    Create Your Ideal Warrior In 'The Elder Scrolls Online'

    Oops, for 15$/month I meant the equivalent of a new Skyrim every 3 months (instead of 4, sorry for basic math failure)

    Create Your Ideal Warrior In 'The Elder Scrolls Online'

    I don't mind subscription, but they have to be cost effective. If the game is sold 60$, I want about the same content as in Skyrim. If the subscription fee is 15$/month, I want the equivalent of a new Skyrim every 4 months. If the subscription fee is 5$/month, I want the equivalent of a new...

    I'm gonna tell you a secret but don't tell anybody... If you move and don't change your address, all your mail is gonna go to your old house! Even more impressing, the paper envelop won't be enough to guard your personal info from prying eyes! Glad I could enlighten you with this hidden...

    Why Security Is Often an Afterthought on Video Game Websites

    I don't believe it's a problem companies have to solve. Companies should never force you to give them personal information in the first place. That's half the problem right there. The other half of the problem is the users themselves. If somebody went knocking on their doors and ask them their...

    Comcast Lifting Internet Data Cap; Testing New Tiers

    MaddPuppyThe ISP (connection providers) blaming some 10% or less internet hogs on slowing things down is there way of shifting the blame and playing a card trick distracting the average users from the actual problem which according to their own statements is them selling more bandwidth than they...

    Comcast Lifting Internet Data Cap; Testing New Tiers

    Another thing I forgot in my last post, there are only 2 ways you can use more than 300 GB in a month: illegal file sharing or you're trying to replace your TV. In the first case, you can't justify your demands since they are from illegal activities... In the second case, a typical TV bill is...

    Comcast Lifting Internet Data Cap; Testing New Tiers

    First, I'd like to say I'm all for the "no data cap". I hate Comcast and I know how "evil" and greedy they can be. Here in Canada, we DO have data caps. Mine is a paltry 90 GB/month. Using Netflix an hour a day use about 30 GB of this cap on a given month (To be fair, Netflix isn't HD in my...
