All this crap about next gen consoles, I do hope they fail !
Honestly, I don't want them to fail. I want them to make a consumer-focused product instead of a profit-focused product. Do right by consumers and you'll succeed. Focus on profit and treat your consumers poorly, and we'll go elsewhere. The problem is that it puts the entire game industry in a bad light. |

It's an insult to Vista to lump it in with Windows 8. Vista>Windows 8...
Well, that might be going a bit far. Vista was a bloated, buggy piece of crap. But at least Vista was DESIGNED FOR THE GODDAMNED DESKTOP. |

One BILLION? Whatever they're smoking, I want some. Sounds like you enter a state of eternal bliss, where the entire world is populated with unicorns and rainbows.
As for that visual DRM, that sounds like it violates the warrantless search clause of the USA constitution. Although, maybe they can bypass that with their EULA. Sounds like a Southpark episode in the making. |

Speaking of anti-glare glasses, has anyone tried Gunnars? The GWJ guys swear by them.
That Lego X-wing is cool, but I wouldn't make a life sized model of the Lego version. I'd make the actual one!
Europa Report looks very cool. Strange that it comes out on iTunes five full weeks before the theaters. I'd prefer to watch it on the big screen if the reviews are good. |

Yup, and work the peons harder to make up for the missing peons. This is how US workers have made massive improvements in productivity, only to see it "stolen" by execs at the top. See this wage chart, for example. |

| Yeah, I upgraded from a 460 to a 670 last summer, but didn't really see a huge improvement in graphics. The SSD I threw in made more of an impact in overall performance. I really don't think I'll need a new card for years, unless I set up a multimonitor rig or something. |

Ok seriously, it's a fucking windows machine with a X on it, how can you NOT make it backwords compatible?
Well, the XBox 360 has a completely different architecture, using PowerPC chips instead of the x86 based chips of the One. It's like trying to install Android on your PC: Can't do it.
That being said, the new XBox is powerful enough to emulate old 360 games. But that would require MS to put in time and effort to develop an emulator, and why would they do that and give up all those extra sales when people have to re-purchase their old library to play them on the new XBox? Remember, it's all about the money. |

Xbox Exec: 'If You’re Backwards Compatible, You’re Really Backwards'.
That's the most fucked up thing I've read in a while, and there's been no shortage of late. Let's apply that logic to some other pastimes:
"If you're watching the Matrix, you're really backwards"
"If you're playing Magic the Gathering, you're really backwards"
"If you're listening to Discovery by Daft Punk, you're really backwards"
"If you're drinking Zima, you're really backwards"
(Okay, in fairness that last one might be true)
This guy should join the Orth in Limbo. |

I really enjoyed UT3 Black, in addition to all the others. Over the years I've liked the series much more so than Quake, for example. Not sure why people hate on UT3.
I'm in the process of reinstalling 2004, actually. Someone a while back posted some links to a mod or a graphical update or somehing to 2004 that I want to try out. Anyone know what that was? I tried looking in the Blues archives, but couldn't locate it.
