The good stuff :]

Awesome news! Best of luck to Austin!

If you ask me, you guys were being far more efficient, not less :]

I never call in sick for the release date of a video game.

This is one area of the game that they keep expanding with every sequel, but they really need the throw the whole thing out. As you mentioned, it seems silly to me to take a fantastic open world experience and then jam the players through tiny pigeon-holes in these missions. It'd be one thing if the objectives made…

I believe you can star servers and then filter by favorites.

Oct 31 of 2002, which is exactly 10 years prior to the release date of NS2 :D

One thing that hasn't been considered (at least not in THIS article, I haven't read Ismail's full article yet) is the fact that game developers are required to have a specific amount of achievements in their games. The actual number of individual achievements will vary, but they need to add up to a specific total…

Yeah, those methods are pretty stupid, and most drugs deserve their illegal status. Marijuana is pretty dang safe in comparison, especially as a recreational drug and in moderation.

This mirrors how I feel about my gaming hobby a lot, especially in the dating realm. Gaming is what I do with my "I have nothing else to do" time. Some people watch TV with that time, some people don't have that time, some people do whatever else they want. I tend to play games.

If you've ever gotten tipsy or drunk from alcohol it's pretty much the same concept, but a different experience. Cigarettes are a bit of a different beast since they contain highly addictive elements, so people continue to use them long after the "make me feel good" buzz of them goes away. After that it's just…

Hold on to your butts.

Hah, I was just thinking the same thing. Wouldn't be surprised if that becomes that standard thing to call it. Kinda just rolls off the tongue.

Surprise!

As much as I can get worn thin on Naruto, playing the 2nd game in the Storm series was a treat. The set piece battles were amazing. The story mode ended up getting super repetitive, but it was worth it for those fights :P

I think you mean "Somehow manages to make pulling a ramen cart something badasses do."

It's hard to really put my finger on why, but the eyes and grin of your Pandaren in this screenshot remind me way too much of ET. Yes, I realize that sounds really weird.

Now that's a video game tattoo I can get behind!

Yikes. I hope Santa Monica sends him free God of War games for life, at least.

The fun part is I wouldn't be surprised if my statement is still valid.
