ATI's DirectX 10 card benched, bests NVIDIA's 8800

Apr 24th 2007 6:11PM (Joystiq)
Why do people call video cards killer app[lication]s? You do realize that a killer app is in reference to a program, not a physical object.

British ratings board: violent video games less harmful than movies

Apr 24th 2007 6:07PM (Joystiq)
Given that movie violence is much more realistic than video game violence I'd say that is pretty accurate. When was the last time you turned your head in disgust because the results of your gun shots on a 3d model were just too disturbing. As realistic as they want to say it is it is still far from reality.

Gundam, Katamari come to tilt-sensitive Japanese phones

Tilt controls would be easy on the Wii. Tilt the remote in the direction you want the Katamari to go. So complex.

Casual gaming girl power; overall boys rule console market

The definitions are simple: A hardcore gamer is somebody whose primary hobby and use of free time goes towards gaming. A casual gamer is some whose hobby and primary use of free time is not dedicated to gaming but to something else. There are different extremes within each group but the definition still stands.

The problem people have with defining these terms is that they try to describe the person of each type rather than set the criteria.

I was once a hardcore gamer but as I got older I found other hobbies and now gaming takes a back seat to those hobbies which makes me a casual gamer.

DANCE! Online being racist? Nah, just using workaround

I really don't think racism was the cause of this. More than likely, somebody didn't notice.

Schizophrenic man kills, says GTA told him to do it

Apr 4th 2007 10:00PM (Joystiq)
But they don't tell you to stab anyone in GTA. They tell you to beat people or shoot people I don't recall any stab commands.

High school Halo 2 tournament quashed by school officials

They won't let people play a game depicting violence, however unrealistic it may be, but they are perfectly fine with letting kids tackle each other on the football fields or participate in real violence such as wrestling; you know the sports that involve taking out aggression on people for real.

For "on-line game friend's" eyes only

That's not what a real classified cover sheet looks like. It has a red border for one thing.

Sony, Vivendi sued after 'infant' suffers seizure

Mar 30th 2007 9:58PM (Joystiq)
On a technical level any disorder is an inferiority. Subjectively, is a matter of debate but if you have epilepsy you have a defect and thus are inferior. I have certain allergies and skin pigmentation disorder that gives me an extremely high chance of getting cancer which then makes me inferior to those without these conditions. Being inferior does not mean you have to hate yourself.

Sony files for 80GB PS3, says there are no current plans

They should just slap in a 500GB drive and get it over with.
