If I was a betting man, I’d bet that this is a major step toward EA winding down Origin completely. Has anybody set up a pool for when the “Link your Origin and Steam accounts” prompt is added to Origin? Put me down for August 25th.

Yeah, but it’s always been awkward that the trilogy has been split between two storefronts. Origin didn’t exist when ME and ME2 were released, and ME3 was one of the first Origin-only launches, so I imagine most ME fans are in that two-store situation.

And a week from now, they might never know it did.

Theory: Nissan and Infiniti become Ford and Lincoln.

I wonder how Skyline sales have gone in Japan lately? Because if the sedanpocalypse and Nissan putting the Infiniti cart before the JDM horse didn’t kill it, turning it into a tarted-up Altima certainly will.

Please. It’s going to be exactly what gaming has been for the past decade: A Pavlovian reaction to the colors green and blue, and people making sure they find a way to profit from it all.

Consumers were largely dedicated to Steam as the dominant marketplace and unhappy with having to install a new client to play games that were exclusive to the Epic Games Store. But Steam’s monopoly on the PC gaming market also meant that Valve had no incentive to improve the experience.

Self-replying because Bungie posted an update, and the winner is “script sent to the wrong place”.

OK, maybe I’m rounding a bit aggressively on “a few waves”. :) But there is a reason every weapon kill farm in the game involves the phrase “Hive thralls spawn here.”

The bug appears to be a scripting issue that is either skipping a step or sending your character to the wrong place. The Seraph Towers were the only community-wide phase of the quest chain.

Ask Sony, and they’ll tell you PS5 is great but it’s Epic’s engine demo, then sit back and watch their enemy Microsoft get ratfucked.

Almost like the money they’ve spent depriving Steam of inventory and bribing gamers with freebies might have been better spent on ensuring that the empire they’re trying to buy has adequate network infrastructure. Almost.

[extremely Ron Perlman voice] Console War. Console War never changes.

The Audi A2. This was the “hood”. (The knobs labeled “Schnellverschluß Front-Top” were how you removed, not raised, the actual hood.)

Probably the combined risk of those three on a prototype platform vs. Auto Union platforms already in service.

“This scene also tells us that, for whatever reason, New York doesn’t have many self-driving cars.”

“I doubt Tesla will do the full encryption as that has overhead costs for performance…”

Cena would be a decent understudy, but Duke makes for a big Roland, so you need somebody even more imposing as Brick. Besides, we’ve had enough of Johnson playing charismatic tough guys with a heart of gold. I wanna see his take on a total lunkhead with poor impulse control and a heart of gold. As for Cena, I’d like…
