Totally bought half these games over the weekend steam sale. Son of a B!

Amen. Been rockin the Asus Direct CUII TOP 670 for a few months now, there's absolutely no need whatsoever for a beefier card unless your gaming greater than 1080p resolutions, or doing multi-monitor.

I'd hardly take a comment about optimization issue's from 4A as any indication of any serious hardware pitfalls in the Wii-U.

Pancakes; all exciting at first, but by the end, your fucking sick of 'em! xD

Wow, you really are a pancake, aren't you?

Actually reading through your exchange to this point has been a waste of time to be sure; but this last post here has me thinking that your participation is this argument is purely on the side of semantics.

It also appears to be of fine build quality as well as from the mid-90s.

Seriously; someone get to work on fy_totilosapartment, like, now.

I've played Marathon once in my life, and the only reason I did was to get a halo reach name badge, I believe. I also believe that very name-badge is the reason 75% of the marathon-savvy halo fans even know about it in the first place.

Yeah, Tommy Tallarico left to go and do Video Games Live, the touring music act. I find the people Vic has together now to be a great group of game media folk.

This accurately describes my gaming life of the past year and half. I mean it EXTREMELY accurately describes it. Seriously, if anyone cares to, add me Ev5000 on steam and take a look at my game list and corresponding playtimes, and shake your head.

After reading through these comments, nobody even mentions these two shows still being around.... are they only aired on the Canadian G4 or something? If so, I feel bad for you guys, I've still got my gaming news show and games review show up here.

Will I still be getting my daily fix of Electric Playground and Reviews on the Run? I'd hate to see Victor Lucas' work go down after everything he's done for gaming television.

Ok ok you got me, I did enjoy that a little. I'd like to make a riff on his username, but I'm not about to confuse grammar with linguistics; if his name was "lingoburn", that would be 'ironic'.

Hate to play Devils advocate, but how is the fact that star crafts main competitors were birthed from a bonus component of the first game in the franchise NOT ironic?

Well, Eul, the creator of the original dota map, DID actually base his concept on the aeon of strife star craft map; so, hero units or not, it is legitimately fair to attribute the genres base origins to aeon of strife.

Yeah I guess so. I just kind of want a perspective from the viewpoint of one of the 10 million subscribers that both Kate and Mike mention in the article.

Just out of pure curiosity; are there any well-known/reputable video game critics that are also known to actually qualify as a hardcore MMO player? I'm talking a person who enjoy's the long haul of endgame. Someone who raids at least 2-3 times a week. I think that's the main type of player that WoW tries to cater to,…

The randomization and base-building are two things that it doesn't hold in common with XCOM. The main similarity I feel is the idea of permanent death of units, as well as the grid-based strategic combat. All with a nice fantasy backstory and flavor to it.
