    Poll: Do you know the definition on gamer?

    Basically, there is no definition of the word "gamer". Based on my own experiences with the word, it appears to mean a person who plays/enjoys (video) games.

    A petition to black out Steam for an hour

    *clicks link* 4000 views. Some random person wants to start a petition, which hasn't taken off. Maybe if they'd had like 1 million + views and everyone was talking about it THEN maybe it'd be worth talking about. Because really, we shouldn't feel the need to discuss every little...

    New name for american futbol

    I guess if you're not american you probably don't have to worry so much as long as the person on the other end isn't an american. If you're in conversation with an american, the only thing they will understand as "American Football" will be "Football" or "American Football". Also, the...

    Kids react to Gameboy, people get butthurt

    From a programming perspective, the gameboy game was quite the feat to pull off. I don't care what anyone says, programming anything in assembly is NOT FUN.

    Phrases that piss you off

    It doesn't really piss me off, but it does annoy me: "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people" Can't argue with that, can you?

    Post some of your nations slang

    American: Bruh/Bro/whatever That's all I know that I'm pretty sure people in the UK and Australia don't say. My understanding is that their equivalent is "mate"

    Far Cry 4 Is "Packed to The Gills" With Women

    This implies that Far Cry 4 is a fish. That is incorrect.

    Addiction to technology

    I'm addicted to toasters. In all seriousness, nobody is "addicted to technology", except maybe the crazy people who write articles for sci/tech magazines. What you're talking about is the combination of handheld devices + internet technology. But don't worry people, in 100+...

    Why can't we get more anime films in the theaters?

    The difference is that Adam Sandler movies are American. Foreign movies will be held to a higher standard because it has to surpass the cultural barrier first. But I also stand by CasualShinji here and note that most Animes aren't actually very good by American movie standards.

    Valve bans Game Developer from Steamworks for pointing out a vulnerability

    The reason he was banned wasn't for pointing out the vulnerability, but for taking advantage of it.

    Why VR will fail

    My hypothesis is that VR will eventually succeed in mass-market appeal, beyond merely the gaming spectrum. If the process continues where more and more labor is automated, combined with the process of more and more virtual interaction (the internet, video games, etc), it seems to me that we...

    DICE Considering "Early Access" System For Battlefield

    Early Access for a AAA developer is laughable. But that's okay, because even if they did that, it would bite them in the ass so hard they'd never think about doing it again.

    Updated: NASA Shows Off Gorgeous Concept for a Real-Life Enterprise

    My point was, its very possible they could design a ship and then find out that there's no room in the current design to allow for the drive (because they didn't know the details of how it would work + how big it is). They can continue to work on the design of meeting the needs of the crew in...

    Updated: NASA Shows Off Gorgeous Concept for a Real-Life Enterprise

    How could they possibly come up with an appropriate design for a ship when they don't even have the design for the drive? It's like picking a box to hold books in, but you have no idea how exactly how many books you're actually going to be putting in it.
