Don't take my 3) so literally! I used heart attack for the hyperbole, but my question really is: how do they propose to allow the real world to contact the VR player without it being a shock? A 'dinner time' remote? Using the motion tracking camera to warn the VR player when something else than...

As a septic, I have some questions for the optimists. I am a septic about the technology and about the content, but for today let's just focus on usability. Three questions: 1) Multi-tasking: I don't know about you, but it is extremely rare these days that I play a game and do nothing else...

I can't say I remember ever seeing that before. There have been tournaments with a lot of injured or sick players, but both semi final not being played? I never saw that and checking some articles, no one mentioned an earlier occurrence. On a more positive note, but not less surprising...

***WARNING MOVIE NERD PUN AHEAD*** I see you like cake. Or that, at the very least, you don't like Pi.

In what I believe must be a (regrettable) first, no semi final was played today. Nishikori withdrew because of a left groin injury (once again stringing victories proves too straining for him) and Berdych is sick. We get a modern classic: Nadal vs Djokovic in the final.

Both games are also available bundled with a console so the standalone game targets people who already have the machine to play it and there are more PS4 owners than XB1 owners, so this can explain that. With the Titanfall bundle being priced aggressively, I would not be surprised if it sold...

Top two quarters are done: Berdych was just a tad too consistent for Dolgopolov. Nadal outlasted Raonic in three sets. I must say I found Raonic's game a lot more watchable than usual, with more variations and a broader array of shots. It's possible that the quality of the opposition...

That depends what the criteria for clutch is. If you narrow it down too much, the sample size is just too small to mean anything. If you widen it to 'points in the fourth quarter' didn't James just had a stretch of like 5 games where he scored 8 points in these five fourth quarters combined?

Soon to be a giant himself I am sure if he manages to stay healthy. We knew the forehand and court coverage were world class, but he showed how precise his serve has become, how effective he can be at the net and how venomous his backhand cross court can be. Not only when taking it early to turn...

Supposedly Trier split it in two parts a bit reluctantly for the theater release. On BluRay it should be a another cut that merges the two parts into the one film he had in mind originally. I am waiting for that version.

Initially it was supposed to be current gen retail $40, current gen digital $30, last gen retail $30, last gen digital $20, but popular pressure brought current gen retail to $30.

Miami has now a losing record against the Pacers and the Nets so it's a bit unfair to those teams to say the Heat overwhelmingly dominate the East.

That MGSV paid preview thing sold dramatically more on PS4 than on PS3 which is pretty crazy when you consider the difference in installed base. InFamous, as expected, is not as big as Titanfall, but it also pushed a lot of consoles. Well... considering it's still very much in demand, I...

The bottom two quarters were played today: The Murray vs Djokovic match was a very tight affair. As often with these two, we got a number of very athletic rallies where one wonder why someone is not trying something (the answer generally coming when someone follows a brilliant shot to the net...

Is there like a one week break between the end of the regular season and the play-offs or does it start immediately?

Raymond Chow is the name of the 85 years old head of Golden Harvest, a Hong Kong movie studio that is notably behind the rise to stardom of the likes of John Woo and Jackie Chan. So it could have been a name used as an Easter egg in Sleeping Dogs!

If they do that, I hope they go all the way and make it region free.

Or when Naughty Dog announces a PC version of one of their games!

We have our quarters! Nadalplayed great tennis so easily disposed of a slightly injured Fognini who had too few moments of brilliance to get anything out of the match. vs Raonicbeat veteran Becker. The canadian has a shot at winning, especially in a best of three sets match, but I would...

Wasn't this game supposed to be a bit lame in the end? A bit tedious as in 'secrets everywhere but arrows pointing at them' tedious? PS: This topic is like a general video game news feed with a console war flavor, so splitting it would make a lot of little news homeless.

Araxen faster than Tad on that one.

When I read this facebook buy occulus rift thing I was 100% sure it was an april's fool joke published early for effect, but it does seem legit. First known effect: No more Minecraft for Occulus Rift.

Top seeds all won in the top half, so we have our round of 16: Nadal vs Fognini: the italian almost rolled over his ankle at the start of his match. While hot, it did not bother him, but it might be a problem tomorrow. Raonic vs Becker: tennis will lose once again. Wawrinka vs...

I win by playing just the once!

That's very intriguing... the idea is a great one. Sadly I don't think my old machine can run it :/

On that space sci-fi topic, any one of you ever read some of Iain M. Banks books fromThe Culture serie? Or some John Varley? I enjoyed The Golden Globe by Varley but I understand that a space-comedy centered on a Shakespearean actor on the run across the solar system might not be representative...

My opinion is that anything artificially designed to be collected is not worth collecting.

The bottom half of the draw played today. Federer, Gasquet, Ferrer, Murray and surprisingly Robredo cruised through to join Djokovic in the round of 16. Tsonga found himself a set down and 5-1 down in the breaker of the second against Baghdatis, but help by some serious brain cramping from his...

This topic makes me realize I don't really have a favorite sport team. I am a fan of some players, of some coaches, so if they move around so does my support. National teams are a bit different: some great runs or valiant efforts in the past ensure my support. I'll always cheer for the South...

MIAMI! Ferrer is back, Del Potro is not (left wrist still bothering him), Haas also has shoulder problems (let's hope it will get sorted sooner rather than later so he can at least play the grass season). The draw after two rounds (R64): Nadal vs Istomin: Nadal, as per usual, made light...

My criteria for 'A list' would be: does someone who does not care about comics at all knows the character? With a very scientific sample size (me), Hawkeye, Black Widow, Guardians of the Galaxy are indeed not A list as I never ever heard of those before they hit the big screen (or, in the case...

Not a very good movie, but still a very interesting movie for the way it fits with the first one (since some of the events are simultaneous) and for its double links to 'history' (as told by Herodotus) and contemporary problematics.

They should also bring back this: If they can spatially match the image with the controller and track the arms, that would be pretty immersive.

Considering it uses the PS camera to track movements it might actually be pretty long.

Wireless adds latency, latency adds nausea.

These days I have been playing a 2D puzzle-platformer called Vessel (available on Steam since 2012 and PS3 just now, X360 TBA). The puzzles are based around fluids (water, lava, steam and some goo) and little creatures made out of these fluids that have basic behaviors (move toward the...

The PS4 should, in theory, be able to do that using Morpheus + Move + PS Camera (see through the eyes of a character, manipulate an object - sword, gun, racket, control the whole body). In practice, I am not sure what kind of processing power is needed for Head tracking + Move tracking + Body...

One of the least dominant performance to ever result in a 3-0! In the end, result > quality, as you live to fight another day, but this type of performances shouldn't allow them to go through the next round.
