    Nvidia Settles GTX 970 Lawsuit, Will Refund Every Purchaser $30

    What I heard is that the cause of this misrepresentation was due to a miscommunication between nVidia's engineering and marketing department. Engineering tried to explain it was 4 GB but designed to be 3.5 GB with a 512 MB overflow contingency. Marketing just heard the "4 GB" part and slapped...

    Poll: You have to fist fight the last game character you played as, how does it go?

    Well for me that would be Athena from Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. I'm pretty sure that wouldn't end well for me. The worst part is that the only reason she would be beating on me would be to get some XP and a mediocre piece of loot.

    Why do you hate the new COD IW trailer?

    I didn't really dislike the trailer at all. I mean as far as trailers go it was fairly well done. Will I buy the game? Ahahahahahaha... um, no. I think I may know what's going on with the hating, so bear with me here. I'll break down the trailer the way I see it: 0:00-0:30 Well, here's a...

    What is your Hype meter for Upcoming games?

    Alright, let's do this: Tier 1: Choo, Choo! Here come the hype train! Got my ticket ready. All aboard for gaming giddiness! Dishonored 2: Oh fuck yes! I loved the first one and this promises more. Playing as either Emily or Corvo sounds awesome, and the fact that the choice is irreversible...

    REPORT: Study Shows Masturbation Causes Climate Change

    Haha, nice thread, Taco. Your post reminds me of this comic: Anyway, I gotta go; there's some polar ice caps that need melting.

    Best Opening Sequences in Gaming

    I'll throw in yet another vote for Bioshock. The whole visual intro to Rapture with Andrew Ryan's speech and that magnificent soundtrack was amazing. Bioshock 2 was meh. Infinite wasn't bad either, it really conveyed an ominous feel, even though the player was mostly in control during the whole...

    Star Wars not nominated for best picture of the year.

    Well, The Force Awakens was a pretty damn good Star Wars movie. But that's just what it was, a Star Wars movie and on that level it succeeded quite well, but it's not really best picture material. It's really cool and a little surprising that Fury Road was nominated. I know it has almost no...

    Psychonauts 2 Reaches $3.3 Million Funding Goal

    Well, I'm not going to be excessively negative towards this. I realize that some backers felt burnt by the excessive production time of Broken Age. I didn't back that game but I have it and it's a decent point and click. Nothing super special, but not all that bad either. I loved the art style...

    #077 - A Bad Start

    But I've never heard of light as an element. I gotta side with Erin on this one.

    Marry Me

    She's smart, capable, can take care of herself when the shit hits the fan and always has your back. When stuck in a nightmarish dystopia, I can't think of a better friend and companion. I still have faith she'll return someday.

    SpaceX Launches - And Lands - Falcon 9 Rocket From Space Center

    Haha. Nice. I was watching the launch but couldn't didn't stick around to see if they got the landing. Thai is awesome. Reusable lower stages could reduce launch costs potentially by a factor of 100.

    Disney Wants to Release a New Star Wars Every Year Indefinitely

    Oh, man seriously? Please tell me this is just an exaggeration. I mean every year?!! How the fuck does Disney think they can do that and still keep the stories cohesive or ever relevant? That's ridiculous. Maybe it'll be something like this, only replace "The Jonas Brothers" with "Star Wars".]...

    Poll: Do you shave?

    Oh, uh, I didn't read the OP. Yeah I shave my face, but that is off topic so... OT: No, generally not. I know it's a lot more prevalent for women but, let's face it ladies, it's (relatively) easier for you. Us guys have a certain area down there that's, well let's just say is very hard to...

    Blizzard Reveals Warcraft Movie Trailer

    Yeah, yeah that's nice. Now where's my Starcraft movie? No, seriously, where's the damn Starcraft movie?Just admit it. That story and universe is just plain cooler. It's a bit strange. In this trailer the CGI looks way better than expected in one shot, then much shoddier in the next. Maybe I'll...

    Why I Wear Princess Leia's Metal Slave Bikini

    You know, I'd would almost never post in a thread like this but, fuck it. Here's a thought: If a woman wants to cosplay as Slave-Girl Leia, why should she have to justify herself to ANYONE?! All she has to say is "I like the Slave-Girl Leia costume, and want to dress up in it." She shouldn't...
