I agree with the poster above who gave a chuckle to the phrase "mythical reward." Everything in a video game is a "mythical reward." That is, unless someone has discovered some new game where you get something tangible for playing a video game. What is more rewarding, blowing up five guys...

You have to keep in mind that the skills of the gamer playing the game vary. They're not all like you. Maybe you would appreciate the badge of honor for beating the game on "ludicrous" but maybe there's some kid out there that was happily challenged just to make it through the first level and...

Nintendo needs to understand that the same thing that makes Pokemon popular makes Achievements popular - that feeling of "gotta catch 'em all!" It's a marketing trick made to sell more Pokemon games, and more Xbox games. Nintendo should know more than anyone how well this type of "manufactured...

Unless the character being portrayed was specifically defined in canon, and required as part of the personality of the character, it doesn't matter. I don't know if Ford Prefect was described in HHGTTU as "white" but did it damage the story to have him played in the movie by Mos Def? Surely not...

We have always "played Santa." We knew and accepted that it wasn't real, but played along for the spirit of it.

"Here lies SpaceGhost2K, a casualty of Console War III (2000-2015)"

I think the OP wants it to be like Star Trek. Everybody has a job, everybody has their basic needs met. Problem is what if you have someone who doesn't want to do his/her job? Do you imprison them? Or do you meet their needs anyway? When Picard and offers played poker, what did they use to bet...

In death, I will careth not.

The Xbox had a controller for the hardcore and a sensor for the casuals. There's something for both. One is not trying to replace the other. The hardcore are acting like the Xbox is "tainted" because it has a controller for casuals. Fear not, Kinect isn't going to steal Halo, Gears and CoD from...

Oh my God, the thing has been out for less than two months and you're saying MS wussed out on Kinect?

They don't make a 10 GB HDD. If there were real loud noises "after a while", then it's your fault because you should have stopped playing it when you knew there was a problem, not after it scratched your disc. In unrelated news, I spent $2 on 1/4" rubber feet, and put them on my Xbox...

Yep, half the episodes of M*A*S*H exist because of this.

I'm not convinced this is true. There have been rumors of a TV miniseries that have been labeled false. Every site I went to is mentioning this story but not saying where the information came from. I'd like to see a link to the interview where Portman says it, the press release, the studio, the...

You guys totally have this wrong. It's not about the value of it's use or its components. The value is in the art, and the artist who made it. If this guy is a significant Steampunk artist who commands high prices for his pieces, then this piece will be worth $1000 to someone. Let's say his...

I hear the same thing when people find out I'm 43 and my favorite movies of all time are The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and WALL-E. "You still watch cartoons?" I am secure enough in who I am to not give a rat's ass what they think about it. Someone once asked Dweezil Zappa why his parents...
