  9. Re:GTA online not stand alone on GTA Online Is Full Of Abandoned Modes (kotaku.com) · · Score: 1

    Was there a difference between GTAV and GTA5?
    I seem to remember everyone talking about a new "first person" mode back when it was released on the Xbone, but it felt like I'd already finished it years before on the Xbox 360, so I didn't bother purchasing it (or an Xbone).

  10. Huh? on eBay Is Dumping PayPal For Dutch Rival Adyen (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait... so eBay owns PayPal, but is going to stop using it? Huh?

  11. Really? on GTA Online Is Full Of Abandoned Modes (kotaku.com) · · Score: 0

    When the game first launched, this variety was great.

    I never really understood this.
    Was GTA Online different to GTAV? Because it looked almost identical when I saw a mate playing it a few years after I had finished the SP game.
    When I bought Grand Theft Auto V on my Xbox 360 back in 2013, there was basically only a racing mode (which I didn't really care for) and no one to play against, and that was it.

    Is this one of those things where the release some kind of half-arsed game and then release another identical-but-incompatible game that you're forced to purchase?

  14. Australia on FCC Chairman Slams Trump Team's Proposal To Nationalize 5G (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Follow Australia's lead.
    Allow him to put through his plan, then wait until he's out of office, change the implementation so that it's twice as expensive for half the network, and make it look like Trump's plan was rubbish from the start.

  22. Wrong on Facebook Announces That It Has Invented a New Unit of Time (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The name itself is a portmanteau of the phase "frame-tick," which is also why you might want to use them.

    No it's not! It's a word chosen to sound cool and look *roughly* like those words smooshed together, but where did the 'L' come from?
    It's an engineered one. The portmanteau equivalent of a backronym.

    Also, I don't want to use them, even if they do change the name to "Frick".
    But thanks for asking.

  23. Can't pay-to-win if there are cheaters.
    Or gamble on matches.
    Let's face it, that's the main reason for the police getting involved.
