    The Big Picture: Link Be A Lady

    Bob has really been grating on me for a while with the whole feminism issue, especially on Twitter. I'm not a feminist. I used to, but the movement itself has gotten as toxic as the people who harassed them. That is a huge statement to make - but it's not completely unfounded. On top of that...

    Watch Dogs PC Modders Find Hidden "E3" Settings, Improve Performance - Update

    "Hey, this guy is saying screenshots are meaningless bullshit. Lets show him he's wrong by showing him more screenshots" Again. A screenshot of the code means nothing. Is there proof this is from the game Watch Dogs? How would this code have leaked? A few people have brought up that the code...

    Team Fortress 2 15 Minute Short is a "Lead-Up to Update"

    Hmm. Interesting. This could be a plethora of new things. Maybe a new class? Maybe the inclusion of genders for the team, starting with Scout, and working towards the other classes. Maybe a bread monster? Maybe she's an objective - I mean, she is wearing Purple (Blue plus Red). Could be a...

    Watch Dogs PC Modders Find Hidden "E3" Settings, Improve Performance - Update

    The settings in question that were in the code weren't there for launch probably because of stability issues. The mod that fellow released does, if what I've read, contain files that he also created. And as for that line of code that's going around - bullshit. A screenshot is literally...

    Watch Dogs Review - No Hack Job

    I can take other peoples opinions from YouTube videos and pass them off as my own without playing this game too. An abysmal port though? Really? I think you're mistaking 'mediocre' or 'poorly optimized' with abysmal. Yeah, it's having frame rate issues. That can be fixed with a day one patch, or...

    Watch Dogs Review - No Hack Job

    This game looks fantastic, and is getting universal acclaim as being a pretty good game. I can't wait to hear how shit it actually is 3 months from now, when the "it sucks" bandwagon will take over. Because that seems to be the 'thing' now with big budget titles. Or, ya know, some controversy...

    Japanese Man Arrested On 3D Printed Firearms Possession Charges

    I'm aware 3D printed guns shoot the same ammo as real guns. In a country where you can't really get access to fire arms, I doubt they have reliable access to ammunition either. It doesn't make sense to sell bullets in a department store if the only thing you can put bullets in is illegal. The...

    Japanese Man Arrested On 3D Printed Firearms Possession Charges

    Oh boy. Just imagine when every house has a 3D printer, and the design of these guns isn't so poor that you'll probably end up blowing off your hand. I imagine finding bullets to shoot out of 3D printed guns would be rather difficult. I imagine this guy will probably be praised as a hero in...

    Climate Change Worse Than We Predicted, Says New Report

    I seriously don't get why people are opposed to fighting global warming. Lets say you're believe that hardest core, shit-kickingest models that the Earth isn't heating up. You're one of those Drudge Reporters who say it "Global Warming can't exist because we had a polar vortex." You don't...

    Nintendo to Release Completely New Hardware in 2015

    Salty much? The WiiU seems to more of an outlier in terms of lack of sales on Nintendo's part. Ignoring the Wii, their last two home consoles, the N64 and GameCube, while not winners of their generation sold relatively well and had fairly decent third party support. Outside of that, we have...

    Oculus Wants to Use Facebook to Build a Billion-Player MMO

    Oh, I'm aware of that. That's just a dig at the current market of Facebook games. Considering Facebook has made quite a decent cut of cash from people using this method (about 30% from what I've read). Given the costs I brought up, its not too farfetched to assume that a microtransaction model...

    Oculus Wants to Use Facebook to Build a Billion-Player MMO

    They'll mess it up. The MMO will feature a slew of microtransactions that will bust the flow of the game, and gate communities between arbitrary time/pay walls. Just like every other Facebook game out there. ZING. OH SICK BURN. I don't see how they could make a compelling MMO that could...

    Call of Duty: To spunkgargleweewee or not to spunkgargleweewee or not to spunkgargleweewee

    It won't die until something else catches the markets attention as a cheap way to make the most cash. As much as people like to boast how much video games are made by people who just love the medium, there are equally as many people either working to put food on the table, or making games with...

    Facebook "Nearby Friends" Lets People Track Your Precise Location

    I don't think its that bad. You have to opt in to it, meaning its not a default. And its a useful feature for people who want to use it. I'm all for technology that has specific benefits if they are honest and upfront about what it means about your private information. Facebook having dibs that...

    Jimquisition: Salt Of The Earth - A Steam Fail Story

    I knew I shouldn't have looked at the comment section. A promising premise filled with fear mongering and nonsensical notions of quality control. The 'word of mouth' bit is something that's really concerning. Its essentially saying "Yeah, just peddle some shit. The consumer should know better...
