You mean the sports division wasn't running the whole company before?

Steam cards are worth a quarter at most. You would need to get 40-50 per hour to make minimum wage, and I'm pretty sure that's completely impossible.

We'll see. I too am interested to see what it brings to the market, if for nothing else than familiarizing the mainstream audience with the idea that a PC can plug into your TV and replace a console entirely.

The Steam Box is guaranteed to be more expensive and less powerful than a PC you could build yourself. If you are going to make the jump into PC gaming, you might as well just dive in and make your own build. It really isn't harder than plugging stuff together where it fits and you can find a lot of help.

They're not really attractive. They don't even look like they're of age. Maybe people enjoy it because it's quirky and kind of awkward? Because it's two very young, privileged and stiff Aryan youths who are one step away from playing the Harry Potter theme on accordion?

Perhaps he doesn't age because the creators of the anime are less concerned with character development or narrative consistency than they are with keeping the show targeted at a certain age demographic?

This is great. These guys obviously love Dark Souls and it shows down to the gesture spam at the beginning of the video. They do a great job with the music as well and it really underscores how massive and appealing the sound track is, even though it's so sparse in the game. Too bad they didn't do the Gwyn song!

The worst part about Dark Souls 'nope moments' is how much time you can spend banging your head against the wall trying to figure them out, only to find it incredibly easy afterwords. Anor Londo? No problem. I can get through every time and it all seems easy no matter which ng iteration I'm on or what my build is…

I second this post. The ending to ME3 is so isolated from the themes and narrative of the rest of the series that it seems impossible that it wasn't written by entirely different people who had nothing else to do with the game. It breaks all internal logic and uses unforgivably lazy writing techniques to make a point…

If you took out the cheesy music, dialogue and scenes of a modern setting, and told me that this was from Dark Souls 2, I would totally believe you.

Dragon's Dogma kind of is a new IP. The first game had a lot of really great ideas that could turn into something very special with some more refinement. But in many other cases, yeah a new IP is better than the 20th CoD or Halo any day.

Too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?

I played it for a while too, from BC to WotLK. I quit sometime before Cata was released and I haven't really looked back. I put a lot of hours into it, but it wasn't all consuming. There were a lot of reasons I quit - the biggest one being that I was a main tank for my guild and I was tired of having to treat a video…

Guild Wars 2 is all of the things you mentioned. There is no real gear grind, most of the game can be soloed, it doesn't require you to treat it like some kind of sports team or second job and it's easy to pick up and put down.

There's something you might not know about me, Joe Rogan. I play WoW.

He knows who he is?!

I'm not saying you couldn't do that or that the potential for a good game isn't there, but a Civil War sim is a far cry from the fast paced FPS games that are so popular. I would be much slower paced.

You're right, but it may not be a fun place to go. Player actions would be severely limited compared to subsequent periods. Most weapons would be muzzle loaded and the fastet rate of fire would come from maybe a lever action carbine or revolver. No grenades, no explosives etc.

The market kind of got WWII out of its system. There are only so many 'historical' war settings they can really explore, and periods from WWI to the Korean war are all going to be pretty similar from a gameplay perspective. The only thing they can really do the change things up is explore more fantasy or sci-fi types…
