  "Did we consider it? No, we didn't consider it,"

  "The main reason being that many countries don't have robust internet connections."

  They didn't consider it? If you have a "main reason" for something, surely that implies something has been considered? So in essence it would seem like they'd like to have done it if enough countries had a robust internet connection. Reply +5

  Listen. It's been said soooo many times. Do people honestly think that blindly asking nobody in particular for a PC release date is going to do anything. I mean anything whatsoever? People make the same comment over and over and over and over again. Yes I feel your pain and it's not that I don't agree with you but when you've read the same "When's the PC version coming out?" comment for the umpteenth time.... please. Just give it a rest.

  For the love of God, will you PC owners stop whinging. It's seriously tiresome; we've heard it all before a gazillion times. Do you think your moaning will make the blindest bit of a difference to when the game comes out on PC? It'll come out when it's done on PC and when the console sales have dried up.

  You'll notice that the player always runs in the direction that the camera turns. There were many points in that video where the guy had turned to look one way and was then stuck having to keep his head turned that way in order to run forward. Reply +2

• After children rack up huge bills, UK government announces investigation into "aggressive" in-app purchases

• MoFo 12/04/2013

  Quite a few people blaming this on "Ignorant parents". Seriously? You know not everyone out there is a geek. There's no flashing bright text when you first turn on your phone that says, "Warning: some games have hidden in-app purchases. You really should set up a password or disable in-app purchases entirely. Like seriously. Do it now". It's only due to some high profile cases in the press that people are starting to become aware of this; or when they get stung by it themselves. I set up a password on my phone for buying any apps but I wasn't initially aware that I could do that when I first got it and I do consider myself a geek. I wasn't even initially aware that such a thing existed as in-app purchases (this is a few years back now). Even so, I'm still paranoid any time I hand my phone over to my daughter in case these sneaky app developers have figured out a way to bypass it.
  
  I personally think all phones should default to not allow any form of in-app purchase. If you want to allow them, you should then be forced to set up a password.
  
  Oh and thankfully I've taught my daughter, through bitter disappointment on her behalf, that when the little pop up message comes up asking if she wants to get extra smurf mushrooms, or however flowery they dress it up, she can't have any. Tough. Cry all you like. Now go draw a pretty picture on a piece of paper instead, dad wants to download porn. Reply +5

• How do you get a job in the game industry? "Give yourself one," Valve tells us

• MoFo 29/09/2012

  A lot of the people I know who have jobs in GI did exactly what he says. They didn't have any qualifications in what they did, they just showed that they have the drive to do something about it. That's why they have jobs.
  
  And to those that say, "but what if you're a graphic artist, sound engineer, develop UIs, story-teller, etc", just read between the lines. You don't HAVE to make a game, you have to show that you have the drive to make and complete something relevant in your field. Reply 0

  Sorry I couldn't get passed the part where he has his exchange with his mum. The repeated use of the word "hing" was bugging me. Is this some new slang the youth use these days? I'm surprised this guy's "ma" didn't pick him up on it! "What're you saying dear? I don't understand you. What's a hing? Oh you young-uns these days! Now go wash your mouth out with soap and water."
  
  If this is indeed a spelling mistake then HOW THE HELL DID YOU MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THREE TIMES IN A ROW!!!!!!!1#1"!$[231l2gfmnvi234r Reply -4

• Oculus Rift impressions: It's amazing until it makes you want to hurl

  So basically one paragraph talks about anything other than motion sickness. Sure I guess that's a deal breaker but you could've summed THAT up in one paragraph and the rest could've told us about what it COULD do for people that don't get motion sickness. I get motion sickness but I'd much rather read about whether this could be a cool piece of kit and what it can do right now. Reply +2

• Gabe Newell: Apple will oust consoles

• MoFo 12/10/2011

  2014: Apple buy EA and Ubisoft prior to launch of new iGame console. All EA and Ubisoft back catalogue games suddenly jump to £79.99 overnight with Apple marketing claiming, "If you don't have Apple games, well...you don't have Apple games."
  
  Sales of all Apple games suddenly jump 15,000% overnight.
  
  In reality, this'll never happen. Apple make products that appeal to (trendy) men and women. No matter how hard they try to market console games to (trendy) women, the vast majority of them will never buy them. That's why Apple will never do this. Reply +1

• OnLive Launches in the UK

• MoFo 22/09/2011

  I feel it's my duty to respond here simply because this thread is so full of miserable negative sods with unalbe to see the woods for the blades of grass.
  
  Yes the majority of you think it's naff. Fair enough. But you're hardly a fair cross-section of the British Public.
  
  There are plenty of hard up families out there that can't afford a £200 console but they're also the type that always manage to find a way to pay for their £30 monthly sky subscription. Point being that to a lot of people, £7/month looks much more affordable than a one off payment of £200.
  
  Also consider that you can play plenty of games for that £7/month. Maybe not new ones, but you don't have to pay any more once you start paying that subscription. Conversely, buy a console and you have to carry on forking out for new games. Then, your average Joe Bloggs will buy a new game in a retail store for £40-£50, not realising they can get it cheaper online or on ebay. So buy a new console and 5 games in your first year and that's at least £400 versus £85.
  
  Furthermore, this sort of thing is perfect for hotels/b&bs that want to allow guests to play games in their room. There alone I can see a massive lucrative market for OnLive.
  
  So by aiming at the poor and hotels they could potential be a comfortably profitable company fulfilling a demand that is very much clear and present.
  
  And before you all start crying that I must be an employee of Onlive since I'm saying something positive about something you all desperately want to slate - grow up!
  
  That was fun. I just hope there're enough people still reading this to get over -100 negative rating from you all. Reply +5

  True Moggsy, but if I bought a £1500 Mac and a £1500 Windows PC, I guarantee you'll spend at least half as much repairing the Windows PC. (disclaimer, I hate Microsoft too). Reply -1

  True. But it is fun.
  
  Seriously though, all smart phones are great and it's vital that there's competition to encourage innovation. Well until they all start suing each other rather than trying to out do each other by making better products. That would be my first law when I become Prime Minister, no lawsuits allowed in the Tech arena. Reply +1

  It doesn't annoy me so much that they haven't reviewed any Android games this time so much as the fact that all the developers seem to concentrate on iPhone, meaning most Android games are either ports or shite and thus there's not much to review. If I didn't despise Apple so much and their rip-off attitude I would love to get an iPhone/iPad but I refuse on principal and I wish more consumers would too. Sadly most iPhone owners are too rich/trendy/stupid to care that they're being shafted by Apple.
  
  P.S. I owned a Mac once and loved it but gradually realised how much Apple squeeze every penny out of you at every conceivable opportunity. Need a replacement fan for your Mac? That'll be £80 for the parts and at least £250 for the labour, unless you paid £300/minute for Apple Care. Need a replacement PC fan? That'll be £15 for parts and you can replace it yourself without fear of Apple disowning you and black-listing you for the rest of your life.
  
  Wow. Rant over. I really need to see a councillor - so long as he doesn't own any Apple products. Reply -1

• 2K Australia developing XCOM game

• MoFo 15/04/2010

  You're right intrepid. Those two original X-COM games WERE turned based and they were the best X-COM games. Hence why people want to see a return to that style of game rather than one of the later lame attempts at taking X-COM beyond turn-based. Reply 0
