"We don't want this game to be a slot machine of loot" PRAISE BE TO MATT

I remember it was the ONLY problem DA2 had when I played it through, thrice. Wait, am I really the only person who had a problem with the thing? Because I'm the only one that complains about it.

I thought the article mentioned it being a full title. And South Park is set to have a completely different game as a downloadable in the future. I could try double checking. It does seem strange that we're looking at a sidescrolling game that uses turn-based combat as retail.

Tex Murphy: Pandora Directive, Another World, Ultima 7, Sanitarium, and Crusader: No Regret. Was going to pick up the Spellforce games, but I think I'll see what Steam's christmas sale is like. If that's even 25% off, it'll be the same price as gog's 50% off.

I've now beaten all the guild quests in Skyrim. So I think I can put that down for a while. I may go back to Metal Gear Solid 2 HD Edition. Or I may read a book.

Daywatch. Significant improvement over Nightwatch. But I will hold it as evidence that not all happy endings are good endings. Troll Hunter. I enjoyed it. I didn't feel tense or scared, but it was a fun watch.

The extended version shows that entire life. He tries it again later and fails. He misses the shot, but makes it back in the plane.

That was simply hilarious.

According to that, he left Obs 2 1/2 years ago. But only wrote Ziet's recommendation last month. Oh dear.

What, seriously? No, not seriously. The Red Cross held a sidebar at a convention to discuss the idea that games should promote International Humanitarian Law. That's pretty much all it is. Daily Mail reported a stupid interpretation of it. Kotaku reported on daily mail. Now this news.au is reporting on Kotaku. It's bloggers playing the telephone game.

Your example doesn't work, drm is not there to prevent me from stealing your game - it's more like a carlock installed on all cars, that in some cases prevents legitimate buyers from using the car, because the manufacturer has a problem with people breaking in at the factory. It definitely does seem to work. DRM is there to prevent you from stealing my game. As long as you recognize that I could be a content producer, not just another user. And I still have rights. Look at it similarly to any lease system. Or a bank. Locks on doors aren't strictly about you. They have their own thing to protect and they lock it for that end. Key locks can and have prevented use of what they lock by legitimate users. Lose your keys and you're locked out. Your key gets damaged and you're locked out. The key is manufactured improperly and you're locked out.

Well why have drm then, if it's still and issue with or without? Especially as a large majority of your paying customers find it annoying. I'm skeptical of the idea that it's binary. Can they pirate your product? If yes, your efforts were in vain. It's not a logic I really see people applying to any other crime. Can people break into your house if they want to? If yes, don't buy locks. I can understand, appreciate, and sympathize with the idea that it's annoying to customers, however. And that's a good argument against DRM. But the argument that DRM isn't perfect, therefore it does nothing, strikes me as suspect.

I know the real reason you want to play as her. She's not a piece of meat! She's a person! Who just so happens to suck at travelling around the map because that whip is terrible.

Can an errant cannonball travel a quarter of a mile through a cinder block wall, a front door, travel up stairs, break through a stucco wall, and demolish a minivan? I think we can call this myth confirmed.

Note to self: Invest in landmines. And boat repair companies.

That sounds better than all the groups I got saddled with. We'd divide stuff up, then when it came time to check with each other, one guy would say he doesn't give a flip and was doing other stuff. With not an ounce of shame or regret. And I blame this specifically for how I got burned out on programming.

I don't normally link CRACKED, but when I do, it's to gush over Half-Life.

I liked Dragon Age 2. I want to say I loved it. I really did love what they did with gameplay. And how encounters are handled. People hate the wave setup, but I thought it made encounters more interesting and kept me on my toes. On the other hand, Act 3 makes me want to call a box of kittens bad names. Those poor kittens. I won't go into details about what is so bad about Act 3. I was a broken enough record when the game was released.

I swear, every time I restart Skyrim, I get a better Axe of Whiterun. 1) Steel Axe with Soul Trap 2) Steel Axe with Absorb... I don't remember. 3) Orcish Axe with Absorb something 4) Orcish Waraxe with Absorb Health

I still want a Pretty Princess RPG.

Kind of late there, buddy.

You have got to be kidding me Microsoft is changing the 360 dashboard, again. This is how many times, now?

Previously on MYSR Liam Neeson has had an awkward career and the Russians and Danes like to share movie titles. Anyone seen Troll Hunter? The local blockbuster doesn't carry it and asking them about it just got me sidelined into renting Attack The Block.

Past 500. Starting up a new one.

The Russian one. I have no idea what you're talking about for the first part of your post.
