So why is this news looks and reads more like an advertorial to me.

Well if the PS3 is anything to go by then Sony don't just shove things down the consumers throat. First they crow bar it in and then use a sledge hammer to ram it into every orrifice the consumer has. Everything the Xbone was going to do at launch the PS4 has the capability to do (In terms of...

I dunno but one good reason could be out of the 3 "game consoles" it's the only one that's primarily a game console and not some service gateway attempting to take over the living room.

Yep and whats scarey at least to me anyway is The PS4 with just a couple of firm ware updates will have all the stuff people are hating on the Xbone for and that means nothing will have changed and all the companies will learn from the xbone screw up is we need to keep this stuff on the down low...

Look the guy is the head of a company that just happens to publish games. That is to say his probably not a gamer his a business man and all the advice he gets and stuff he hears about come from other business men who are probably also not gamers heck they probably don't know how to turn on...

Free internet sounds great. Couple of problems the priorities seem to be a bit off I dunno but free healthcare would be nice and would seem to be a bit more important than free internet. The other problem who is going to be paying for the instalation and maintanence of this free wifi oh it's...

Well yeah I was probably getting shafted with my internet costs and restrictions. We are talking 7 or 8 years ago and living west of the great dividing Range. My provider being Telstra the only provider in the area at the time.

It's a good PR move by Green Man Gaming but I don't know how it fixes the issue. I mean if the publishers see that it works and they aren't making any less money then they will just keep on demanding that they keep jacking up the prices for the region. I'm not sure how New Zealands internet...

I have the first part of a solution. How about instead of the media white out where the killer is plastered all over every news outlet for most of a month thus getting their 15 minutes of fame they so desperatly want we have a media blackout. Maybe a short throw away like "in other news some...

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was my favourite book I had to read in school. It was in primary school and R.Dahl was my favourite author for a long while after. After that probably The Hobbit and Animal Farm but it was pretty close and Charlie wins mostly because there were so many other...

Australia never banned guns. Basicly what happened in Australia after some nut shot up a village in Tasmania was you had to show why you needed to own a gun and self defence wasn't a valid reason. Basicly to own a gun you had to prove you were a farmer (pest control), knew a farmer who would...

Faith in Science in relation to the video mentioned by the OP has not much to do with the end results of the scientific method or the hypothosis and theories that result. The faith the EC video was focused on was that to get any system to work you have to take certain things that are the...

Wonder if this would work. Instead of pitching the idea to studios how about putting this big presentation on the internet and see if you can get several million people to buy into the idea and then stick it up on kickstarter with a 200 million goal and as long a term as kickstarter allows...

This is what confuses me about the whole kick starters thing. They call it an investment but your not really getting the traditional reward of investing (a share in the profits/company). For the most part your getting a pre-order with some kind of swag bonus. So to me it seems to operate as...

Great another old Dev who hasn't been relevant to the industry for well over a decade is trading on their name and making a move into social gaming. Pity the social gaming bubble is about to burst. As to who he chose to publish the game well the reason the article gives was complete marketing...
