The UK alone: more than a third of the Pal market! EDIT: Now that I think of it, since it's sold out everywhere, it's just indicative of the console allocation by SCEE. They probablly tiped the scale in favor of the UK since it's where the Xbox brand was the strongest in Europe during the...

Starting a butter face thread with Lake Bell.... That's some elaborate trolling right there.

I'll give them a pass on missing the iranian military unit, because after the explosion (which certainly alerted the unit in the first place) the single drone was pretty much focused on the iraqi border patrol and the destroyed vehicle.

65 million is a lot more than the 21 of Second Life!

I enjoyed the episode, but Javadi better shoot some more bullets if he wants to keep things under wraps, because I am sure the iranian platoon must have found it pretty fishy that iraqi border patrol got hit by missiles when engaging an Al-Qaida cell.

We are starting to get european numbers! PS4 sold 250k consoles in the first 48h in the UK, making it the most successful console launch ever (previous best was 185k for PSP, XB1 did about 150k). As a side note, to underline just how anti-Nintendo the UK still is, the PS4 already sold there more...

While we are talking about records, here is a question: Steals and blocks are counted since the mid-'70s and the only four quadruple double in the NBA happened between then and the mid-'90s, so what changed in the past 20 years for it to no longer occur? Or is it such a freak accident that...

This vibrant defense of Only God Forgives is probably more potent with the people who did not see the film considering two of the main three characters are archetypal to the extreme. That kinda works for the cop, giving him an almost supernatural aura, but it is just unbearable with the mother...

To be fair, it's far from the original Xbox that had a pant dropping price cut a couple months after release.

My initial instinct would be to say that, from a storytelling perspective, it would be a strange way to go about it if it was supposed to be a first. But again, the silent understanding and 'no fuss' policy of two weary warriors could explain this representation for a first... Wait & see?

I just read that if you use a headset on the PS4 you can use voice commands to launch games. Any truth to that? 'Playstation, [name of game] start' or something.

Are we talking in cosmological terms or in everyday life terms? How sudden and how short a time?

My understanding is that she was in contact with some "dark powers", possibly posessed by them and possibly altered in some way by them. When the ghostly mechanic tried to surprise her in the plane, she vanished, surprising him. She might have... pooooowerzzzzzzzzzz. DUN DUN DUN!

For those it may concern: I am sitting on their twitter to hear european launch numbers but no luck sofar

The value you lose by jailbreaking seems greater than the value you gain by getting access to free games when you consider that one has only so much time. I can see the appeal to have a second console and jailbreak it to have a "free sample" device though.

Trier made a single Dogme 95 film: Idiotern.

Because I am bored like that, I checked metacritics and counted some reviews: In the all time best, 37 titles are rated above 95, 12 of those are not available on PC only one is a PC exclusive (Out of the Park Baseball 2007!). It's less lopsided in 2013 as, for titles rated above 85, there are 7...

I really understood the genius of Dogme 95 when, working on the professional shoot of one of my buddies' short film, we spent half a day adjusting the lighting, putting stuff on windows to make them darker, building a ramp for an actress in order to cheat with the perspective and finding the...

7 years. Inside Man was 2006 (7.6 imdb, 86% RT, 76 Metacritic). Inside Man 2 in the works btw.

Leaving the institute of technology I was a student at because most my friends failed their first year and I suddenly felt anxious about getting stuck in a career I was not passionate about. The big mistake was not understanding that getting a paper is a key, not a cage, so I should have toughen...

I wonder how many PS4 were devoted to the european launch considering there is a long tradition of getting the short end of the stick in that regard (like the PS3 delayed 4 months at the last minute). These youTube clips in Germany that have Media Markt with 20ish consoles makes me wonder...

I am not a huge soccer fan, so my celebration started and ended with some harmless gloating in this thread! Die hard Basel fans I am sure know how to celebrate: the city is the home of the biggest carnival of the country. In a typically swiss way, the newspaper articles were 30% 'wuwu Basel...

Switzerland during WWII is a complicated topic, but it certainly was not invaded (mainly because it was not attacked!).

Some pop-rock for Kreugen's dispair! To add insult to injury I landed on it because I heard another of their tune in a romantic comedy! And while I am at it, this one's for balroc:

It's a very popular serie of virtual girlfriend games that started on the DS. There is a number of japanese courting video games where you win when you get the girl (or more exactly: one of the girls), but the original idea behind LovePlus is that the meat of the game is what happens after that...

While it is not totally wrong, it should be mentioned that Sony had been involved in video games for a while before the PlayStation. Notably, they were among the first to make MSX computers in the early '80s (think Japanese version of the C64, so a very game oriented 8-bit computer). Amusingly...

This guy is insane or is a con artist. I mean he cannot not realize after the 20 minutes it took him to record this demo that no one in the known universe will play a 2 hours game session with this thing. End result: the only markets are amusement parks, arcades and non-game applications...

Basel: the bane of EPL sides! 6 points against Chelsea, but watch them get knocked out by winning 2 points against Bucharest and none against Schalke!

The $75 of the Kinect is included in the $471. XB1's ESRAM on the die boosts the CPU price, but the PS4's faster RAM is more expensive as is its GPU, so I am not too sure where the extra cost of the XB1 comes from. Possibly from components related to the video in (connectors, decompression units).

It's a multiple choice poll, so only the 'none of the above' number is affected by the addition of the PC options.

Chain posting wuwu... Searching for sales number of key franchises earlier, I noticed VGChartz has now a category for pre-ordered games in the US. I am not sure how reliable this data is, but it has the PS4 versions of Watch Dogs and Destiny at about 150% of the XB1 versions (and waaaay ahead...

About music games: I think they had a multidimensional problem with no obvious solution. One dimension is the gameplay: very difficult to make it evolve from a game to the next. Another dimension is the track list: people don't want to buy the same songs over and over after each new game...

I am really not sure the money they would make in additional game sales would beat the money they make on hardware sales and licensing fees.

A long way yes, but it wouldn't instantly make her forgive him. He still was a terrorist at some point and still fled after the bombing. In both occasions, Dana could legitimately feel like her father acted without considering the impact it would have on his family, even if he had reasons and...

Answering this question proved a little more complicated than expected. PS4 launched in Canada and the United States and is launching this Friday in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal...

I read there is a comet visible these days that is getting near the sun. Some of you guys with telescopes took some pictures of it?

Played the demo of this and I was shocked at how ugly (I understand it's a 3DS port, but the problem here is art direction, not poly count) and poorly animated it was and how terrible the friction was (the feel of connecting with the enemies with the attacks, the feel of the weight of the...

On a side note, I tried the PSN demo of Mirror of Fate (so the HD port of the 3DS game) and I found it to be shockingly craptacular in just about every aspect. I was surprised to see it at around 70% on metacritics. EDIT: Oh there is a topic dedicated to it... nm...

I assume it must be 10ish percent at most (what does Google Analytics say?), but it's true it might have an impact on the 'buy PS4 soon' category (maybe 7 or 8 votes that otherwise would be 'own' votes).
