Can't speak to other places but here in Canada, "superphone" is a bullshit marketing term coined by the cell phone carriers to advertise their highest-end models. Now it's the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3 and Lumia 920, next year it'll be some other batch.

A "superphone" can just mean any phone that supports LTE speeds also.

For Rogers cable internet, this is what we've got:

Ultra Lite – $5.00/GB to a maximum of $100.00 - I can't even find this package...
Lite – $4.00/GB to a maximum of $100.00 - speeds: 6/0.25, $38.49/mo. (20GB cap) <-- ouch...
Express – $2.00/GB to a maximum of $100.00 - speeds: 18/0.5, $48.99/mo. (80GB cap)
Extreme – $1.50/GB to a maximum of $100.00 - speeds: 28/1, $61.99/mo. (120GB cap) <-- this is what I have
Extreme Plus – $1.25/GB to a maximum of $100.00 - speeds: 32/1, $71.99/mo. (150GB cap)
Ultimate – $0.50/GB to a maximum of $100.00 - speeds: 150/10, $122.99/mo. (250GB cap)

Honestly I need to switch to Teksavvy. It's very easy for me to exceed 120GB a month, and during E3 time with lots of game videos on Youtube, I'm just not allowed to watch half of them with risk of going over. The issue is that ISPs get consumers stuck into using their e-mails, and it's very hard for me to move because I do all my e-mailing on my ISP's e-mail service.

I mentioned in the Borderlands 2 IGN review comments section, but I suppose I'll ask here also: When I see RPG/FPS I think Deus Ex/Bioshock. I loved System Shock co-op, wondering will I get a similar experience?

Absolutely and irrefutably no.

While those games would be considered RPG/FPS games, this is more FPS/RPG. If that makes any sense. Shooter first, RPG a distant second. More akin to Diablo as a first person shooter than any sort of deep involved RPG experience.

Ahh... I see. I hate it when reviewers and members of the game dev community like to throw around words like "RPG elements" and the like for terms which don't even exist. I'd like to call those more like advanced-FPS games. (I don't want to hear "RPG" mentioned plz)

Bordlerands was one of the most overrated games I've ever played. Gameplay was ridiculously repetitive, you spend the entire game doing the same thing you do in the first five minutes. There were literally only three enemies that you fought over and over and over again the entire game. The environment was drab and boring, there was no creativity whatsoever in designing anything you discover. And the bazillions of weapons were just randomized variations of themselves, see one you've seen them all. Story? Pfffttt, terrible. Also the most anti-climatic ending of all time. I have nooooo idea what all the fanfare was about. Yes you can play it with friends, which I did from start to finish, but we were both bored to tears the majority of the game.

Finally, someone else who shares the same opinion as me! Is Borderlands 2 a different game though? When I see RPG/FPS I think Deus Ex/Bioshock. I loved System Shock co-op, so will I get a similar experience?

They'll find some way to turn this into the Resident Evil movie series and completely ruin it I'm sure.

I like the Resident Evil movie? It's good if you completely disassociate it and pretend it's not part of the Resident Evil series at all, so as a movie it's pretty decent. Same could be said for the sequels.

Wow this story is insane.

Iran still has one of the Kuma devs. Over a year now.


Damn, I feel sorry for that Kuma dev... they probably beat him to a pulp for him to confess that he's with the CIA. Who has time to work for the CIA and be a game dev at the same? This: "he worked for Kuma Reality Games, which was paid by the CIA to design movies and video games with the objective of swaying consumers to receive a distasteful impression of the Middle East." sure... he'll probably get 19 years now, or worse, the death sentence.

Hmm, guess I'll boot this up. Good thing I updated...wait...600mb download needed.

Okay, back to FTL!

Beta testing is not so good with all these huge updates and game data... it takes a toll on the monthly bandwidth.

WHy are they talking about processor "quality" when their source article makes it very clear the problem is the usual yields issue?

It would be very easy to sceptically suggest they are trying to create a stir based on the RRoD fiasco.

Looks like i am buying a PS4

The coroner discovered cause of death was from his thumbs being bruised from playing too much CoD on Xbox. Bruising hemorrhaged into the brain. Recommends siblings use a keyboard & mouse in the future.
