I agree, although the quality of PD films is generally mediocre from everything I've seen. Seems mostly due to companies not bothering to perform better transfers and clean-ups as it's not very profitable.

It's ultimately the publisher's decision, although it's still an issue that affects such platforms. In that particular case Steam itself was not disclosing this to users in those countries. So on release day in the US, when t

Ironically enough it's Steam that sometimes region locks games. Take the recent Thief 4 release that was region locked in Europe much to the dismay of fans who we're artificially prevented from even playing pre-order copies while

Looks promising. Not sure what I think of the concept of a 'Manager' (user who was the original submitter) being the only one to approve changes, seems a bit odd considering the rest of the community aspect. A similar site, tosdr.

I've found the Entypo [1] collection to be a more useful set of icons for small sizes. The glyphs are well drawn and have a very consistent style throughout. Well worth a look. [1] http://www.entypo.com/

Great intro for such a game. Unique and engaging use of the social media UI we're used to seeing.

The actual company logo [1] uses Helvetica (apart from that bizarre 'C'), however the font printed on the back of the plate seen in the article [2] is definitely Arial. Note all the angled terminations. [1] http://myrev

Although Evian isn't, the Skype logo is based on some customized variant of Helvetica Rounded. Other logos that clearly aren't Helvetica are the the Crate & Barrel logo pictured in the article, which is Arial, and the American

I've been using a userscript [1] for the past year that adds the feature to search results and the like. Huge improvement, and with a little custom CSS styling the additional pages are appended more seamlessly. The feature I appreciate

Hmm, from some posts on the bitcointalk forums it seems to be run by a previous scammer. Some people have had luck using it though, so ymmv I guess. Edit: yup, see all the links here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin&#x2

Actually very good, especially considering the 5 dollar price. The Horrible Logos variety is just a bit too sketchy, although I can see the fun in it.

This will likely be buried beneath the upvoted comments, but does anyone know if there's a backup of the entire skins and plugins database? Would be a tragedy to lose all the brilliant work that's been created over the years, even

One of my biggest gripes with the new comment system. Now threaded comments provide no context for which user has replied to who. Especially confusing for longer threaded replies. The new system really should have been opt-in, like their ot

This is absolute gold. Glad there's some humor on HN from time to time, as well as showing 4chan isn't just /b/

I'm amazed this is the only link about this major change on HN with any comments that I can see. Everything about this update is a mess. Requiring linked G+ account without properly informing users (causing mass confusion), the visual
