    That pet rock might be a good mate for Boo.

    Wait, if someone got their "loot bag," wouldn't that imply they were shipping the physical KS tier stuff? I sure haven't gotten anything that implied they've done anything towards that yet. (Or was that one thing a special case, shipped earlier/separate times?) I figured the OP was talking about the inventory stash thing in the last update, which could sorta be seen as that magical "loot bag" in some rpg games of past.

    This. They should definitely take up a companion slot. Altho, in terms of the defenseless part, I did like how in Dungeon Siege they were at least able to do a little kicking to defend themselves. They still largely tried to run away, however (a few kicks if cornered, then running away if they could), eg, they weren't combat helpers, it was just defensive. Seemed to be a nice way to do it. I have a feeling tho, that pack mules would be largely extraneous, since the inventory already will have a similar concept built in to it. So unless they'd be actual pet-companions (permanent/travel with you, combat, skills, ala MMO's) instead, I don't see the gameplay benefit/attraction...they'd have to give Monty Hallish extra "stashing" space to seem worth using...and if they felt like giving that much carrying space, they could just do that with the backpack system, which they're already making. Less time/resources that way.

    Very nice. My husband can build all kinds of stuff, but he's more of the practical side rather than the craft side, if you get what I mean. That piece looks nice enough that even I, who cares little about furniture things, would find it nice to display somewhere. Altho, I'd probably use it for something other than storing wine since I don't drink.

    Not too much for me on GoG at the moment either, but I've liked how they've been expanding. For some of the indie games now, I check GoG first...since I'd much rather buy it there then on Steam. Or even some of the older games (like Prince of Persia). One day GoG will rule the world. At least in my dreams.

    Noooo! ... well, my pocketbook mostly survived the last round, let's see if I can keep it in control this round too.

    Total Recall (remake) - not that I was expecting much in the first place, but yeah, ok, that wasn't very good. The whole "The Fall" (elevator through the center of the Earth, haha) and split land areas isn't nearly as interesting as Mars. And the ending was way over the top.

    I love the convo/commentary bits. Good stuff.

    Not to be rude, but people who believe that gaming companies should design their video games based on what-if considerations for 10-12 years in the future give me a great laugh.

    Made a big bowl of Caesar salad (just a simple one) to go with dinner tonight, but since I made it ahead of time, hubby and I polished it off already. My fave store-bought Caesar dressing is Brianna's Asiago. A bit strong flavored, but awesome. After dinner, we'll be settling in to watch that remake of Total Recall. Heat and blankets to chase the cold weather away, good food, movie ... another awesome day in Candyland!

    Tri-tip can be awesome, depending how it's done. Those slo-cooked BBQ rub ones are divine. Not a tri-tip, but making a beef roast right now, in fact. Any time is the right time for beef.

    I have a feeling the majority of people will think the game looks just fine, with the choices being given (and a lot of thought seems to have gone into those options, which I appreciate). I know we all like a game to look pretty on our personal screens and have a PoV that looks nice to our eyes, but honestly, I think some of you are putting a little too much emphasis on the resolution/scale issue. This isn't Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. Guess I'm not very geeky in this area tho...gameplay over resolution nitpicks for me any day.

    I'm not sure precisely. I think it's due to how social media stuff is now getting integrated with other websites and whatnot. Occasionally I see links that have a rogue "/!/" in it, and the only thing I have noticed is that I only see it if it's picking up on my Facebook or something, and it often isn't necessary as part of the link (and can cause issues). I don't see any difference in blockable scripts between the two links, but I use NoScript. There's no difference in blockable scripts that I can initially see (some scripts don't show up in NoScript until you allow another one first). Does have facebook-com (not facebook-net) as one tho. ... maybe scripts have nothing to do with what you're seeing tho.

    Voodoo! ...I have nothing against ATI cards. They're a fine option. I just tend to prefer nVidia's software interface/options and drivers. Plus I could care less about who might have that slight performance edge per new card release. Started with them, they haven't given me any trouble personally, so I stick with them. I don't like change I guess.

    That's fine, but it all depends on what the consumer ends up doing, doesn't it? They can plan and push all they want, but it doesn't mean people will buy. Think of all the people who refused to switch to Vista (or even Win7) from XP forever and ever and ever. I know that's not the same, but the point is ... you might be surprised how many consumers are tired of buying (when they still have something that works "fine"), especially when their wallets are pinched. Anyway, I'm not against it happening faster or anything. But those tech journals/articles/conventions/innovators/companies etc. can predict and push all the time ... doesn't mean it'll happen that fast in real world application. You'll have some tech-geeks who will buy fast, but the "masses" typically are a lot slower to make changes like this. That's all I was saying. It's not buying the latest iPad or iphone for cool points.

    Bankruptcy laws in the US....ah well, this kinda sucks. I'm not educated on this sort of thing, but often feels like these kind of deals can be iffy long term (for the sellers claiming things will be "ok," I mean), but I hope the buyer in short term, at least, leaves well enough alone and won't meddle with South Park release or Obsidian's development of it etc. :/
  19. LadyCrimson
    I think such changes don't become the "norm" until you can buy one for about $300 (monitor price I mean, not laptop). Either that or the economy is having a big boom era, which it's not. So...I'll give a wild prediction that it'll be more like 5 years before it even comes close to being as common as 1080 is now. Most people I know still don't even have 1080 laptops ... because they don't want to buy one.
  20. LadyCrimson
    Such monitors might be available before too long, but I think the time when the majority of people will afford/have them (and thus create an actual serious need for games to accommodate them) is still a while off.

    Hub's family that lived locally split too much and a central "thing" stopped being a family thing to do. My own family...big gatherings are never my thing so I prefer to see them individually other times of the year instead. On our own, hubby and I don't do anything special. No presents, no special dinners made. It's funny because I'm not into "xmas" per se, but I did like the decorations (including avatars, haha). Sadly, while I like having a tree, it's a waste just for us so I stopped. We may not get a tree anymore but I was thinking about buying a small santa hat, because black cats always look so cute in one.

    *looks at those amazon links then does her own Search for something...* Geez, people want $50-150 for NES GunNac? Did I toss that out recently? I don't "know" that, but it wouldn't surprise me I suppose. I decided not to pledge to it anyway...it's one that's better to wait for a review or something first.

    Alternated between watching a PBS broadcast of The Fab Four (a very good Beatles tribute band) "Ultimate Tribute" show and the last episode of The Voice. Musically, I preferred The Fab Four, but seeing Peter Frampton and Terry McDermott sing "Baby I Love Your Way" together was pretty cool. I know it's popular to dislike/rag on the Beatles now, but I still love 'em.
  24. LadyCrimson
    Even if you're not into shows like The Voice, this might be amusing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpUhpFSR-rE ...I like CeeLo but think I'm going to like Usher better, and I'll definitely like almost anyone over Christina.

    If it's accessible while travel-camp-resting (vs. only in certain locations) that's actually a fair/reasonable way to look at it. I can go with that.
