1. FIFA 13
Video game quality has come a long way since the Pong days of yore. The characters, scenery and movements controlled on the screen are so lifelike now, hours of play will leave you questioning what is real.
That is, until your entire FIFA team starts battling a mutant-sized goalie, or your motorcycle flies away in Grand Theft Auto. Game glitches have become so popular for their hilarity that some games intentionally cater to such an aesthetic.

GTA V makes $800 million in one day It's expected to break the record for quickest entertainment release to make $1 billion
GTA V makes $800 million in one day
It's expected to break the record for quickest entertainment release to make $1 billion
Grand Theft Auto 5 made $800 million in sales on the game’s first day of release.
This is the highest launch-day revenue for a GTA game and the largest sum of money for any Take-Two published game ever.
Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 still holds the record for quickest entertainment product to reach $1 billion in sales, but it accomplished this goal in 15 days. It seems like Rockstar’s GTA V is set to smash this record.
To put this in perspective, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 actually reached this milestone two days before 2009′s Avatar. Yesterday, analysts predicted that GTA V would reach $1 billion in sales in just the game’s first month of release.
“All of us at Take-Two are thrilled with the initial response to Grand Theft Auto 5. Once again, the team at Rockstar Games have outdone themselves, setting the entertainment industry’s new standard for creativity, innovation and excellence,” said Strauss Zelnick, chairman and CEO of Take-Two, in a press release today.
GTA IV shipped 3.6 million units ($310 million) on launch-day in April 2008, 6 million units ($500 million) during its first week, and 11 million units ($900 million) during the game’s first month. To date, GTA IV has shipped 25 million copies.

TouchFire Keyboard Overlay Unveils Update for the iPad Mini
TouchFire Keyboard Overlay Unveils Update for the iPad Mini
Despite a number of competitors on the market, most notably the Android-powered Nexus 7 and Galaxy Tab, Apple’s iPad has remained at the head of the pack in terms of mainstream success.
That’s probably why it came as a bit of a surprise when, after the 10-inch iPad captured a huge portion of the market, Apple’s 7-inch iPad Mini appeared to be an even bigger hit among users.

Now, as rumors circulate around an impending update to the device in October, a popular iPad accessory is prepping its second act in anticipation of the release of the new device. The Seattle-based makers of the TouchFire iPad keyboard, a translucent, silicone rubber device that magnetically attaches to the iPad, are now introducing a modified version of the device for the iPad Mini.
“It took us eight months to develop the TouchFire for iPad Mini," said TouchFire co-founder Steve Isaac, a veteran of the tech industry who worked at Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and helped develop early tablet technology at a company called GO. "Since [the iPad mini] is about half the size of a full size iPad, it’s a much harder problem."
“The thing that’s probably the hardest to deal with on tablets is probably input, typing, getting data in,” Isaac continued. “The solution that we have is designed to be something that works well with a human being — we have fingers, we’re tactile. We like things that we can touch and feel. That's the angle we are coming at it from.”

Like the original TouchFire, the new version will be framed by a Kickstarter campaign with an identical funding goal of $10,000, a figure the original campaign far exceeded, ultimately drawing in more than $200,000 from supporters.
With that level of enthusiasm and funding success for the original version of the device, it’s reasonable to ask why the two-man startup is returning to its Kickstarter roots.
“We have some product design issues that we want to get feedback on and Kickstarter is absolutely the best way to do that,” Isaac said.
The update will come with not only a keyboard, but also a separate case for the tablet. Early adopters will be able to purchase the new TouchFire keyboard and case for the iPad Mini via Kickstarter for $44.95 — assuming the campaign's success.
“We actually really like doing product development the Kickstarter way,” Isaac said. “It allows us to share the highs and lows of the whole process with an audience of actual customers and to get their feedback at critical junctures during the product development cycle.”

Reddit Bans 'Find Navy Yard Shooters' Subreddit
Perhaps Reddit has learned its lesson.
Hours after a subreddit cropped up, supposedly dedicated to identifying the gunmen who infiltrated the Washington Navy Yard and killed at least 12 people on Monday, was banned from the social news site. Reddit came under heavy criticism for its role in sparking a witch hunt during the Boston Marathon bombings in April.
