Really? What other paths are available for game companies? Any examples? Take Nintendo and Mario/Zelda/Metroid franchises. You spend years developing quality titles that you rotate through to avoid saturating the market. Probabl

This article only touches lightly on what I believe to be Reddit's primary weakness, namely the inability to elect moderators for various subs. I hope you don't mean elected by the users, because I can't imagine a more mise

First, I would assume services like Netflix are the largest consumers of bandwidth these days, and I know my wife generally watches more overall than I do. Unless you are specifically running some kind of server from home, or torrenting, I

He noted that its a hard thing to keep up with because you have to keep exactly on schedule or you will mess everything up and then you just end up sleeping for a day. That sounds like one of those excuses people make for something that d

It's beyond ridiculous; teachers are being put in charge of classrooms of minors, while being denied the right to carry arms to protect them effectively. It literally boggles my mind that people make this suggestion with any sincerit

My country has had national IDs for close to a century, and they make life a lot easier for databases and programming Strange, from my perspective, this seems like a negative result.

So the problem is not that $60 is insane for a game, but rather that games these days are crap? I think it's more that when releasing any given game, you aren't just trying to sell people on "Our game is worth $60." yo

Best comparison I can make is that playing Dark Souls 2 on the PC over in-home streaming is comparable to playing it on a PS3. Plus there is already some lag when playing online with friends and/or against an invader to begin with. A
