    EA "Standing Up for the Industry" by Suing Zynga

    I think it was said before, in another context: "You know you screwed up when you make EA look like the good guys.".

    Poll: Is higher education worth it?

    That really depends on the degree. Engineering: definitely. Liberal Arts: you basically declare bankrupt when you sign up. Languages: might really help to distinguish between words like "in"/"and" and knowing how to end a question.

    What is this obsession with framerates over 30FPS?

    Technically, and in recorded or prerendered movies, yes. The problem with real-time rendering is that it does not create motion artifacts, which we are used to. Normally, when you are looking wt the world with your eyes, movement is blurry, which your brain compensates. On a real-time-rendered...

    Apple TV Could Become Gaming Console

    How was apple even able to patent that?! It's not even just similar to a Playstation Controller, it is a Playstation Controller. I am now waiting for import bans on Playstation Controllers because they "rip off" apple's design...

    Violent Videogames Cause "Macbeth Effect"

    I clicked on this article because the preview showed Patrick Stewart. Now WHERE is Patrick Stewart?!

    Recommend a good Fantasy Book Series.

    Indeed. The Discworld series does have one big disadvantage though. The world is so well-established, alive and believable, that I am now unable to enjoy many other Fantasy books. Even Lord Of The Rings appears uninspired, boring and illogical to me now, even though that series started most...

    Games that are visually stunning.

    I agree on Fall Of Cybertron. The first part had some quite awesome scenery as well. The environment appeared surprisingly alive for a completely inorganic planet. The Homeworld series had some stunning views as well:

    Data cap issues?

    I do not think we have such a limit in our connection. According to the router logs, we use about 150GB per month. That probably includes HUGE NAS-to-NAS transfers between my brother and me, I guess.

    Best Batman Movie

    I agree on Jack Nicholson being by far the best Joker in all the Batman films. Tim Burton's is not the original one, though, the original is the old Adam West movie, with the second-best Joker.

    Poll: A Second Language

    Where is the option "I'm thinking about a fourth!" for average Europeans?

    Any 2nd person games

    If this kind of game counts, I guess Experience112 would be a good example: The indirect controls make it extremely challenging occasionally. It's really well done though, and definitely not an everyday adventure game.

    The List of People Going to Hell

    Actually, several groups of Christians as well. And masons. MASONS! What's so evil about building houses?

    Dropbox Cripples Tech Startup Over Piracy Fears

    May I ask what would be so great about downloading torrents to an online storage? You would have to download them anyway to actually do anything with the files. It would make sense for throttled downloads like Rapidshare and the like, but Torrents?

    The Most Embarrasing Thing on Your iPod/Phone/Laptop

    Same for me. There are a few out of place tracks (although, looking at my collection, it's hard to find two artists you'd even expect in the same flat...), but I stand by my collection. I heard every single song on my phone, and like them all. Even if Kate Nash comes up right after Pendulum...

    The Witcher Dev: Booth Babes Are the "Cheapest Trick"

    So basically "It's OK to use sex to sell something, as long as there actually is sex forced into it"?
