    EA to stop Online Passes

    They will draw brainpower from their "how can we charge our customers for breathing oxygen" research group to work on this new problem.

    Scenes that made you cry like a bitch

    Another anime one, the end of the Aincrad arc of Sword Art Online. Not full on weeping type moment, but it was well done as we see the Kirito and Asuna in the SAO "afterlife", then disappearing while embraced.

    Saints row 4

    Saints Row isn't for everyone. I certainly don't like every game out there, even the ones that are highly reviewed. But Saints Row had plenty for me to like: Saints Row 2, receiving a frantic call for help after you've been drugged: "Why is there a leprechaun in my phone?" "Don't worry little...

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    That's one of the fun things aboutSaint's Row: The Third. That said, I can't wait to check out the new Los Santos. And, one part I really did like about GTA IV was the "GTA Race" in multiplayer. That was fun as hell.

    I had fun watching it, but I kept hearing (Mo from WALL-E's voice), "Foreign Contaminant!" every time a drone made a sound.

    Prometheus (Alien 0) - 1 Year Later

    Now, how good or consistent a movie is may or may not have anything to do with how enjoyable it is. For example, one of my favorites is "The Pest" with John Leguizamo. It is a bad movie. Even Leguizamo has disowned it. But it is fun. It is dumb, but fun. So, for those of you who liked...

    Funny, Strange, Random Pics

    It seems that we are in another situation where we have a lot of questions (in random order) and really no good answers: Was he alive at the time of the bombing? (If not, then the entire issue of his being wrongly suspected has nothing to do with his death.) Was he killed because he was...

    Cheap PS3 game recommendations?

    Watch for a sale for Grand Theft Auto 4, Episodes from Liberty City or just "The Ballad of Gay Tony". That one is fun, but look for it cheap.

    Do any good video game movies exist?

    My jaw dropped when I saw this movie. It was the first Dabney Coleman role I had seen where he wasn't an asshole. And he was great, in two roles.

    Saints row 4

    After looking on the Saint's Row boards for the last few months, I thought I was the only one that loved SR3. To the new game publisher: I'm glad they are using SR3 resources. The motion is damn near perfect, and the visuals of the people are a good mix of cartoony and real without being...

    The Matrix (1999)

    New crazy theory! Well, new to me. Humans are kept alive because the machines need a source of bad decisions to give them purpose, direction, and a sense of superiority. They tried it with humans disconnected as a test and almost self-destructed.

    Tomb Raider (X360/PS3/PC)

    I don't know the capabilities of the radeon 6950 (current pricing seems to indicate it is pretty good), but I am running it just fine with a core2duo and 2gb ram with a nVidia 660, so you ought to do ok.

    Animated movies that surprised you

    The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I saw it subtitled. Not sure if dubbed will be as good. The Emperor's New Groove surprised me. The trailer made the whole movie look like stupid crap but it was funny with a decent story, interesting characters. And right at the ending, when Emperor Kuzco...

    Recommend a console game.

    Saint's Row: The Third. It has no real storyline to speak of. It is still a little buggy, and the main city is not very large. But if you don't mind some sillyness, it is more fun than a barrel of Mandrill Baboons.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    After the whole "Take one extra step and you fail the mission mechanic", I might hold off on any further Assassin's Creed titles for awhile. Don't get me wrong, fist fighting Pope Alexander VI (in AC2) was one of the highlights of any video game I have ever played, but the horrible bugs in AC3...

    When I learned to fly seaplanes, my instructor explains the takeoff: "We open the throttle, lift up the water rudders (maybe these first two are reversed. It's been awhile), increase speed, ride up on the water bubble that forms in front of us, then move to the top of it and hydroplane." At...

    Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

    She came back in Machete as well. I was enjoying 5 until the vault/cars part. I couldn't suspend disbelief for that part. The rest of the movie, before and after that part, was good.

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    It is less important for me that is takes place in "Los Angeles" since they will change everything again. Whatever memory I have from GTA:SA will be useless. More important is the fun factor. GTA:IV was sorta fun with a lot of depressing crap. GTA:IV:TLATD was also kinda depressing...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Another benefit with a Carol Danvers movie would be a sequel where Rogue takes care of Ms. Marvel's unfinished business because of the stolen memories and powers. There was a comic book where Rogue broke into SHIELD's flying carrier to bust out one of Ms. Marvel's friends. He was oddly not too...

    Computer Issues

    There was a similar problem with (old) Toshiba laptops at a prior job. The touchpad and speakers were not insulated and touching either one could (randomly) cause a shutdown or reboot. Try to re-insulate the touchpad and see if that helps.
