This kind of brutally coarse proto-industrial music is a guilty pleasure of mine: Not following the music scene closely at all, I was glad to discover HAIM and CHVRCHES by some random TV channel surfing.

About the Steam Box, I don't see what could their pathway to success be. The N?1 target audience of Steam is made of people who have a gaming PC and therefor will have very little interest in a Steam Box. So they need to convince non PC gamers to jump on board, but how are they going to do that...

People with $100+ fighting sticks are a niche within a niche and on top of that there is no fighting game currently announced for the PS4! Talk about low priority!

Sony fail at 'nickel and dime'ing since they intend to make the existing headsets compatible and pack a headset with the PS4. Also they don't manufacture nor sell fighting sticks... In the long list of things they need and/or want to do with the system's OS, compatibility with these headsets...

The daughter is the second best character in the show. The best character, as we all know, is soon to star in a spin-off:

While it is not illegitimate to start a thread about it in Other Games, there is already one in the tech forum:Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset

I wonder why I could not stop them. On the topic: how would you go about creating your own religion? Would you start from scratch and back your wild claims somehow, make some modification to an existing religion and add new revelations to it or what?

Hong Kong has a number of horror comedies many of which are hilarious, provided you enjoy this type of humor. Mr Vampire We Are Going To Eat You Chinese Ghost Story Come to mind

I suspect the point of this beta phase is to test the network infrastructure, so the ability of the testers is irrelevant. Testing the actual gameplay and balance was/is probably done in house or with, as you suggested, a few handpicked elite players (most likely all of them from Japan).

To the best of my knowledge, multiplayer requires the premium service. I don't even think publishers can opt out of it and offer free multiplayer.

Several US versions are up on eBay and they are $140ish. Maybe it's the japanese version that is expensive?

Utnayan and you are being extremely dishonest with that one or have very little grasp of arithmetic. For shit and giggles, I removed from the list all the titles I did not know and then all the titles made in Japan (no matter their aesthetic, so I removed games like Gran Turismo and Demon's...

You will notice that when games reach such an extravagant price on eBay it has to do with rarity and not quality. Great games hardly get above 2 times their original value.

Of all the fucked up things in Russia you pick night clubs for children?

I don't think it was a 'making sense' issue but rather a 'focus groups don't like the ending' issue.

Marlo is terrifying because he is emblematic of the hopelessness of the situation. The Avons, Stringers and Prop' Joes of the world, they felt rejected by society and decided to build their own parallel society in which they could thrive. Marlo does not care about any society. He only plays by...

The show is no masterpiece, but it's pleasant enough and has the courtesy of not taking itself too seriously.

Capturing the players' reactions to this with Kinect/PSEye would be the best ever use of the devices!

I don't have a first hand experience of this, but don't game stores in the US hold open tables every now and again that would be perfectly suited for D&D initiation?

The lack of a Godzilla anime or manga is an interesting enigma... to solve it properly, some research would be needed, but if I had to guess, I would say it might be a structural thing. Giant monsters movies are at their heights from the '50s to the '70s and it's an era when japanese studios are...

The only thing that felt wrong is that the boyfriend is played by the same actor than the wannabe serial killer in the last season of Dexter!

hah!

I can't say for sure.

I think everyone took notice of her scene stealing part in 500 Days of Summer and she backed up that performance with the american remake of Let Me In, making her one of the teenager to hire. Then you shoot for Burton and Scorcese... I suspect the agent's job is no longer getting parts, but...

He mentioned the doctors looking for a blood clot or something... unless I am mixing two different occurrences, I am pretty sure my father had severe chest pains and trouble breathing and it turned up to be a pulmonary edema caused by a blood clot. That's lethal when not treated fast enough...

It should be noted that the european PS4 and XB1 will have a european BluRay player which will prevent you from watching most BluRay movies bought in the US.

For the record: comparing oil painting with woodblock printing is pretty dumb. On top of that, three things: 1) the japanese technique of polychromatic woodblock printing was unparalleled. 2) The particular example is a caricature of a famous actor meant for mass consumption, so that's pop...

Strange case of life imitating art with two AQ officers falling at the same time!

Of course you have some examples at hand?

Pretty much that.

I wonder why conspiracy theorists have such a difficulty with facts. You don't need much conspiracy theories to understand why Hitler and Stalin have been nominated for a Nobel peace price, you just need to know how the nomination process works:

Being the best Wii U game is, sadly, a bit like winning the special olympics at the moment.

I bought my NES with Wizard & Warriors. I bought by imported GameBoy with Cosmo Tank! Now that's an obscure gem! It's the poor man's Guardian Legend with a bit of first person tile based dungeon.

"Re-engineering" The Last Guardian? I wonder what it means... I hope it will not end up being a PS3.5 game, as in a PS3 game upgraded to PS4 without making new assets.

In Demon's Souls, most healing miracles were a bit meh because you had almost infinite heals with herbs. There was a regen that was ok for poisonous areas, a powerful pbaoe of limited use in PvE, a miracles to prevent spell casting... miracles were more of a roleplay and/or PvP thing. A kind of...

Never been a Genesis guy, but isn't it out-shined by games such as Dynamite Heady, Castle of Illusion or Quackshot? As for obscure favorites... I'll mention Skyblazer, a very fun action/platforming game on SNES with a very original indian fantasy setting. And then I'll put my super hipster...

If the US and the EU versions are both cut in different ways, maybe Japan will provide us the full experience.

It may have something to do with the fact these reviews are written by video games reviewers...

Most Yonex shoes are what they call "Ergoshape", a fancy word for "a bit wider in the front", and that's why I go for them. I don't believe it's wide enough for 6E though as a little google-fu mentioned a wider model at 4E. NB: Some of their recent shoes are what they call "Quatrofit", which...

The guy directed almost 50 movies, so I doubt even himself likes them all! By the same logic, if you love one of Allen's movies, it's unlikely that you will not find another 5 or 6 you also enjoy.
