I like Apple as much as the next hipster screenwriting douchebag, but this looks like rubbish. The multitouch function works great for laptop trackpads, but I think mice should be mice and trackpads should be trackpads. This mouse seems to demonstrate that, in practice, they're probably better...

That was developed by DICE, anyway. It's not Final Fantasy without at least one character that is ostensibly dead/dying but isn't actually dead (in the case of FFIV, a lot more than one character). It's not a Tetsuya Nomura game without dozens of pointless, oversized zippers. It's not...

My high school required all freshmen to take a semester long computers class that was learning the very basics, like how to use a word processor, how to move files, typing, etc. It was the easiest class I've ever taken, but one ditzy girl brought this exchange about: Teacher: ...So right...

Most of the trophies for inFamous are really lame. You will get most just from doing a good playthrough and an evil playthrough, as many are awarded for reaching certain points in the story and making a good choice or an evil choice. Most of the rest are repetitive nonsense like "travel 25 km on...

I'm having some fun daydreams right of where I am essentially Cole McGrath only with extremely excessive powers and a taste for theatrics. I do stuff like sneak up on a group of gangsters and shout "DR. OCTOGONAPUS BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" as I blow them up.

I'll count my game soundtracks of various Final Fantasy games and Chrono Cross. I also have a T-shirt with an RPG battle menu on it: Attack, Magic, Summon, Item, Run.

Apple's website says the following: This doesn't claim Mac OS is unhackable or virus free. The fact that nobody bothers to hack Macs IS a selling point, and given that I've never had a virus or really heard about about them on Mac, I'd say that "virus-freeability" is a pretty fair claim.

Why do Mac haters always jump at the opportunity to point out that Mac's aren't invincible? If someone tells you Macs are unhackable, they're likely a rabid, insecure fanboy. Mac users who are embarrassed by those fanboys know perfectly well why our computers don't get viruses. Frankly, I'd be...

I think motion control will compete with standard controllers for a while. Casual players/grandmas will continue to play Wii and its successors, while more hardcore gamers will prefer consoles with standard controllers. I think that, eventually, every console will include both functions to allow...

Not in my experience. My PS3 has run on wireless since day 1 and I've never had a problem with it that could have been solved by wiring it.

As was stated before, game balance is crucial and really should take priority over realism. Just about anyone who has played Battlefield: Bad Company has complained about/heard complaints about the much-maligned NS2000, often called the NoSkill 2000. The range at which it can OHKO is...

I'm learning to play FPS in Battlefield: Bad Company. It's the first one I've played online, and the first I've owned since Quake II (a little Halo with the buddies being a rare exception). Also, why do people complain so much about LittleBigPlanet's controls? It's not bad, it's different...

MissingNo was legendary back in the day. My friends and I spent hours discussing what it meant and what the heck it was, when it was really just an error. I miss my childhood when games captivated a young imagination. Now all they do is make me complain about artillery glitchers who have ruined...

Who would it be? I love this idea, so I have a bunch of ideas. One of my first choices would be Nikola Tesla, so I could show him modern technology he set the foundation for. I would say, "Hey, remember when you said people would one day have the newspaper brought to their homes by wireless...

I loved the Milkman conspiracy. I laugh every time I see the sewer guys stick the plunger in their faces. I think some of the funniest parts were the horny ten-year-olds. "I'm so moved on, I've gone all the way around, and now I'm back!"
