May 2, 2013 9:41 pm I'm entirely sure this will be taken the wrong way, but some of these definitely make me at least a little bit glad that the organizers of the Toronto equivalent of this show advise against dressing up in elaborate costumes at their show.

April 19, 2013 5:31 pm As someone that's been hoarding MP3s since before Napster, I can say you can totally get nostalgic for things you've only experienced digitally. Hell, I now get nostalgic over poorly encoded 128k MP3s with their swishy cymbals. Plus, you know, webcomics.

April 19, 2013 12:56 pm Myspace's users didn't have a monetary investment in continuing to use it. A new product came along, and bam, everyone switched. Other than giving all of the product away for free (or at least honouring existing purchases), the only possible way to topple that existing investment users have is to have a new product that is so astoundingly good that it's worth spending all that money over again. Its why you don't see many iPhone users that have purchased a lot of apps switching to Android or Blackberry (but you see even long-time Blackberry users ditching that platform in droves).

April 11, 2013 2:15 pm Wait, why do people care what he does with that book now? Were they going to buy it? Did they not read the issue that already confirmed he's a "totally not a racist, you guys" guy not worthy of rational people's attention?

March 25, 2013 12:01 pm Christ, that sounds unfulfilling.

March 25, 2013 11:54 am Even as someone that's played video games for nearly thirty years, I have no idea what this game is supposed to play like from looking at this. Can someone explain it? The gameplay footage makes it look like Diablo. Is it like Diablo? I feel old.

February 7, 2013 5:43 pm Maybe I spend too much time on tumblr (okay, I definitely do), but I'm still confused by this whole franchise. Are we supposed to think that it's sexist objectification or that it's feminist empowerment?
