    Crytek: Xbox 720 Coming at E3 2012

    I love my PC. It's eagerly awaiting BF3. But seriously, except for the people like me who hang out on this site, most people don't want to be on some sort of an upgrade treadmill; they don't want to troubleshoot compatibility; they don't want to update drivers; they don't even want to...

    Rumor: Wii 2's CPU, Price and Name Revealed

    I just want to add, all this is moot to me if Nintendo doesn't get their online gaming act together. The Wii network simply blows. (friend codes? no voice?)

    Sony: PSN Outage Could Go On Through Saturday

    What attack? Until Sony makes a serious claim about an attack with supporting evidence this is just a rumor (started by one of their developers). It's convenient to blame mysterious outsiders for your own screw-ups.

    Rumor: Wii 2's CPU, Price and Name Revealed

    It's not a 4870. It's an R700 based chip (which the 4800 series used). It's a pretty great piece of architecture and will certainly be able to handle 1080p--especially considering how console graphic chips are optimized far more than their equivalent PC counterparts. If there's an...

    Star Wars Blu-ray Release Date Set for Sept. 16

    maestintaoliusI did what now? You stupidly posted your comment in place where when I hit the quote button with the intention of quoting the person above you I instead, quoted you. Obviously, the error is entirely yours and you owe me a apology... It's possible others might see it differently...

    Where's the edit button? Need "know" to be "no"

    Star Wars Blu-ray Release Date Set for Sept. 16

    maestintaoliusHeck, forget the new generation, I'm in my 30s and I'm getting sucked into The Clone Wars. Some of the plots and character development in those is better than the movies.That said, I have no interest in the blu-ray version, the story will still be the same and the ewoks will still...

    NASA Confirms Discovery of Arsenic-based Life Form

    XatosI laugh at the people who put so much faith in science and man. Everyday we find out we're wrong. Too funny. I laugh at people of faith. If it were up them we'd be slitting the throat of a goat every year to make it rain.

    Burglar Stops Mid-robbery to Watch Porn

    Sounds like a meth head looking for quick cash for his next score. They're so screwed up even very simple cause and effect relationships evade them. I can completely by that one of them would get sidetracked during a robbery.

    Nintendo: No Wii Price Cut, Sorry!

    CEO and marketing 101. Don't announce an upcoming price cut or even hint that one might be coming. It completely undermines current sales as customers will wait. There's no story here as it's not conceivable that he would answer differently even if there was a massive price cut coming tomorrow.

    Pilot Who Refused Body Scan May Lose His Job

    Do the baggage handlers, mechanics and guys working on the tarmac go through a full body scan everyday? How about TSA employees? There's no common sense being exercised here. If we're worried that the pilot is going to sneak a bomb through security and pass it off to another plane then it's...

    Pilot Who Refused Body Scan May Lose His Job

    Security isn't really all that difficult but it requires profiling which always elicits a knee-jerk "not in the U.S.A." and security people trained to interview passengers. We'd rather turn it all over to technology because we're comfortable with people looking at TV screens. We shouldn't be...

    Bungie Lightly Spanks Cheaters in Halo: Reach

    kinggravesPeople who have a problem with spending time trying to accomplish things in games can go ahead and stop gaming. It's people like that that caused devs to think most games these days need to be easy enough for toddlers to beat it. No-lifers are sad individuals in the real world, but...

    Bungie Lightly Spanks Cheaters in Halo: Reach

    So what? Seriously. They bought the game if they want to unlock everything quickly let them. Some of us hate unlocks with a passion (along with day one dlc and all the other tricks that gimp a game for new players). In a multiplayer game everyone should have access to the same classes and...

    Apple ''iTV'' Losing 1080p Playback, Gaining Apps

    But can it stream Netflix? Snark.
