    YouTube: Universal Music Abused the System

    It is not at all new that a company like UMG has used the DMCA to censor or remove content they do not own the rights to. What is new is that someone is actually attempting to punish them for it. They've been doing this exact same thing as a matter of course every day for a decade, and...

    Watch the Greatest Plane Kill in Battlefield 3

    At first I was like ":D" But then I recognized his name, and was like "D:" He has made me miserable on BF3 servers before.

    Critical Miss: Skyrim Tales

    The tombs usually have draugr of growing difficulty leading up a "final boss" who is usually hard, sometimes quite hard. While some crypts just end up being hard and having hard to defeat deathlords toward the end, at higher levels I noticed the deathlords were just out wandering the hallways...

    Skyrim Creation Kit Out in January, Goodbye Backwards Dragons

    I really don't believe that explanation that they were just "too aggressive" in fixing minor features. Most of the features they were trying to fix were not fixed, and you don't release a patch that doesn't fix what you say it does because you tried too hard to fix it. They released a patch...

    Skyrim Patch Makes Dragons Fly Backwards

    Now when Bethesda releases a game in kind of unstable condition we can think up some rationalizations to excuse them for it. Huge game, QA nightmare, etc. When your focus is finishing a vastly large game it's logical problems will sneak into the finished result. But when they release a patch...

    EU Digital Commissioner Says Copyright Laws Encourage Piracy

    This is the same system that for a century gave music artists no real choice but to sell all rights to their own creation up front for an infinitesimal fraction of its' worth... or, alternately, to collect (at most) 4 cents on the dollar for every sale of the product their hard work created (but...

    I Am Alive Producer Dismisses "Bitching" PC Gamers

    They won't release it for PC until they perfect DRM that can chop a user to death with a hatchet for losing connection to the internet for more than 300 milliseconds. "Ubisoft game on PC", by now everyone knows that means some craven idiot screaming "SCREW YOU I HATE YOU SCREW YOUR MONEY GO...

    New Skyrim Patch Will Fix "Long-Term Play" Problems

    I play my copy of Skyrim on the PC with an xbox controller with a chair that reclines. Can totally have both worlds.

    New Skyrim Patch Will Fix "Long-Term Play" Problems

    Nevermind that the PC version regularly crashes to desktop and is inexplicably limited to using 2gb of memory (what in the hell, man. The recommended system requirements call for more memory than the game is even capable of utilizing), we'd better get a patch out for the console versions first!

    Skyrim PC Requirements Revealed

    Wait, what? 6 gigabytes? That's slightly smaller than an install of Oblivion. Given the larger gameworld and improved visuals, I was expecting a substantially bigger file size. Either they've been very disciplined about using low resolution textures wherever possible (which, knowing Bethesda, is...

    MIT Radar Can See Through Walls in Real Time

    Putting furniture of mixed composition behind that wall would be hell on the signal resolution. Plumbing (especially water pipes) would interfere greatly as well. Also it probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between, for example, an aquarium and a human torso. Perfected, the...

    Name Game: Podi Puss Plural

    People who edit dictionaries will tell you that there are multiple correct pluralizations, and that they're tired of being asked that question by neurotic people who insist only one could possibly be correct. In fact I won't just state this and leave it on it's own merit. Here is a video by...

    Team Fortress 2 Runs Surprisingly Well In A Browser

    The problem with this is of course that this gives Flash another reason to persist as something that exists. Let me say in no uncertain terms that Flash is the worst software I have ever installed on a computer, even if I include some of the more harmless things that were deliberately...

    Belgian ISPs Ordered to Block The Pirate Bay

    Heck some affected citizens are likely to still have the ability to access to it even if they never actually visit it. Using alternate DNS sources (which is how those affected can continue to freely access TPB) isn't only used to circumvent blockages, it's also commonly used to avoid DNS...
