Well this is a good move for competitiveness, but it fucks day one adopters AND castrates Kinect integration since every title will have to make everything to do with the Kinect optional like with the 360. On the contrary the better motion sensors and little speakers in the DualShock seem to...

The people complaining on Twitter about Constantine being blond and not Keanu need to be smacked

Well this is promising... this is for NBC? I wouldn't have thought they had it in them

So me and my steady group decided to finally do Hellfire Ring and made a bunch of machines. End result was one guy with all 4 pieces, me with 2, one guy got 1 and the final guy nothing at all. Entirely reasonable given RNG and Torment level (iv) but really kinda sucky from the perspective of...

Mistborn was the first Sanderson for me and I was instantly pulled into it. The standalone followup (not part of the official trilogy of trilogies) Allow of Law is just damn fun.

I tried watching Episode II again on Sunday and I just couldn't... Heyden Christiansen is so cringe inducing I had to turn the damn thing off. I wish they could go back and get the Clone Wars crew to animate Episodes I-III and use those voice actors. Animated Anakin was a much much better...

Yes. This feedback has been given ad nauseum and I even got the balls to mention it in person at PAX to some producer type person. His response was something on the lines of "yeah we know, but you only ever see it once and we wanted to ease people into the game who had never played an MMO" I...

I wonder if they will be smart and use Agent Carter in the same timeslot as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and just tag-team between the two like they originally planned with the second Once Upon a Time?

I love going into public games and having someone ask me why Im not using X item with my build. As if I had that item sitting in my stash and I'm just using scrub no-effect lego in that slot because I'm a masochist. It also seems to me that Crusaders seem to have the most gear dependent...

I'm still sticking with Inhumans and they can just use the terrigen mist / Kree connection to explain away people who get superpowers and thus conveniently avoid the whole Scarlet Witch / Quicksilver background.

Felicity is headed down the Oracle path since Barbara Gordon is both off limits and also tied up in Batgirl stuff again, so I think she will be kept around both for Flash and Arrow and evolve into the super info broker. I'm a little annoyed that Brother Blood got taken out like a bitch and...

CW did indeed pick up The Flash for this coming Fall. This isn't much of a surprise, but worth noting.

I love the people who bitch in /trial about how what they do is part of the game and 'fuck all carebears' and then whine incessantly if they get a sentence over 15 mins

The promo refers to next week as the Season Finale and not Series Finale... so I think its almost certain that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will continue in at least some form.

Hmm your build has me a bit puzzled. You look like everything you are doing is Fire, but dont you want diversity in attacks to maximize the Tal Rasha proc and get all 4 meteors every 8 seconds?

So the buddy I play with has managed to get some very nice Wizard pieces and now has a paperdoll damage >1M and is dropping meteors all over the place. As a result we've been running on Torment 3 and doing fairly well, but mostly because he's carrying me as I still run around with absolutely...

Bette Kane is an interesting choice. I suppose they could use her to pull in a vigilante 'hero' while Bruce is still a kid if they want to go in that direction. They probably should have used Kate Kane, but then they'd have to go all-in since she's now very established as a lesbian. I would...

It makes perfect sense given the numbers they are posting for the 1st quarter. History has shown that WoW players are sheeple and won't cancel their accounts even if they have ZERO new content for a year. In fact they lost as many subscribers during quarters that they introduced content as...

Activision's $500 Million Bet On 'Destiny' Is Far From A Sure Thing - Forbes People are guessing that it includes the budget for 10 years of sequels, but there is no proof either way.

That was the entire theme of the interview they did... that it is a truly insane budget for any game and a BIG gamble on a new ip. They intend nothing less than for it to be their next major franchise and pull in Skylanders/WoW type of annual business.

They made no indication that was for 10 years, in fact their own PR people seem to indicate that is the marketing and development budget for the singular Destiny title to be released later this year.

The problem is that WoW started Cataclysm with 12 million subscribers and dropped to 9 million by the end, then MoP came along with 10million subscribers and now is down to 7.6 million so will likely hit ~7 million by the time 6.0 comes out. So all the really cool things they did in MoP...

So Kotick revealed last week and since confirmed with Reuters that the total development and marketing budget for Destiny is ~$500 million. This really does seem like a ludicrous budget for a new ip especially given the rather lukewarm reception their media day received. Have we entered...

Their "everyone gets an Heirloom Weapon!" note from the 6.0 patch news is a blatant cash grab to pull in subscribers to re-up at 6.0 rather than wait for WoD. It will also be a good test if people are willing or able to make the jump from LFR to Group Finder normal since it's about as big a...

So Bruce is ~10-15 years younger than all the classic villains? The other GCPD comic series was an interesting take on a crime procedural set in Gotham City... I think this is more interesting to the overall public than such a show would be, but I'm not sure how well 'lite' versions of the...

The social dynamic on the single server so far is very interesting. I get the feeling there are more Eastern players than Western, but more importantly the East has a lot more cohesion to its Alliance whereas the West treats the game as open world PVP exclusively against their own faction...

Combos are really one of the major factors that lend to viable builds, without the synergistic interactions of abilities you would just end up with some blah flavor-of-the-month tank mage. That having been said I really feel they drop the ball somewhat in terms of cross-tree synergies. I was...

Their stated rationale is very sound from the perspective of raiders feeling like they need to do LFR. It is complete insanity from a business standpoint of trying to engage the maximum number of paying customers. That statement indicates that they KNOW what role LFR has in the lives of their...

Electro was a dipshit in a yellow and green costume with a lightning bolt peacock on his forehead... They did a lot of work to make him into something really threatening.

I'm Exxe a cat healer on the East and Qhue a human sorc in the West

One of the most interesting things I saw at PAXEast this year was Grey Goo. I was holding off posting anything about it that day because there was pretty much ZERO useful media or information on their website :Grey Goo - Welcome to Grey Gooand there STILL isnt a hell of a lot. They had looping...

Oh Francis, what have you done?!?

Die Ward DIE! They should do a cross-promotion with 7-11 offering Shield and Hydra cups. If more Shield get sold then Ward dies, if more Hydra then Ward lives and stays for season 2.

The thing is that people for whom LFR was endgame do not go to the Blizzard forums, they don't go to Blizzcon or even PAX. They don't go to MMOchampion, hell they probably don't even read Kotaku or Polygon. I had a few buddies who tried and enjoyed WoW before and during the Cataclysm era who...

People who play LFR as their endgame do so because they don't have the time or remaining connections to do Normal raiding. Massively increasing the drop rate while also making the items less desired actively encourages customers in that category to cancel their subscription. Cool effects from...

I kinda wondered if that was the case. In that event many of those 'tried and true' builds may be less than satisfactory because they hinge on interdependent abilities that no longer function in the same way. In other news I seem to spend far too much time playing with my garden as opposed...

It will be interesting to see how dynamics change in the game once every calling can take on each of the basic roles (tank, heal, dps, support). I find the concept of the physician to be the most amusing with shooting people with drug filled healing arrows.

I cant tell if the NA Alpha version is different or if the translations are just terrible. Many of the abilities in game don't have the same combos / descriptions as listed on those 'build' sites.

This is a bad idea. LFR with decent but lower powered rewards was fun and entertaining and kept me subscribed to the game for a year even though I had no active guild. A few buddies of mine did the same and one even started playing for the first time and went all the way up to doing SoO in...
