    or pre-purchase the whole season for rock bottom price.
    With Telltale you're pretty much guaranteed to be entertained, if not challenged. BTTF was a cake walk but very well written and acted. Sam & Max does have a couple of bits that will make you reach for the Internet and was similarly well written (Although the ending to Season 3 did leave some fans very annoyed)

  2. Re:Android tablets on Samsung Tablet Ban Lifted For Most of EU · · Score: 1

    3G is already gone on the base models of both the iPad and Xoom (and probably others).
    GPS is still nice (it means it can still be useful while on the move sans 3G, so long as you've cached your maps beforehand)
    I agree that 2 cameras is a bit overkill, and lugging a tablet about to take pictures is very very awkward and the user-facing camera is all that's really needed (for video chat ofc). I've only used it once or twice, and that was for impromptu baby videos.

    Really? I've got a Xoom and it's been awesome. The only app I'm missing so far is Minecraft Pocket Edition, but not even the iPad has that.

  9. Re:It feels old and already seen on World of Warcraft Finally Loses Subscribers · · Score: 2

    People have tried ditching the Trinity, only to have it rear its head again later in the development, mostly because it's much easier to create content and balance for the Trinity (since it's been done that way for the last 10 years)

    I hope I'm wrong, it's always nice to see developers try new things, but it'll be interesting to see how they work in party-dependence into the game. It'd be a shame if it devolved into everyone being a self-healing tank that eats giants for breakfast and the only reason to group up is because you have to kill something quicker than you mana bar emptying.

  22. Re:Reboot on What Happens After the Super-Hero Movie Bubble? · · Score: 1

    Well, we had our cycle of Crime films in the 90s/early 00s. Goodfellas, Lock Stock, Snatch, Reservoir Dogs, Usual Suspects, Pulp Fiction and Oceans 11 among the better ones, with loads of tripe in there too (I'm looking at you 51st State. Your only redeeming feature was Samuel L Jackson in a Kilt), 2000s has had super hero films and spy thrillers.
    With the Iraq war and Afghanistan winding down, and the looming threat of terrorism, I think we'll be seeing more War films and more Black Comedies in the next decade.

  24. Re:If the guy is that hated... on James Murdoch's Defense Crumbles · · Score: 1

    most people don't realise who owns the papers they read. They all assume each tabloid is a separate entity owned by different people.
    In the UK Murdoch doesn't own the entirety of BSKYB, but does own much of it. As such, Sky News is slightly less biased than Fox. But only just.
    We have Sky, BBC and ITN as our main TV news providers. The fact that you need Cable or Sky to view Sky News does tend to keep its viewership down, especially since most people will watch the old terrestrial channels out of habit that means BBC and ITN (ITV, Channel 4) although Channel 5 does get it's news from Sky, Channel 5 has rarely been taken seriously as a channel since it's inception.
    Various radio stations get their news from these sources too. Most of the radio stations in the UK are BBC owned, thus get BBC News. Most of the independent commercial stations get their news from Sky. Most Local radio stations get their news from their parent company (Eg Bauer group, who own about 40 local and national stations) and normally report on local events, and scavenge a few national events from other news sources.
    Radio news normally lasts about 5 minutes and consists of a bulletin run-down and is normally just an "OMG something happened, go watch TV to find out more!"

    implying that people can only have one priority and that getting upset at anything less than inhuman suffering is somehow wrong. As narrow minded and vicious as the people it supposedly mocks.
