Yes, there's a filter for just Prime eligible stuff. I have Prime and like it. It's the only streaming type service I subscribe too, so I can't compare it to the others, and I don't have a Kindle, so the free books don't help me out. I also get decent use of the two-day shipping (especially...

That is the one scene that seemed entirely pointless, I agree. I have a hard time seeing how it will be relevant at any point over the course of the movies.

This. Take for example (Spoiler for later events in the Hobbit for those of you that haven't read it): It takes about 2 pages in the book, while the encounter with the trolls takes up 8. But do you really think that they can do that scene justice in a visual medium like a movie with such a...

I'm reminded of how China Mieville described his novel, Kraken: Del Toro may share his perspective, I get that sort of feeling from the trailer.

Even more amazing than that is that in a world with the Onion and other spoof websites, people don't check the validity of their source before reporting on it. I'm not talking about you, Gilgamesh, but whoever wrote the report you linked you. They quote Super Official News, which is a fake news...

Yep, lots of teary goodbyes and thank you's to everyone, as well as a few "Who wants to burn NCSoft to the ground?".

Officially, the main thing they've been running is an invasion by one of the big bads of the setting, the Rikti, for the past week. There would be attacks across the city zones. Unofficially, players organized a lot of raids and task forces right up to the end, resulting in them needing at least...

Well, that's it. As I type, the servers are shutting down. Only a handful still up. Spent the evening grabbing screenshots, using up saved temp powers, and running task forces and events I hadn't had a chance to before. It's been fun, CoH/V.

There's a lot of framerate complaints with the 360 and PS3 versions as well. http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/14/darksiders-ii-review http://community.darksiders.com/go/thread/view/138731/29315251/?pg=last The Wii U version also has increased draw distances for textures. So there seems to...

I'm merely responding to Frank's statement of the multiplat stuff being downright worse. That's it. I'm not getting into how much better the Wii U stuff should be and whether or not it is.

Ah, I see, you were discussing a different point than me. Understandable. The article along with it points out that same thing.

Really? Huh. Do you have a source for that? I'm guessing you didn't watch the video in the link?

Notice Arkham City isn't one of the games I mentioned. But then, Arkham City on Wii U is a port of a game that's been out for a year already on other systems (so how many sales are they expecting to get?) and was outsourced to another developer. Probably not one they put a much effort into...

You mean other than AC3, DS2, and BO2? All of which look about the same, just slightly different enough that there are people arguing that either side looks just a bit better.

Or the Wii. Nintendo's systems bring out plenty of shovelware that use the gimmick but don't do anything worthwhile with it.

Haven't seen enough of these to say with any certainty, but of the shows I am watching, my vote goes to Sherlock.

While the Wii U isn't high end hardware, it doesn't take much to be as good or better than the other currently active consoles. So developers may not need to intentionally scale back their games for now. Once the next gen of xbox/PS comes out, sure, but there's still some time before that happens.

I didn't say you couldn't, but your characterizations of the reviews didn't match what I was seeing, with reviews generally more favorable to the Wii U version than the Xbox360/PS3 versions. Personally, I'll be more concerned depending on feedback to new games, rather than ports of older ones...

Which don't sound close to calling it a technical mess. Again, sounds like some minor visual issues (IGN can only say it's "arguably uglier", so it doesn't sound like a huge difference), potentially resulting from launch day unfamilarity with the system.
