I think the Wii-U also does the whole "tied to one console" bullshit, right?

Only for downloads. There's no kind of locking on the discs themselves.

Ah, okay. I guess Nintendo might find themselves with a lot of console sales this Christmas, if the rumors about MS and Sony prove to be true. I'd definitely advertise the shit out of it if I was them.

Hardcore gamers drive the market, casual users are fickle and often just along for the ride. The Wii is probably the greatest example of that.

Remember when the Wii came out and everyone was wondering why Nintendo was selling it at a profit while Sony and Microsoft were selling their consoles at a loss? At the end of the day the Wii sold more consoles than either of the others and Nintendo made money on every one and made money on whatever games were sold for those consoles. Call it what you want but that seems like a net win for Nintendo. Plus they have somehow convinced their idiot fanboys that digital purchases should be tied the the console they were purchased on thereby making them buy the same games over and over again. And dumb as it may sound, it does happen.

1. Windows 8 is garbage.
2. Classic shell and familiarity makes windows 8 suck less, but still sucks.
3. Internet explorer is garbage.
4. Internet explorer is better than it used to be, but still sucks.
5. The only reason "IE is "growing", is because people buy windows computers and laptops, which have IE on, and people are still lazy.

Shorter Axis: screw Windows, go play Path of Exile.

What's troubling is there's a news article in 2013 about a glaring hole anyone in the business knew about and disabled everywhere for the last 10 years give or take a few.

Isn't that like saying "Win ME sucks for security" and calling it news in 2013?...

Except that no one uses Win ME anymore, but UPnP devices are ubiquitous.

Rapid 7 has a tool you can download and scan your network for vulnerabilities.

Anyway... The negativity exhibited around here towards this game so far is just proof that Blue's regulars will crap all over ANYTHING no matter how good it is.

Oh, please. It's not nearly as bad as the folks that say "you guys are just haters here" when people don't agree with them...

A few hours into open beta, months since I've played it last. I still dislike the Isometic zoom angle and FFX sphere grid. At maximum zoom-out, I still want a substantially greater Line of Sight. D3 got that part right, if it got anything right. The sphere grid is still a mess that gives no one a clue how to build...a build.

Made a post a number of months back about my gripes with the game after 30 or so hours with the game in closed beta. Naturally, as is of course tradition here, Axis said I had no idea what I was talking about. I look forward to going through this again and posting updated thoughts on its current build. Which of course if it anything but 100% praise, as is tradition, Axis will tell me I have no idea what I'm talking about.
