Not my University, thankfully. Work in groups was done in a collective manner, unless it was some odd assignment where you were assigned a module and then that had to work with A and B's modules. You really can't rate someone out of a team of 50, say, based on the end result. Although I suppose if a game has poor design decisions, you can fault the design lead as he has the responsibility, while not the blame.

Pretty much.

Hm ok, disagree with the assertion DOW 2 was a poor game, doubt they'll revert to the traditional RTS model for DOW 3

True enough, but the races can be a bit different in how they play, although slightly. Chalk it up to me needing time killed

Well, worth getting your heart checked for arrhythmia or something similar to that, if you're that worried. Interesting quote by Bruce Lee, I realize I'm more of a failure now because of that, hah.

Doing the IG campaign from Retribution. Funny, can't bring myself to play the Xenos races

Damn Chaos.

Does seem to be a waste of fuel and ammunition. But BAE workers gotta eat.

What do you think of it ? The SoB army was a novelty, the flying units were...less than impressive to me. Generally I agree with Cyrus' dig at it

Fiddled with EVE, now I have zero bottlenecks in my Coolant production. Wonderful, now all factories have enough materials to work 24/7 and there's even some excess for the raw stuff so that gives me leeway (long trips for some of it). Finished off DOW 2 Retribution, the SM campaign was kinda cool - not much tactics needed, just assault the crap out of everything on Normal difficulty at least.

Yeah have to upgrade for Witcher 2. Sandy Bridge, ho!

Witcher 2 System Requirements

Hm, pay off my debt and my family's. Maybe also arrange to have 3 or 4 of my relatives offed. And two chicks at the same time.

Weird not seeing that as stickied.

EVE Fanfest 2011 Stream Interesting discussions there, right now there's a talk on the QA process.

Watching the EVE Fanfest at work. Wish I'd have gone, but then again, crowds of strange people scare me.

Heh, damn, their marketing campaign did a bang up job.

Forget the words, any indication on how it plays ?

Damn those explosions. Looks like this will be mediocre at worst.

Gotta love Plot Required Stupidity.

As long as they don't make some sort of Anti-Shepard.

Why not, they can be drunken Feydakin.

That's a pretty nice office.

I'm merely interested in this game, so I've no problem waiting a year if need be. Enthusiasm is another level, that was the reason I pre-ordered Civ V (yeah, big mistake that turned out to be, heh). While you're not going to get a review made by a clone of yourself, you can use the varied criticism to predict how you'll enjoy it by sifting through the praise/complaints (AP had good reviews for story and the consequences, for example). LPs are even better for this purpose, at least for shooters and adventure games in my experience. So, it is worth your time not making an emotional or impulse buy and waiting for feedback, rather than gamble $60. It's not even that long a wait, if you're some fanboy of the game and HAVE to have it, feedback for well pimped games is available pretty quickly, maybe give it a week or two. Not going to kill you. So far I've done that with NV and DOW2 Ret, both I was tempted to pre-order but decided to just wait for reviews here and elsewhere (the latter was elsewhere because you all suck ).

Well yes it was, they got suckered in by that free stuff. Not that paying for it after is smart, either. It's just a wiser move to just wait for a game to come up, generate enough volume of feedback. Even wiser to just wait for the GOTY Edition being on sale for $30.
