The strongest argument I've heard for backwards compatibility is that a new console's launch library is extremely anemic, and even after launch, takes real time to grow. Backwards compatibility makes the console about a 1000x more useful to early adopters. For example, if MS wants to tap into that very large

I would love to have "Orthy" over to watch a DVD on my 360. He can experience the joys of "Disconnected from Xbox Live" popups during movies. They're especially great when they pop up over subtitles. During movies is annoying - I'm not sure I could abide that same thing stopping my game...

You've, uh, you've played a Bioshock before, right?

Good point - Day of the Tentacle on my Android device would be rad! It should've been a no-brainer for Lucasarts...

In double-vision where drunk!

Yeah, that game was awesome back in the day!! I thought I was the only one that remembered...

I do! Poor lady got zero credit...

Not sure what to make of this... Despite what folks who work on Unreal say, it pretty clearly favors DirectX. We've seen plenty of Unreal-powered games come out for Xbox/PC, but be delayed (to whatever degree) for PS3.

What first GIJoe movie? Next, they'll be telling me there was a 4th Indiana Jones...

Forevermore denied EA love!!!

CCGs are still a thing?

Another handy trick is to price out your own parts. You don't need to price every nut and bolt, but when the dick at Aamco is telling you "bare minimum" $800 for the major part and your smartphone is telling you $160 (on the 1st search page, no less) - it's a red flag, go elsewhere.

Right! I doubt we're gonna see consoles disappear before cable...

Here's the part that amuses me, [the bar owner] ""First you have to understand the culture of the 5 Point, which is a sometimes seedy, maybe notorious place."

I'm not gonna lie, I rampaged the prison escape! You got nothin in your arsenal for that mission... Once I got blink and knockout darts, I started being significantly less violent. I think you'll be alright. I think (don't know for sure) that there are a few redemption points in the game that count positively

Huh, I dunno why your chaos is high then... Maybe your knockouts are getting eaten like crazy by rats? I put them in dumpsters and closed the lid, up on tables, ledges - just anywhere off the ground. Also, after watching one 2-story faceplant from a knockout bolt, I made sure the target walked safely away from

I'm not dogging your play style at all. I just wanted to make a suggestion.

Still seeing a lot of tapping and swiping. What advantage does it have over a smartphone other than being attached to your head?

Well, hopefully all that thaw doesn't include release of devastating chemicals, bacteria and viruses from the primordial age. It might not go so well for us, hahaha!

Yeah, metaphysical power creep has replaced character driven stories and plots, and pretty much ruined the superhero genre. Somehow, even Wolverine has super strength these days... Not that the superhero genre was exactly high drama to begin with, but I think you know what I mean. Most stories are thinner than an
