There is a flying camel joke in here somewhere, I just don't want to be the first to make it.

Since the game started working, it's actually a pretty great game. That doesn't excuse what happened last week at all. However, if you're able to get in on the back end of it then I would recommend it.

I went from painting Space Marines to Tyranids to Orks to Chaos to Eldar back to Space Marines. I just started at the end of December and probably have dropped way more money than most people do in a year on this. I hate/love it.

I couldn't comment on that, I just enjoy the painting aspect of it. I have yet to even play a single game.

You missed Sins of a Solar Empire.

Yeah, I needed a hobby because I figured dropping $60 every time I go to the bar was getting too expensive. What a fool I was. I just found something I can spend $100 a night on even if it's a weekday.

The Dawn of War series is probably my favorite PC game of all time. The Warhammer 40K setting really is the perfect backdrop for these games and they did such a good job sticking to a lot of the table top rules and feel.

In regards to Obama's State of the Union address, Deadspin users found where one of the guys worked and flooded the companies Facebook page. The company released a statement a few hours later saying they had fired him. I don't know how common it is but, yeah, it definitely can happen.

I'm actually shocked that people put this stuff out on with their names attached to it. A few months ago, I think they pulled tweets during the State of the Union address and people were dropping n-bombs under their real names. There was a guy who I saw comment on an article yesterday with his facebook account where…

Put me in the crowd of someone who doesn't get this. I just can't figure the target market.

That's fair.

I simply disagree. The same problems that plagued the original Xbox series have carried on for ten years now. Inability to audible, unrealistic blocking, pursuit angles, inertia, very few stats mean anything (speed, throwing power, and...?), and a myriad of other problems that lead to an unrealistic experience. Which…

This is what I mean when I say just because there is an addition doesn't mean that it's a good change. Playing offense is painful but defense may be worse because it's impossible to get any points if you play anything except a linebacker. So, does a broken, borderline feature count as improvement? Not in my book.

It's weird the voting came down to two wide receivers.

I specifically pointed out NCAA 12 series not to bust Owen's balls but because I thought that was the epitome of how horribly they've treated the franchise. The "new" features that year, custom playbooks and conferences, were features that were in the original XBox versions. Add in the fact that features were…

That's fair. I don't play FIFA nor NHL and stopped buying Madden a few years ago when it turned into nothing but a roster update, so I can't comment on any of those in recent years. I have, however, bought every NCAA game since 1994 so if you see me harping on this in future sports columns, that's probably why.

Not trying to be a dick but what features are you talking about? They added custom playbooks in the previous years version and it broke the no huddle. When they patched that bug, it broke custom playbooks. That was a "new" feature that was 10 years old but had been removed, the same as the "new" custom conference…

With the way that the game works, we offload a significant amount of the calculations to our servers so that the computations are off the local PCs and are moved into the cloud

Owen, non-facetious facetious sounding question: why can't you recommend this game because it's basically a copy and paste version of last years game but don't have the same issues with EA Sports games? I've been basically playing the exact same NCAA football game for the last 10 years. You guys weren't doing this…

Ha, yes, I was pleasantly surprised no one took it seriously also.
