Comment Re:How do they know (Score 1) 151

4chan already censors child pornography, so this wouldn't really serve any purpose except providing unnecessary censorship to mostly innocent (albeit mildly depraved) people. And before someone tries correcting me saying "what about Anonymous hackers?", Anonymous's underground has nothing to do with 4chan, except hold them in contempt.

Smoke and mirrors? I live in Texas, and have crossed the border to deal with clients in Mexico, and the LAST thing the border is, is smoke and mirrors. I suggest if you speak as though you know what you're talking about, you actually know what you're talking about.

Comment Misleading (Score 1) 432

What this article doesn't address is what comprises a "gamer". Someone that has an Angry Birds app or plays Farmville for a certain amount of time, by the standards of most studies, is a "gamer". If you were to eliminate those and focus only on those that either play their consoles regularly, or "actual" computer games, you'll find the female to male ratio will drop drastically, thus explaining why they're the underrepresented demographic in video games.

Comment Way to spoil a potential opportunity. (Score 2) 361

What I don't get is why is this shit always publicized? Instead of waving their dicks around every time a dumb fuck is caught, it'd make more sense to use that caught individual to provide new leads, and catch as many as possible before the rest of the organization goes further into hiding. Seems to me they're doing it purely for PR, rather than because it's their damn job.

I seriously doubt there are 32 members of Anonymous's inner circle tied to the hacks, much less all in Turkey. Chance are they detained /b/tards that are guilty of nothing more than posting pony threads and trolling, thinking all of Anonymous knows anything about hacking. And judging by the pics on the site, I doubt it's even legit.

Comment Regarding Wii U's projected demographic (Score 1) 140

Absolutely right about Nintendo not marketing to a cohesive demographic. On one hand, the graphics will be significantly better, which will appeal mostly to "hardcore" gamers, but on the other, they have a bulky, expensive controller which is the most un-ergonomic piece of crap I can think of, appealing more to trendy demographics and families seeking a more interactive approach to casual gaming. Considering the recent /. thread regarding the average gamer age being 38 (I personally think it's in the twenties, but the point I'm making is still valid), Nintendo is seriously missing out on the "hardcore" gamer demographic, especially with the fact that even the well-established games with potential such as Zelda cater to preteens with the storyline and level of difficulty of the fighting system and puzzles. Wii U's attempt to appeal to everyone is going to consequently appeal to no one - the family demographic being off-put by the cost resulting from the increased processing and graphics, and the "hardcore" gamers being off-put by the controller. And if that post itself was not cohesive, my apologies. I'm drunk off my ass.
