Ooh, much appreciated. After a long day in SCRUM meetings, I am looking forward to mindless killing of things and pretending they're my project manager.

The Dungeon Siege Complete Pack (1, 2, 3 + DLC) is on Steam's midweek sale for 5 bucks. A much better deal than the one Amazon has currently.

This is a European conference. It makes sense that they would highlight them

Of all the examples you had to cherry-pick from, and you chose Defiance?

really?

You know that "jipped" is a racist term, much along the lines of the maligned term n****r-rigging, et. al.?

It refers to gypsies, and the thought that when dealing with one, you would always get the short end of the stick, hence, you had been gypsied, or, "jipped", as you put it.

It's a federal class action, which means that Gamestop is going to do their best to push this into federal court where the Fed. Rules of Civil Procedures would apply. I know that the plaintiff will fight it, if only to extend the harsher NJ laws and thus increase his amount of take home pay. Otherwise, I completely…

Lol. Going under the assumption that you are being sarcastic, you already know why.

Look up the Intel class action lawsuit from the PII chips with the math coprocessor error. They were in the process of fixing it when the class action came around, and each person that was affected was actually getting a new processor…

With cases like this, they'll try to turn it into a class action lawsuit. With that in hand, they'll go after Gamestop on behalf of a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand potentially injured people. Gamestop will settle out of court and put a sum in escrow for settling with the injured pool. Each person in the…

Gamefly actually has a ton of Squeenix games for the cheap:

The learning curve isn't as steep as you think, and you can actually just quickly press them with your thumb. The last row is a bit dicy at times, but those aren't any different than the 0,-,= on your number row.

Look up the G600.

Get the Logitech G600. I use it in Photoshop and it shines. It also has a secondary function key that acts like an alt/ctrl button that is under your ring finger, so you can map the 12 buttons to something else entirely. So, in essence it's like a 24 side button mouse. I love it.

I love my G600. It replaced my Naga as well. The thing that sold me on it was the shift button for my ring finger, meaning I can assign alt-numpad commands to the mouse as well. And you're right, it's not just good for games, I use it in photoshop as well, with different commands assigned to the buttons, and I've…

My favorite was the "Controller disconnected" one. Oh, and the restart screen. The first time the restart screen popped, I almost threw my controller across the room.

They are wonky, but then, RE controls were the rage back then, weren't they?

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.

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.
