    Why is 60fps so hard for Developers?

    I'm not a game developer, but I'm going to try to explain what I think is happening based on my programming experience. I'm just guessing here though, and I could be completely wrong. To put it simply, making games look better has been getting harder. It used to be that to make a game look...

    How to get Morrowind to run widescreen?

    Unfortunately, Morrowind does not have native support for widescreen displays. Fortunately, there is a really good mod you can download to address that issue: Morrowind Graphics Extender [http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102/?]. This mod also contains a lot of other graphical...

    Let's Discuss Smash Bros for Wii U!

    Unfortunately, the Wii U version does not have an adventure mode or any equivalent. I have no idea why they decided to exclude, but there isn't really anything we can do about it. OT: I've been having an absolute blast with the game. The roster is amazing, and the new characters are...

    Problems with Purchasing GOG games?

    1. The name on the card is simply whatever name is listed on the physical card. Usually it will be your own name, but on many pre-paid cards it will be the name of whatever organization gave you the card. It should be listed on the front of the card in the lower left corner. 2. You will...

    Moba is a stupid term

    Eh, MOBA is no worse than the term Fighting Game, and as others have said, RTS doesn't really describe the way these games are played. I also don't like the term "DotA-like," as several games (such as Heroes of the Storm and Awesomenauts) bear such little resemblance to DotA that the comparison...

    Pop! Soda! Fizzy Drinks!

    I tend to not drink too much pop (water ftw!), but when I do, I usually go for root beer or Sprite/Sierra Mist. Most of the time I just drink A&W root beer, but when I have the opportunity, I try to pick up some Fitz root beer. That shit is the greatest tasting root beer on the planet, and I...

    Let's talk heavy metal.

    My personal favorite band would be The Project Hate MCMXCIX, a pretty damn intense industrial death metal band. These guys are incredible, check them out. Turisas: Finnish folk metal Machinae Supremacy: video game themed power metal Noumena: Finnish melo-death Black Comedy...

    "we're going to dumb down our game to make more money from it."

    I'm sorry, but I didn't see anything the article you linked that says that EA is going to make Mirror's Edge 2 a dumbed down, easy, milked to death pile of shit. From what I read, Frank Gibeau wants the game to sell as many copies as possible, aka what every single AAA executive wants. "Grow the...

    Smash Bros. Director Justifies "Clone" Characters, Dismisses Complaints

    The reason I'm not at all mad about the clones is that a clone character takes much, much less work then creating a totally new unique character. All of the new clone characters combined probably took less work than creating a single completely new character. I would prefer more unique...

    Best Tabletop RPGs for GMs

    Now, I'm not a big tabletop RPG player, but I still think Paranoia would be one of the best games to DM. Other games allow the DM to interpret the rules in their own way, but Paranoia embraces this philosophy. The rule book encourages the DM to just do whatever they feel is necessary (or...

    Guitar!

    If you end up getting an electric guitar, I highly recommend picking up the game Rocksmith 2014. It's similar to Guitar Hero, but you plug in an actual guitar or bass. It's ridiculously fun, and has a lot of great tools for learning an instrument. It's helped me improve my bass playing a lot...

    what gaming mouse?

    I have the R.A.T. 7, and I can say that it's fantastic. It's adjustable as hell, has as many buttons as I need, and is just a well put together mouse. I highly recommend it. The only downside is that it is a pricey mouse, but if you're willing to put down the cash, I say go for it.

    What are your favorite board/card games?

    Here are some board games I really like: Power Grid: This is a game where you buy power plants, purchase resources, and try to power more cities then everyone else. It sounds really boring, but the mechanics are actually incredibly well designed, which leads to a very engaging game...

    Considering getting a 3DS

    All I know is that I've had trouble connecting my 3DS to the internet, but I fully admit that I may be a small exception and that most people may be able to just fine. I'm just going with my own experience on this one. Also, I agree that you should try to get a 3DS XL. Bigger screen + better...
