    Full-Priced Multiplayer Shooters Must Change, or Die

Game Publishers don't want people to play their game for years, they want them to buy the game, and then like it just well enough to get their friends to also buy it, so they can play together for a bit, until they simply forget to play...

    Paul Walker's Death Delays Fast And Furious 7 to 2015

    Some dude died. So what. Just because he starred in a bad movie franchise doesn't make it more important than any of the other thousands of deaths that happen every day and I don't care about either. I don't wish death on anyone, bad actor or not, but it doesn't make any difference to me other...

    Can't believe I am the first to say this, but: I never asked for this.

    Unity Engine Coming to PlayStation Platforms

    It was already possible to develop for PS3 (and XBox 360, Wii) with Unity for years. You just could not get a console license as straight forward as an Android or iOS license. You need to contact Unity and Sony/Microsoft and it costs an undisclosed amount of money (in addition to the license...

    Ex-PlayStation PR Man: Sony Is "Sending Titles Out to Die"

    PR is seriously overrated. Gamers get their information from magazines and internets and all it takes for them to cover a game, is free copies...

    Star Wars Detours.... I dont even....

    This is actually quite good. It has a consistent art direction, good animations, some not only good, but even clever jokes... I'm not sure, but I think many here just hate it, because it is currently en vogue to hate anything Star Wars that is not the original cut of the original trilogy...

    Poll: Ethanol/Alcohol in gas, is it worth the price?

    But the prices would be lower, if more area was used for food. Just look at the prices now, with all these crop failures. Captcha: white bread...I think the captcha generator is a PreCog...

    Poll: Ethanol/Alcohol in gas, is it worth the price?

    Ethanol in gasoline is the stupidest thing politicians invented for quite some time...(even stupider than trying to shut down every nuclear power plant) 1. It uses agricultural areas that should be used to generate food. There are people starving everywhere. Especially in poorer countries...

    does your level of expertise in a certain subject affect how you watch films/ play games etc

    Since I started 3D art, the way I play games has changed quite a bit. I just can't stop looking at things and try to figure out how it is done or what I would do different/better. And all these small errors that 'normal' players would probably not eve notice, but are easy and fast to fix, annoy...
