    Ok, I am going to be "that guy" (and yes, I know I do this a lot): the hipster hate on FF7 is a little ridiculous. You cannot ignore the signifigance of the game and its impact on the gaming industry. It may not fit your tastes (which is fine), but to call the product mediocre, overhyped, or even bad is simply ludicrous. Personally, I've played and completed Final Fantasy 1-12 (excluding 11) and Tactics; I've beaten many of those games multiple times. My first experience with the franchise was the original on the NES. For my money, FF7 was the last in the series that actually felt like a proper Final Fantasy game to me. Sure, 9 came close, but it goes off the rails on the last disc. 10 isn't too far off the mark, but its a clear move away from the traditions of the series. 12 is grand, but has a host of problems and could have been named anything, really. I put the question forth: have any of you played 2 and 3? The originals, not the remakes? (I emulated them back in the day with english landguage patches. Yeah, I'm that guy, too). You cannot truly understand a bad FF game until you've played the original 2. And 3 is among the very best in the series, absolutely not to be missed. But hey, that's just me. I still consider the original NES FF is my favorite of the franchise.

    I'm story complete in GTA V, and currently sitting at 88% completetion. I haven't had a lot of time to play lately.

    He does play Dyson. Or are you being sarcastic?

    Non-Civ fans tend to like Civ V a lot more than Civ fans do. In a way, it's good they've brought new fans to the series, but a lot of us old timers hate the game and feel like we've gotten screwed, lol. A bigger potential audience for Civ VI is never a bad thing, though.

    Xbox One's Top Marketer Brags to Advertisers about Kinect's Abilities Of course they are going to use Kinect to monitor user habits and then turn that into advertising revenue. News, but not news?

    WOW... I'm floored. I need a drink.

    Demolition Man is a good movie. It probably shouldn't be, but it is.

    As someone who was with Jack Ryan from the very beginning, NO, NO, NO. Jack Ryan is not James Bond or Jason Bourne.

    Sure, he hasn't written anything worth reading in 15 years, but this is way too young for him to go.

    Continuity with scenes shot earlier with him not wearing a watch (but later in the story). It's that simple.

    The app is a buggy piece of crap.

    You know, there is no way Jesse remains free. His fingerprints are all over everything, including the hand gun and cuffs in the building.

    If you didn't watch it at the time and understand where they went with it, you missed the moment. But, it doesn't really matter here. The ending here was very well done, as was the entire final season. On the flipside of the coin, Dexter's final season was such a mess I haven't even watched the final episode yet. Breaking Bad shows you how to end a series, while Dexter shows you how not to.

    I'm not sure any show will ever top the Newhart ending. But it was a great episode, and a satisfying ending. It fit with the show and didn't seem out of place. Everything it needed to be, and nothing more. Truly excellent work by all involved.

    Which couldn't possibly bring the same power as an enthusiast PC. And why have an enthusiast PC if you aren't going to game with it?
  17. Duke Togo
    I'm 50% in, so me, obviously.

    Campaign is totally free, and that's all I care about.

    Which the overwhelming majority of computer owners don't do.

    Ace Combat Infinity is back to basics, has a completely free campaign mode, and includes some pay features for its multiplayer mode (though, if you're patient, you don't need money there either). I'd link the interview but I'm on my phone and lazy.

    You ever watch someone die from cancer? Killing yourself is preferable.

    Outside of gaming needs, there has been little reason to upgrade to newer PCs in the last four or five years. For the vast majority of computer users on the planet, five year old dual core PCs get the job done for all of their needs. The same goes for most businesses. That's the reality of current technology. Check out the major tech sites, and tell me how many if them are giving heavy coverage to the coming SteamOS. And no, gaming sites don't count.

    Just like Google Drive has replaced MS Office. Oh, wait...

    What PC manufacturers are on board to ship laptops and desktops with the SteamOS installed? Which of the device manufactures, such as AMD, NVIDIA, Creative, Logitech, etc, are going to dedicate developers to produce and update device drivers for their range of products to work for the OS? What major software developers are planning to port their products to the OS? Will you be able to run software such as Microsoft Office suite or Adobe Creative Suite? Right.
