You know what? You honestly just really made me question ever getting a themed XB1 over the original.

Are you still one of those people who judges game popularity based on reservations? Where do you work?

1) Yes, for my 360 (which I never use anymore).

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. You are the voice of reason! I already have Xbox Live for a couple of years prepaid, but you're right in that buying a console will turn into a money sink: controllers, accessories and everything else.

Guuuuhhhh this is tempting. Now, if this had been a Titanfall-themed console, I would have already ordered it. Instead, here I am commenting about it.

Yeah, no problem! People love to yell on the internet. Like I said, it's not my style, and I'm not even saying I didn't like it. I just thought it'd be better. I was disappointed, that's all. It's still a decent game.

The biggest thing I did not like was the map. It's huge, but not in a Rome I Total War huge, huge as in if you start at Rome, you may or may not EVER see northern Europe. Forget about seeing the eastern edge of the map. They expanded to the point where it seems inaccessible.

I'm usually not one to bash games. I take gaming disappointment and unfulfilled promises as well as anyone, because usually I really don't care because I have a life to lead.

I would be inclined to say "OK, she could just be really drunk," but combined with the tipster that wrote in to Deadspin that basically described this exactly, I can't help but believe that holy shit, he really did knock her out. Scum.

Right, and the point was that all of that occurred literally decades ago, with Russian/Soviet teams modeled in a way that no longer exists since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Hey, buddy. Catch the video on the front page today?

So I'm really digging it. The biggest thing I can say about it is that every five minutes it seems like I'm living through a Call-of-Duty-style setpiece moment, only it's not a cinematic or a pre-set scene from campaign mode, it's actual gameplay. Will that awe get old and wear off quickly? Yeah, but that doesn't…

I just bought Compendium 1 like 5 days ago. Then I saw this sale and got mildly annoyed. But the difference was only like $6 and it seems it sold out, anyway, so my annoyance has faded haha.

No one should have to tell Incognito to stop harassing people. He just shouldn't be doing it in the first place. You're shifting the blame to Martin for not stopping it like he "should have," but you're missing the larger point that it should not have gone on in the first place. Period. End of story.

Oh, god. That sounds awful in that if I went, there is a 100% chance that I'd be heading home with a newly-adopted dog.

Well that makes more sense. And it's fashionable to people not from the area. I didn't know you were a local.

Good question, to be honest.

Well, your boss is an idiot for doing that. It's the equivalent of going to Times Square for New Year's Eve. You're just paying to be inconvenienced in a fashionable place.

Well, I pretty much agree with everything you said, so I apologize. I was having too much fun.

I'm going to be "that guy" and point out that the Steelers don't have cheerleaders.
