You are absolutely correct. The indie game scene, Steam, iTunes gaming and the like are all major players these days. It is coming full circle back around to the early PC gaming days of freeware, shareware and amazing, new games being created. I have been a gamer since I was 5 years old and I will game until I die.…

I disagree, I think gaming went mainstream when the Playstation hit, but you are right in a sense; the home console market in the late 80's was the start of the crap I was mentioning my my original comment. Atari had stinkers because everyone and their mother was making crappy knock-offs and garbage, but not because…

He's 100% correct.

There are many borderline unethical things that you big publishers do:

That was amazing!

How pathetic is it that I wish I had a time machine not to save the world from WWII or prevent AIDS, but so I can jump forward to September 18th and play this game NOW!

That looks awesome, but those are the DUMBEST cops on earth. They totally lack peripheral vision and even the most basic of situational awareness. The cop just standing at the entrance of the garage that blows up sees a stranger walk in, greets said stranger, 2 min later the whole place blows up, and stranger just…

Well that looks.....boring.

So he spent way too much on way too much hardware to play......Supreme Commander?

I played two characters to the highest level and did not engage in 90% of the MMO-ness of the game at all. I had to group for a few things, but it was all business, no chatting or anything.

I started playing with rogue/thief type classes WAY back in the 70's playing D&D. They were always my favorite to play.

Don't apologize. The Walking Dead is a fantastic game. Take your time and give each episode the attention it deserves.

Thanks for the clarification.

So let me see if I understand this correctly. If I can't find items in the game that I need, I have to grab my iPad, get in the car and drive to the drug store to stand around playing a mini game on my iPad to get the health item I need. Then I have to drive home, load up the game and then heal.

Most DLC is fantastic. It is optional, extends the life of your gaming purchases, adds to the story/lore of your games and makes revisiting older games fun. I love that I can (and many tomes have) get another chunk of gameplay out of my favorite games. Borderlands DLC was amazingly good as was Mass Effect 2 DLC.

Not a single one. Ever.

Honestly, I would just go play something else or not play a game at all.

I doubt it is shopped.

My wife has a couple of old college friends visiting us and staying in our house. They are both single and a little uptight. I don't think either one of them has had a man in their lives for a while.

Oh, I miss them, too, but they are gone for good, sadly. Hell, back in the 80's, you'd get a 50 page color manual, a cloth map and even a book-mark or notepad with your games and the manual was actually required to really know how to play the game.
