"Do you think EA does pricing studies before setting prices? Of course not."

There aren't really any advantages to getting it for steam over GOG. I'd go with whatever distributor you want to support with your dollar. I like valve and the GOG people, so I don't think you can go wrong either way. Whatever you end up choosing, I'm sure you'll enjoy the game.

I still appreciate the post. My wife and I were going to sign up for DVD only netflix a while ago and saw it wasn't an option. We ended up deciding not to sign up at all. Now that we know that it's back, we might consider again. Thanks.

Fair point. My comment was supposed to be a joke (although I admit it wasn't very funny). I actually work as an attorney for a large software company, so I'm very much aware of the issues of copyright/IP protection in China and realize that the Chinese government has cooperated with US companies (my company…

I can't believe I find myself in a situation where I'm actually rooting for Apple.

only when it protects Chinese companies from evil foreign companies.

That just made me want to check out FF XIII2. I just played through Star Ocean Second Story on my PSX (yep, it still works) for the 3rd time last week.

I don't think anything will ever beat the beaver casemod.

Did you ever play Interstate '76? That was my favorite Car Combat game of the era.

FF7 Liara is sooo cute!

EA started selling DLC (sometimes in the game itself) outside of steam, and not allowing steam to sell the DLC itself. That way, EA could still take advantage of marketing its games through a popular digital distribution service, but could keep all of the profits on DLC without sharing with steam. Steam apparently…

I could never get past Ash's Xenophobia. How could you not like Krogans?!

BASTION had the best music this year in my opinion!! (Best game soundtrack in the last couple years)

Yeah. that's the game. It had all kinds of interesting gameplay mechanics, but one that I actually like was the fact that your gas mask filters reduced over time, but there wasn't a countdown on the GUI anywhere. You actually had to put down your gun temporarily and pull out your timer watch to see how much more…

The only one I've found that added to the atmosphere (instead of just adding to my frustration) was Metro 2033.

not necessarily a better example, but certainly not an inappropriate example either. Cat Woman may have been created decades ago, but her character and portrayal have evolved with the times. I think the Batman franchise as a whole is a suitable case study for this type of article because Batman is a celebrated…

Joking aside, I completely agree with you. That a certain elite group of people can buy the stock at a fixed price before anyone else is unfair. I'd prefer SEC regulations that strictly limits the ownership of stock to employees of the company until it goes public. The billionaires can buy and sell with everyone…
