YYou can customize your looks after creation?
I already have the widest possible hips, the narrowest possible waist, the biggest possible hooters, the thickest possible lips, and the sexiest Leia slave girl metal bikini.
So...now what? |

Being a fan of Republic Commando, I'm interested to see if this is the direction DICE will take since fps/action is their bread and butter.

"I would go into a room to get something, and by the time I got there I'd forget what I was looking for," says Alex Pang, a Stanford University technologist who'd barely turned 40 when he began to feel that life online was melting his brain.
It's called "getting older". I'm sure online surfing is causing your joints to start aching a little bit here and there, too. |

That flying car looks really cool, but I have no idea how that design generates the lift to fly without those lift props.
From the end of plane-based cars in the 50s, to today, the only real contender was something ironically similar to todays hexacopter toys and drones. It had 6 (8?) horizontal fans around the body, with the intent to give redundant safe lift. It was estimated to cost about $100k mass produced. It worked but never seemed to go anywhere even though the guy pushed it for decades. |

You guys would have hated it in the 70s -- one, government-granted monopoly on phone, and one, government-granted monopoly on cable, based on the theory that "this city ain't big enuf fer two cable companies", a notion of the far left, and one that some around here would no doubt would have rubbed their chins and agreed with.
You had to pay extra for your phone, and didn't even have the choice of buying your own.
Now here we are 40 years later. A victory for choice. Good. Let that socialist command-and-control stuff lay dead and buried, while people memetically attack it the way they used to support it. |

I know absolutely nothing about Elder Scrolls Online, so, at the high risk of making a complete fool out of myself, here goes:
Is it a game with a tough guy with a wet noodle in his hand and a magic power to make monsters attack him, while a healer and caster pew pew heals and damage?
Oh god, what if I'm wrong? I will be so embarassed. |

LoL do you know any other MMO that 10 years after it came out is still getting BIGGER with more and more subscribers ?
from 350k it went to HALF a million now...
YES is a niche market but the people playing are hard core...
EvE is not for 10 year old COD kids 
Says who? CCP? Yeah, because they've never lied or cheated before. I'd be amazed if they even had an actual 50k persistent subscribers. And no, it's not for 10 year old COD kids. It's for 10 year old griefers who think the height of entertainment is trying to ruin everyone elses fun. When these comics fail to move and this TV show gets canceled after its failed pilot you'll see.
Thar's a fair description. People in 0.0 space will see someone from their own coalition, log on their alts from an enemy one, and go jump them.
This is not the same thing as legitimate conflict as you try to sneak through dangerous space, running into a warp scrambler in line-of-sight warping between stargates, or having a chance encounter with a bunch of reds. It:s pure griefing. |

lack of publisher oversight
What's the problem with this one?
They apparently made a game the publisher didn't like...
That either means they're way behind with just smoke and mirrors, or the design isn't actiony enough.
I'll go out on a limb and hypothesize the problem is not that it's not Thiefy enough.

While I agree it is a silly commercial it did what it was supposed to, put the product into your head.
No, it puts the product into your head in a negative way so you're less inclined to want one. Wtf do a bunch of breakdancing 20 somthings with bad clothes and hair have to do with a device that applies to me and my life? Zero. Less than zero actually. I'd be fucking embarrassed to be associated with said product after that. I can just see people seeing it and then asking you if youu have to breakdance in order to use it. There is bad publicity.
Hah! The ad failed then. I saw a laptop in my peripheral vision while some guy was one-arm hopping across a business meeting desk, so I knew it was a laptop ad, but for what who cares?
If I buy it will I become a good looking, in-shape man with black hair and 5-day short beard who gets the babes or will I use it to curl up on the sofa, rocketting even faster to a lonely, early death from heart disease? |

I wonder what other carriers are trying to jack AT&T -- they should be big enough to force a mutual exchange concession. Other countries with government monopolies, maybe.
As for the other listed reason, some munincipalities outlaw cell towers then charge 4x the going rate to rent spots on their police towers. I don't know if that's the case here but NIMBY types should look in the mirror maybe.
I'd like more details. One of the other "mysterious fees" was phone companies making you pay for their regulatory burden to call it out into voters' faces. |

After reading the SW power changes, does anybody actually like that kind of gameplay?
"If you use this power and that other power is active and monster has one stack of X, then you get one stack of Y which gives you 1.5% damage reduction for 15s, stackable up to 3 times?"
Review the game that was made, not the one you think should have been made, sure, but I miss good old fashioned, straight-forward damage, buffing, and debuffing, and stats which directly affected it.
I guess I'm a small minority, and that's why City of Heroes is gone and stuff like this, WoW, and Champions Online, which also does this, are still around. |

They could reward players for acting rationally when outnumbered—hide, flee, or die. Shooters could, when appropriate, encourage problem-solving and exploration over brute force
Then why are games that did this, like Tomb Raider, moving in the opposite direction by dropping that and becoming ever-more button-mash shootfests? And console-stye ones at that? |

Can I use a mouse and keyboard in 3D games? Or am I limited to a console controller, which is like limiting a surgeon to boxing gloves?
Ah, who am I kidding? Even with mouse, you're still limited to a handful of powers and CLICK RIGHT TRIGGER FAST TO BREAK FEEE CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK IT CLICK WEEEE WE'RE HAVING FUN NOW!
If I sound furious like I want to murder people, yes. |
