    Steam Machine Pricing Revealed - From $459 to $4,999

    This is the sentiment of a lot of people. All arguments aside, that is going to be a problem in selling these things. As I said since the beginning, its the solution to a problem no one had. Should have been ONE set of specs, decent price point and hardware marginally better than the current...

    This Is How Star Wars Can Redeem Midichlorians

    The original movies portrayed the Force as a religious or moral concept - good vs. evil, light vs. dark, calm v. aggression. Shoehorning in a scientific explanation takes you out of those dichotomies a little. The air of mystery the Force had adds to the lore. The biological explanation...

    The Prequels don't Deserve to be Flogged Anymore

    "It's so dense. Every single image has so many things going on." - Rick McCallum That right there sums it up completely. Too many things going on, short on story.

    Are you single or not ?

    Divorced. Then hopping from one girl to another (I know it sounds bad, but as long as you are up front and honest about it, then it works out pretty well) and I thought I met the girl I'd always wanted. Funny, attractive, mutual interests and we got along perfectly. I was so enamored by her...

    No One Really Cares About 1080p, Says Far Cry 4 Dev

    C'mon baby, 1080p doesn't look any different from 720p. Who you gonna believe? Me or your eyes?

    I want to re-evaluate my stance on EA.

    I suppose you could look at the free update coming out for NHL 15 that puts back in a few features that were cut from previous editions... http://www.trueachievements.com/n18204/ea-access-has-revealed-more-omissions-in-nhl-15.htm. Then again, the features were still cut in the first place...

    Zero Punctuation: Destiny - Always-On Grind

    I went through the main game and still have no idea what the story was about. It was told so poorly. It was like Halo light. Battle the Fallen. Then the Hive shows up and everyone fights them. Then the Vex shows up and that is the "real" menace...I think. Then you fight the Cabal just...

    Are Valve even AWARE of how badly they're screwing up?

    What they should have done was release ONE Steam Machine (not fifty) and made this a launch title, with HL 1 and 2 already preloaded on the box.

    Jimquisition: Rise Of The Exclusivity Wars

    After being an avid video game enthusiast all my life, I'm now almost disinterested with actually playing the games they put out now, all for the reasons Jim shines a light on. Carving up content/dlc/lack of support...It may not be the death of an industry, but it essentially is over for me...

    Jimquisition: EA Access ... Denied

    Exactly. I had no desire to buy any games for months now.

    The Walking Dead Season 2: Amid The Ruins Review

    Just curious, what prevents you from giving it more than four stars? It seems your review was pretty favorable. I was just wondering what is keeping it from being truly great in your mind.

    Connecticut Lawmaker Calls For Taxes, Warning Labels On M-Rated Games

    These people are the worst - Politicians that don't even understand the laws they are supposed to uphold. Try reading the Constitution sometime. Here is a hint...start at the First Amendment. Content based discrimination is still an infringement on free speech.
