    In which I pick the best first-person shooter of 2012

    Quoting Jackstrop: "For those saying it's too soon, find something better to do, like joining the cause to have all civilian firearms in the USA confiscated and the second amendment recognized for what it is - the right for state militia to be armed." ________ No. Your statement is wrong...

    Sony: No price cut for older PS3s as redesign raises base price

    Is it backwards compatible yet? No? Then Sony can keep it. It's such a cluster that I have to emulate my PS2 games on my PC to re-play them.

    Hands-on: iPad apps to consume the big (and not so big) comics

    Comixology has access to IMAGE comics, which means Walking Dead, Invincible, and POWERS as well as BOOM Comics' Irredeemable and Incorruptible. Those titles alone sell the app, add in Marvel and DC and it's the only app you REALLY need for comics unless you have a very niche comic favorite.

    Valve is "jumping in" to the computer hardware market

    Most computer failures I've had to deal with over the last 10 years have been related to failed caps. It's my main recommendation to anyone asking about building a machine. #1: Don't skimp on the MOBO, get one with solid caps. #2: Clean power is important. After that do whatever you want.

    Apple to jury: iPhone changed everything—then Samsung built knockoffs

    "Is that infringement?" he continued. "No, the evidence is going to show, that's competition. It's providing the consumer what the consumer wants. If the consumer wants a phone with a large screen and touch face, Samsung provides that. It's not some Johnny-come-lately developing knockoffs. It's...

    Fukushima: "A disaster 'Made in Japan'"

    Why are people comparing Chernobyl and Fukushima? Chernobyl was a P.O.S. that blew up due to operator error and poor design. Fukushima was a natural disaster triggered issue where total loss of power and damaged systems prevented cooling the reactors for long enough that they reached...

    Op-ed: Why now could be the right time for Apple to ditch the Dock connector

    Apple will make great money selling 30 > 19 pin adapters. They WILL make ones that will fit the audio docks currently on the market. My guess would be a tiny cradle that the phone would sit in that would connect into the 19 pin, with a 30 pin on the bottom so you could drop it right in just...

    Winamp's woes: how the greatest MP3 player undid itself

    If everyone would just buy their music with Amazon.com already we could stop all the nonsense at once. DRM free, cheap, and NO GODDAMN ITUNES. I would SO much rather give my money to Amazon and help fund space exploration than itunes and fund a new spaceship style HQ. Wouldn't you? Now...

    "Extended Cut" for <i>Mass Effect 3</i> hits Tuesday, June 24

    Indoctrination Theory. Get over it. THAT'S THE ONLY ANSWER. And no, I don't care that Bioware said they didn't do that. Bioware is wrong. Indoc Theory is correct. PLEASE don't reference Inception. That movie is terrible. Mass Effect deserves better than that horsesh!t comparison.

    Exporting copyright: Inside the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership

    The Empire is closer match. It was a 'democratic' takeover of the Senate due to granting of 'Emergency Powers' because, to paraphrase Mace Windu, "some sick bastards crashed a space-fighter into the Naboo Towers." The Starship Troopers government was a government of 'Moral Responsibility'...

    <em>Diablo III</em>: demon-cleaving, refined

    I logged in Tuesday morning about 0830 PDT. That was before the login server crashed. I played until 2 PM before being kicked. The servers have been up and down a couple times but when they are on I have never had even a single issue reaching them. Launch day is still launch day...

    EA: <i>The Old Republic</i> has lost nearly 25% of its subscribers since March

    If you complain about monthly fees it's probably because you don't make any money. 15 dollars in a month is minuscule. Anyone who drinks coffee-shop coffee spends more than that per month on beverages.

    If Amazon introduces a shop that will take custom designs and 3d-print them...SIGN ME UP!

    Is <em>The Old Republic</em> becoming an old ghost town? OpenForum gamers debate

    TOR is currently the most entertaining, most fun to play MMO of all available. WOW is beyond boring, and having now played a voiced MMO, I can never go back to the "Run here, now run there, now here's your tip" text prompts. Anyone who actually enjoys WOW more than TOR has other reasons...

    Did Bioware actually lie about the ending to <i>Mass Effect 3</i>?

    A, B, and C are not endings. They are hallucinations. Indoctrination Theory is the only possible ending. And it's spectacular that that is the case.

    So, pretty much, Idiocracy has come to pass.

    Free "Extended Cut" DLC to expand, clarify <i>Mass Effect 3</i> ending this summer

    Either you already realize Indoctrination Theory is correct, or you will NEVER be happy with the endings you got. *****SPOILERS***** Because they weren't meant to be endings in the traditional sense. They were mental projections that the Reapers force upon you that culminate in a decision...

    Megaupload user asks for his perfectly legal videos back

    I was going to write a long-form reply to this, pointing out all kinds of logical discrepancies...but I think I can sum this up in a shorter response: No, you're wrong.

    [etc] Mass Effect 3 fans send Bioware 400 color-coded vanilla cupcakes to protest the

    It makes much LESS sense that the Normandy somehow evacuated the two squadmates you have with you when you start the mission. How did the Normandy get from fighting in space, to rescuing your squadmates, to being the ONLY SHIP IN THE ENTIRE RELAY SYSTEM?!? And anyway, why would Joker have...
