If I ever get one on launch, it will go straight on eBay for profits...

I kind of liked Syndicate. It wasn't great, and wasn't really Syndicate, but it was a pretty solid shooter. For $5 I'd say it's well worth it.

I think part of it's problem was that, due to Origin being weird or whatever, it took forever to for it to go on any decent kind of sale.

Prof. Kerr's conclusion:

My conclusion, at least based on what we know so far, is that the legal charges against Swartz were pretty much legit. Three of them are pretty strong; one is plausible but we would need to know more facts to be sure. ... I think that what Swartz was alleged to have done fits pretty well with the charges that were brought.

I don't doubt that's true. My contention is the fact that he could be in hock for 30 years for what he did is THE problem. The punishment is way, way out of line with the crime committed. I seem to remember something on "Cruel and unusual punishment" in our highest law somewhere.

Weird Worlds has been on Steam for a while. I picked it up on an indie deals back in December.

On a side note, aren't those all PvP servers? And a couple of the low pop ones used to be extremely high population.

How is that better specs than a Wii-U?

8-cores doesn't mean better performance.. Not to mention it's paired with a lowend powervr gpu.

That's the thing I do not understand with these super high end cell phones. Why do people need an 8 core cpu into a cell phone? Do mobile apps even take advantage of such a thing?
If they do take advantage then the battery will be sucked dry in an hour. If you got a phone like this to game on it on a 10 hour flight or train ride then I hope you got 4-5 extra batteries with it.
It is just silly. Not to mention the size of these phone now, it is like carrying a tablet in your pocket.
I guess they sell well otherwise companies wouldn't pump out all these giant phones.

It is funny how a few years ago all the phone companies were trying to make smaller and smaller phones, now we are going the opposite direction. The battery life is another thing that doesn't get addressed with any of the new cell phone iterations, all manufacturers care about is screen size and raw cpu power.

I wonder how the battery life will be like on that S4. 1080p screen 8 core CPU, wow, do people still use their phones to make calls?

While the reviewer is mistaken as to what exactly the trophy is given for, and I personally agree that the name of the trophy is questionable, at the end of the day the God Of War games are mature rated entertainment. To make a fuss about a trophy called "Bros before Hos" would be similar to complaining about similar jokes on Saturday Night Live....where the punch line is often rich in sarcasm and irony. Can people misunderstand the point of the reference? Sure. Getting yourself all twisted about something like that when you just got finished kicking a woman's face in rings as hollow as getting bent about a SNL race joke when you just got finished laughing at it.

Generally speaking, I don't find political correctness to be nearly as overdone as many people do, but this complaint by this particular reviewer comes off as a bit too "White Knight" and very thin on credibility. From the beginning of the series, which the reviewer claims to love, women have been treated as either sex objects or punching bags. To cry "misogyny" over a trophy name at the end of game number 5 is just ridiculous and sensationalist.

Still not understanding why everyone's freaking out that the final hardware was not shown. If memory serves me right, the original XBox360 demo (with the dancing robot) was run from servers hidden from view. Even the PS2's look was not revealed until a few months before release.

I was going to say the same, but keep in mind that's shipped, not sold.

But even 16 million shipped would be impressive...

I meant the data in this particular research, not their overall data in general. (though their monthly sales statistics and comparisons of console vs pc sales are meaningless as well, because they never take Steam into account.)
