    Kudos EA - Worst Company in America two years running

    Amazon never really pulled the game, it just wasn't available to purchase for a bit when it flipped from the digital limited edition to the standard. It also has been number 1 on Amazon ever since until some deals this week. Maxis said they made the game, got no forced design guidance from...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    We don't play a ton of games anymore outside of our PCs anymore and me playing some of the annual sports releases, so rumors of the next Xbox having HDMI passthrough like my GoogleTV had before I threw it in a drawer for being so god awful slow is the most interesting feature I've seen...

    There was way too much destroyed in the very first page or two, it distracts from the story when you spend half the time wondering which way they'll go about undoing it. Still annoyed Age of X turned out the way it did.

    Anyone read what he actually did to him? Just stunned + bruised or actual damage? Glad to see Bubba go, but that was brutal.

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    I expect they're being mum about next gen releases until after the next gen XBox presser where they'll probably show their entire slate for MS and then afterwards confirm which are coming to PS4 also, including this title. I'm not a big PVP/multiplayer guy, I've enjoyed the stories in several...

    3d Printing and the Future of Piracy

    I see a lot of this stuff at work. Some current and former employees got together with a few others and opened a maker space (https://synshop.org/SYN Shop) downtown. Best analogy I've ready about how to explain it to people is that it's like having a gym membership your brain. Has 3D...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Played this a little this weekend, guardian to 10, overall seems OK. Same level of interest as a few of these upcoming MMOs for the most part, just enough to get me to try betas and install any F2P clients once they're released for gaming ADD reasons.

    Star Trek Online

    I had problems with my accounts too. I got a 'user banned' message during the migration to PW from Cryptic. Didn't bother to try and get that resolved since I could still log into STO (put in my quarterly appearance for all of 30 minutes as a lifetime sucker). Neverwinter beta rolls around...

    It is Angela, from Image. Her introduction to Marvel is more like the after credits scenes in the movies and shes going to appear in a number of books over the next year. Other announced appearance is Guardians of the Galaxy #5.

    Comic Books

    One site pointed out that a couple of years ago Marvel got the rights to Marvelman / Miracleman and that maybe he could be involved. Either way, this rumor has me more interested in the story than the first 2 issues did. I told Bendis on Twitter my thought of this all being undone and just...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    I don't think delivering a forcible blow with the crown of the helmet is a very tough judgement call to make. The rule to me is reasonable, just provides that protection to all players outside the tackle box rather than just a defenseless receiver and the quarterback. Owner meetings start...

    Whatever it is I think it's all a convenient device to set up the Henry Pym of the cinematic universe. I'm not a fan of #1 and #2 at all, I'm not sure I'm even going to buy the rest (though I will anyways out of habit or some OCD 'i have the first two' compulsion). Every panel Ultron/Ultrons...

    SimCity

    I wonder what we'll see for expansion/DLC/etc... I expect a crazy amount of incremental upgrades, but I wonder if I'll be able to upgrade a 3-town region to a 5 or 10. Or how about a region that starts as 3, and as you hit milestones more claimable cities and great work spaces become available...

    SimCity

    I've played almost 20 hours the first 3 days, some people in this thread probably far exceed that. Contrary to the headlines, not being able to connect/play has been the exception not the rule. Places like Kotaku were posting 'SimCity down again' when they were bringing it down (for all of 10...

    I've played 18 hours since release, 4 of them tonight pretty much error free. Seem to get a pass through the queue much of the time if you are just re-logging, which is nice. Can only wonder how much further along my city would be if I was playing on Cheetah still.

    I think a lot of the problems have been server-specific, I've been bouncing between East and West to play w/ friends who have regions on different servers... as Kotaku is posting their emo 'looks like you won't be playing SimCity on release day' articles pandering to the anti-DRM/anti-EA crowd...

    Justice League of America

    It's probably the worst news I've heard about this movie since the release date. If they're letting Nolan run the DC cinematic universe they need to let him push back JLA a few years and follow the template Marvel laid out or they've got a good shot and just flushing hundreds of millions down...

    I just logged out after playing the last 4 or so hours without few if any problems. The server even went down for a few and it let me continue and re-connected. Early on I did have a crash to desktop, I lost maybe 10 minutes worth of OCDing oil derek placement.

    I think you just get a certain amount of things for free to share with neighbors when you hit a threshold of some services. There was some mention of this in a review or Q&A that I read, that every ambulance you have you also get a regional service ambulance or something like that. For other...

    I've only been able to play it for a couple of brief sessions during the betas and find myself poking around streams to get a fix. Tuesday can't get here soon enough. Only real scary problem I've seen is someone dropping 90% of their population (playing at fastest speed) for no real reason...

    This doesn't fix the problem you are describing about lag between switching channels in general, but there's a better solution for the 'watching 2 games' use case. Press down, it will say you're about to start Double Play. Press it again, the channel will change... now go to the second game...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    There's been a bit of discussion with the media since, this is where that came from. http://www.destructoid.com/psn-purch...--246229.phtml Sony has since clarified that they may be able to honor previous PSN purchases, but won't say if they will. Unrelated, they've said there will be no...

    So I've won our first 3 games of Twilight Imperium... game just tends to start swinging my way and nobody can stop me or someone grossly overlooks something and I win abruptly. Think a couple of my friends might kinda hate the game now as a result. It's not my fault if everyone's carriers...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    It can be matched to a degree though, if the next Xbox can stream content to any Windows 8 device for example. Not necessarily as convenient as already having a handheld in the market of course. If to edge out MS's console you have to spend a couple hundred more dollars it's only so much of...
