    Xbox One Backwards Compatibility May Eventually Cover Original Xbox

    My PS3 plays PS1 and PS2 discs. That counts as two generations worth of back compatibility, right?

    Report: Xbox One Not as "Sold Out" as Microsoft Claims

    Neither in my experience as a student nor in my experience as a journalist or as a teacher of English is "fewer" rarely used. Keep in mind that journalists should write one level above the English level of their target audience as well.

    Report: Xbox One Not as "Sold Out" as Microsoft Claims

    Tweak Atlus' nose for bad grammar, then use less instead of fewer a story later. Oh irony! http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/less-versus-fewer

    Escapist News Now: Shuhei Yoshida PS4 Launch Interview

    Honestly I think Sony should have had that stuff set up for you guys already so you could just put on your mic, plug in your gear and go. Maybe it *was* like that considering all the videos are framed the same. I have specific situations where I will choose a stick over a lav, and being...

    Escapist News Now: Shuhei Yoshida PS4 Launch Interview

    May I step into my background in video production for a moment to suggest procuring a couple of lavalier mics and a Zoom H4N? It will make these interviews go much smoother and allow for a more polished finished product to be uploaded.

    Prototype Game Lets Players Experience Life as Anne Frank

    As someone working in the "Games for Social Change" arena, I am glad to see games like this get wider attention.

    FIFA 14: UK Shafted in Pricing While US Gets Incentive

    I always just suspected it was the realities of having a VAT added before sale compared to the US state's sales tax which is added at the register (or not at all for most online shopping).

    Escape to the Movies: Getaway

    I was doing a great job ignoring everything Billy Ray's kid did until you forced me to pay attention something she did at the beginning of this video. It's almost enough to destroy all the trust we've built to this point and have me quit watching forever. You have this platform to tell us your...

    Oddworld Dev: Indies Not in Microsoft's Business Model

    *sigh* I guess I will just have to invest that $500 into games elsewhere. Sounds like a win-win situation to me!

    Animal Crossing Promotes "Otaku Citizenship," Posits PBS

    I know I am in the minority, but I bought a 3DS last week in anticipation of MegaTen with Animal Crossing, but I just couldn't get into it. It seemed like an original EQ-style grind raising funds to develop things. Maybe it's just all too realistic since I work in a development field, but I...

    Broken Age Needs More Money

    I always wonder why those game devs have to be in SF. I think Epic saves lots of money being in Raleigh, and even that's not the cheapest place but orders of magnitude cheaper than SF.

    Final Fantasy XIV Beta Hits One Million Registrations

    I signed up for an invite during the E3/PS3 offer, then got invited to the Euro beta. Спасибо! I've been waiting more than a week now for a response from customer service, but no dice. It was a f-up big enough to make me cancel my preorder, though. I'd...

    The Big Picture: Superman Revisited

    I agree with Bob 100%. The original isn't perfect, but it really does sell the origin. The Krypton prologue pulls you in despite the risk it took of boring little kids. With the new movie, I almost wish that WB had the balls to make the first movie a straight scifi epic about Krypton that ended...

    Escape to the Movies: Monsters University

    I think Bob was proving to someone that he really was from Boston.
