    Rockstar: Missing GTA Online Characters Are Gone Forever

    Everyone of my friends who lost a character did so because they tried to make a new temporary character while servers were being faulty. After a while there was a loading screen specifically saying not to do that, not to mention if failing to connect to not retry. So it probably wasn't data...

    Rockstar PS3 Patch Fixes Many GTA Online Issues

    Really? 10k isn't bad money to make for every 5-10 minutes of mission. I mean think about it, they're trying to pace people to not get the highest end stuff in just a few weeks. Even so, I already own a 217k apartment (for the second time because of prior to patch not saving), a car worth 21k to...

    Fusion power a step closer to being feasible

    It means 600 milligrams is equivalent to about 9.3 grains, and 860 mg is about 13.3 gr. A grain is 1/7000 of a pound. That kind of measurement is used with things like reloading powders in guns, or at least that's where I've seen it primarily.

    360 Gamers: Why have you stopped playing Halo?

    I only bought Reach, and borrowed prior Halos (and played 4 with my bro when he was around). Every one of them annoyed me endlessly with their reticule location, not to mention the movement style presented to me. The only FPS I've played with worse movement clunkiness is ArmA2 (though it's hard...

    Sonic Races Into New Super Smash Bros. Lineup

    This is what I'm waiting for honestly. Snake was my main in Brawl, but I somewhat doubt they'll keep him around sadly.

    First 3D Printer in Space to Launch Next Year

    Probably using centripetal force to create an artificial gravity environment. At least, that's how I'd do it, though likely I'd forget the counterbalance weight just like I forget parachutes all the time in Kerbal SP!

    the one thing that really bugs me about GTA 5 (definite spoilers of about half way through)

    It hasn't launched, but considering that the fourth part of the wheel is wide open and I think R* has said that the last part is for your online character...

    Poll: Avatar Discrimination

    When I read threads and post nothing, I do find it interesting to see the same avatars pop up a lot. So it makes for good recognition. Can't say I've really ignored reading someone's posts based on their avatar. Usually I'll start skimming if it's a long post and it is part of a 10 post debate...

    Rockstar: Don't Install Grand Theft Auto V Play Disc

    I don't recall Forza 4 running worse if you installed the first disc, but it had a second install disc along with the first disc that may or may not be installed. Either way, there were two discs for that. Maybe I've misunderstood what you're trying to get at though. Words fail me often.

    Japan Takes One Giant Leap Towards Budget Space Travel

    I imagine many many people in the future will have space programs rivalling that of mine in Kerbal Space Program: massive failures on the launch pad, failures to get into orbit (due to exploding and decoupling rocket parts), and running out of fuel when actually in space and no way to return...

    Trailers: F1 2013 - Classic Edition Trailer

    Eh, it looks good, but after the last game went like this: >drive around corner, tap car ahead >nothing occurs to them, I still end up behind them >5 seconds >penalty of 30 seconds for me Yeah, not buying this. Grid 2's penalty system isn't much better, so it's not like they improved it...

    Rockstar/GameStop Giving Away Custom Sports Car From GTA V

    According to the official rules listed on Gamestop's site: "The Grand Theft Auto V Bravado Banshee Sports Car is a used 2013 car that has been customized to resemble the fictional Bravado Banshee Sports Car from the game Grand Theft Auto V. " Considering the rules also go on to state the...

    Rockstar Details Grand Theft Auto V Bonus Content

    That or target shooting. Or just to collect, though IMO that's useless. As for the bullpup design, it works well with rifles of all variety (sniper, assault, etc) and also shotguns. I bet the bullpup shotgun they're using as a model is the Kel-Tec KSG. The weapon has a 14 shell capacity and...

    What killed off Need For Speed?

    Nearly all racing games are not racing simulators. Quite a few would be more demo derby simulators with/without damage actually being implements. Also, while graphics generally do only go towards some sort of realistic depiction of either real cars or fantasy designs, there are some games that...
