I think I remember hearing that they've basically got two studios working on each game now so they can keep pumping one out every year. Hopefully for all of those people working on them sakes, the customers don't get tired of them anytime soon. As great as they look, and as cool as it was seeing my friend jumping around Boston and stuff, watching him get surrounded by over half a dozen redcoats, and one on horseback, watching around as he slaughters them one after the other because that this the extent of who will go after him (not to mention if I'm on horseback, I'm going jousting, so he can't touch me) hurts the quality of the game to me. Perhaps if they spent more time on the AI.... Of course, perhaps they've patched that by now. Who knows?

Beefier & Better Than Ever Fabioshock Infinite?

I would assume that with USB ports, you should be able to use just about any keyboard or mouse with a console. I know you could use any old USB keyboard with a PS2 just fine, because I did for FF11, and when typing out names for my NCAA games. With that said, there are those licensing fees, porting costs, the extra time required and you would have to be able to find some way of making the game playable with a controller whether it is with an alternating HUD between controller/KM controls, or using the bumpers to trigger more buttons like in the old WordPerfect 5.1 Shift/Alt/Ctrl F1-12 days. I can play Dragon Age Origins on PC perfectly fine with an XBox controller, and do everything that I can with a keyboard and mouse via that method with Xpadder.

I hope that's true. Is there an idea of what system specs will be? Can I still play it with XP SP3, or does it require a newer version of Direct X that will require a newer version of Windows?

I have always thought, and will always feel that Marketing's job is to take what's in front of them, and sell it. They should never have any say in what goes in to the product, or not. Universally, marketing departments seem to see what works, and copies it. Why? I think it's laziness. Once in a blue moon, someone comes up with a good idea, then everyone after that just copies it. They should be saying "How can we sell this game with a female as a, or one of the leads?" Not "Female leads don't sell, get her out of there." If there were more female leads, and those games are actually good, attitudes will shift over time. With more female gamers now than there were say 15 years ago, that transition should be even quicker and smoother now to help it along. And I don't see how watching a man and woman kiss, makes one think they're gay regardless of who the PC is. EDIT: And no worries about a quadruple post now!!!!!

All my Jedi are Force Lightning to me!!!!!!

I wanted to find a straight up commercial for an r/c car that goes up a wall, but I couldn't and that makes me a sad panda.

The Mako thing for me is just nitpicking. I liked searching every square inch of the grid, finding every survey location, and uncharted building. Not to mention Thresher Maw hunting. I didn't miss it that much in 2 based on the mountain scaling, and I liked the (few) Hammerhead missions. I just assumed they couldn't figure out the mountain thing, so they scrapped it.

You should probably stick to text adventures if that's the way you feel. West of House You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here. > look mailbox The small mailbox is closed > open mailbox Opening the small mailbox reveals a leaflet. > get leaftlet Taken. > look leaflet It says "Good times remembering the original adventure games of your youth."

Sadly I wouldn't at all be surprised if she is getting threats against her life. She posted the threats, along with their id's and avatars in the last update. Those idiots need to take some time away from the internet for a good long while and clear their heads. Go outside, play in the snow. Maybe it will be gone in time for the playoffs. BASEBALL PLAYOFFS!!!! The good thing about the spot light is that it seems unlikely they will get away with just pocketing the extra cash. The rich getting richer off of a real economic and social issue. The bad thing is the idiots who take it too far and make things a million times worse than what it is. ---- I was going to look on her fundher.com sight to see if it shows what type of cut she takes. Hopefully it is more of a service where they take a smaller cut than kickstarter/Amazon. Even better would be a flat fee for successful projects. However, apparently that got hit too. This has gone waaaaaaay too far.

I just wish the Mako could scale mountains a lot better, so you didn't have to find just the right spot and angle, which was a real bitch even on my 6th playthough.

Denerim was fine. Anything else would have been window dressing, sucking resources and taking more time.

If all they did was own a screening business, like the Carlton's here in town with whom I've done business with in the past with my ball teams, or the Morrison's whom handled the stuff for my bowling league; it wouldn't seem so bad. I would do it for them, if they asked. What hit home for me was the shoes. If you can spend more for a pair of shoes, than what I take home in a paycheck (and I'm a machinist), you don't need my money. Apparently the story about those was she bought them after winning some money at a casino. But still, I wish them all the best, I hope her daughter goes on to be a great game producer, or anything else she decides she wants to be when she gets older. I'm just not going to give them my money, and I hope they do a lot of good with all of that extra money.

It wouldn't be so bad to me, if it doesn't come across as a millionaire asking me for money to send their kid to school when you look into it. Heck, I wouldn't mind supporting it otherwise. If someone at work, or one of my parents friends/coworkers asked me to do it for their daughter, I would. I think a big part of why the Richard Garriotts', Peter Molyneuxs', Joe Ybarras'... kickstarters have a hard time getting funded is because it is perceived that they have boat loads of money, and they don't need to use kickstarter to fund their games. Ahhh classism. EDIT: In the case of Garriott and Molyneux, it took a lot longer than one would think for a new Ultima and Populous successor, and isn't exactly raking it in even like what Shadowrun did.

I thought she owned a clothing screening/embroidery store or something. Every tier from $15- under $100 are physical tiers that seemed to be an excuse to sell some swag. I mean, after the additional Kickstarter/Amazon fees, cost of materials/screening and shipping, I would bet more money would have been left over to go towards the cost of the camp from the $10 tier, than many of those other ones below $100. I'm assuming there will be a whole bunch of generic towns folk in there. A better idea would have been to name one of them for a few bucks a pop (rather than $100+.) I can buy a customized book with all of my kids names in it for a lot less than that. That 10K tier is just wrong. Hopefully they do something good with all of that extra money. Maybe pay for other girls to attend the camp who couldn't ordinarily afford it, and buy them their own copies of RPG Maker, it it doesn't automatically come with the camp.

I've never really gotten into the AC games. I just picked out 2, however. now that Uplay has an offline mode, I'll start getting their stuff. 2 seems like the best off-line game. As far as 3 goes, I was at a buddy's house right after he picked it out. It looked okay, but it had one major problem that had he screaming at the screen. The redcoats are just waiting around for you to kill them one-on-one. If you're surrounded, and I'm a redcoat, and I see you killing my buddies right-left and center: I'm shooting at you as much as I can.

^^^^ When I was a teenager, I knew everything about baseball. I knew what to do in every situation before it happened. Now, I don't remember half that stuff. I don't think it's youthful arrogance. I think it's booze.

Big indie sale on Steam right now.

There is this about a 9 year old girl wanting to prove to her brothers that she can make an RPG using RPG Maker. John and Brenda Romero I guess gave her a plug. It is to send her to RPG Maker camp at Towson University. She's funded, but my curiosity is piqued. I think I was about 6 or 7 when I made some (literally) basic games for my Commodore 64. Nothing like what she will make with that stuff, considering then I didn't make anything close to as good as . My attempt at a - type game even sucked. There went my prodigy status. Edited for spelling.

Die Hard 5, of course. First time I went to a cinema in a couple of years.

What's this? It's at the 2:00 mark.

I do agree that the subway ad with the peel-off stickers is a bit much. Especially if sexual harassment is a problem on the various forms of public transportation. That definitely doesn't help. But the game... it's just a game. It clearly isn't for everyone. That's what ratings are for.

I (try to - usually succeed) keep my kids away from cartoon networks with ads. That's largely because I don't want them bugging me about every dang toy they see on tv. It's weird and sad seeing how much it has regressed even from the beginning of the 80s. With from , and this one on . It's a good additional perspective on it, and it's really hard to argue some of it. I mean, yeah: There should be cool toys. However, it's also good to get perspective on the trends of the stereotypes the ads and some of the toys themselves have. When I don't have my kids at friends places with their kids, indoors it's usually video games, Mega Blocks, and Crazy Forts: Until of course my 15 month old comes along and destroys them all. It's strange and sad when my (almost) 6yr old daughter can kick my butt at some of the Just Dance songs. And I'm trying.

The videos that I've seen of her are entertaining and informative enough to back up her opinion, and make it watchable. I objected to less of what she had to say than David Cage's at DICE. Of course, that was much longer, and he was giving his opinion of where he felt games needed to go, versus Anita's video 1 here. Which is more of a historical report of where games were, and in some degrees are. Basically my main objection to what David said was something along the lines that games should be made for everybody. I just find that when you try to do that, you make something nobody really wants. Except Tetris. I seen her quick clip on the . I was expecting something more like this: Of course, that is more of why everyone should hate Twilight.

So, is that patch for the book done yet? Funny, it seems to have taken longer to patch it then to have initially "researched" it and write the book. I'm just glad I worked that day and didn't buy it the first day it first came out like I did Drew's 2nd and 3rd ME books, so I ended up finding out what a farce it was before I made that mistake. I chalked it up to Casey, Mac et al being too busy with ME3 to properly check the lore. Then ME3 came out. Between everything that had to do with that stupid kid, and the lazy multi-player required ending, it literally killed my love for the lore of the whole ME Universe. I got the first series of comics. I haven't bought comics since I was in high school last millenium, but I bought those. I had the third series in my hand, and didn't event want to read it for free, nonetheless buy it. I have no excitement whatsoever for ME4. It may as well be Army of Two 3, or Call of Duty MW8. Maybe another trilogy play through with the new ending now that I've got it on PC will help revive it. Trouble is, that stupid kid is still in it. Is there a mod to get rid of him, and those stupid nightmare sequences? Also, I've got Origins to finish again first.
