It can be now, they've added quite a few tools that allow players to program custom scoreboards for things like deaths, kills, items gathered etc. etc. , there's all sorts of PvP maps and "race for the wool," other such competitive pursuits. Can be kind of fun, actually.

I don't know, I just got done playing my first normal campaign through Diablo 3 on 360. It felt like a pretty dang complete game to me. Do keep in mind I also own all copies of previous Diablos and expansions so not lacking any kind of perspective on that...

Pfft. Console version is fragging fantastic.

Say what you will about the super-sized power brick, but I've learned to love the gigantic LED light on it. It's doubled as a night-light for so many years I'm not yet certain how I'll replace it when such a time inevitably comes.

Really the time investment is the same, and his odds of finding a shiny aren't changed at all. He set up a system where he spends less time in direct control of the game, making it a novel answer to time management issues, but the odds of finding a rare creature and being able to successfully capture it are unchanged.…

I don't think YouTube works the way you seem to think YouTube works.

Who really cares about HD? Anyone who cares to actually be able to read the text on 9 out of 10 modern games probably should.

Boredom made me Google the term 'Diretide,' which led me to discover that there's already a Know Your Meme page up about this. But, something about it struck me as funny:

It's important and relevant only as long as the peen-waving contest is in effect. Then, everyone goes back to playing games and forgets all about it until someone whips theirs out once more and the cycle repeats.

IT BEGINS

Sony finally develops a console that's easy to develop for? Soon rain will be falling up and dogs will be sleeping with cats. The end of all is nigh. Thanks, Sony.

My wrists hurt just from thinking about using that thing.

Only tangentially related, but I recently had the experience of someone on a forum calling me by my first name during a response to an argument I posed to them when no personal details were offered through my profile. Was very confused how they did it until in a moment of clarity I Googled the username I chose to use…

Someone just really wanted to make a cinemagraph?

Strange that would be the case, because the strongest entries in the series take place in that era.

My online names are almost always now a variation of 'Biz' If I can snag just 'Biz,' that's the best (which isn't common to do, even Kinja demanded a four-letter name). No real good story behind it, just a long-standing nickname that keeps coming back around (Even when I move, new people I meet ultimately drop my…

I completely know you're being facetious, but Bayonetta is a strange example for them to use. I see her as almost a parody of the Highly Sexualized Female Game Character. It's like they took the primary tropes for such characters and just took them to their ultimate logical extreme. She's almost a satire unto herself.…

It sure is bad. Fang's arm looks like it could hang past her knee, and Vanille is staring into my soul while wielding a wooden hand.

Never heard of Cowboy Cookies but I heave heard of (and eaten more than one of) the Slopper. If anything is uniquely Colorado, it's that "sandwich." They're so ubiquitous now you can find them from FoCo down to Trinidad and across the Divide as well. Fuck those cookies. I back the Slopper.
