Fernando was my first choice for a closer this year in my fantasy league. I didn't mind so much the one blown save that he ended up getting the win for anyways. This one on the other hand....

They keep floating different ideas. Before that, the last I heard was they would let it be up to the publisher what type of (basically) DRM they wanted to impose. Just make a stupid console that plays games, and if you want to hook it up to the internet, you can. Anything else is beyond stupid.

^^^^^ That's what I got for graduating in the tech field..... Right before the dot com bubble burst getting laid off with one month of experience, and everyone else in my department with their years of experience.

One of my favorite parts of Cthulhu Saves the World, is when you take on that band of hero's near the beginning. I love the idea of that skeleton game.

Michael Biehn: Dev Already Has Blood Dragon Sequel In Mind Sales are already 5X what they expected. I've never had any interest or desire whatsoever to play any Far Cry game... Until that one came along. Next time Steam loses my login info...

'Cuz it's all you need.

Nordicus said: I was somewhat remotely interested until I was shown an old Kotaku article about the behind-the-scenes drama that occurred in Silicon Knights during X-Men: Destiny's development. tl;dr: Denis Dyack's relationship with publishers can be called parasitic at best, even if Nintendo's hands-on approach to quality control with Eternal Darkness and the Metal Gear Solid port might have been the crucial element in the games' success. Dyack likes to call himself a "benevolent dictator" during staff meetings, he didn't pay the slightest amount of attention to the theater reviews during development, he'd be gone for months at a time, he deliberately slowed down X-Men Destiny development to get more funding and time, most of the experienced employees (over 40 of them) quit because of the negative atmosphere and Dennis Dyack initially planned to take these people's names off the credit list (Now they're in "special thanks" section). He was completely screwing with Activision according to the several ex-employees who anonymously gave information about the development. Did not answer Activision's inquiries about the project's progress, whatever progress he showed, was with game concepts and art assets rather than anything that looked like a proper game. He promises the moon from the heavens in his pitches, but does absolutely nothing to commit to it. Only when Activision released a game trailer with Silicon Knight's name attached to it, did they start getting a small percentage of their **** together. So anyone, absolutely anyone who would like to have another Eternal Darkness game, think thrice before giving a cent to Dyack I read that article a while back as well. It's really disappointing because you know they aren't the only developer that has done that, and that hurts the good ones like Obsidian. If that crap doesn't go on, the publishers would probably be more apt to give a bit more time to projects; especially if the end result would be even better. I'm looking at you, HK factory. And no, I wouldn't give Dyack a penny either for something that hasn't happened yet.

There should be a law, where either you have to be under 50 years of age to buy a timeshare, or you have to get your kids permission. That way someone can remind them that they are a scam - or that they are wealthy enough that they can actually enjoy them. Sorry, dude. Hopefully you and your folks can get this all straightened out with minimal loss at worst. My brother, sister and I've had to start keeping an eye on my parents now. A month or so ago, my mom opened up an email from her friend that only contained some random link. She went there for whatever reason, and I spent two days cleaning out her laptop making sure I got rid of all of the spy/adware and other viruses because I couldn't just reformat the whole thing because she lost her disc. I only found out about it then after someone hacked into my email account, and I warned her not to open anything from me. Email rule number 1. I know she used to know better.

^^^^^^^^ In 5-pin, we use our WHOLE hand.

Only if you gave all the money to the church, and prayed for forgiveness. Each time.

I didn't care a lot for the last one. Someone yelling "SPACE MARINES!" every 5 - 10 seconds or so. Comically losing your jetpack for no good reason, other than game design; bad design at that. Anything will be better than that one.

Dang! That's a great price for it. I wouldn't call it a pure FPS though. It does have a RPG-like leveling system, with classes, and you gain abilities like you would on WoW.

A funny thing I just read on Penny Arcade that reminded me of when I was in Grade 9: D&D and the devil: One man is trying to send up radical Christianity by taking it seriouslyOne of the first projects that my 2nd Art teacher in grade 9 (I got moved when my first class was over-filled) gave us to do was to draw a head shot. I can't remember what I drew, but my friend Steve drew a hobgoblin's head from the Monster Manual. When he went to turn it in, she wouldn't accept it. "Why not?" he asked. "Because it has to do with Dungeons & Dragons." she replied. "What's wrong with Dungeons & Dragons?" he asked. "Dungeons & Dragons make people kill themselves." she replied. I probably got into the conversation at that point. I don't remember what else was said, but what I will always remember was what we did for the rest of the year in her class. Any time we would act up or stuff, we would say "Dungeons & Dragons made me do it!" She threw out so much our work that year. Anything that had anything remotely to do with D&D, she would not accept; even if it had nothing to do with why we originally made/drawn something. Even our Ren & Stimpy clay figures we made she wouldn't accept. The kiln always happened to be broken, or was already being used that day. Finally after a while she just said straight up she wasn't accepting them. I think I did 6 or 7 final projects at the end of the year. We only had to do 3, but she kept rejecting my work for whatever reason. Interestingly enough, her main job at the school was as a guidance councellor. In fact, while I was doing all that crap in her class, she was great for me when I was having a problem with another one of my teachers who had a tendency of not liking the hockey players in her class (or their direct relatives, in my case) and I tried getting out of her class before I failed it. That teacher would give me zeros if I corrected a mistake I noticed on my diagrams, or would mark stuff wrong on my tests when it was right (My cousin & I: C - wrong. 3 People by us: C - right) ------ Dark Dungeons: The Movie Kickstarter has made its target. ($14,980/$12,500) ------- Strangely enough: I've had a few characters die on me; and suicide has not crossed my brain once.

According to Ryan of Pandora: Purge of Pride It seemed like in the screen shots there could be a fair bit of platform jumping in some stages. Plus DRM-free goodness. I just thought it was an interesting concept. You are Pandora, trying to capture the seven deadly sins in your mansion, and as you gather them, you gain a power from them. Plus how can you cay no to a group of kids like this: With a company logo like this:

When the Ontario Grits first took power, Attorney-General Michael Bryant decided to clean up the jury list. I got a thing in the mail, filled it out, and sent it in (it's a crime not to.) Not even a month later, I'm summoned. I get there, I noticed a good chunk of my fellow political youth group members who were of age, and a former higher profile local Dipper. We had a good laugh about the Grits punishing everyone who doesn't vote for them. It turns out, the guy being charged decided to just put his fate in the hands of the judges instead. About a month later, I got that same thing in the mail to fill out again. Harassment as far as I was concerned. I moved shortly there after anyways. Never got called back since. Funny conclusion to that story: Michael Bryant was "celebrating" his anniversary, when he ran down some guy on his bike and killed him. Got no time. Apparently, the guy on the bike was the aggressor, against a car. That apparently made it okay to kill him. Like OJ, he wrote a book about it.

So...... Sometime this calendar year. Me + 1XP. 49,999 to the next level. ------- Thanks for finding that though, C2B

They don't even have a dedicated spot there for it.

I still love the new ones though.

Excellent. Cosigned. All I ask is that you fix your stupid offline mode. My guess is now that I've really started getting into Dungeon Siege 3, it's going to lose my log in info.

"You know, the vast majority of the fans of my team were alive the last time we made the Stanley Cup finals, and unlike the twins, our fans didn't set the city on fire when we lost."

I thought about giving Pandora a try. It was made by some college kids. The game is basically done, they just need some cash for the rights to sell it. Hopefully the jumping isn't too awkward. That's usually my main gripe with platformers of any sort. This one is a platform puzzler.

No new news on this is making me a sad panda.

It's still on sale at GOG for $10, if you want it DRM-free.

Remember the patch when you do get Alpha Protocol (if wherever you're getting it from doesn't have it already.) Sega has removed the authentication servers, so it's the only way you can play it.

I think that when someone told that guy you had to get some cat litter, he got them mixed up. "Screw that, he can just ride around on me instead!"
