Blizzard Forums to use real ID name
What's the "benefit" to this again ? Have to wonder what goes on in meetings when they decide on things like this.

Damn Octopus.

C&VG: Sega rules out Alpha Protocol sequel
To be honest, I'm not sure what that even means to tighten the gameplay Enemy AI, especially with regard to alarms, was a downside for me. Other than that, I guess I just have low standards

Lack of tight, slick gameplay.

C&VG: Sega rules out Alpha Protocol sequel
So JE sold, but not as well. Ok, I guess that risk failed horribly. You're giving consumers far too much credit, most obey metacritic and reviewers are suspect. Bioware's games aren't crap, but it's not as if the public is really looking at them honestly.

C&VG: Sega rules out Alpha Protocol sequel
Eh, not that ballsy to announce ME was a trilogy - like Blizzard, gamers are lemmings for Bioware games. I guess after KOTOR, people forgive any sins and fork it over.

Anyway, this is a shame, but expected. Kind of funny seeing people react to this, also impressive what impact metacritic has - yay for emphasizing the most useless part of a review : the score.

What are you playing now
Finished Normality, made me really miss gaming back in 95-98 and Gremlin. Right now, searching for a game to play, tempted to finally get back to finishing King's Bounty.

Game bugs that make you want to cry
I remember the WoW Alt-Tab bug bothering the hell out of me. More recently, would come from both Mass Effects. The first had me sliding around through walls when fighting the Matriarch, the second had those invisible floors.

What are you playing now
Normality, of all games I have.

WoW to become free-to-play in a few years
Talent Trees are going to be so bloated.

STEAM!
Shame about these sales is I have the ones I want already. While a digital copy is better than my dubious storage of the games, still can't bring myself to do it

You Are Not the Boss of Me
Easy, just say you write code that Word does for them automatically. Or something. Also you can make math formulae on screen easily, I think. You are hardcore though, sir.

You Are Not the Boss of Me
vim's a word processor now ?

What are you playing now
The Dig, forgot how much I enjoyed this game. Puzzles are brutal though (damn that reactor repair puzzle)

You Are Not the Boss of Me
Heh, programmers are quite reasonable people. Usually that kind of thing is handled by a designer or some sort of usability expert, in an old company of mine that was a developer who had an arts background or something. Never design what you'll be implementing if it's user facing, I've learned, another pair of eyes is always better.

You Are Not the Boss of Me
Eh, not usually programmers making that call.

Deus Ex 3
It didn't look too bad. But then again, they've promised a lot, so will still wait and see
-
Deus Ex 3
COULD ? Heh, right. Ah well, from what I'm hearing this game sounds kinda ok.

A sad announcement
I must be cynical, what with my first initial thought at seeing this. But still, condolences to his family and friends. Never particularly cared for Killian as a poster, where I saw him.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!, just a dumping ground
I am interested. Warhound, yay.

2010 FIFA World Cup
Not really, Ireland might well have lost on kicks. Mexico - SA was an entertaining match, shame Vela didn't do more. Rooting for Germany and Holland, but will end up disappointed. Those vuvuzelas are beyond irritating, sucky thing too is how they kill fans trying to do something else. Imagine trying to chant over that drone.

New XCOM game
You need a reason to be negative towards games these days ? Huh. Trailer looks uninspiring that's all.
-
New XCOM game
Oh man that looks AWESOME. Trailers are fluff, but that looks neither exciting or even interesting to me, maybe we'll find out more.

Deus Ex 3
Why is it a bad way ? Accuracy is a factor in proficiency. Missed that note about no multitools, yay more minigames.
