    Geohot Hints at Plans After Sony Settlement

    I've been following this story for a little bit, and I'm not sure where this kid gets this weird swag from. Precedent or not, this guy did do something that potentially hurt a major business for the fact that he could. For him to make these declarations that he is fighting the good fight for the...

    The Story

    Alright fellas, let's get into this topic. Storytelling is an important feature in any event wherein you want to draw someone into an unfamiliar setting. Some games are good at it (Saint's Row, GTA, Mass Effect) and others make you wonder what the hell you are doing or why you are doing it...

    Leaked Microsoft Video Reveals Horrible Future for PC Gaming

    Did that video remind anyone of Inception? An avatar controlling an avatar within a game who is gaming... levels upon levels people. I suppose the point here is that MS wants to expand the horizon of gaming to include the giant elephant in the room. Honestly, I'm completely surprised that no...

    Zero Punctuation: Kirby's Epic Yarn

    Thank you Yahtzee for turning that ridiculous child argument around with evidence. Parents are always screaming "what about the children" and "won't someone think of the children". So I'll just go with what George Carlin said about the children. When you boil down things enough to "sanitize"...

    Banned WoW Gamer Offers $1,000 To Get Account Back

    I'll grant you that cheaters never win, after they get caught. Having never played WoW, I can't say I understand what the big deal is about the archeology thing. However, I am familiar with plenty of horror stories from XBL and the like. I have noticed it is not uncommon for people who have been...

    Viewer request episode: submit here!

    I find it disappointing that people feel the need to nitpick this thread more than actually contribute to it. I appreciate everyone (so far the two of you) who has posted ideas, but I think I am saddened by the fact people don't understand the underlying sarcastic humor I put into the original...

    Viewer request episode: submit here!

    XxRyanxX, that is really not that bad of an idea. Given that it is Black History month, that's not really all that bad of an angle to play either. Even under the guise of living in a supposed "sophisticated modern" culture, we still have our share of ignorance and racism running rather rampant...

    Viewer request episode: submit here!

    As I approach the 30th episode, I'd like to dedicate it to a viewer request idea. Currently, I just posted episode 28 today, so with two weeks to develop and produce, it should be plenty of time. For the record, I am looking for only honest, non-troll related ideas for this event. Please...

    What Minecraft Is Missing

    Sorry if any of this has been mentioned previously, but what about obsidian tools and weapons? Holy crap, a lot of ancient cultures used obsidian for these purposes... not just really dark blocks you can use to make an nearly indestructible fortress. Also, a backpack would be nice. I know a...

    289: My Nintendo Shame

    regardless of the complaints that this article is "too late", I think it is still relevant. sure, the Wii has been around for a few years, but there are still people asking for their first Wii. I can sympathize with the statement made in this pilot article. I grew up with Nintendo back in...

    EA CEO: Digital Sales to Overtake Retail in 2011

    considering previous statements listed before me, they provide the groundwork for both sides of the argument. what we need to face is the fact that brick and mortar stores are going the way of the dinosaur with digital media taking a large forefront. it may have had a slow start with technology...

    Poll: Is giving Cash as a gift rude?

    I don't find it rude to give someone cash for a present. In this day and age of increasing consumer debt (especially this time of year), you could appreciate the present by using it to pay off some of that debt instead of getting something else to collect dust in your place. Cash is a pretty...

    Motorola Taking Microsoft to Task Over Patent Infringement

    The timing of this lawsuit seems unusual for me. The injunction to stop the import and sale of new Xbox 360s falls on the heels of the end of the holiday shopping season, possibly creating a scare in the amount of available systems for those wishing to capitalize on the new year sales of...

    Windows 8 Will Be a "Real New Push Into PC Gaming"

    Sounds like they have good intentions towards the future, but even the best of intentions often never make their full impact. With the minor problems I've had with Vista over XP, I've been reluctant to attempt an update to Win7. Now the Win7 has been on the market nearly a year, they already...
