  1. Evidently the PoE public's focus is forgiving because the instance of beneficial animancy far outweighs the scary corpse-animating research. Sawyer said, "a great deal" of animancy goes toward "beneficial things," so, for there to be minimal community outcry, it must follow that animancer villains are either ultra-rare in number, or more successful in secret.   

     

     

  2. Oh, yeah, no, totally, Obsidian pays their people by the hour ... which kinda sucks for the company, since the minimum wage is soon to rise. I don't know about you guys, but I've seen the third-world sweat-shop where Obsidian sews their garments and doo-dads ... it is literally blackened with soot, windowless and cramped like a closet. When one worker finishes a design, they have to clock-out and stay at their station until the foreman comes in with more penciled instructions from the writing staff huddled in the basement. Pretty sure that's how it works, anyway.

  3. I don't know, they have some swank, pricey glass on their artist's gallery page. Probably not super dog-friendly for an entryway centerpiece, however.

     

    That's weird, I buzzed my noggin, too. Way too sticky and hot already to have a hair helmet.   

  4. I just had the best idea ever. I was checking up on The Golf Club--which is still in Early Access, version 0.90, and pretty well-reviewed--and I thought, the humidity has been terrible this weekend ... but then I also remembered how much I enjoyed the N64 golf game, Waialae Country Club, set in Hawaii, and then it hit me: RECREATE WAIALAE HOLE FOR HOLE with the custom course creator in The Golf Club! :aiee:  In luxurious 1080p, compared to the 64-bit Nintendo game. Oh, man, I'm pumped, now. And something else that was cool--finally, the recommended PC requirements list a 660 or 7850 2GB for GPUs. 

  5. I take it back, someone did notice

     

     

    Nintendo was selling around 29,000 Wii U consoles per week before “Mario Kart 8” reached buyers. After May 30, more than 130,000 Wii U consoles were sold.

     

    ... the game had boosted Wii U sales by 666 percent, with 82 percent of sales from the “Mario Kart 8” bundle.

     

    Since the release of “Mario Kart 8,” the Wii U has outsold the Xbox One. As of June 14, Wii U’s global install base is at 6.4 million. The Xbox One is at 4.6 million and the PS4 is at 8.1 million. The PS4 and Xbox One launched last November, while the Wii U hit shelves in 2012.

  6. Well, there's nothing like being sold-out to make me want it more. Which is something I never thought I'd say about a Wii U console, with pitiable sales compared to PS and XB ... until now. No news outlets seem to have noticed yet: the Nintendo Wii U Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Edition console bundle is unavailable, sold-out online and in-stores across retailers in the US. Right when I want one, of course, but it's cool, if this means Nintendo is about to crawl back to prominence. 

  7. Barnes is okay, but that Noble is a vindictive pr**k. 

     

    Stupid chain store. Ready Player One nowhere on the shelves. Stupid in-store search kiosk says it's in the Fiction/Literature section. No, it isn't, neither is it anywhere else. Stymie this, you stupid bookstore. Where's the Dewey decimal system when I need it.
