No, it is basic math that 95% of a number is not more than that number. You are looking at this in a very weird way. Now if we are looking at this as total copies of Skyrim played, rather than bought, then it changes the math. But how are they even getting a firm number of copies played? 50 million out of 5 million is 1000%

Do you have a quote for that?

Yeah, that's a killer burger Shady! Sounds delicious.

He is definitely right, but that doesn't mean you can't challenge gamers anymore. The popularity of games like Demons Soul are good examples of that. It's more about making the controls and gameplay intuitive

No, 95% of 5 million is 4.75 million. It would be ridiculous to assume they mean it any other way.

Uh, no, 95% of a few million is not 50-60 million.

This is an awesome project. That being said, the title of this thread could use a nice trim.

I did really hate the transition from trying to get into the city to being there for a year. It was terrible abrupt.

Keyrock, you aren't breaking a cardinal rule by nominating a handheld game. But you are breaking rules by nominating a Resident Evil game

I'll go with Xcom as well. After that I'd probably say Xcom, and then I really enjoyed Xcom, and then I would follow that up with a last vote for Xcom. Actually it was kind of a down year after 2011, which I felt was very strong. I enjoyed the conclusion of the Mass Effect series, but other than that the games I was excited about rarely kept my attention for long. Faster Than Light was a neat little gem. Both Guild Wars 2 and Dishonored lost my interest faster than expected. I'll go back to them eventually, but they weren't as good as I hoped for. So yeah, Xcom was the biggie and it didn't let me down.

Could you provide a source for that estimate? 90% dead seem a bit much even for genocidal conquest. The estimates are in that range. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas

Reminds me of this TV ad. Children see, children do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90aZ1KTNbms Wow, that made me tear up a bit. Why the heck was that banned, it is brilliant. Which is a weird byproduct of having kids, I get freaking choked up at all sorts of stuff.

I think it depends on the content. Judging strictly on hours really doesn't factor in what the DLC costs to produce. I imagine the Borderlands DLC is a lot more about combat than, while the ME3 DLC has more cinematics. That being said, I typically don't want to spend over $10 on any DLC.

Every problem in education can be traced back to the parents.

The Steam key is probably just for multiplayer.

Isn't it a third person shooter? The mouse is superior for FPS games, but I've found that it loses that edge in third person games.

I've been using a controller with my PC's since the 80's. Some are better than others, but the Xbox 360 controller is one of the best I've used. Back when the best sports games were exclusive to the PC, it was the way to play. Plus you haven't played a flight sim the right way if you haven't played it with a joystick and throttle. The mouse and keyboard is superior for certain genres, but action games are not that genre. edit: Bruce, you want the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller for the PC. It is the best, and it works perfectly with any windows OS.

Been having a good time with the Jedi Knight story in TOR. You can tell this was one of their primary story arcs, it blends well with all the other things happening on the planets.

Hey, you can use low fat blue cheese! I have a bit of trouble digesting too much red meat, so I opt for turkey whenever I can. It may not technically be much healthier, but I digest it a lot better.

It usually simply refers to a re-release of a game that sold well with all the DLC or expansions.

Actually I make two patties, then I put a bunch of cheese in between the two, and then seal them together around the edges. You know the burger is done when you start to get a bit of the cheese bubbling through the meat. It works great on crumbled blue cheese. I usually do it with turkey meat though, it's healthier and I find the blue cheese really helps eliminate the dryness of turkey meat. Oh, and honey nut cheerios works better than breadcrumbs or anything when prepping the meat. Apple cinnamon Cheerios are good too.

If you have trouble understanding Alice, you probably aren't taking enough LSD.

Those are crazy. Although my preferred method of using blue cheese is to put it inside the patty.

Cali represent.

Is it just battles, or is there a strategic/RPG element like M&B?
