Morgoth

Which are, eh, perfectly legal. Yes, good for the customer, bad for the developer. We certainly want Josh & Co getting some potatoes on their plate?

And how common is it really to crack a Steam game? Certainly not as high as retail games. And you still combat second hand sales with it. That is even easier to counter than you think... all you need is to make a new owner profile for each game you buy... You sell then whole profile with one game only... Voila the biggest anti second hand sale counter-measure cracked... I did that a few times, but I hardly made any money with it. It just doesn't pay off. Besides, it's illegal to have several Steam accounts. If Valve gets wind of it, they might block you or something.

They disappointed me big time with DoW2.

Yup, that's why I always go (mostly) by company. Obsidian Bioware Blizzard Irrational Valve Arkane are always certainly day 1 purchases. The rest I usually don't bother...

Eh, the fade was actually one of the more relaxing parts. Just wait when you get into the Deep Roads.

And even if it's true that won't spoil my fun the slightest.

How about devs start making decent games? Otherwise, this guy is just fantasizing. People pirate games because they can. That's why DRM is not useless. I said it again and again, if every PC game would use Steamworks, all this pirating and second-hand shopping would be put to an end.

Ah that's it, now I remember: The Samara and that fish dude's mission failed. For some reason, I didn't find a way to follow the target anymore. Then his son commited a criminal act...Yes, that's it.

I only kept Miranda all the time with me because I thought that would let me make boinking her. I was wrong. Ah, good that there's still youtube...I didn't really miss much btw.

Did anyone else die during the mission besides Jack and Tali? Yes, albeit I did all the loyality missions. Only Miranda, Garrus, Grunt and that geth survived.

Well I never liked Jack anyway...

Jack and Tali got killed instantly on the Normandy. Guess not upgrading the ship had something to do with this...

So with rumors saying that the SC2 Beta is around the corner, I though I post some screenies from the new Battle.net. Anyone else looking forward to SC2?

This is the new breed of "professional" game journalists these days. They always make things up and state it as facts. Idiots.

Bioware makes that up with numbers. They're now not a game studio anymore, they're an EA facility. Hating on Bio because they consistently produce quality RPGs (unlike most RPG studios) consistently on time (unlike most RPG studios)? Come on Morgoth, you can do better than that. Unless you'd much rather that they produce buggy rpgs and/or titles are delayed beyond their official release date (Hello Obsidian?). Bio > Black Isle > Obsidian (so far) > Troika Sorry, but from DA to DA2 (or whatever it will be called), there's only like 1,5 years of dev time. This reeks. Bioware has a tradition to take about 3-4 years per game. So either they have the numbers to compensate that, or they're pressured from "above" to churn out sequels so fast. How big is Bio these days anyway? Someone has numbers about the Edmonton, Montreal and Austin studios?

The coffee machine is broken, so yes and yes.

Like F3 isn't shooter enough already...

Bull****.

Do we also get to see happy bunnies hopping on the green? Geez... I sincerely hope I'm just misinterpreting this... Rat pack tearjerker. Someone please get me Mark Morgan back.

Just a week ago. But it seems only for German-speaking countries. For now. Either way, it' very slow, so you need to be patient. If you are patient, you'll be rewarded with an incredibly atmospheric and rather unique adventure.

Looks like Cursed Mountain on the Wii. Except it's also for PC. Some more wanking... Pretty cool game though.

Oh gawd brace yourself!
