    Wal-Mart Customers Trick Stores to Match a Fake $90 Price for PS4 - Update

    So, you're correct on your first point...if they only put one quantity for sale. However, most of the people who successfully use this exploit are putting their stock at a number high enough that it will stay on the page long enough for them to claim their ill-gotten gains. So it definitely...

    Wal-Mart Customers Trick Stores to Match a Fake $90 Price for PS4 - Update

    I honestly dislike this kind of practice. A lot of people are quick to dismiss this as "sticking it to Walmart". However, keep in mind that by creating false ads on Amazon, they're actually hurting consumers and other gamers as well. For every person who gets a cheap PS4, there's probably a...

    This Is What Happens When Warhammer 40k Orks Loot a Gundam

    Looted Gundam is pretty cool, but the modeler's Mr. Potato Head stompa is a thing of sheer brilliance.

    No Right Answer: Best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Continuity

    I would also like to point out that the action figure continuity also includes a cross-over with WWF stars Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake, The Ultimate Warrior, and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

    Movie Defense Force: Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God - A Shockingly Faithful Film

    My favorite thing in the movie from the tabletop game was when you mess up a teleportation, you take damage. I was pretty tickled to see that in the film.

    Uncivil War: Watch Dogs - The Car-Clothing Coordination Carnage Contest!

    I dug the poetry series, but I think that I'll enjoy this a lot more.

    Game of Thrones Author Won't Change How He Writes for Impatient Fans

    I say this as a fan of the book series: Now that HBO has flat out said that they're not going to pad to delay for the books to be done (since GRRM is part of the creative team and they know the end points), George can take as long as he wants. He's set up a world where fan speculation is...

    Feed Dump: Man Poops on Floor of Bank

    Farting dog in a kill shelter and no gas chamber jokes? It seems a bit overly sensitive to return a dog for that reason until I remember that my brother's dog's farts smell like a rotten egg ate a clove of garlic and then took a dump on a corpse. If it was frequent enough, it'd be a problem...

    Gamers Uncomfortable with Change, Says EA's Peter Moore

    Yep...because the one thing you should always do as a business is blame your customers. What's next week on Jimquisition?

    War Prime Sci-Fi Miniatures Come To Kickstarter

    Standing on the shoulders of giants to offer something new is not the same as what I see going on in this kickstarter. Having roots in something does not equal no innovation and doesn't mean that it's invalid as a separate creative entity. I'm not sure if you watched the same video I did...

    War Prime Sci-Fi Miniatures Come To Kickstarter

    Can't wait to pit my army of totally-not-space-marines against the armies of totally-not-Orks and totes-not-Eldar. As a 40K player, I see stuff like this all the time. Best of luck to them, but it seems like they're just taking the 40K setting, reskinning it slightly, coming up with a...

    Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade: Plenty of WAAAGH For Every One

    Well, a lot smarter people than me have elaborated on why unbalance in a game is actually a positive thing over time: As far as I'm concerned, imbalance and the shifting meta gives long-term players a lot more benefits. If someone wants a perfectly balanced game, they're welcome to play...

    Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade: Plenty of WAAAGH For Every One

    Although the dev hasn't really done anything worth note, they seem to be approaching this with an elegance to their design that I really enjoy. For example, some people are harping that orks are the only faction that's free-to-play, but the purpose behind this a brilliant example of the pay...

    The New Dungeons & Dragons: Mistakes and Masterstrokes

    As a person who's insane enough to play 40K, I find "sticker shock" over 3 $50 books very quaint.
