    Xbox, PC Gamers Will Be Able Play Online With Other Platforms

    They have no reason to block those playing controller vs KB+M, just look at Division on PC, half the players are using Xbox controllers, half the players are using KB+M .. In fact when I talk to other players it's often an asked question of which one your playing with and prefer. So...

    Lawsuit Demands The Right To Resell Steam Games

    They are going after the wrong company. They should be trying to sue Microsoft and Sony. Digital Editions of games sold by them are the same price as the physical media in most cases, and you can't resell it. They create an unfair system where they promote and push people to buy from the...

    Inventor Files “First Run” Movie Patent to Beat Piracy

    It's percentage per ticket sold, and based on date. So first week showing it would be 80% of ticket goes to studio, while a month later it might only be 55% goes to studio which is why the theaters are so against it, not because less people will go, but because to actually make a profit movies...

    Inventor Files “First Run” Movie Patent to Beat Piracy

    It could work... it could also fail miserably People would pay to see a high def release the same time theaters show it... 19.95 is no different then paying for 2 people to visit the theater, and popcorn will cost you $1.00 instead of another $20. The issue will be, not only is it making...

    Filmmaker Unions Want to Criminalize Streaming Piracy

    YouTubers Are Up In Arms About YouTube Red

    Given how well twitch channel subscriptions worked out, youtube red will be just fine and it's one payment per month and not 4.99 to 10 different people.

    Netflix U.S. Subscriber Additions Fall Below Estimates

    With how many people sign up just to use Netflix US instead of their own localized version, I would say they were spot on for numbers :) just... they can't admit it with everyone complaining about out of region content consumption.

    New Stagefright Bugs Leave More Than 1B Android Users Vulnerable

    They need to address not just the speed in which carriers provide updates, but also how the updates get pushed. I know i'm not the only one who has an out of region phone (verizon S5 in Canada) so i'm locked from getting any updates or security fixes unless I want to manually do it myself.

    Torrent Trackers Ban Windows 10 Over Privacy Concerns

    Google Warned to Expect Large Fine from EU

    Almost all my co-workers are in EU (France, UK, Germany) and yep, it's a crap load of vacation time. Tho that includes weekends as part of the paid time off, so it translates to 5 weeks paid time off. However they also have way more bank holidays (stat days) then we do aswell. Working...

    WTB: Blizzcon Ticket

    As someone who has gone every year, there's several ways to get one: 1) you can often buy it face value or below at the venue during pickup times / first day. Either lining up to change the name, or if you don't care using the badge in someone elses name. 2) There is a facebook group...

    "Ghastly" EA new drm

    Microsoft has already been doing this with windows since the "glory be to praise god" 7 that no one wants to give up. Too many hardware changes invalidates the key. Fail to see how this is any worse because EA is doing it.

    Microsoft Is Getting Close To Perfecting A Universal Communicator

    Been using skype translator and it's nice, but the key thing I need is translating group chats which it doesn't do yet, would be nice if they had google's language detection and translated instead of only working one to one when you specify which language they'll use.

    Far Cry 4 set in the Himalayas

    Horribly dissapointed .... Co-op can't be done at all for the campaign, and it won't even let you start it until you finish a large number of the campaign missions (up to 7/31 now and still not unlocked).

    Far Cry 4 set in the Himalayas

    It's real Co-op, you can do the entire single player map / campaign together. I just dropped $200 for 2 gold editions for me and the girlfriend, it's been a long long time since I've paid more then $15 for a game.

    Google Was Afraid Of Antitrust Investigation If It Acquired Twitch

    Blizzard Heroes of the Storm Alpha

    I've been loving every minute of the game. No 20 minutes of laning before the game actually starts. No people trying to outdo each other for kills trying to buy their gear so they can look leet Talents over Items means they can do better balancing of the heroes. Every match is up in the air...

    Corsair Vengeance 2100 Wireless Gaming Headset

    Is XBMC for me?

    Never used XBMC on ATV2, however a couple of your problems might be that a) XBMC doesn't support M4V, so it would of skipped over those files. Also the tv scrappers expect the new dr. who to be named Dr. Who (2005) season 1-7 For M4V playback you most likely need a non open-source solution...

    PS4 Will Out-Power Most PCs For Years To Come

    You don't see games released for the old as shit consoles, so why would they be included? It has nothing to do with what's sold in stores, it's what people are gaming on. Doesn't matter if Intel releases something 10000x more powerful then the PS4, since only we 1% of die hard elitist gamers...

Some gamers are perfectly happy and fine with 20fps @ 1024x768.... we...
