    What Makes the Technology in Grand Theft Auto V So Great

    I've seen the game run on 360, framerate is ok when you're indoors, but when driving around it is far below what I'd consider acceptable. And that's not just because I'm used to a billion fps from pc games, even my brother, an avid 360 gamer, finds the framerate drops ridiculous.

    What Makes the Technology in Grand Theft Auto V So Great

    Oh, I'm not saying it's not doing well on more recent hardware, but the 360/PS3 version, the one that got all the awards, is basically like a slideshow when you're driving anywhere.

    What Makes the Technology in Grand Theft Auto V So Great

    Eh, it seemed to struggle quite a lot on the 360. Not seen it in action on the PS3, but the 360 version could've been made in powerpoint for the few frames it managed to squeeze out when moving around town. Not to mention pop-in that was about 5 minutes late to the party.

    Critical Miss Takes A Moment For Family Time

    What, the text under the comic? I'm guessing a reference to a song by The Decemberists, at least that's the only place where I've ever heard that sentence before. Edit: Song is 'July, July!' if memory serves

    Get Back In The Game With A Free Copy of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

    Yeah, I'd never have bothered checking the rules for this if I hadn't gotten burnt on it once already. Hiding vital information about the contest with the legalese stuff people generally don't read isn't the best way of going about it.

    Get Your Own Free Copy of Assassin's Creed Unity

    Yeah, too many giveaways around the web don't make it clear that they're only open to US residents. I got burnt on that the one time I actually won a giveaway. Sure, it says so in the rules, but a lot of people are going to assume it's just basic legalese and skip them because the internet...

    13-Foot LEGO Star Destroyer Heads to Kickstarter

    I backed this, mostly because I wanted the instructions for the small one, but also because this is a thing I would love to see actually done, even if I don't get to interact with it personally. I believe the world needs 13-foot LEGO Super Star Destroyers.

    New LEGO Star Wars Slave 1 Set Revealed

    I am buying this the moment I see it. There is no way I can walk out of a shop that has this without it.

    Intel Developing Headphones That Track Wearer's Heart Rate

    There are already earbuds on the market with hook sleeves from several different brands, so if that's what you want you don't need to wait for these. Or you could get IEMs.

    Inferior technologies that just work better than the new stuff

    Actually not real; pencils would create graphite pieces/dust flying around, potentially getting into places where it shouldn't be. I'd assume a regular ballpoint pen would do the job just fine, but the space pen is the sort of technological thing that might in and of itself not be worth it, but...

    Inferior technologies that just work better than the new stuff

    If they work better they wouldn't be inferior, would they?

    Alien: Isolation Reunites Original 1979 Alien Cast in Pre-Order Bonus - Update

    pre-order and store-exclusive bonuses? All of my interest just went out the window. Might pick it up for dirt cheap if that happens, but otherwise I think I'll pass. I just don't want to deal with all of this exclusive bullshit. Either have DLC that everyone can buy, or don't have DLC. I'd...

    How do I get my PS3 controller to work for PC?

    You get a DS4 controller and use DS4Windows or whatever it's called, amazing program that lets you avoid MotionJoy and the DS4 is better than the DS3 in pretty much every way.

    Watch_Dogs Release Day Deal: 20% Off on PC

    I was considering getting watch dogs since the price with coupon was fairly reasonable, but it wouldn't let me use it :/
