I'm going to be replacing my mouse soon, since I've noticed it doesn't slide as smoothly as it used to, to the point where I can tell it's actually affecting how well I do in games. I currently have a Razer Abyssus that I've been using since 2010, and I'd like some recommendations for similar...

PS4 installs have been very quick in my experience, and you can start playing at least most games before the install is finished anyway.

If you count Pokemon when I was like 5 then no, I'm afraid not. But if you don't then it was Gundam 00 in middle school, and hell yes that holds up. Still one of my favorites to this day.

I'm surprised, I and everyone I know who saw it thought this was one of the better Marvel movies

Bladestorm. Simplistic gameplay, graphics that weren't even very good (though not really bad either, I suppose), cheesy at best story, and incredibly terrible voice acting, bu I love that game.

See, this is what I don't get. At the risk of being overly blunt, what difference is there in attraction to someone who doesn't fall under the gender binary? Regardless of what their mental gender is, they still look like one or the other of the two physical sexes. So is pansexuality then just...

I do have one question, for you or anyone else knowledgeable: What, exactly, is the difference between bisexual and pansexual? I've never been able to get a clear answer from anywhere, including a friend of mine who is himself transgender and very active in the LGBT community. Thanks in advance.

Answers typed as I go: But the real reason I liked this thread last time was to waste time making my own stupid list. Most of these shouldn't be too hard... I could probably get a little more obscure, but I won't. [/spoiler]

I name the same book every time someone makes a thread like this, so here we go again: The Risen Empire and its sequel The Killing of Worlds (aka Succession for the whole series) by Scott Westerfeld. They go together directly and IIRC were actually written as one book and only split in two...

This actually sounds like a cool idea. The Apple watch is still super stupid but hey- neat game.

I actually think this looks pretty cool (yes, even the FMV stuff... sue me, I think it seems fun and suits the game). I sort of missed the whole music gaming craze so it's to see both this and a new Rock Band coming out. I'm not sure about the change to the controller, but it could work- while...

I'm a big fan of Duet. It's a very simple concept, but executed really well and it will last you a good long while before you beat it. The soundtrack is brilliant too.

Please let this be a Wedge Antilles movie. Please let this be a Wedge Antilles movie. Please let this be a Wedge Antilles movie. Please let this be a Wedge Antilles movie. Please God let this be a Wedge Antilles movie. Seriously though, a Rogue Squadron movie would be awesome. Even if...

The Space Engineers devs have announced that they're adding explorable and (eventually) terraformable planets in the relatively near future, adapted from the terrain code used in Medieval Engineers. As far as this game, the aesthetic strikes me as sort of 'low budget', especially compared to...

Serious answer? Cultural tradition dating to the very, very beginning of American settlement. Remember that the Pilgrims were Puritans. As the dominant region of the country for some time in its early days, Puritan-influenced culture spread into lots of aspects of American culture, some of the...
