    Old and New Ashley Madison Extortion

    It's been a while, but, as I understand it, it depends on the Merchant Category Code. High risk codes like liquor, gambling, and nudie bars have more strict verification requirements than shipping services and fast food. I would expect a cheating site filled with bots to be particularly...

    Video Games Are Better without Stories

    It's rare when I walk away from a game with some amazing story development that sticks with me. It's also rare when I walk away from a game with some amazing gameplay moment that sticks with me. The best games manage to do both without being overbearing in either.

    Video Game Companies Are Making $5B a Year off DLC and Add-Ons

    I think it's the original. Artist's site here. (possibly unsafe for work)

    Youtube's Shifting Algorithms Hurt Independent Media

    FWIW, YouTube's bandwidth costs are a fraction what it would cost us mere mortals thanks to Google's peering setups. It's not unlike Standard Oil being able to sustain selling under cost for long enough to kill regional competition.

    Gigabyte support stinks

    That's basically all I can do. While I now wish my previous Gigabyte purchases were with someone else, I'll avoid them from now on. I see quite a few complaints and similar stories from other people, too, so if I had bothered to research ahead of time I might have been better informed...

    Wow, they're really squirting these out quickly, aren't they?

    Nintendo Discontinues the NES Classic Edition

    If you still have a CRT TV laying around, $120 or so gets you an Everdrive N8: a flash cart that will accept a microSD card loaded with ROMs and emulate original cartridge hardware on a real machine. A small investment of around $275 for the whole set up including a good-condition console with...

    Nintendo Discontinues the NES Classic Edition

    I think Nintendo is just being diplomatic and cutting bait. The Classic has been hacked wide open and can be modified to run the entire back catalog of ROMs. Their security engineers are still years behind the curve and not only had no clue how to lock it down at launch but have no idea how to...

    Gigabyte Mb return

    Congrats. Looks like you actually got service from Gigabyte. They took twice as long and didn't fix a thing on my board.

    Microsoft to Offer Refunds on Digital Xbox One and PC Games

    I haven't checked non-Steam stores in a while, are there any deals to be had? Last time I checked for an older console game, Amazon had new copies for $20 while the Xbox store still had it for $60. I'm pretty sure peace-of-mind for a game isn't worth $40. Although, I guess I could buy the...

    The same way the Chinese knock every else off. Just do it and "catch me if you can."

    The Windows 10 Creators Update Is Now Live

    Woke up this morning to my rig off. So much for the fifth thing I tried to do to keep it from automatically restarting and installing updates. But, whatever. Turned it on, BSOD. Reboot... BSOD. Safe mode... BSOD. Boot off DVD, system restore, "system restore has encountered a problem". Thanks...

    Bayonetta

    I always thought Dante's Inferno was closer to God of War than it was to Bayonetta, although they all share common mechanisms. Still, I had a hard time keeping that EA publicity stunt of fake Christian protests out of mind.

    Open world - wearing me out

    There's open world and then there's "open world". Something like Elder Scrolls is awesome in an open world. Sometimes I'll just pick a direction and walk, being able to stumble upon a burned down shack or a camp is really immersive. And if you don't want to deal with it, you've got...
