    Press X to Squint

    Follow up article needs to be about sound problems. How many times have you missed what a charector was saying because the explosions or background music drowned out the vocals (Yes, even in surround sound)

    In Defense of Final Fantasy XIII

    While I prefer the traditional FF games I did have fun playing FFXIII. It's story actually seems better now that I've played XIII-2. Maybe in FFXIII-3 they will figure out what they are doing. Or maybe I'll just wait for the next one ....

    Epic Wins Advantage in Too Human Lawsuit

    I feel that having bought Too Human ruined my reputation. They owe me about $.25 to fix that and a million for wasting my time

    Panthers fan :( no comment. Maybe if they cancel the season we can get another 1st round draft pick next year.

    Extra Punctuation: Getting Innovation Wrong

    Only thing I could think of where a screen on the controller would be useful is playing Madden. You could choose your plays without having your opponent know what you are doing. But all in all it's shit, especially since I don't play many sports games. I agree that I'd rather pause the game...

    GeoHot Sounds Off on Sony's PSN Debacle

    When the PS3 first came out they advertised that you could put different OS's on it. It even talked about it in the instructions. Multiple government agencies bought PS3's over the years just so they could change the OS to run their specific programs. This all changed with the Jailbreak update.

    Talking About Game of Thrones

    Their were some minor differences from the books (mainly the scene with Khal and Daenneyrs) but altogether I think it was a great adaptation of the book and I can't wait to see more. By far one of the best HBO series yet, let's hope they don't mess it up. I just wish the Martin would release...

    Video: Infamous 2 Karma System Completely Changes the Game

    As long as you know which karma choice is "good" or "bad" karma I don't have a problem with it. I hate when you choose what you think is the good path in a game and they turn it on you. i.e. RDR when you grab the runaway for the stranger who turns out to be a cannibal. You can still shoot...

    Volition: We'd "Commit Murder" for Freespace 3

    , ever since we've got analogue as a standard controller for consoles no one has done a heavy-duty, top, top quality space sim on console." What about Colony Wars on PS2. Great actions, sound and some of the best space combat controls ever used in a game (using analog controls). I'd love...

    Escape to the Movies: The Rite

    Unfortunately I wasted money on this movie. I plead to others just stay home and watch Exorcist and Exorcist III if you want good exorcism movies (stay away from II though W. P. Blatty had nothing to do with it and calls III the sequel to I)

    3D Movies Might Not Be As Bad As Roger Ebert Claims

    A good cinematographer can give you a 3D like picture without having to charge me extra to wear lame glasses and see a darker image. Besides Avatar I haven't seen a decent 3D movie yet. The film makers will kill 3D before it ever has a chance to take off.

    Apple Patents Holographic TV Screen Tech

    No glasses would make it nicer but how about some 3D in 3D movies. Depth is a gimmick. A good cinematographer can add depth to a movie almost as good as the current 3D "depth of feel". If I'm going to pay extra at the theater for 3D I want stuff popping out of the screen. Avatar had a few...

    Actor Sorry for Terrible Clash of the Titans Remake

    I watched it in 3D and noticed that I could watch it without glasses because there was NO 3D in the movie at all. I love the original and all they had to do was redo the same script with better visual effects and they would have had a hit. I'll watch the 2nd one........on video.
