It may have been done to help make that connection, or more so, to give it a place in the worlds time line, but it is all in the same world, so it would have been very odd to have Gollum not look, or sound like the Gollum we all know.

The secondary market is a bit of a grey market — most of the keys are semi-legitimately sourced from other markets (ex. buying keys in India and selling them to people in the West), but you never really know.

From the sounds of it, these are basically phishing attempts, and there are basic precautions you can take against phishing that don't take very much time at all. Taking a close look at the email address you're sending too is a good first step, as is checking the recipient's Youtube page for an email address (not…

Can popular Kotaku commentors get free games too?

Most likely. If you have over a certain percentage of your max equip weight (I believe it's 70%) you'll do the "fat-roll".

Most probably friend. I'm a mostly dodge user, almost no parry and some blovking guy. I use somewhat heavy shields and sorta light gear to make my dodges and blocks effective. At leat in complete Singleplayer I believe this to be a great strategy.

This roll is much slower and covers nowhere near the distance of the Dark Souls dodge roll. The Dark Souls rolls don't involve slowly dropping down to one knee and shifting, they are a crazy dive that would probably be more likely to cause a normal human to break their neck than anything else.

No one simply walks into Mordor.

I hate to sound like a total noob, but I had zero idea there were any apps for this besides Google Authenticator. Thanks.

Please for the love of all things holy and sacred in this world let Alien: Isolation be good. I don't ask for much. A good Alien game would be wonderful. Its the exact kind of alien game I've always wanted.

I just need Alien Isolation to be good, and I will be set

I just went from having zero interest in this game to wanting to play it. Well done.

or he, and the issue with that scenario is lack of organization, not frugality. the problem would be the same if the person spent 10 minutes looking for their platinum charge card.
