Yes. Yes. A thousand times, yes. The controls are still a bit wonky and take getting used to, but the spell casting mechanism is awesome (one I wish other games would use), and the story is sincerely epic, plus, if you want the final ending, playing through three times to defeat the three Outsiders is pretty much a…

I want to know when Vader is going to show up and chew him out for standing too close to his ship.

See, it's funny, because Vader is like father in German, and my dad would chew me out if I got too close to the '68 Mustang he was restoring.

Yeah, it was a stretch, but it's 2 am here.

On the outside, maybe. From a developer/programming standpoint, 4.1 and 4.2 both brought a lot to the table. I'm excited for the conference later this month so I can see how 4.3 is going to help on that side of the coin.

I remember when I was new to the whole video game pre-order phenomenon, and a Superman game was coming out. I was genuinely excited, because it promised 3D flying, and using all of his super powers to rescue people and save the day.

Then it came out and the reality made me want to give up video games forever.

The year…

I'm really disappointed that Stardrive seems to be universally panned. I've been looking for a good 4x space empire game, but the halcyon days of yore and MOO2 (and to a lesser extent, the modded MOO3) brought about. I've heard good things about Sins of a Solar Empire. Anyone have any thoughts?

Or, if you want to gross out your squeamish wife, it's a great motivation to die ALL the ways. Not that I did that.

Do you have any knowledge of graphs, things like Djikstra's algorithm, et. al.? I'm not asking to be a smart ass, I'm asking because this is how the system works. It assigns a person a degree of membership to a known gang using a real number from 0 to 1. 0 means they have no information, 1 being an admitted member.…

I just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. This game definitely sounds like something I would enjoy, enough for me to find it and buy it last night from Amazon.

Thanks again!

Just out of curiosity. What is the deal with Ni No Kuni? I ask this not as a troll, but as someone who has a long love of games like Persona/Suikoden. I never really got into the Final Fantasy craze, although I do appreciate how they transformed western gaming tropes. It's just that every time I think I might drop…

Screaming "fire" in a movie theatre is not illegal. This is a common misconception that stems from the Schenck v US decision from 1919. It was overturned in 1969 by Brandenburg v Ohio, and upheld by SCOTUS that says, "the principle that the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a…

Because the kid isn't a serious flight risk, I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding a bondsman who would do it for the standard 10 percent. So, it'd only be 50 grand. Unless his bail was really set at 5M, in which case, yeah...

This wouldn't be a kickstarter, I think, so much as one of the other fundraising sites.

I just spent two minutes trying to come up with what that acronym spelled, only to realize it didn't spell anything. ASAIACEDP...

well played sir. well played.

Aaaand, apparently, this was sleight of hand. He said, "...and to kick off that program, I'd like to share just two of the titles we're going to offer over the next two months..." which is a very very poor word choice because of how misleading it is. Because apparently, even you got snookered over it.

And in other news, Xbox Live Gold subscribers got some crap ass TD game instead of Assassins Creed 2! Yay for misdirection! Seriously...wtf?

Maybe it's just me, but the editing of the video combined with the fisheye lens just aggravated me. I understand the fisheye for the depth of field/angle of vision, et.al., but it still distracted me from enjoying the video. And the cut aways were also distracting. It reminded me of the old skate vcr tapes we used…

I have two toddler aged daughters, so now that Amazon Prime has an exclusive deal with Nickelodeon Jr. for Bubble Guppies, Dora, et. al., That's where we go for her movies/shows during her two hours/day of mass media input.

Also, as a parent, the Amazon Mom deals for diapers/wipes beat every brick and mortar store…

*Flips open a copy of Tale of Two Cities* Hmm...grammar seems to be the same as it is now. Subject verb object. Same declensions, similar prepositions, adjectives before nouns...

How far back should we be going?

They rebranded the Mirror's Edge + DLC as a Have Faith bundle for $4.99.

My HTPC computer has a blu-ray optical drive. It might as well be a coaster for as much as I use it. There are always going to be people who like physical media. As the father of two toddlers, I detest it. I think it's prone to damage, which renders it useless, and loss, which again, renders it useless. All of my…

And this is the direction that Microsoft was trying to go. Completely digital. No physical media. I have a library of about forty five games on Steam that I have absolutely no physical media of. That I can't lend to a friend. That I can't sell used. That, okay, perhaps, I don't actually "own". Or if I do, it's…
