You would be right if the device was only a camera plugged to the internet, but it's a camera plugged to a processing unit that ships with algorithms to identify people, vectorize their limbs, detect their heart rate and decipher their speech (among other things). It's a bit too much for...

Well... you can fight the NSA with a multi-plug.

I just played Thomas Was Alone, a minimalist platformer with a somewhat amusing narrative slapped on top. The core gameplay idea here is that you get to control different characters that have different abilities and shape and they need to help each other out to go through the levels. It was...

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I think people realize a $100 isn't a huge deal when you consider the lifespan of a console. That being said, you still need a strong argument as to why there is a price difference. The problem here for Microsoft is two fold: 1) the core feature is weaker than its competition 2) some secondary...

Does the X180 allow you to play when the Kinect is facing a wall though?

I understand why they did it. What I don't understand is how their initial DRM plan could have been devised without realizing beforehand that it would lead to an epic catastrophe. It's not like the reception was not as good as expected: they got demolished. So any kind of survey / focus group /...

Comparing totals when the people involved did not play the same number of games is indeed a "different way" to use stats. At best it's the wrong way, at worst the dishonest way.

I must say I am surprised about the 180. I found their (now defunct) DRM policies to be extremely stupid, offensive even, but I assumed they knew something we didn't know. I assumed they did some marketing research and that it showed the DRM policies did not hinder the mass appeal of the...

An adjustment to previously posted chart for it to make mathematical sense (sorting by field goal per game instead of by field goal total):

In all fairness, James also had at least three super bad plays at the end of the 4th, two resulting in turn overs and one resulting in a Bosh rebound for the Allen three. If Bosh and Allen did not send the game into overtime, suddenly James would be the guy who hero-balled his way to defeat...

He scored a couple tough baskets in the 4th. Only Parker and Leonard can also say that (but his lack of good defense hurt). As for Ginobili, he still managed to find his way to the free throw line several times late in the game. The problem really is that once they started double teaming...

It will be tough for game 7 to be more thrilling that game 6... I fear a Spurs meltdown.

Duncan stuck at 30 for 956976 minutes now...

If the Heat win tonight and game seven, Leonard will not sleep for a week over that missed free throw.

There is poetic justice in Ginobili shooting these free throws

WTF Parker??? Fade away long three, steal, fast 2 pts... Someone showed up for money time!

Someone other than Duncan needs to step up for the Spurs or they are cooked.

One of the best defensive sequence for the heat and that results in a three points play by Parker!

Ginobili+Green+Parker = 2 pts yet the spurs trail only by 2!

What about Mr. Brooks? I think it kinda tanked, was very good and left room for an interesting sequel. EDIT: Well apparentlyit did ok.

They are pissed off because Don both called and then found a solution without telling them about it, a solution that prevents Peggy to get credit for her work. He did the right thing, but in a bad way.

Anecdotal evidence: I went to a FNAC yesterday (a big chain of a cultural products department stores - dvds/blurays, books, video games, electronics, CDs) and they had a couple monitors showing video clips of next gen games (The Division and new Batman when I walked past). The funny thing is...

I think the main mistake here is to not have anticipated that it would be a problem and, as such, should have been presented to the boss with care and, ideally, with a solution (you should have looked for someone who would have been ok to switch schedule with you or something). Silver lining...

Pretty sure that's in Uncharted 2.

Fitting quote by Seneca in Of Providence: "A gladiator deems it a disgrace to be matched with an inferior, and knows that to win without danger is to win without glory." Though I prefer Corneille's version (my translation): "By vanquishing without peril, one triumphs without glory." PS...

For all we know, he is a Don: faked credentials but good at his job.

I have never been there so I can't say for sure, buthttp://www.jungfrau.ch/should have answers somewhere.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand Green for the kill. After four turn overs in a row in the money time the Parker move and Green's three are a relief!

I think you can blame James for that one instead of the refs.

The refs hate Diaw more than the Heat it seems!

Their defensive pugnacity keeps them ahead though.

Everybody on the Spurs showed up today. At least in this first quarter!

Unlike Microsoft's, Sony's fuckups where well spirited if you will: the console was too expensive and difficult to program, but it was because they wanted to be at the bleeding edge and gambled with the Cell and BluRay. Also, saying 'you'll want to work more to afford one' is what happens when a...

Only in the sense that it is a very secondary character that is well liked and share a similar profession (both for hire, both implying adventures that happened outside the story), but Fett does and says nothing so he really is a blank canvas for the viewer to project their fantasies, while...

Some notes on Switzerland: Not being in a wheelchair and never having to travel around with someone in a wheelchair, I might be more optimistic than realistic, but I think there are some legal obligations for things to be wheelchair accessible. The range of these obligations, I am not sure...

Nah: he has been knighted but possesses "no lands, wealth, or title" according to the HBO wiki.

My favorite character is Bronn. I am not overly worried about him, because he is written as the guy who went through everything, so he is not going to get killed by an old bearded man with a funny hat.

That's imdb-assisted knowledge though. Like... rereading my post I remember there are these two thai brothers that had several horror movie successes, the Pang brothers. That make them prime candidates for the Hollywood experience. From there it's imdb: they made several international...

For reasons unknown, Kreugen's buddies and their ilk apparently.
