Comment In: Blizzard VP 'Surprised' Over Response To Diablo III Online Requirement [News - 08/05/2011 - 01:47]

No, the majority is busy ...

No, the majority is busy playing the games they like while the minority is bitching about the same game. You see it in MMOs all the time. The majority are too busy having fun. I'll probably play D3 at some point, but honestly everything Blizzard has done has gone down ...

Comment In: Iwata: Nintendo Execs Taking Pay Cut Over 3DS Sales [News - 07/29/2011 - 10:33]

Seriously, when half the income ...

Seriously, when half the income of the company goes to like 10 people and the other 1000 are risking firings and pay cuts, should be the people running the company that take the pay cut. The goal should be to run the company, which means keeping as many of your ...

Comment In: With Record Demand, EA Confident In The Old Republic Server Scalability, Profitability [News - 07/26/2011 - 04:36]

Comment In: Nielsen: U.S. Gamer Budgets Shifting To Leisure Activities, Mobile [News - 02/18/2011 - 11:45]

I don't buy it either. I think people use the term Gamer way too easily now and anyone with a cell phone that has Bejeweled on it is getting labeled as a gamer these days and that a lot of people are getting counted that probably shouldn't be. That's the ...

Comment In: Nintendo Reveals 3DS's Japanese Launch Details, Battery Life [News - 01/08/2011 - 04:56]

Most of them just don't ...

Most of them just don't understand that no one's actually made any new commercial ready battery improvements in a long time. It's probably using the exact same battery as the DSi. And more powerful features use more power.
