    Report: GTA V For PC Ships on a Whopping Seven Disks

    The PC version of the game is the same one, with some additions, as the version seen on the Xbone and PS4. All three have more content than the disc version seen on the 360 - the downloadable cars that have to be spawned from the player garage in the 360/PS3 version are actually part of the...

    Report: GTA V For PC Ships on a Whopping Seven Disks

    More and larger textures, more audio, more models, more physics and AI data, different foliage system, video editor and required software installation files (Whatever authentication scheme they are lumbering us with this time, Microsoft Visual C++ libraries and Direct X libraries for example.)...

    Facebook Accidentally Leaks Android "Phone" App

    Considering what a.. ...fornication up the last attempt Facebook made to do anything with regards to phone technology was. I'm doubtful this will work any better. For one thing its either going to be dependant on people attaching their phone numbers to their facebook account - limiting this...

    Jimquisition: The King of Crap Steam Publishers

    Uhg. I remember what they did to the Space Empires series... ..uhg. I don't even know where to begin on that mess, let's just say they effectively killed the series by releasing the fifth game long before it was ready - then sat on the franchise and let it rot rather than sell it back to its...

    Escapist Podcast - Tabletop: 011: Streaming D&D on Twitch Is Weird

    I got mentioned in the Podcast... ..I think maybe I talk TOO much on the Twitch chat. Anyway, good to hear your going to go ahead with other games in future! I'm still hoping you'll do a Paranoia playthough, I'd love to see how far you will all go to serve Friend Computer. And I'll admit...

    Weekend Box-Office: Marvel's Guardians Take Back Top Spot

    Now it is such a bizarrely improbable circumstance that anything so mindbogglingly good to watch could have actually done well at the box office that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: 'I...

    7 Famous Warships That Ruled the Modern Seas

    Small point regarding the Dreadnought. Yes, her speed was an important part of her revolutionary design - but it wasn't the key component. What really set the Dreadnought apart from it's predecessors was its switch from a mixed calibre guns to a single calibre for all guns. It meant that...

    UAE Announces Plans for a Mission to Mars in 7 Years

    EU, sure the ESA is perfectly capable of doing Mars missions - several member states could probably handle a basic probe independently at this stage. Russia? Not so much. The country is basically bankrupt, and their space agency hasn't made an unmanned probe in... ..decades? They just don't...

    We're Livestreaming the New D&D Starter Set

    Indeed it was rather enjoyable. Always wanted to give D&D a go, but never knew enough other people who were interested in it. The chat during the broadcast was quite useful on that front as well, and I'd love to see more of this in the future.

    Zero Punctuation: Tomodachi Life - Nintendo Life Simulator

    I'm sorry, I know we are supposed to be having a constructive debate about the issues raised. But seriously, am I the only person weirded out by Mr Penis face having a tongue - that comes out of his face penis?

    Forza Horizon 2 Preview - More Freedom, Fun and Beauty

    Prity much the same reaction here, the Forza games are horrible for this. Plus Horizon wasn't even close to a racing sim, at least the main series make an attempt to be realistic.

    Sony Wants Your Suggestions to Improve PlayStation 4

    Dear Sony. Please get somebody to make a decent GTA clone, or better yet sweet talk Rockstar into doing it, for the Vita. I will then happily buy one, because seriously, I love having a decent GTA like game on a portable device. If you can then convince Polyphony to make a version of Gran...

    George R.R. Martin Uses WordStar 4.0 DOS To Kill Game of Thrones Characters

    Huh, weird. I actually do something similar to that when I'm writing, not quite as extreme as Mr Martin thankfully! Wrote my first novel attempt on an old iMac I'd salvaged and brought back to life, on the principle that it was too old for me to distract myself with games or youtube. Worked...
