    Blizzard Cancels Ambitious Titan MMO After Seven Years

    I think it's funny that Blizzard can say out loud that they created World of Warcraft when the majority of the major players involved in the creation of that game are long gone. It's even worse that they continue to hang their hats on it. Does Blizzard have nothing new to stand on?

    Feed Dump: The Ghost of Sexual Relations Past

    See now I have to go and watch Black Books all over again... while eating a ham sandwich... with a pickle.

    Feed Dump: Hewlett Packard's Penis App

    Does it say something that the Epson joke had me in tears? It may not all have been from laughter in hindsight.

    The Big Picture: The Fall of Kevin Smith, Part III

    I don't think we can say Black has fallen. I mean he was first pick for the new Weird Al video "Tacky" and he pulled off Jack Black as a brand pretty well. Maybe he's just not what people of a certain age watch anymore?

    GameStop Wants to Snag Exclusive Gameplay as Preorder Bonuses

    This kind of behaviour is why I stopped shopping through Gamestop and went exclusively to digital purchases. Holding content hostage to a retailer is just another thing that's wrong with videogame retail...

    The Big Picture: The Fall of Kevin Smith

    As someone who worked at a convenience store next door to a video rental place this was something of a hazing ritual for every employee. For many of us teens with low income jobs in the 90s Clerks spoke directly to our demo. It wasn't a rose tinted Secret of My Success kind of story, it was...

    NBC Cancels Community

    Really they cancelled it after Season 3 when the network caved to Chevy Chase and got rid of showrunner Dan Harmon. Season 4 knocked a lot of regular viewers off the show and Season 5 wasn't really powerful enough to get those eyeballs back.

    You should totally gone with Dollhouse for your all the resources example. It would totally have put a bow on your argument. captcha: "way to go donny!"

    Xbox One's Frame Rate: Kid Rejected, Mother Approved

    In all honesty if you use the app correctly you can't tell the difference if you turn off the forced motion blur effect. To check yourself try first reversing the 60 and 30 FPS. Now turn off the "normal" motion blur setting to "none". Switch the balls to spheres. No difference at any...

    The Big Picture: Waterworks - Darren Aronofsky's Noah

    As with any consumable item I purchase it's not always the quality of the item I feel the need to question but the organizations who profit off these items. Conflict Diamonds might have extremely high quality but you should still avoid purchasing them when possible. In this case, with...

    Sony, Panasonic Reveal "Archival Disc," 300GB to 1TB Optical Disc

    The way they keep on updating formats and never state the life expectancy of their disk formats I'm disinclined to invest in any "new format" disk as an archival system. As stated above, mag tape is still the gold standard and movement to digital distribution makes needing large capacity...

    EA: Battlefield 4's Problematic Launch Didn't "Damage" the Franchise

    You never see franchise damage until the release AFTER the disaster. There were too many game sales (which likely half caused the problem) for the losses to be considered damaging. I strongly doubt you will see such strong sales from the next BF product. At least not right away until...

    You Never Move Your Settler! - Opening Strategy Splits Civ V Studio

    I think it depends largely on your early strategy and build order. If you're playing on a larger map it pays to get scouts up and running even a single turn earlier just to cap those free villages. If you're playing as Shoshone it's even more important. However running a 3 city strategy for...
