Personally, I think the vast majority of politicians live in imaginary worlds that have no connection to the common American. Let alone possessing anything close to resembling common sense. Reply +27

Back from the dead: OnLive on what went wrong and what has to go right
There's also the bandwidth issue. Can you imagine trying to stream Onlive over 3G or 4G mobile phones? Cell phone providers would flip out over the bandwidth and block Onlive like Apple's FaceTime app.
People might say using Wifi is the answer, but if I'm using Wifi at home, then why not game on a PC or console instead?
In the future, I believe taking control away from customers will be a really appealing aspect of cloud service for most companies. Reply 0
Blowing on NES cartridges was actually bad for them
Another way to get the games to work was not pushing the cartridge in all the way, then pushing it down and causing it to slam into the tray.
I'll take years of NES experience carried out by millions of people, over a single 30 day experiment any day. ;) Reply +5

Valve's gaming goggles tested, says "credible" AR games 3 to 5 years away
It looks to me like Valve might be trying to patent some design ideas on augmented reality. Anticipating, like Google, that it will take off big in the future. Then manufacturers will license the technology from Valve and build the hardware themselves.
In other words, it looks like Valve is trying to expand it's portfolio into other sectors besides video games. A wise move. The video game market isn't exactly the most stable market out there. Reply +2
Saturday Soapbox: Adult Gaming
One of the few games that has matured nicely is Supreme Commander. I enjoyed playing Total Annihilation in my youth. Supreme Commander actually increased the complexity and enhanced the gameplay over the original Total Annihilation game.
I found that refreshing, rare, and interesting. Then there's the new online games using client-side hit detection, which is horrible. I remember the days when a low ping meant something, now it's all this lag compensation bull, to keep high ping players from complaining about 'their shots missing the target'.
Oculus Rift is the most exciting gaming news I've heard about in a really long time. I knew the Wii, Kinect, and Move controllers where going to flop the second I saw them. I owned a Nintendo Power Glove in my youth, so I learned about motion control gimmicks at an early age. Reply +1
Capcom wants less time between sequels, so is shortening development
I guess that tells us how interested they are in customer feedback. We won't even have time to tell them what we liked about the first game being released, because the sequel to it will already be halfway through development or more.
Sounds like this is really going to lower the quality of Capcom games. Reply +1
Oculus Rift impressions: It's amazing until it makes you want to hurl
If it didn't do those things to a person's senses, then it would be a failure and a gimmick that doesn't work well enough to be a breakthrough in VR technology.
So I see motion sickness as a good thing. Some people might not be able to handle the Rift, but for those who can, it will be a truly immersive experience. Hopefully. Reply +2
