Same here. I feel cheated. P.S. Much better than the other "attractive" threads, Here you go: Here's a bonus one to make up for it: Jeroba cuteness:

Tomb Raider, a proper Tomb Raider (not this most recent torture porn bull****), with challenging puzzles and platforming and devious traps, minus all the combat, all of it, and with larger areas to explore, is a dream game of mine.

Were those taken from underneath a fish tank?

You might be right. This, however, I'm pretty sure is a porcupine: Squirrel cuteness: Chipmunk cuteness: Bonus dramatic chipmunk gif:

Grrr. Arkail smash. Arkail break back.

Blatantly ripping off the hopefully attractive women thread, here's a collection of cuddly rodents: Rat cuteness: Hamster cuteness: Beaver cuteness: Capybara cuteness:

Agreed. That would be awesome.

I posted about this in the Kickstarter Thread. It's so wonderfully cheesy, exactly how Tex Murphy should be. Chris Jones makes such a great down on his luck wisecracking gumshoe.

RPS Laidlaw Interview LOL. This game does sound good. I hope they do deliver this time.

That should be an awesome game.

Uehara has been amazing. He's now gone 28 1/3 straight scoreless innings and retired his last 31 batters. 31 straight batters without a hit or walk! The guy is untouchable right now. He's not just getting batters out, he's making them look silly.

Rockstar has said nothing about a PC version. There were job listings a while back for someone to port to PC for Rockstar and people read that GTA 5 will be coming out for PC from that. We'll see. /shrugs

Still playing Of Orcs and Men. It would be a rather good game if it wasn't so unbelievably linear, and if the FOV was better. Still, I'm having fun with it. I finally got to the point where some fights have gotten somewhat challenging (on Hard difficulty) and I have to really watch my strategy. There's real satisfaction to learning different opponents' strengths and weaknesses and figuring out strategies to defeating them. I try to keep Arkail in defensive stance more often than not, mainly because it builds rage slower and I find him going berserk is rather detrimental more often than not (once in a while it can prove beneficial). I'm building both characters around high dodge/deflection values and high critical percentage. It seems to be working out well so far.

Yeah, I didn't see it live, but when they showed that "roughing the snapper" call (I had no idea such a penalty existed), my reaction was "That's a penalty? They made regular football contact on that play. There was nothing egregious." Seriously, why don't they just go ahead and pin flags on the sides of the player's uniforms already, because that's where we're heading anyway.

As it stands, regardless of how good or bad the game is, I'll be getting GTA 5 never, on account of the lack of a PC version.

Sawx won game one of the final series with the Rays and for all intensive purposes clinched the AL East tonight. Far more importantly, Buchholz pitched very well in his return tonight. He was efficient, he didn't give up any runs, and there were no setbacks. He only pitched 5 innings, but that's because John Farrell pulled him after the 5th and 74 pitches, he could have gone 7 or 8 the way he was pitching. I can't blame the manager for being very careful with Buchholz. The most important thing is that he looked just like the pre-injury Buchholz. Before he got injured he was arguably the best pitcher in the majors, so it's a major boost to get him back in the rotation.

CoD has lore?

Tex Murphy: Tesla Effect trailerage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBbzzUBiUEg It's so cheesy. So wonderfully, deliciously cheesy. Welcome back, Tex.

I didn't get to watch the second half because on the east coast the late Monday game is on so late that I'd either be late for work or a zombie the next day if I were to watch the whole thing. Did the Bolts go into the prevent in the 4th? Because I find that's the fastest and most efficient way to blow a lead.

Yeah, but it's getting to the point where they have to sell about 7 million copies just to break even. Less than a hundred games have ever sold 7 million or more copies. That's in the entire history of video games. As far as I heard GTA 5 made it's money back from preorders. Oh, I'm sure GTA 5 will do fine. There are going to be success stories even with these ridiculously bloated budgets, and spectacular success stories, which is what's going to keep driving these budgets up. The problem is that as the budgets keep going up the percentage of failures is going to increase and the losses these failures incur will continue to increase too. There is only so much money to be made per year by the video game industry as a whole, because there is only so much money people are able to spend. As budgets go higher and higher the amount of money necessary for the game to be profitable, or just break even, increases, but the amount of money to be made out there doesn't, or not at nearly the same pace as the rising budgets. You'll always have your massive success stories here and there which will entice publishers to keep funding these giant bloated productions, because when they pay off, they pay off big time, but the failures will become more and more frequent and more and more spectacular, to the point where the occasional massive success story will not be able to offset the slew of spectacular failures. Or maybe I'm overthinking this.

You could see that ending coming from a mile away, yet it was still tense and thrilling. ****, that was a great episode! The way I see it
