    The Big Picture: Mutants and Masses

    Cellphone providers are currently able to provide "unlimited" plans which actually contain data limits and have not suffered any sanction from the FTC. Now that is more blatant false advertising than the much more subjective assurances made by Bioware. Even in cases where advertised features...

    The Big Picture: Mutants and Masses

    If failing to deliver what you said you would in interviews and press releases merits and FTC complaint, then you might as well just have an open complaint on Peter Molyneux.

    The Big Picture: Junk Drawer: Game On

    Great episode, Bob. These junk drawer episodes are my favorites and they always deliver for me. I just like the way you think in these video Op-Eds and so junk drawer episodes are kind of like when you get to dive into your candy after a successful Halloween night of trick-or-treating. I'm...

    Extra Punctuation: What Kinect Can Do

    I was thinking that Kinect would be good for a Naruto game where you have to make the hand seals to do the spells. It actually would work well for them by getting players even more invested in the series itself.

    Escape to the Movies: Tower Heist

    I get the feeling that Rush Hour is to MovieBob what Family Guy is to Matt and Trey.

    Poll: MovieBob vs MovieBob

    I like The Big Picture better because it's more like a video op-ed column and I like the way MovieBob approaches things. I'm not sure where people are getting his "fanboyism" from exactly, because he doesn't strike me as particularly obsessive in his chosen fields. At most, he displays some...

    Worst Cartoon Currently on Air

    I love Regular Show as an excellent college dropout comedy, but to like that or Adventure time you have to have an appreciation of non-sequitur and a lot of people don't. If shit just comes out of nowhere a lot of people end up being confused. As to Shippuden, I don't watch the dubbed...

    Misconceptions you hate!

    This has not been my experience with the OS. Both for my graphics card (nvidia GeForce 8800 GT) and audio card (Creative Audigy 2) I have had to scour the internet for community-made drivers that were not available in the package manager (this was not done recently, it was a couple years ago...

    How would you check to see if someone wasn't human at all?

    I'd take them out to a very nice dinner and ask them if they believe in a creator and if so what would such a being be to them. The undead most likely wouldn't eat much at the table and the robot would probably end up revealing they had a creator of knowable origins.

    Does anybody else sense a lack of musical diversity on the escapist?

    I see this dichotomy in a lot of people and I really don't understand it. How can you say that The Sugar Hill Gang is soulless? And if you make that exception, then you start opening up the door to ever more exceptions in those categories. I also have to ask if "pop-hiphop-r&b-rap etc." would...

    Does anybody else sense a lack of musical diversity on the escapist?

    Well, I'm certain I don't follow video games like others here, but I've just never had much of an exploratory nature when it comes to music, which is a shame because that means I've had to pretty much piggy-back other people's tastes. Thankfully, I've lived around plenty of audiophiles so I've...

    Misconceptions you hate!

    Yeah, my outlets for political talk usually end up being my boss, my brother, and a couple of friends and friends-of-friends (usually libertarians because they seem to be the only ones without the standard inhibitions, which may be because the Internet has allowed them to make somewhat of a...

    Misconceptions you hate!

    I hate it too, but you have to admit there is significant truth to that. My #1 complaint about Linux is the lack of intuative GUI's for things like installing drivers instead of having to use the terminal (I was also wary of the Package Manager for a while). And the fact that the OS is...

    The Great Scam!!

    A friend of mine kept getting calls at work from a supposed "law firm" telling her that she had an overdue payday loan and that if she didn't send them payment immediately, they would be filing action in civil court. While she had had several payday loans before, she checked her credit report...
