Chapter one is already out.

There are many Fantasy writers, old and new, who wrote much more complex works with much more foreshadowing and still managed to have a decent if not yearly release schedule (Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson immediately come to mind). The thing is, Martin is a discovery writer and the issue with discovery writers is when they get writers block they are screwed, also they usually need many more revisions upon completion of the first draft.

They have plans for 2 more. One is called The Wasteland and the other is Furiosa.

Booo...I boo you...boooo!

Looking forward to: Dishonored 2 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Next Prince of Persia game (Even a freaking remake, I mean come on...) Next Devil May Cry Curious about: Fallout 4 XCOM 2 Mass Effect Andromeda As for books: Right now I'm pretty much waiting on the next Dresden Files book (Peace Talks) and the next Kingkiller Chronicle (Doors of Stone) Movies: Pretty much nothing ... Maybe Star Wars ... No wait the next Mad Max movie! Definitely that.

It was talked about in the PoE documentary.

Give it a decade.

I don't understand what you are really arguing here? I mean yeah there are other companies that depend on a publisher, but nowadays they are usually owned by said publisher and even if they weren't it would still mean they are in trouble if they don't have the next project lined up before their current one finishes. Obsidian was in dire straights (almost bankrupt) before PoE got KSed. With PoE they were able to forestall that. Now if they don't have the cash to fund the next PoE installment they are in deep **** again, until they KS again (and then it depends if people will even fund). If they have enough cash to fund PoE2 they can try to KS another game and secure their foreseeable future. Pretty easy to see the difference there. I guess the better thing to argue would be what you consider a successful business model.

Because you are dependent on KS to survive. Launching another franchise would have given them an opportunity to grow and fund their own ideas in the future. Also, and I know this may be harsh to say, only surviving is a good way to lose your best employees. The biggest thing, as I mentioned before, is that I think that they wouldn't be able to reach 4 mil this time around. Although chances are that they don't need 4 mil to make PoE2 as all the ground work has already been laid out with PoE1.

I wouldn't be so sure, Obsidian's plan was to make PoE self sufficient and then KS another franchise. If they KS PoE2, they are pretty much just surviving as a company.

It will really only be a "success" if it's self sufficient. In other words if we get a "Lets KS Pillars of Eternity 2!" it's a bust. Not only that but I doubt they would even be able to KS it to anywhere near what they got for the first one. Saying all that I really need to get around to playing one of these days.

Damn, it's cheaper in my country, but still no where near the US prices...

Wut? That doesn't sound right. What are the specs of that PC?

Well at least you tried. Now you have ammunition for an "I told you so". :D

Then again it depends for what you are going to use PS for. Some tasks are RAM intensive, some are CPU intensive and some are even GPU intensive. For simple photo editing pretty much anything can run it.

Could be that this is the weakest variant. Link

It's 800$, that's somewhere in the middle for a laptop. As for your question, I can't really help you there, although I doubt that she will save much/any money by buying online.

Vacuums and PCs don't go well together, just an FYI. There is decent chance to kill your PC like that. Compressed air is the way to go.

Doesn't look that good tbh, the visuals I mean.

*grin* Sure. What's that supposed to mean?

If that isn't irony I don't know what is. LOL...

It gave Clannad a run for it's money, that's for sure. The manga got an award. Heart wrenching to the max...

I am kind of glad this is happening to Europe, after the **** we had to endure for decades it's kind of nice to see the same thing happen to the people who condemned us for it.
