    Selling Gambling to Children - Do we ACTUALLY care?

    Facebook has only been around since 2004, and only opened to the general public in 2006. The iPhone and the growth of mobile gaming has only been around since 2007. It has not been "literally DECADES" - that would involve more than one decade, and back in 1997 even Everquest and Neopets were...

    Games in which you play as evil

    Torment strictly on playthrough rewards you to take the "good" options (you learn the most about your past this way), but holy shit was the Practical Incarnation ever a cold, calculating bastard. As an example, he In a game where the player can push his Intelligence stats to be god-like, the...

    The Death of Productivity: Hearthstone is Now Available on Smartphones

    Nope, no it isn't. The internet is not America. Even if it were, 418million people speak Spanish in America (since apparently you aren't even aware that America refers to the continent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americas]).

    The list of things wrong with this post: * Not everyone has a stockpile of non-preparation food. Some people go shopping when they literally have no food, not when their food is low. * Not everyone has access to the internet. * Not everyone has access to an online grocery that delivers in...

    Inventor Predicts Maybe 5 Years Before Oculus Rift Goes Mainstream

    Fine, okay, let's discuss YOUR own private home movie theater. An aside that no-one ever claimed was "the main prevailing comment" of your defensive self. A movie theater you can't share with anyone else, except in the most basic "featureless avatar representing another person in the virtual...

    AT&T and Verizon: 10Mbps Is Too Fast For Broadband

    Yes, if someone steals your stuff you can complain. It's also totally NOT THE SAME THING as complaining that you're "only" in the top 15% of service globally. Try complaining about your health system - that genuinely sucks.

    AT&T and Verizon: 10Mbps Is Too Fast For Broadband

    Quite frankly, any time I hear people in the US whining about their internet service - service that is ranked in the top 15% globally - I think "First World Problems". Boohoo - you're not in the top 10 countries. Do you know how many other countries have worse internet than you? Over 150...

    8 Video Games That Didn't Sell As Well As Expected

    What the hell is this list? "Sell as Well as Expected"? Half the games listed were (are) crap, so anyone paying attention "expected" them to sell poorly. The other half are Tim Schafer, who for all his creative brilliance can't market worth a damn, so since hardly anyone was aware of these...

    4 Marvel Universe Continuity Gags We Actually Want to See

    Naw - you're thinking of the DC Earth-2 (later Earth-3) universe where all the usual superheroes are villains (Superman=Ultraman, Batman=Owlman etc.) and Alexander Luthor is the world's only hero. Riddler was referring to the DCAU Justice League cartoon where the alternate universe had the...

    BIT.TRIP Dev Gaijin Games Changes Name to Avoid Racial Slur

    Wut? I lived in Japan for 3 years and I was called "gaijin" to my face by practically everyone. It can be used as a perjorative, but most of the time it's just "non-Japanese".
