@danRhul if you've got a PS3, look into doing a short subscription to PS+, they just announced 12 games they're giving PS+ subscribers for free (as long as you maintain a PS+ subscription, anyhow)
I can't remember the differences, just remember that I was programming something recently that manipulated images, and C# only lets you use DPI but I had the PPI. You can definitely convert between the two I think
@tiddy yeah, you have to pay for netflix on top of XBL gold (ie, you have to be a netflix subscriber and a gold subscriber to use netflix on the console)
@fbueckert if I could explain microsoft's business practices, I'd write a book and make millions, and then use my knowledge to push all my competing authors out of the market, then drag the antitrust case out to the point when a sympathetic administration was in power and have it buried.
@RESPAWN I've got a tivo, and it supports a bunch of these things, but we never use it, despite the fact that we've got amazon prime and therefore whatever video benefit comes with that.
@RESPAWN Its not exclusive to that. For the BBC channels (1-4) regional services are broadcast. I.e. Scotland, Wales, London, Northern Ireland etc etc, largely their programming is the same, but there is some difference in programmes. And obviously, news and weather is regionally broadcast on those channels
@fbueckert Ah, we have to pay for phone service as well as broadband over here. Even if you aren't plugging anything in. Not entirely sure if that's true for cable though
Are there actually "maphacks" out there? I don't see how this is possible but alot of people seem to be talking about them. Personally I would never use them and I think they ruin the game. But, are there such things as map hacks? If so how do you report players using them? Most important what ar...
@MarkTrapp Yup. Was just reading about that. TBH, I'm starting to get annoyed at the number of sites that seem to keep losing my usernames and passwords.
Oh! And super pet peeve of mine. You sign up for some forums and then get an email. "Thanks for signing up! Your password, in case you forget it, is: password123."
Really? You just emailed my password to me. In plain text.
@danRhul I've actually gotten in the habit of using a not very secure password when signing up for sites, just to test the waters and see if they will do that.
I'll go back later and change it to something more secure.

Troop Academies give a 50% strength bonus to troops recruited on the planet where the Academy is located. Does the bonus apply to conventional troops only, or do clones and robots benefit from it to?
*WITCH DOCTOR RUNS TO SAVE BLACK MAN WITCH DOCTOR: OMG THE BUTCHER, ANOTHER POINTLESS RESURRECTION OF A 1997 DIABLO CHARACTER WITH NO EXPLANATION BUTCHER: AH FRESH MEAT!!!!!!!!!!!
Act 1 It was clear that was Tyreal ... Act 2 yeah no duh that is belial, kulle is going to turn on you and that black soul stone screamed this is a bad idea
Act 3, not much story, awesome level of fun/action/engagement
Act4 was very unepic after the constant sense of danger Act 3 gave me.
And she wasnt a girl :P

What gets me the most in Act II is that you know you're fighting Belial the Lord of Lies yet Leah, you and Tyrael immediately assume Adria isn't at least an illusion

"oh my mom's alive this isn't at all convenient or contrived in a city where the demon in charge of deception is running the show"
The entire rest of the story became impractical to me when everyone said 'Hell yeah lets put this stone they dismembered someone for trying to make back together again... Oh and lets resurrect the guy that tried to put it together in the first place!'
oh look, zombies are everywhere, and demons are infesting practically every square inch outside the town walls. clearly my uncle was a nutjob for thinking there could be something wrong in the world.
hmm, a man who is twice the size of everyone I know just crashed through the cathedral ceiling, and survived, along with hunks of his blue flaming sword. must just be that time of year, y'know, Manfallingfromtheskyvember.
Anywho, yeah, D3 was a story fail... the reliance on the AH to solve loot dropping issues seems.. another large fail for a game that is 90% a loot drop grind now not being a loot drop grind.
I still enjoy the game and will keep going to at least inferno.. but Overall I thought the game was going to be more than this.
I don't really understand what is so good about Protoss Motherships. They call them the "ultimate Protoss unit", but when I built one, it wasn't very good. I understand that they can teleport units, but other than that, what can they do?
I've recently purchased the Humble Bundle V and have been having an absolute riot with the games given. The one problem I'm running into though, is that whenever I launch Psychonauts and run a game, the Camera lists to the right slowly and I can't get it to stop.
Strangely enough when I zoom in ...
@agent86 Just wondering if anyone had any strong opinions on the site one way or another that I wouldn't have heard about, not being in the coding field. I'm thinking of going through the Web Fundamentals stuff actually.
It would seem their entire system is community driven so the quality of what you are going to learn is also not necessarily monitored to any standards.
I am a college student and I am supposed to be creating a business plan for a school project. I decided to create a faux video game company in order to satisfy the criteria of the project, but I've run into a snag: what catagory of business does a company that creates video games fall under?

I am, in general, more skilled at front-end critique and testing than I am at back-end stuff (this applies to several areas of critique for me, from beta testing games to website functionality).
