Do you need PS Plus for online games? Not that I mind, but I don't have a PS3 so just curious.

Haha, people chanting Sony. It's amazing that this is the most celebrated announcement.

Boom. Headshot.

Wait, for some reason I just assumed this would be an MMORPG...

I didn't know there was an Elder Scrolls Online coming... could be good.

Watchdogs is awesome and will be bought. Looks like now we're at sports. :/

Hah, requesting help from mobile player. Awesome.

Ok, that escape was pretty cool.

T-Bone doesn't want to cramp my style...

Whoops. Yeah, flip the switch there, guys.

I think versus is the action RPG thing as opposed to the ATP/turn based?

Blame it on the cloud.

Dude needs to not clap for his own announcement, though.

They'd have me at $600 right now.

Oh nice, some gameplay footage.

Fair enough.

I'm glad I'll get to play all these games on the PS4, because no other console has the power to display those graphics.

The Dark Sorcerer... want.

ROFL

Oh wow, that tech demo looks pretty impressive.

Ok, I'll need an HD trailer of the second game. Looked blurry as hell on my 720p stream...

Sweet, thanks! Also, The Order looks like a cool new IP.

Haha, this guy is awesome. What's the music he came on stage with?

Ok, I'll grant that streaming live events is nice, assuming it's not open only to people with cable subscriptions.

They've probably put this together before this afternoon.

Wtf? Here's everything Sony does, and we'll tell you more in the future. That was a waste of two minutes.

You know, with all the video and music that Sony owns, you'd think they would have spearheaded the DRM on the console -- not Microsoft. edit: also, it'sensure, notinsure. Unless you're selling us an insurance policy.

Ok my stream is stuttering at times... this is all for the PS3 still, right?

Also, I'm not concerned with having my own online information accessed. But:Foreign Policy - The real threat behind the NSA surveillance programs(the article was behind a paywall for me, but googling for the title and clicking the link through Google worked.)

A fundamental difference between a private corporation and the government is that if a private corporation wrongs you, you can sue them and tell other people about it. They'll have to deal with the resulting PR shitstorm. If the government serves a warrant to Verizon, they're prohibited from...

Fixed that. I didn't believe it could be that bad and signed up for an account. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that they have "members-only" items that are available only to people paying $8/month. Including a fucking mining pick I got from completing part of the tutorial.

Ok, I spent two hours mining (or thumping) for resources with a group. That was really awesome -- a ring event on steroids with mobs rushing pretty much non-stop. I picked an engineer (you can switch classes at any time and your experience is class-based, so it's your class that gains exp and...

It's really quite a shame, because the combat so far is fun -- or maybe that's just reflective of my demand for a MMO shooter. Maybe I should just pick up Defiance *sigh*.

I haven't played before, so I can't comment on the state prior to open beta. However, even now there seems to be a tremendous lack of content. After the tutorial, there's just no guidance on what to do next. I presume it's mining resources to gain exp and upgrade your gear, but I have no idea...

Just started open beta and I'll say that the game has the best gathering system ever. Defending from assaults against waves of mobs and more powerful meaning equipment -> more resources -> more mobs is really a good idea. Needs to be adapted by games with actual content, however.

You just have to realize that teaching at many (and all the renowned) places is seen as a necessary evil. No professor ever got tenure because of their teaching skills -- there are incentives only for doing research. So, basically, don't do your undergrad at a research university unless you're...

Does anyone have an issue with Sickbeard preventing Windows from entering sleep mode? I've set the time to sleep to 1min and even so, it doesn't sleep unless I shut down sickbeard manually. I don't see what it'd be checking that often... I set it to search for new episodes every 45mins and...

I do that, too. Not because rumble isn't cool, but because games just tend to overuse it and every little action leads to some rumbling. It's a game controller, not a vibrator.

Doh, that makes sense. For some reason I figured those would be largely used sales, but that probably wouldn't apply beyond the US and Western Europe.

That doesn't make much sense to me, unless we're talking about purely casual games. There won't be any major titles released for the platform once the next generation hits. Even if a game ran perfectly well, who wants the kind of marketing that says "you can't run this on the new console, but it...
