People very rarely actually know the consequences of being caught, be it in games or in life. They know it's wrong, and sometimes they're aware of the punishments others have received in similar circumstances, but by and large there's no real cost-benefit/risk-reward analysis happening. They...

Mod tools would actually go a long way to ease one of my biggest long-term concerns. People were noticing the lack of content back in the Beta, and the game came out with even less if you consider the temporary removal of competitive mode. Blizzard is not known for their speedy content...

I think they were referring to the current iteration, since the 1967 version would have been pretty much impossible to animate with the computers available at the time.

DISCLAIMER: I have not played either, and likely won't, so this probably won't be very helpful. Based on what I've seen and heard, this is pretty much the way to look at it. Battleborn is a MOBA, with all the pros and cons that entails. The perspective makes it more action-y, but you will...

The question I keep asking is why the child is even real in the first place? When nearly everything else is CG, why not just make the kid CG too? Was it just to avoid the uncanny valley? Either way, I'm glad it seems to have turned out well overall.

"YouTube will also says they want Content ID to be used properly, and that they have "built a dedicated team to monitor" the service that "restricts feature access and even terminates a partner's access to Content ID tools" in the event of repeated abuse." I don't know if that's exactly what...

Having played Dark Souls 3 for about 20 hours now I've found myself thinking about how to design the path to boss fights. Which is the better system for difficult boss fights? Fighting your way to the boss every time, or having unimpeded access once you've made it there once? Using Dark Souls...

I beat it a couple of times and I quite like it. There are some bugs here and there, mostly the classic "Fell through the map" variety, but the art and sound are solid, and I liked the combat and exploration. It's a lot closer to a top-down Metroidvania than a Legend of Zelda. I kind of wish the...

Being 100% serious, I genuinely have no idea what a sexy pose looks like, but judging by the comments all poses are sexy poses. They could have her eating her own foot and people would still say it was a sexy pose. OT: I actually like this pose better. It seems a lot more whimsical.

It actually does make some sense with some context. 1) They were already considering removing it. 2) Someone complained about the same thing they were considering removing. 3) It doubtful that anyone had voiced equal and opposite opinions prior to this (Conjecture, please correct me if I'm...

Just wanted to chime in on this particular sub-issue because it's something that bothers me a lot. The problem is that this is just a fundamental flaw in the way we do business (though it applies to a couple other areas of life as well). Buy it or don't buy it, all the company sees is the income...

If I remember correctly the Sony headset needs external processing to compensate for the limited PS4 hardware, which has made a lot of people scoff, but I think this gives the Sony headset a distinct advantage: that external processing means the headset could function with lower-end systems. The...

Don't get me wrong, I know it wouldn't save the world or anything, but if you look at it in terms of what it can buy people you realize how little it can take to make a tangible difference. You tell me I'm going to make $10.08 an hour as opposed to $10.00. That's not much, certainly nothing to...

I don't know how representative I am, but $129 dollars means 3 weeks of groceries for me. That's 3 extra weeks I can dedicate to whatever I want because I'm not worried about having enough to feed myself. I find it a little disingenuous to assume that because it's a relatively small sum that it...

Sorry to cut in, but I was just listening to a podcast yesterday where they were talking about the detrimental effects of the "growth imperative" on businesses. It just seemed to tie-in nicely to what you guys were talking about...
