I think keeping families intact would go a loooong way in helping with thug culture. But like said above, hard to do when it's been broken for so many generations. I hate to admit it, but I'm kinda racist. But what do you expect when the overwhelming majority of interactions with blacks has...

I know a lot of ppl have shooter fatigue, but god damn Titanfall looks so freaking fun.

Wasn't able to watch any of this, but did they show any OS/interface stuff at all?

I completely understand what you are saying, but I think the real problem is that the customers don't understand the reality of the business. Personally I would love to see EQ remade with today's tech, but that is only going to happen through kick starter or something similar. SOE realized that...

I think what Szlia is saying is that no one at Nintendo is capable of coming up with new ideas, That Miyamoto is the only creative force behind their IP's and he did not properly cultivate a creative legacy. I remember opening my NES Deluxe on Christmas morning and playing Mario and Duckhunt...

Exactly!!! There is potential for many many great stories out of this world.

The whole elevator shaft/generator sequence was one of the most tense i have ever been playing a vidya game. Holy crap, good stuff! Once you learn a few tricks, most of the infected become trivial. Molotov/Nail Bomb/Molotov combo will take out entire hoards of them. Its fun! I really hope...

Anything Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo or Pioneer in that price range will be more than fine. You really need to get an idea of what kind of speakers you are working with though. Generally speaking, in wall/ceiling mounted speakers are not ideal due to placement issues. Or they could be seriously high...

Yeah, i have pretty much every available platform. Laptop, Desktop, iPhone and iPad. Since getting the iPad, i have used my laptop a handful of times. I dont think its been plugged in in 2 months... Anytime i need to do any type of content creation or something that the iPad couldnt handle, i...

I actually thought you were right at first, then i started to remember walking into Babbages in the late 80's early 90's and comparing it to the toy stores. I don't remember exactly when PC gaming really started to take a big hit. I am thinking somewhere midway through the original Playstation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_of_MS-DOS_games_(C) Yeah, here is the list of just MS dos games... Not going to count it, but its pretty insane.

I'm not going to say there were more PC games in that timeframe than console games, but it was comparable at least. The SNES came out in what? Early 90's? The late 80's and all through the 90's were just insane for PC games. Babbages/EB/Software Etc were completely filled with PC titles, i dont...

Agree with Spronk on the vid card, if money is at all a concern just get something to get you by right now. I have a feeling we are going to see some changes with how PC vid cards are designed pretty soon.

Thoughts on a 8-10" full blown Win 8 tablet?

With the model MS is going for it absolutely makes sense to not launch in those markets. As said before, its an entertainment box for content delivery and im sure their pushing apps and services through XBL is their plan to monetize the system. If you cant connect to XBL, they don't want you and...

I've been using my PS3/PSN exclusively for the past few weeks, I figured I better get more comfortable with it in perpetration for next gen. While I LOVE the value of PS+, I really do find myself missing XBL for any type of multiplayer game. I just hope the PS4 OS is a vast improvement over the...

I think we will look back on Blood Dragon as one of the best ideas in gaming... Ever. Reusing an existing investment in a game, and turning it loose with a small team and tight time frame with some totally wacky ideas. Excellent!!!

Zodiac is right. Grab that sound card then start digging into some headphone forums to see what you might like. Something like this would be pretty darn perfect for just getting into good headphones. Very natural sound and don't need a lot of power...

My last few pairs of jeans have been Express for men, about 80 bucks a pop and very high quality. Their dress shirts are great too.

For a car, go drive a new Honda Accord and a new Mazda 6... Pick which one you like the best. Can get either well equipped for under 25k, and they are both very fun to drive, they blow everything in the class away in driving "feel" If you want an SUV, the new Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand...

I heard that talk was great, will def try to watch it today. All these big pubs/devs going to a single engine approach is going to pay off in spades IMO. The tools will get better and better allowing devs to really work on gameplay and content instead of building tools for every game.

Yeah, when it comes Down to it I think that $100.00 bucks is going to matter much more than specs.

I remember a few years (decades?) back a big audiophile website did a speaker wire test. Sample A was 100% pure, uncut Monster Cable brand goodness. Sample B was some cheap off the shelf speaker wire of the same gauge. Sample C was 2 metal coat hangers... Signal loss between all the samples...

CONSOLE WARS!!!! Most of us agree the PS4 is clearly the better system in just about every aspect, I still doubt we will see a significant difference in graphical performance. Especially when it comes to 3rd party games. I would love to be proven wrong though.

Haha. Whoops!

This weeks The Smoking Tire podcast has Dan Greenwalt from Forza as a quest. Most of the TST crew are car guys, not gamers, but they asked some pretty good questions and i thought it was a great episode. Yes, there is some PR speak but it is very minimal compared to most interviews i have seen...

I dont think there is a real answer to this question yet. The Oculus Rift is still so new i dont think the best control schemes have been found yet. Probably going to be a little while as people figure out what works and what doesnt. As for your cockpit idea, i have no idea! Space sims have...

Fractal cases are sexy. Mkopek list looks fine. No reason to not go Haswell at this point. And definitely get a nice monitor, 24"-30" IPS would be great for photoshop. The Dell Ultrasharps are always a good choice.

I don't even... Do you honestly think they were trying to deceive you with this video? Wow... C'mon man, its simple marketing. They are simulating what their vision of the final product will be, it is over a year from launch anyway. I am sure you will get to see real gameplay at next years E3.

Hondas are always a good choice, good driving dynamics for their class and exceptional resell/reliability. I'm a big Mazda fan, the new Mazda 6 is kicking butt in all of the comparison tests. The 2014 Mazda 3 was just revealed yesterday, it looks amazing for the segment. They also have the CX-5...

Check out Ecco. They have a great selection of styles and still trendy/fashionable. I used to be a big fan of Rockports, but for a while thier styling just got terrible. Ecco's have modern styling and hold up insanely well. And they are more comfortable than most sneakers I have tried. They...

Two questions... What is your budget, and do you give a shit about cars/driving?

Percocet is Oxycodone, which they will almost 100% test for these days... 10mg isn't much, and should be out of your system in 3 days or less (unless you are a fatty). Just in case, do you have any prescriptions to any type of opiate written in the last 2 years or so? Depending on who does your...

Haha, I loved that clip.

Ohhh I will be picking up Driveclub for sure, but it is said to be an arcade racer type. Im sure it will be fun (hope!) and it looks great, but Forza is a completely different animal.

If you just count console exclusives (no PC), I generally like the MS franchises a lot more than Sony's. Forza completely caught up to, and IMO surpassed GT this generation. Halo was a lot more fun than Resistance or Killzone, and I really liked Gears of War. Besides Metal Gear, there wasn't...

Have PS4 Battlefield bundle preordered... I will possibly pick up an Xbox for Forza 5, depending on additional info they show for it as it gets closer to launch. It looks amazing right now, but not amazing enough to justify a console for one game. I'm a car nerd so that could easily change as...

I think its funny that Sony is essentially building a next gen Xbox 360 and MS is building... something else? Quite the turn of events!

We have already gone over the civilian vs government thing many times in these threads, but for the newbies: The very moment the government uses anything more than small arms against its population, that government is done. Over. Finished. The armies of the powers that be are made up of regular...

Bioshock was in development forever with a pretty huge team. Ive read that they could have close to $150M into it after marketing. It sold pretty well, but not 150M well.
