The thing is… achievements are what ultimately caused me to quit WoW. It completely sapped out the enjoyment of the holiday events for me. The current emphasis on achievements and worldwide leaderboards is discouraging for me. I recently to

Baiting? Isn’t that a bit harsh? Is “try before you buy” morally repugnant now? (And don’t say free/paid dual releases are the “right way.” Having two separate apps has data migration issues, and inflates app availability total, benefitting

I consider myself an Apple tech fan (have an iPod touch and iPad myself, just not the phone), but I really do think there should be more of these kinds of devices in the first world, as well as the third. Apple’s first gen iPhone was a sor

Same here, and I really did want an Amiga at one time. One of my favorite internet comic writers still apparently uses them to this day. http://www.sabrina-online.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mg6wrYCT9Q That said, I ended up on

I’m sad that that stopped about halfway through the story, I think they were shooting for about 10 parts or so. But part 7 was a kind of sidetrack listing games on the platform, and the writer might have run out of contacts or behind the sc

I’m glad I’m not the only one bothered by this technicality. It seems everybody talking about how the American employment situation worked neglected to what degree individual employees could adapt to change. Economists always talk about how

I honestly feel as though I missed out on something big regarding the Amiga. While a teenager, I would regularly get .info magazine, and wonder in awe at the games and media tools the platform had. However, in my neck of the country (NW O

Not necessarily. Just like the lottery, it is possible (maybe even likely) that having about a million hits in a day will have periods where nobody wins for a few days, or that a winner might happen two or three times in one day. I’ve forg

Huh, not quite what I expected for what Portal could have been used for. In my mind, Portal (especially in the commentary mode) would serve better as a model of quality assurance, testing, and architectural design than as a work about the h

Four square is a dodgeball type game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_square The name for the service was a consequence of it being the follow up to a social networking service called "Dodgeball" that was bought out and killed off.

That is probably what it all boils down to: destructive verses non-destructive recycling. In short, aluminum is better if you always break down the container before remaking it, but glass is better if you try and preserve the form of the co

You just convinced me to never try EVE. If it is normal for players to spend months creating content that admins can willingly delete with no recourse, the real-to-virtual-currency conversion issue is the least of the game’s problems.

Chess is a bad example, since the only thing you lose is maybe a few hours of time. There’s nothing stopping you from playing a new game with all your pieces back. The roguelike games are a better example, though. However, they are for the

Concepts like compound interest and tax calculation based on a known rate are based on straight mathematics, not politics. The only thing different between now and then is the starting figures you enter in the calcuator.

I found the main point of this article to be profoundly depressing... Our rational faculty isn’t a scientist – it’s a talk radio host ...what a good way to sap my enthusiasm and hope for the day.
