I love love love love love Alien Isolation. I was sad every time it was absent from one of your GOTY lists. That said, it was a tad too long and could have been trimmed down a bit. I think it could have been a much tighter gameplay/story with a bit of the playtime shaved off.

Obligatory.
I'm slowly getting there! I've found the music overall to be fantastic in Warlords so far. And if I never hear that inn music from pandas again, it will be too soon.
I really enjoyed Vashj'ir. I'd lump it with Storm Peaks, the only two zones where Blizz made great use of navigating in 3D space.
The music in Grizzly Hills is my favorite zone music in the game.
Well put. I taught guitar lessons for a long time, and while talent plays into it, hard work will get you so much further. I've taught kids without a musical bone in their body to play fairly well, but only because they busted their ass getting it done at home. Also seen really talented kids just squander it by…
I can't read it without hearing eff-ing in my head.
Well I won't argue that they aren't both awful. AvP2 is more like a bad horror movie. You can watch it and laugh at its badness. Resurrection is just... ug. There is no redeeming quality whatsoever in that movie. Awful dialog, bad CGI, Winona Ryder... the list goes on.
I don't even think either of the AvP movies are worse than Resurrection. God that movie was awful.
Tried it this morning in the tech preview, worked great.
It certainly sounds like they could have scaled it better. Being at ~10k out of 100k probably shouldn't be super punishing.
Fair enough, I've only played briefly offline, but everything else I've played with a matchmaking system, once you get up there, makes it pretty hard to pull ahead of the pack. I would say there's certainly a case for a non-ranked play mode (if there isn't one), and a better handicap system based on score.
Aren't small gains for wins and big losses for losing pretty standard for anything with an MMR?
Nope. Had a "private" channel with a password and was banned for streaming NFL games to my wife when she was out of town.
Always check for items and sets on the marketplace first! It's almost always going to be far cheaper than using the store.
If it works like Adobe's subscribe model (where it upgrades the game as they are released) and play more than one, that's a pretty sweet deal.
Eh, I'd say be ready to mute anyone immediately. Preemptively muting everyone is a bit heavy handed though, as some people are pretty cool. I find about 75% of people are either quiet or can talk like an adult, and 25% are just horrible. Definitely play with friends though if possible.
Also, if you keep playing think about signing up on dotabuff.com. It keeps cool metrics about your games.
You're a newbie who buys teleport scrolls?!? /tearsofjoy
