  1. Re:More complicated and less fun on Average Budget For Major, Multi-Platform Games Is $18-28 Million · · Score: 1

    No older games where just better, and no I don't have nostalgia goggles on either. I'm basing that opinion off of me playing old games that I didn't play when I was younger.

    Here's some weak conservative bullshit for you

    I'm fairly certain that's a Calvin and Hobbs reference

    I didn't really like Firefly, but I LOVED the characters in Firefly.

    I actually liked the funny hats version, yes it could have used better acting but hell most series can.

  6. Legend of Galactic Heroes on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 1

    When it comes down to it I guess its hardly SciFi but I just finished the first arc and I love it.

    "XDirtypunkX (1290358)" mentioned elsewhere that Hyundai's solution is the "interlace" pixels make a screen with the resolution of 4096x2160 and when it goes to 3d mode you get 2048x1080 (1080p)

  12. Valve TrackIR on Razer, Valve, and Sixense Working On Motion Control For PC Games · · Score: 1

    If Valve wants to do something with motion tracking they should add support for TrackIR and whatever the open source alt is to the Source engine.

  13. Re:What a great idea! on Netflix Will Delay Renting New WB Releases · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Netflix agreed to this because they are getting a discount on their DVD purchases and letting them cut costs.
     
    Netflix also doesn't have the same business model that BlockBuster has I pay $x a month and I get unlimited rentals, the less I use the service the better it is for Netflix.
     
    WB's research shows that a majority of their sales take place in the first 4 weeks. I assume that they did an analysis and found out that the discount that they give to Netflix will be outweighed by the additional sales.
     
    Netflix has no risk in this deal, actually they may even have a bit to gain, they only buy a limited number of each movie. If one of Netflix's customers buys a movie because they were too impatient to wait for it to appear on Netflix; Netflix now has slightly better customer approval because there will be slightly less of a wait time on some of the new releases.

    That's not at all what's going on, they are adding a 28 day period from when the movie is released on DVD till when it is available on Netflix

    For a pure awesome use of eye tracking see Macross Plus (or Zero maybe). Target selection just by looking at it.

    Of course cost savings are passed to the customer, but you have to take demand and competition into account as well.

    At Chuck E. Cheese's all games are one token which averages out to $0.22 IIRC, the coin slots can also run off of actual quarters if you want, that was usually 0.01% tops.

  25. Re:Credit suck on Microsoft Announces "Game Room," Confirms Natal For Late 2010 · · Score: 1

    Two reasons

    1. Most people don't keep track of the exchange rate and they don't pay attention and don't consider "credits" to be money

    2. Its easier for the live team to set the price of XYZ to 800 credits, and then charge different amounts in different regions .
