I've said nothing about her character, just her appearance. I didn't dislike her in ME1 or 3. It makes sense that the two would be different, given how much time had passed. A bit too rigid/short-sighted in both games maybe, but still pretty cool. Nobody's perfect.

For the most part, I think you're general comment is right. I think most characters DID look better in ME3. She, for me, was a glaring exception. I think it's in the eyes. Something changed. It's not just the hair and skin tone. She looks like a husk, too lean maybe, too sharp and angular. It looks like a bad…

Fuck this scary shit. I'm going back to your Banished video :-)

But this isn't competition. This is market fragmentation and protectionism, which is anti-competitive. Competition means we sell the same products on all stores and let each store compete with price, ease of use, quality services, etc.

But this isn't competition. Competition means that everything is for sale everywhere with no strings attached. I mean, sure, whatever online storefront you buy the game from will use it's own form of DRM. So Steam requires Steam, Origin requires Origin, etc. That's fine. But competition means every EA game is…

It just doesn't make any sense to me. Steel cuts human flesh but not monster flesh? Silver cuts monsters but not humans?

I have the first 2 Witcher games on PC but didn't like them all that much. The people were ugly, the world was kinda ugly, the interface was wonky, and I just can't seem to get past the idea that it's dumb to need 2 swords. That said, I saw the improvement in Witcher 2 vs 1, and I really want to support companies…

I just love how this plane is the antithesis to much of the crap we build today. This thing is a flying tank built around a gigantic Gatling gun. Not pretty. Not stealthy. Not a drone. Not super fast. Not made in an attempt to build one plane that does everything for everyone. Not insanely expensive or…

Awesome. Now port a high-rez version to the PC, price it at $80 and you got yourself a deal! :-)

You can't skip the cutscenes? WTF!?

To be fair, Activision only cares about how many units they've shipped to retailers, because that's where their money comes from. You and I don't buy games directly from Activision. We buy them from retailers. Well, Activision's revenue is based on their sale of games TO retailers, not the sale of games FROM those…

It's not as huge a deal as that Xbox One bundle, but if you're dead set on a PS4, here's a Last of Us Bundle for $380. [PS4 The Last of Us Bundle, $380]

Retailers aren't waiting around for Black Friday to offer aggressive deals on the Xbox One. Today at Walmart, you can get an Assassin's Creed Bundle with Unity and Black Flag, plus a game of your choice, for $379. [ Xbox One Assassin's Creed Bundle and 1 Game of Your Choice, $379]

Questions:

I'm waiting for 20% off or the best pre-Christmas deal I can find, whichever comes first.

VLC also has a pretty decent video converter built in. If you have a file that needs to be in a different format to upload or play somewhere, you may not need to download an entirely different application just to convert it. Here's how to convert between one file and another:
