It violates the spirit of the law to monitor traffic without a warrant. Unfortunately the spirit and the reality aren't the same. The threat is also bullshit but bullshit tends to hold up in courts if one party has enough money.

It gives smaller developers a source of income so that they not only don't go out of business while making the game, but also have ongoing incentive to continue to improve the games. It also allows consumers a way to give better feedback about what the game as it's being made resulting in a far...

It really depends on how it's implemented in a game, Skyrim's crafting systems weren't very engaging because it was just having the luck to find the things you need [usually through exploration, which is probably Skyrims strong point]. A lot of roleplaying games suffer from that flaw, where the...

Did-you-kno is an alright one, but keep an eye out because stuff gets misinterpreted or twisted a lot to make it more interesting. Owlturdcomix is a good one, funny comics with some swearing but no porn. prguitarman is a decent one, some naughty language though Not many other I can think of...

Even a civil union that functions the same as a marriage isn't equal since it implies that the relationship between the two is different from that of a traditional marriage, all of which is reminiscent of the 'separate but equal' argument.

It kinda makes sense with consoles because retailers can't keep extremely large numbers of consoles in stock simply due to them taking up too much room, thus space limits supply and makes it a reasonable idea to pre-order to help ensure that limited supply doesn't run out before they can get...

I could see this being a pretty awesome thing if done well. Youtubers could put up videos early on the paid channel, remove ads for the paid channel, the paywall would act as a pretty effective block to spam and trolls even if it was the minimum amount. This really could go either way but I...

Sony will never come anywhere close to getting this to go away and are just gonna have to bite the bullet if they get sued for it, because they certainly have the right to do so. I think I would actually bet money on Cage telling them to model 'everything' after hearing how he became obsessed...

Only if Activision has perfected cloning and mind control will this happen, otherwise GTA V's first day of sales might possibly be more than the entire life-cycle of Ghosts.

You mention a cashier but that doesn't make any sense, a cash register is a calculator. The issue you describe seems more to do with not being properly trained for the register, not being poor at math. But in regards to the issue at hand you really only need to know how to add, subtract, and...

Probably the rise of games being crowd-funded games, as well as this year being remembered as the release year for the last major consoles, with every other iteration from now on probably just being minor adjustments of current consoles. Honestly I can't think of any other thing happening this...

Murderers. The act of murder itself violates laws of society and nature, and psychology is a field that can't predict with absolute certainty who these kinds of people will be. To me this signifies that there is indeed free will, even if a lot of people don't exercise it to it's full extent for...

Three reasons I can think of, which also apply to several other games as well. 1. They want the game with the best physics and graphics, which is usually the newest rendition of whatever is put out. 2. People want a game that they can find opponents for online, and that is usually easiest with...

I think it has a lot to do with how consoles are pretty under-powered to even fairly cheap computers, so a lot of games end up being crippled because they are being developed for systems that are currently extremely outmatched by even very cheap computers. There is also the issue of longer...

Is that for a single server farm? because for something like gtaV i'd think they'd have about 8-9 globally to keep latency down.
