    PlayStation Now Streaming Service Unveiled at CES 2014

    My question is even less optimistic than that. I'm sure games you own on disc won't entitle you to free streaming of that game (I'm not even sure they'd have a way to see if you own it), but what about digital PS3 games? Specifically, I never owned a PS3, so would they allow streaming of the PS3...

    Sony: PS Plus to Better Connect New Indie Games to Players

    I hope they're right. I play more indie games than AAA games these days anyways (thanks to them being generally more fun and creative than recent AAA games), so more free ones would be great. C'mon free Octodad!

    Research Warns of Possible Game Industry Crash

    Lol. That's a pretty good summary. Pretty much what I thought. Interesting that PCs are gaining ground, though. I wonder if that's gamers actually being more interested in PC gaming for some reason (quality, easier access than before, free multiplayer, etc.) and being willing to make the...

    Zynga Founder Mark Pincus Is Bored With Games

    What? A guy who ran his company and designed his games solely based on how he could get the most money for the least amount of work or creativity turns out to not really care about the medium? I'm shocked.

    Battlefield 4's Open Beta Opens October 1

    While that's a great deal on the upgrade (good on EA for that), it's unfortunate that it is brand loyal upgrading. What about the (I'm guessing) tens of thousands of us who have 360s but are switching to PS4 because MS is an ass? I guess I'll just wait to pick up my PS4 and buy it for that. Oh...

    Movie Defense Force: Silent Hill

    I would love that, because that movie was absolute trash. You can see my post above for my reasons, so I would love for Jim to give me literally anything to like about that movie. Just... anything.

    Movie Defense Force: Silent Hill

    I'll take a stab at explaining why. Max Payne and Silent Hill 2 are two of my favorite games of all time (Max Payne probably #1 on my list), and the reason I like Silent Hill's movie but not Max Payne's movie is because while neither were perfect adaptations, Silent Hill at least captured the...

    Sony Not Fazed by Xbox One's Timed Exclusives

    See, this is exactly what worries me. After all the conferences and conventions, it seemed like a lot of people were confused by Microsoft's vague double-talk. I saw a lot of people thinking CoD itself was a timed exclusive, and I have no doubt that many Xbone preorders were influenced by this...

    Rumor: Marvel Wants Joseph Gordon-Levitt For Doctor Strange

    I love Levitt as an actor (was very disappointed when the rumors of him playing The Riddler weren't true), but he is just a bit too young for Strange. If strange was an accomplished surgeon, he would have to be at least in his mid-30s. I still think Liam Neeson is the obvious choice. His...

    Escape to the Movies: Pacific Rim

    I can't get over how much that girl looks like a prettier Faith from Mirror's Edge. The black tank-top helped too. Makes me want to see her parkour all over the place.

    Steam Summer Sale Could Start Tomorrow

    I know a bunch of people have already said it, but that was quite funny. Did not expect that, and will be sharing it accordingly. Here's hoping I can pick up Gunpoint and any random titles I didn't even know I wanted for $5 or less.

    Nintendo Tried to Block Evo Streams

    But nothing will come of it. Every time Nintendo does something ridiculous like this, everyone riots over it only to forget about it the next day. Nintendo just never seems to keep the hate the way Sony or MS does.

    League of Legends Player Faces Eight Years For "Terroristic Threats"

    Trust me, I am fully aware of how complicated raising a child is. I'm not saying the father could have certainly prevented this. If I implied that, it was by mistake (I wrote that while at work, so half doing something else). I'm just saying that he could have at least tried. And if he did, then...

    Full Metal Genesis

    I'm glad you put "arguably" in there, because I think you will have a hard time convincing me that Once is not the best album he's ever written. (Side note: The captcha I had to fill out for this was "face the music", lol)

    Full Metal Genesis

    If you don't like anime stereotypes, you will HATE Evangelion. I know I did. Stick with Cowboy Bebop, Berserk, Full Metal Alchemist (the other series in this comic, if you are unaware), and other stuff I'd call "anime for people who hate anime".
