Speaking of gaming on phones/tablets/mobile: nVidia introduces Tegra K1 /whistles Dang, 192 full fledged Kepler CUDA cores? That's a ridiculously powerful mobile chip. I still think one day Tegra will be powering a Steam Machine. It could probably do it now if you slapped like 2 or 3 of these together, though I doubt Steam has the necessary ARM support in place (yet?). Well, there's already Final Fantasy 1-5, with 6 coming soon.

People with phones.

Did a lot of skipping, but finally wound up with: 1) The Witcher 3 2) Pillars of Eternity 3) Broken Age 4) Dark Souls 2 5) MGS V Divinity Original Sin, Wasteland 2, and Shadowrun Returns: Dragonfall would factor in if they were included in the vote.

It will almost certainly be a fun and entertaining game, but not particularly meaningful. Neither of these teams will be playing truly meaningful games until #April and #May and, perhaps for one of them, #June. Still, should be exciting.

Westbrook is already off crutches, walking around, and shooting free-throws. No word on when he'll return, but it's definitely an encouraging sign. In the meantime, the Thunder are plodding along, winning again tonight behind a huge scoring night from Reggie Jackson.

That was a fun game in Green Bay. I love those games where it's so cold that you can see the players' breath, even in the far away wide-angle shots (so long as I'm watching from home and don't have to be out there in the cold).

Looks like the Chargers' strategy of staying conservative and allowing Andy Dalton to implode worked to perfection.

Thunder were down almost the entire game last night but prevailed when Durant put the team on his back and scored 23 points in the 4th (48 total). While giving the young guys responsibility is important, Durant will have to do this sort of thing once in a while in Russ's absence to avoid prolonged losing streaks as they go through growing pains.

I hope the games today are as exciting as yesterday's games. That was an awesome day of footbaw.

SQUEE! I named him Darryl. Edit: The Astrologer's Scarf rocks!

No hurry on trading AD. Also,

It's co-developed by Valve and Hidden Path. As for who did the bulk of the development, I don't know.

That's where we differ. I like the power differences between characters rather than having everybody on some artificial equal playing field, even if I was playing the weaker character. Of course, that's me now. Me 15 years ago would be pissed to play the significantly weaker character. To each their own. This is why I like to let my players decide if I'm GMing. I don't assume they think like I do.

2008 - Left 4 Dead 2009 - Left 4 Dead 2 2010 - Alien Swarm 2011 - Portal 2 2012 - Counter Strike: Global Offensive 2013 - DOTA 2 Still waiting for that year they "don't release something".

But what do you use massive financial success to do as a game developer? Make bigger and better games, typically. Unless they've just continually scrapped builds for Half Life 3, it's hard to tell what they're actually working on. They have enough money to hire staff beyond the people who keep DotA 2 and Steam running. It's not like Valve has just been sitting on their hands. Beyond Steam and DOTA 2 recently there has been Portal 2 and Counter Strike: GO, oh, and that little thing of building their own operating system Linux distribution and gaming console/PC hybrid, a trivial matter, I'm sure. Valve has their hands in a lot of different projects. Would I like to see Half-Life 3? Sure, but if it never happens then oh well, life goes on, Valve will go on (for at least the foreseeable future).

Last time I checked, Valve is doing just fine. They're making money hand over fist off Steam, DOTA 2 is a rousing success, and they're still suckering people into buying stuff with hats for Team Fortress 2. STILL. Face it, Valve doesn't need Half-Life 3.

Can you even trade AD between players? The way I do it between characters is by making a purchase bid for Zen at the exchange at 50 AD per Zen (no one will sell me Zen for 50 AD a piece, then I cancel and withdraw it with the character I want to give it to. Don't worry about it if this is going to be a pain in the butt. Edit: Also, if you need any Greater Marks of Power, Union, or Stability, let me know, I have a bunch.

I've seen a manual on AH before, so I don't think they're BoP, but definitely read the description before purchasing. Thank you, by the way. Edit: Crap, according to the wiki the manual is bind on pick up, so never mind.

Well... It's really expensive (around 2 million, I think) but I want to get the training manual to upgrade my Blue Ribbon Pig (clearly the champion of pigs) mount to rank 3. I've already upgraded the pig to rank 2 and it's utterly hilarious to watch those stubby little pig legs churn while I'm zipping along at +80% speed. It's going to be even better at +110%.

You can also summon a hellhound pet (you can have both pets active at the same time) from a bit deeper in the Occultist Mastery, so you have that to look forward to. Pyromancer (Demolitionist/Occultist) is so far my favorite mastery combination. Who wouldn't want to summon pets and lob molotovs?

How many Acts are there supposed to be, 3?Summer would be a good time, actually. I like monster-bashing in the summer. I'm not completely sure how answer this question other than to say "more than 2". Read this.

I don't know how many cards I've sold, but I've gotten 3 free games out of the deal and have about a buck and a half sitting in my Steam Wallet (I've never transferred a single penny of my own real money into my Steam Wallet). I don't know who all these people buying these cards are, but I'm thankful for them. The most I ever got for any single card was about $0.65.

I know of others that have played Legends of Dawn, but I may be the only person to stick with it long enough to rack up 27 hours on it. It's a terrible game that I, for some bizarre reason, enjoy playing.
