    The Autistic Hacker: is He at Fault?

    This story pops up every few months, read the article in the proper paper IEEE magazine today (yes, they still exist), and, although it did go into the background of the guy more than most do, the first thing that still comes to mind is "The leprechaun tells me to burn things".

    Fan Mod Gets San Andreas in Your GTA IV

    GTA III has already been put into VC, and there is an entire new city built in VC. There were also plans to put both VC and LC alongside SA, however I've no idea about the status of it. There is also of course the epicly epic San Andreas Multiplayer [http://www.sa-mp.com/media.php]. I...

    EA: Tiger Better Start Winning Or We'll Get a New Golfer

    It'll be Rory McIlroy's PGA Tour soon enough, so now just seems like the perfect time to switch it. Either that or Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge 2012. I won't be buying it either way, golf games are pointless. It's something you can easily go do yourself, as opposed to, say Madden NFL...

    It's a sad, sad day when you have to explain to readers what Operation is.

    Take a console already notorious for its overheating problems, and stick it in a bomb-proof box... what could possibly go wrong!

    Toshiba Shows Huge Glasses-Free 3D TVs Playing Final Fantasy XIII

    I haven't gone 3D as I bought a 32" LCD last year (well, 2 years now I s'pose), I've been waiting for prices to drop, and I've been waiting for the auto-3D to finally be cracked. Something like this does make sense for my next TV, but that will not be for another while yet, by which time there...

    I have to PAY to view Escapist videos on the iPad?

    I have a 6 year old Sony Ericsson, any chance of someone spending a lot of time, money and effort for free to allow me to watch Escapist videos on it?

    Ireland Creates Fund for Internet and Game Start-Ups

    Name a big developer? Look at the back of most games, or movies for that matter, and I'm prett sure you'll see the name "Havok". In any case, isn't that the point of setting up a fund? To get developers in in the first place? You have to start somewhere y'know. You're also forgetting the...

    Gran Turismo 5 Creator Wanted Grand Theft Auto Mode

    Was looking forward to that, until I read what he actually said. It would be awesome if you had an actual garage with all your cars in it, where you get in or out of them at will and take them for a spin around a track. Would sure as hell beat all the loading screens.

    Congratulations! You've been hired by the villians from the last game you've played!

    ..getting hired by McLaren? Sure, they aren't Red Bull or Mercedes, but working for an F1 team is as good a job as you're gonna get. And at least I'll be able to get noticed by Christian Horner. Thanks for the dream job, dude!

    Mainstream music

    I've heard it before, looked it up after she was on the Simpsons, but I haven't heard it played over here. Could just be the station I listen to, which is great (Today FM). The play a mix of international artists, who are great, but they also try and squeeze in modern Irish ones too, I'm...

    Mainstream music

    I actually think we've been having it quite good for the last number of years. The first half of the 2000's consisted of M&M and the like, whereas recently there's been quite a resurgence in decent music - I say sit back and enjoy it while it lasts.

    Tony Hawk Rides Studio to Layoffs

    Tony, I beg you to grab control your brand. I beg you: enough of the plastic skateboards. Enough of the realism. Enough of the 'proper' skateboarding game. Bring back the insanity, bring back the wackiness, bring back the pick up and play multiplayer sessions. I couldn't give a...
