Dragon Age: Inquisition
It's the new console cycle. Both PS4 and XB1 release dates were just announced, so it makes sense to hype software now, while everyone is pre-order vein-slapping. First new pics of warehouse PS4 shipments found here.

No. Not honest. Humorless and snarky. Fail.

The NFL 2013 Thread
Wow, a ton of history made in that game. I take it all back, Denver is gonna wipe the AFC with Peyton's pinkie finger. Chargers will be second in the West, maybe, should be, I hope.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Pretty underwhelming TV commercial for Xbox One. I got the impression it was aimed at rabid NFL fans who don't play video games? The ad was a lot like the Surface tablet, trying to create an air of sexy usefulness around a product everyone will need in order to be happy and enjoy football and have good skin and fun parties and a nice house and lots of friends, but no video games cause those are for kids not football fans wut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmD0vPOd5Rk

The NFL 2013 Thread
I honestly hope Manti Te'o destroys the field for the Chargers and silences that unfortunate breach in wisdom for good. New coach, new GM, and some new player prospects ... if Rivers can control his turnovers, and if anyone shows up to defend the pass rush, *facepalm* SD could challenge Denver for the AFC West. But because I want that to happen ... it won't.

Infinite was a repetitive poo-poo platter, I thought. But that was on Xbox ... I suppose I should download the PC version before I comment. It was free, anyway. I thought game studios are like movie studios, in that they hire for a project, then layoff after it's completed. Temporary contract work. Edit: I see now they let go of just eight people. I would think Irrational employs many more than that. Still sucks to look for work.

What are you playing now?
First time ever in Borderlands 2. Video quality is exceptional, like a well-textured comic book in 3D. Kept picking up several new weapons--but I didn't realize you have to go into the inventory to swap out. Went all the way to Lvl 6 with a revolver. Not sure about the re-spawn thing ... went back through some areas before continuing elsewhere, and everyone came back to life. Good for XP, I think, but sort of rankles my completionist tendency. Superb sound design, too.

That is hilarious even to outsiders. I always knew Kimi Raikkonen was a flower-muncher.

Cultural and period influences in RPGs
ManifestedISO replied to mcmanusaur's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)This thread makes me want to play a roughly historical Japanese Skyrim. All the architecture, armor, monsters, weapons, factions ... plus the myriad of things that are uncommon and basically unknown to the West. Not to mention the geography, ocean coasts, snow-capped volcanoes, hidden islands ...

In Austria?! Tractor-pulling?! I don't even. I mean, I see the pictures ... and the complete lack of tank-top shirts, CAT hats, and beer-bellies ... but ..

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Oh wow, so the comparison to Far Cry 3 is only partially correct. There are multiple keeps in Inquisition, like camps on that crazy island, but unlike FC, the Inquisitor will employ Agents at each keep after seizing control, to carry out various missions related to the Inquisition. So eventually there will be a network of keeps under control of the PC. Interesting. And the return of pause-and-play combat, for all platforms ... I am very happy to see this.

2013 tech market business plan spotted on a coffee shop napkin: 1. Crowd-fund Android game console 2. Bork console launch 3. Irritate, enrage consumers; alienate developers 4. Scratch forehead 5. Initiate exclusive "double-the-money" incentive 6. Fabricate game title 7. Fabricate independent developer 8. Fabricate multiple backer profiles 9. Crowd-fund fabricated game title 10. Act innocent 11. Repeat 6-10 12. Cash check Bay Area tech business practices I think Ouya is in on the whole thing, having started a fake game development incentive to get the market up. Fake, as in they are acting as both sellers and buyers of consoles and games.

Genius Rick Roll. That is some well-written comedy.

Last words workshop
Whew, coming up with a self-preemptive eulogistic post-script wouldn't be very appropriate for my last day. We middling punters likely will go out in a sputtering blaze of red debt and black regret if the mien holds true. I think I'll be inclined to ask, "This better be a ****ing long nap."

The Dilemma of Beta Access
ManifestedISO replied to Monte Carlo's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)My buddy likes to consume media, watching movies and playing games one to the next. I like the special events, the build-up to launch, the physical media, the act of acquiring. I think beta access would be a bit too much premature love and angst. Walking Dead, Season 3 tomorrow, BTW.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Looks like another unnamed wyvern creature in the background, possibly winged, feasting on a dead troll, perhaps. Or napping on the rocks. Or dead, too. Why else would a nug be unmoving and unafraid.

What are you reading?
A tetralogy, includes four works, but it's rare to see that term used instead of quadrilogy or quartet. 'Series' or 'Collection' sounds better than tetralogy, which evidently also describes a heart condition.

Star Trek: Renegades
Sounds like the ferengi have come up with a way to scam credits from humans in this sector. Something is not right with that project. Hopefully I'm wrong. The "@format" for film and video these days is definitely an option, but something about Renegades is triggering a yellow alert on the bridge.

Master-race types are just closet airport bathroom-stall console gamers. Don't be scared, it's fun. Chris Roberts disproves your imaginary complexities: If Star Citizen can go PS4, so can Eternity.
