When you have a weird little slice of time to fill and you want to game, what do you play? For example, say you just finished a game, and you have 20 minutes before you want to quit gaming for the day. What do you fill that gap with?

To me, this is just another con. I'd rather pay money for a good game then waste hours of my life playing crap for a pittance. The only people than make any real money with these games are the dodgy bastards who publish them.

Erm...I'm not sure to begin with my questions - Why has a gaming company ever given away nail polish in any kind of promotion? 

Next thing you know, we're going to hear that Nintendo bought out Sega. I can see it coming already with all the collabs they have together. Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games, Sonic in Smash Bros among other things.

Precisely, I'm just curious as to why Sony doesn't swoop up Konami - it's a potential goldmine with hits like Castlevania, Metal Gear, Silent Hill and Contra. Metal Gear is one of PlayStation's most iconic series so it'd be a good deal for them.

If I were to place a bet on Nintendo buying any publisher, it would be SEGA.  They've been bedfellows for quite a while now.

Confirmed, Sony have bought Bungie for $3.6 Billion:

It's not surprising but here's the weird thing, it seems that Bungie is going to continue to operate as a independent multi-platform publisher and developer.  So Sony bought them because....  I have no fucking clue!

It's apricated when you post topics in "Gaming News" to link to an article of media detailing the story so it verifiable. No big deal, but I ask that you try and remember to do this in future. Here's a article from Eurogamer I found on the subject.
 
Well yeah, Sony did indeed have to do something to assure thier shareholders that they weren't getting swamped by XBox's growing market share after buying Activision-Blizzard. Not gonna lie, I didn't see this coming and irony is not lost me given that Bungie were the original developers of Xbox's most iconic franchise, but outside that I just hope this isn't part of a plan to make Destiny a PlayStation exclusive because that will not end well. It's not a good franchise, they're not good games and it won't be worth it. PlayStation would make far better use of Bungie if they were to let them develop something else.

Amen to that - we take joy in the simple things.

I reside in Jamaica and it's usually hot all year round but we have a trough in the area so it's quite cold outside at the moment.

At long last, the title to my Camaro has been found! My best friend came over last night to help clean and search, and she found the god damn thing! After months of being in panic mode, I can finally license my car, and start to enjoy it. (so this is what it's like to breathe again) I was about ready to have both a heart attack and an aneurysm at the same damn time. It has a tiny little bit more work to do in the shop, but after that, I'm going for a ride all over town. But no gravel roads. And she gets premium. None of that lower octane shit. I will be waxing her and using Armor All on her all the time. Under no circumstance whatsoever will food or drink be allowed inside her except for me having a soda or water. Fuck everyone else.
BUT I FINALLY HAVE HER BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 

pineapple on Pizza is great

Based on what I know the truth is the complete opposite.
 
Overclocking does not serve much practical purpose anymore, especially where CPU's and gaming performance are concerned.
 
 
Now the uploader is "boasting" a 20 - 30fps difference from a 700Mhz overclock.  They probably just didn't want to wound their own pride but the truth is most of the time the overclock makes little to no difference at all.  Keep in mind as well that video is 4 years old and since most newer games are GPU intensive I'd bet that overclocking the CPU would even less of a difference now.
 
Overclocking the GPU doesn't make that much difference either but it is better and safer, even with just a standard factory overclock:
 

 
When it comes to memory the best idea is to run it at the speed and timings it's rated at, no more no less.  Otherwise you might run to stability issues.

As games are made to run at higher resolutions with more advanced graphics (thus, larger textures) with more animations, AI patterns and programming, they're going to take up more space, it's an inevitability of advances in game development. No doubt some publishers are guilty of of being lazy and not compressing games files like they could and leaving in dead code, but I'd say it's mostly about progress in the technology.

Origin is to EA what what Steam is to Valve, their own indigenous PC Game store and launcher.

My thinking is that Take-two wants to gain more of a foothold in mobile gaming as they can put all their greedy monetization practices in and nobody will complain because the mobile gaming industry is a cesspool.

WWE games in recent years have been nothing short of a glitchy mess and for a premium price too. Add to that, it's published by 2k games - no thanks. I'm definitely avoiding this one.

I remember seeing this and having to borrow my mom's glasses because I thought I was seeing doubles. Honestly, I'm not even sure what to say at this point...

I just saw this today, so I don't know if this is old news or new news since I couldn't find a date on it. But apparently, PETA is wanting Nintendo to add their mascot, Not A Nugget, as a playable character in Super Smash bros. It's a little baby chicken with some kind of gun or something. I'll add a pic as well. Personally, while I support animal rights, I would never get in bed with PETA. They kill and abuse more animals than any other animal rights related organization currently in action. There are animal rights groups out there that are truly fighting for animals, but aren't whoring themselves out to make money. I just can't wrap my head around this kind of blatant money grabbing attempt from something that is so far from games. And the game they chose is really what boggles me. They want to add a character, that is for creatures rights to not be abused, to a game where the objective is to beat the shit out of your opponents.
These assholes have made a major misstep in their logic here.

That is true - our love for videogames is what keeps us playing them.

It does look a lot like Silent Hill with a hint of Resident Evil and a splash of Outlast. That being said, the character movement looks kind of weird - like he has diarrhea and is about crap all over himself kind of walk lol.

Like you say, the movement of the character model looks a bit weird and unnatural.
Aesthetically at least, the game does feel very much inspired by Silent Hill. Hopefully it can receive that bit of extra development time it needs to take it from being quite an average survival horror game, to a great one.

I can't say I'm totally shocked. It's a popular game, but more importantly it's something that's played with creativity. Minecraft is almost only limited by the imagination, so talented, creative people could really make Minecraft content work.
