    Valve Wants to Bring Back Paid Mods

    Well it's not entirely nothing. They are going to be the handlers for payments as well as inevitable refunds. It's not an inherently bad idea but you are correct in that they need to work for it. The biggest problem on Steam's end was that they don't validate who owns the content so, to quote...

    Minecraft PS4/Xbox One Crossplay Teased, Then Deleted

    I think it's exactly that. Let's not forget that when Xbone launched it was 'you will comply' and universally being rejected on day one of reveal and recently with Windows 10 and the UWP being incredibly proprietary; why does everyone think MS has changed? We don't know what they expect...

    Poll: Do you turn on the subtitles?

    Also bugs like the one in Samara's loyalty mission in ME2 where the audio just cuts out. It gets loud and then complete loss of dialogue right before making the choice which thankfully pops up the Biowheel. So yes both reasons (also applies in movies where explosions are OP and then talking...

    I can't help but feel a bit prophetic now...

    Google's April Fools 2014, APRIL 2014, had you go out into the world and 'catch' Pokemon using your smartphone. So how does it feel to be claiming credit (22nd May 2014) for the idea of those guys?

    Zero Punctuation: Inside & Shadow of the Beast

    All I'm wondering is why he missed the perfect chance to do a callback to his "Like God of War BUT" from a few years back :P

    What Single Scene Killed an Otherwise Great Movie?

    That one didn't ruin it for me because 'oh look' she's now within reach of the man she loves, that she hasn't seen for 10 years, and she knows Plan A isn't going to work (or at least not in time to save Earth's population). Let's try and manipulate the situation so I can finish my Plan B and...

    How Would You Have Done the Star Wars Prequels?

    I'd remove all the parts where Anakin feels sad. Everything he did? Make it 'perfectly justified'. Murders an entire tribe of sandpeople; feels weepy and sad. And Padme is okay with it? Just have him in denial about it. He took revenge and is actually okay with it because, hey, they're JUST...

    Should Superhero Writers Simply Stop Bringing Up The 'No Kill' Rule?

    Ironically; DC animation did this really well with the Justice League episode of the alternate universe. Lex Luthor has succeeded in becoming President, an unknown disaster has forced the Justice League's hand, Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have breached the White House and while Batman...

    Hello Sweetie - Doctor Who Brings River Song Back For Christmas

    She mentioned in her first appearance with Tenth "there you were, all dressed up and with a new face" but given she had a considerable amount of time with Eleventh then Twelfth would logically be the one to take her on her last date. I just hope this year's special isn't as depressing as last...

    The Steam Monster Game Sale Bait and Switch

    Pretty sure they'll also be a clause in the Steam User Agreement that will state they make substitutions at any time if for whatever reason they can't supply the stated product AND that they may withdraw any product at any time for any reason both in and out of their control. They have not...

    Casey Hudson, Mass Effect's Project Director, Leaves BioWare

    Aside from looking like Sylar's evil twin I just don't really care. We never really got to see whether we succeeded in our mission. We had snapshots of the future but never got a real answer to the question; did we win? Basically it was Patrick Weekes, known under an alias on the Penny Arcade...

    That moment you notice a huge plot hole in the story

    In Terminator: only living tissue can pass through so why were they not smooth and hairless and still had finger and toenails? :D I suppose that Skynet could've built an improved version for the later assassination. We don't know how far in the future the T-1000 came from relative to the ten...

    What is the WORST, most dislikable personality trait a person can have?

    Obsession or devotion. In small grades it can be tolerable; liking a show to the point of never shutting up about it for example. You're passionate about what you love. But when it becomes your ENTIRE LIFE to the detrement of yourself and others; that's when it can get sickening. Playing...

    Poll: Donating blood

    I can't. I was diagnosed several years ago with a contagion that disqualifies me for life. Thankfully this means I also didn't accidentally pass it on to others due to my fear of needles. A noble goal though and I applaud anyone who does volunteer.
