  1. They have an option to be signed up for e-mail notifications. Edit: And just received my notification. 2 minutes after posting this.
  2. As an affirmed SWTOR and Star Wars EU hater (and all re-edits, y'know, it's probably easier to list likable Star Wars at this point), I don't want to defend it. That said, I am inclined to believe a blog that has a hate theme might be similarly biased. Are other sources taking the same issue?
  3. New Humble Indie Bundle. Honestly looks like one of the best ones yet. If not the best one. http://www.humblebundle.com/ The developers voted to support the Red Cross this time instead of EFF. Super Meat Boy Shank Jamestown Bit.Trip Runner NightSky Above average bonus: Cave Story+ Gratuitous Space Battles Only game out of those I already have is Super Meat Boy. Only one I'm not interested in is Bit.Trip Runner. So YAY.
  4. I liked Runaway. There's three games and GOG only has the first. Though the first is good as a standalone and probably the best of the bunch. 2 gets into some sort of alien conspiracy, but 3 skips over the consequences of that to get back into mobsters.
  5. The Sith Lords Restored Content Modification. It's a mod that restores some content cut in production. I haven't played it myself, but I should get around to it someday.
  6. I played it for a while, too. Seems like a fairly pretty hack and slash. I never saw what was so interesting before I got sidetracked by other things. I do need to go back, however. It wasn't bad.
  7. I take offense at claiming I have a basement! This will not stand!
  8. EA usually has good support. Such a shame they're not quite up to it here.

    STEAM!

    I've played it on PS3. The first one was better. Second one feels too short and has very limited enemy variety, with only minor gameplay improvements. I can't speak to PC performance at all.
  10. "We don't want this game to be a slot machine of loot" PRAISE BE TO MATT
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. That was simply hilarious.
  18. According to that, he left Obs 2 1/2 years ago. But only wrote Ziet's recommendation last month. Oh dear.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. Note to self: Invest in landmines. And boat repair companies.
  25. 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.
