    Print Books On The Rise Again In The US

    I love print books. My wife just got me hard copies of two of my favorite books, signed by the author. While I enjoy e-books for their ease of use and portability, I would take a print book every day over an e-book.

    Fallout 4

    If it is the Boston mayoral shelter, be glad you didn't run into the deathclaw then. I did, and I had to run out while fighting/avoiding the deathclaw and the synths.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    Smash and grab if there ever was one, unfortunately. Terrible disservice to the Star Wars franchise, they should be ashamed.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    Most people made jokes that it would be a re-skinned battlefield. I'll bet that most of those people wish it was at LEAST a re-skinned battlefield, I know I am. It's disappointing, to say the least.

    Yeah, it's pretty annoying. Makes fights a bit of a pain sometimes.

    Fallout 4

    I will say, while the writing in this game certainly isn't anything special, they do a pretty good job with environmental storytelling, that's for sure.

    Fallout 4

    While this game is great, I hope they take all of these complaints into account and implement the improvements into the next Elder Scrolls. I feel like this game just paved the way for a lot of the elements that will be in the next Elder Scrolls.

    Battlefield 4 **Official Discussion Thread**

    Not to mention the fact that a mountain suddenly appeared within that 10 year timeframe. Crazy geological activity over there, it seems.

    A taste of Nostalgiagasm for you all....

    Lol, I have that exact laptop sitting on a shelf next to me at work. We have a bookshelf full of all sorts of old computer stuff, just for nostalgia/fun.

    iPhone User Blames “WiFi Assist” For $2,000 Phone Bill

    Just ran into this junk with my wife's phone yesterday. Thankfully we caught it before we went over, but her phone used up 75% of our data in about a week because of this. It's annoying that it's turned on by default, and there's no noticeable signs that WiFi assist is working in the background...

    Volvo's Futuristic Concept for Autonomous Vehicles

    It's interesting to see all of these romanticized concepts about automated cars and travel. The reality will be far less luxurious and simple. I imagine it will all devolve into what basically amounts to a moving box with some couches in it.

    Anyone had the glitch where the radscorpions will fly up really high into the air when they un-borrow, then fall to the ground and die? Just barely had it happen to 2 legendary radscorps, lol.

    Fallout 4

    I have my suspicions that the delay for the modding tools is partially because they're working on hashing out how to implement paid mods again. The idea failed with Skyrim so much because it interfered with a long-standing, well-established community. Fallout 4 is fresh, and you can bet they're...

    Fallout 4

    Finally got a chance to play a bit of this, and I must say, I'm loving it so far. It looks and feels so much better than Fallout 3 or Skyrim. Yes, the graphics aren't on-par with more modern games, but given the scope and size, the graphics are just fine, and haven't bothered me one bit so far.

    Fallout 4

    Interesting. I'm on an old Sabertooth X58 board, legacy BIOS, and my GTX 970 was plug 'n play. Glad I didn't have any issues, because I was completely unaware of this issue.

    Fallout 4

    Really surprised that they haven't at least locked things with deltaTime, would definitely mitigate the majority of the weird physics/speed issues people are seeing at higher framerates.

    The Cloud Wars: Why Nobody Can Catch Up With Amazon

    I used to be a dedicated server engineer, worked on deploying SL bare metal servers quite often. Pretty interesting system they have set-up, with quite a few locations.

    The Cloud Wars: Why Nobody Can Catch Up With Amazon

    IBM's acquisition of Softlayer has helped that quite a bit, as Softlayer's network is still highly sought after by some people.

    Fallout 4

    I think the exciting thing with the changes they've made to the Creation engine is the power it gives to modders. Sure, the main game is limited by disappointing console performance, but the implementation of PBR, Volumetric Lighting, etc give the modders a ton of new stuff to play with and...

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    As far as DICE betas going, I remember the Bad Company 2 beta being extremely solid, personally. Either way, I'll be picking this game up. Probably not immediately, but eventually.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    I'm still on the fence. While the Beta did only have 3 gameplay modes with as many levels, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, it's more casual, but on the other hand, I just don't have the time to devote to games that I used to, so that actually draws me towards it. Considering that the game at...

    The last game you played that really blew you away

    I've been very disappointed with games lately. I haven't played anything recently that really sucked me in. Divinity Original Sin was great, but it didn't hook me like others have. Looking back, the last one that really sucked me in was Mass Effect 1, then going back further before that it was...

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    One of the biggest issues with the Hoth map, currently. If you're an Imperial and you push too far, you suddenly find yourself behind the enemy, and they spawn right in front of you completely unaware and ripe for the picking. Also, people finally learned how to play the objectives. We didn't...

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    The game hasn't even be released, how can you possibly make an accurate statement comparing what should have been in the game versus what is included as DLC down the road? The principle of Season passes, DLC, etc is sad, , nobody disagrees there, but you're making all of the wrong arguments...

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    I've heard and read that they're not hacks specifically for Battlefront, but hacks for BF3/4 for the Frostbyte engine, and Fairfight detects them and just bans them anyway. Pretty sure I was in a few rounds with you, there can't be many "CaptinnNumbNutz" (or something like that ) out there.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    The audio in this game is absolutely fantastic, and really draws you in. The Battlefield games have always had fantastic audio, but it's something else to listen to and hear those iconic/classic Star Wars sounds.

    Star Wars: Battlefront Reboot

    Honestly, I like it. It's the kind of game I can just kind of tune out and play, no need to worry about my K/D ratio, stats, whatever. It feels like the other Battlefront games in a lot of ways, which is a good thing, in my opinion. It harkens back to a simpler time, and I just think it's...
