    Poor Apple TV App Sales Letting Down Developers

    In related news, Pandora just released a tvOS app. Most Apple TV owners probably just AirPlay from their phones, so I'm not sure if anyone cares.

    Poor Apple TV App Sales Letting Down Developers

    Actually, it does as of yesterday. You need to update to tvOS 9.1. I have a 4th-gen Apple TV in the living room and a Roku 2 in the bedroom. I originally bought the Roku for two reasons: the Plex client and Amazon. Despite owning a number of Apple devices, I like my media to be platform...

    Making Female Video Game Characters With Average Body Types

    Agreed, but it's also unfair to judge an entire industry using examples from 10 years ago without acknowledging that some progress has been made. 2014 Lara is a far cry from 2003 Lara, even if she does still conform to a certain standard of beauty.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti Video Card GPU Review @ [H]

    Great review, but I have to disagree with this statement. It's fine to say "4K gaming at 60fps requires SLI setup X," but 'enjoyment' and 'playability' are much more subjective. I am greatly enjoying The Witcher 3 in 4K at high settings on a single 970. I haven't checked the fps, but by my...

    The Complete Guide To Building Or Buying A Standing Desk

    ...and both of those jobs were/are bad for your health. I recommend understanding the problem before you belittle it.

    The Complete Guide To Building Or Buying A Standing Desk

    My gf's employer provides every employee with a sit/stand desk, and my own is following suit when we move to a new office next month. My anecdotal evidence is better than yours!

    Looks like they're going as far north as Sandy Springs.

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    It's perfectly ok. I think the argument is for more variety, which is what we do have in other media. Take a look at Hollywood: plenty of movies with sexy women, but just as many with strong female characters that aren't overtly sexualized. People have a lot of choice when they want to see a...

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    I was using sarcasm to suggest that if any of his coworkers were uncomfortable with his shirt, we wouldn't know about it. I get it, I'm a software engineer myself. My work clothes are my everyday clothes. I'm still willing to bet that if your boss came to you and said "hey, we're bringing a...

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    Because the logical outlet for an HR complaint is Twitter? I did not say that the shirt shouldn't be seen in public, only that it does not belong in a professional environment. You might recommend Bayonetta 2 to a coworker you know well, but would you wear a Bayonetta shirt to work? Would...

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    The type of games you enjoy playing in the privacy of your own home has little in common with how you represent yourself and your colleagues in a professional environment. If he wants to wear that shirt out on the street, more power to him, but it's inappropriate for the workplace, and...

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    I dare say that's a good thing, considering the momentum is in entirely the wrong direction. Not that I don't believe you, but who and how?

    Far Cry 4 writer calls gamers terrorists

    Like it or not, the fringe elements have defined this discussion--some of which were, in fact, organized--and they are the sole reason this controversy still persists in the media. Lets face it; the idea that journalism could use a healthy dose of ethics is not all that controversial, in gaming...

    Looking for a new DDL/DTSC card (non-Creative)

    Thanks for the suggestions, all. I decided to give the HDMI out on my 460GTX a try, but it seems that is also not without issues. The first problem I ran into is that it is apparently not possible to send only audio over HDMI; the video card insists on treating the receiver as a monitor. As I...

    Looking for a new DDL/DTSC card (non-Creative)

    I'm currently using a X-Fi Titanium HD with DTS-encoded output to my receiver on a Win7x64 system, and I'm just about fed up with Creative's shitty drivers. Putting the system to sleep never works properly; either the system doesn't go to sleep or the card won't play any sound until I switch...
