    Can Sony drag itself into oblivion?

    Anything but that! I read a post here once: "I knew console gaming was doomed the second Microsoft entered the market". I would actually love for more companies to step to the console market. Google and Amazon are seriously competitive with their products and Google has allowed users a lot...

    Can Sony drag itself into oblivion?

    Yeah but would they? If Microsoft and even Sony to an extent could get away with it, this gen would have been always online consoles. Microsoft already subsidizes their consoles with ads and gold subscriptions. Even if things cost less, there's no guarantee its going to be sold for less. With...

    Can Sony drag itself into oblivion?

    Wouldn't that just be a monopoly? Also, would they make other models of consoles like the ps vita baby-console tv streaming thing (I think the market could use a $100 game console) and a handheld system?

    Can Sony drag itself into oblivion?

    I wouldn't say its so cut and dry with phone features. Sony's phones also look amazing (though maybe uncomfortable to hold) while Samsung's and LG's look like ass. There's also another caveat: SD card support. Most people like myself won't so much as look at a phone without it and LG doesn't put...

    PlayStation Store Sale Celebrates Heroines

    Fun fact: heroin was invented by Bayer and its name comes from the word hero because they thought it had "heroic affects". Basically it was how they marketed the drug

    Gamergate, No "Right Side." - We Should Avoid Picking Sides

    That's news to me. A month before this was happening I was talking to my friend about feminism and mentioned that I didn't like the term, she thought it was an apt description. I know the crazies on Tumblr have been using it to describe their own agenda Even if thats true about the...

    Gamergate, No "Right Side." - We Should Avoid Picking Sides

    That depends on how you define a SJW and what you stand for. I agree with the gamergate stuff and I'd consider myself a "feminist". I may not have a social sciences degree, but in college I took a few courses on race and gender relations (because contrary to popular belief, there's more to such...

    ESA, IGDA: Threats, Personal Attacks Have No Place in Games

    8chan (because people aren't using 4chan anymore) bans people who post this kind of stuff. And their community doesn't like it either. Also after seeing how Brianna Wu magically "found" someone doxxing her about 5 minutes after it happened, she's got to be the worst person involved in...

    [Update 2] How/why are console gamers satisfied with 30 fps?

    Uh, because its a luxury? Spoiler: I have a 144Hz monitor. It cost me nearly $300. I have a job now that pays twice as much as my last one, and I've decided to throw it into my hobby. Others don't. They want a $400, small rectangle that plays their gams real good, I'm going to buy an expensive...

    NO! ITS NOT POSSIBILE! If I wasn't feeling lazy, I'd look real hard for a command line only distro

    PC GAMING MASTER RACE, ASSEMBLE!!!! First time PC builder here, how does this rig look? - UPDATE #4

    I don't see how that would be bad for the monitor and the answer is that's not true. You can easily see the difference. I'll admit I was skeptical at first, but once I hooked up the right cable (needed Display Port, standard HDMI can't send that much data) I noticed the difference immediately...

    PC GAMING MASTER RACE, ASSEMBLE!!!! First time PC builder here, how does this rig look? - UPDATE #4

    Technically, that case can fit 3 fans on top and the previous only had 2 so it should be just as good. And you can fit 2 more fans in the case behind the hard disk rack to help with air flow. Plus, protect your system from dust ;) Your build is looking pretty good. If you want to shave...

    PC GAMING MASTER RACE, ASSEMBLE!!!! First time PC builder here, how does this rig look? - UPDATE #4

    To be clear the audio is fine, it just needs needs to be turned up all the way. Once I figured that out, it sounded pretty good. I think the rule is you want the source to be low (the volume controller on your computer) the output (monitor/speakers) to be high. Your case is a little over the...
