/baby/will-my-cat-smother-my-baby/]. Sure, its theoretically possible but there's very little...

These type of ideas are exactly why Obsidian is probably my favorite AAA dev team out there today. Really hope they revisit this in the future. That said, its probably for the best that its shelved for now. Because while I do love Obsidian, their quality control at release needs work. And...

The badge does exist - its just for the cub scouts, not the boy scouts. source. [http://kotaku.com/5525927/the-cub-scouts-get-video-game-badges]

This. From the look of it, it isn't even on the shelf. I know there's a ton of Disney films, but still, I'm disappointed.

5 pages and no love for Freespace (1 or 2) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZb3QTKHAAQ]? I'd put many of the ships from it on the list here, but among my favorites are: The GTD Bastion And who can forget the Colossus and the Sathanas?
