  • Stephen Colbert to Tackle GamerGate Tonight

    Stephen Colbert to Tackle GamerGate Tonight

    On tonight's episode of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert is setting his sights on GamerGate.


    This was first teased by a Twitter post from Anita Sarkeesian in which she posted a picture of her sitting behind the desk of the Colbert Report. Supporters of GamerGate have somehow already fooled themselves into thinking this is a good thing, that Anita is only there because she's a "professional victim." They are also apparently under the belief that just because the...

    YouTube Finally Delivering on 60fps Promise

    It appears as though YouTube is finally starting to deliver on the promise it made back in June that will allow video creators the ability to upload and play videos at 60 frames per second. Some new videos uploaded today now play back at a wonderful 60fps, a huge step up to the 29.97fps playback for every single other video. There are a couple of catches, however. First, you need to use Chrome. This is presumably because of Chrome's much better support for HTML5 video playback. Second...

    GameStop to be Closed on Thanksgiving

    I'm not really sure if this is news. Is this news? I don't even know anymore since I can't even remember the last time I set foot inside a GameStop. However, it seems as though it's worth at least mentioning that all 6,600 GameStop stores will be closed on Thanksgiving. They're doing this out of "respect of (their) store associates."
    At GameStop we often use the phrase “protect the family” in reference to our business. A large part of what that means to us is to not open any
