I'm liking Windows 10 so far. I grabbed Start10 from StarDock, not because I particularly dislike the default start menu, I just think Start10 is a really good product. Fiddled a bit with the appearance to get a rather sweet looking desktop and start menu. So far all seems to be working quite...

I trust Joker to babysit my child more than i trust Kotaku to be honest. That said, the scenario is certainly plausible considering that it's a large publisher. Hopefully the whole Arkham Knight debacle will lead to some changes in the industry. For the better. Also, did I mention I don't...

I think this is pretty spot on. Gamers as consumers have to inform themselves as well as using the new avenues of "voting with their wallets" through Steams refund policy (for example). I never pre-order. Ever. I used to, but got burnt. Obviously I would like to play the latest games as soon as...

Yeah, I suppose it all comes down to how big the PC cake is. If it's not too small and not significantly larger than the cost of doing what WB has done now, pull the game and fix it (hopefully) we might see publishers straighten up and focus more on the PC version. Otherwise they might consider...

I worry shit like this might give publishers the idea that PC just isn't worth the hassle. Dropping the PC as a platform completely to mitigate the cost of porting from consoles and just focus on the segment that is less of a hassle. One possible downside of the new refund system (which I love...

Our kids can't see Lego dongs or did I completely misunderstand the article? Worst thing that could happen would be hearing my son giggling like a mad man or evil overlord when building or viewing one. Are we that sensitive?

My first thought reading this (rather interesting piece) was, why the final paragraph? I think you did a smashing job in getting both sides to make statements and there is info enough for us readers to make up our own minds. I'm not trying to be obtuse or attack you or anything Steven, I'm just...

A screen reader most probably. I have worked with a software developer that was blind. I listened to his screen reader a few times and I was utterly amazed at how he could understand anything it read to him considering the ludicrous speed it was reading at. To me it was just a blur of words. To...

Before I let my son loose on the Internet, we will have some tea, biscuits, and a very long talk about the Internet and those who dwell there. I will regale him with tales of my daring do, my fails, public shamings and all the horrible lessons I've learnt on the Internet. Then he will cry for a...

I think we have all but lost perspective of what sexism actually is. It's just become a buzzword. Debate-killer. An all male or female cast can never be sexist in and of itself. Context is king. Or queen. Or whateverthefuck.

Well fuck my budget plans. This is going to be bought hard. Like really, really hard.

Commander Shepard of cour..... oh, never mind...

I'll only stop when my hands can no longer operate the controller, which probably will never happen considering the evolution of hardware and the many gamers in my generation. I'm looking forward to hosting retro nights at the retirement home, whipping out the PS4 and XboxOne. :)

What I think people need to acknowledge is the fact that it's not just a cash grab scheme to fleece us of money. That's obviously one of the prime factors of making any game, ever, but as pointed out DLC is one way of mitigating risks and keeping dev teams consistent over time bybspreading out...

Haven't explored fully, but there is a family tree and they gain traits and can, from what I understand, equip certain objects or apparel for various bonuses. Someone will obviously correct me if I'm wrong on the latter thing. I had completely missed this until I saw it in a let's play last...
