Zing!

I was setting up my FemShep while a friend of mine was hanging out at my house. I got stuck on a name so I asked him to grab a random DVD from my collection. I flipped it over and picked the first female name that stood out.

Because it's ADVANCED.

Actually, Plus is $17.99 for 3 months, not one.

There is usually a time limit on free and discounted titles; somewhere between one week and a month.

Here's a quick breakdown:

I thought the first one was a good origin but hoped they would do better next time.

Because watching someone play a game is just as good as playing it yourself?

A little slip of paper isn't always a pass; in this case, it was a code to download content. The Online Pass is a code that unlocks online play. I would never consider pre-order bonuses/DLC as passes. Now, the publisher messing up and not shipping a code when they were supposed to is a separate issue. I'm sure that…

Regarding Arkham City, the Catwoman bonus missions were free DLC woven into the campaign. If Warner/ Rocksteady had just said that, there would have been no problem. They marketed it as part of the game and, technically it is; you have to download it first, there is no pass involved. All controversy would have been…

1. I was using GameStop as the default used retailer. I know that there are many other methods and places to get used games from (I actually prefer Glyde) but GameStop is the largest culprit, especially when it comes to trading in games and using the money towards pre-orders.

All the games that have Online passes are ones that have an online infrastructure that is created and maintained for the purchasers of the game. For a while, companies were content to let anyone access the online portion of their games. "Who cares as long as someone is playing our game, right?" But now, publishers are…

Madden, Battlefield, and Uncharted do well but nowhere near CoD numbers. No game does and that is why Activision hasn't needed to start the pass system. They have CoD and WoW, two franchises that more than pick up the slack if every other game Activision released in any given year flopped.

The major reason CoD doesn't have an online pass is because Activision sells a ridiculous amount of copies every year. A lot of smaller companies are now noticing that the number of people playing their game is nowhere near the number of copies sold and that disparity is enough for them to try and do something about…

I'm confused as to how you can steal something that was given away free. Advertisers buy ad time on shows hoping that a bunch of people watch said show and that a fraction of those people buy the advertised product.

*sigh* This bill is a reinforcement of what was already put in place in 2001. Therefore, if habeas corpus is truly gone, it was gone with the Patriot Act and no one noticed then.

I actually did read the signing statement. Specifically this passage:

What I'm saying is look at the facts:

What I meant was the U.S. political landscape has changed to where now nothing will get done without agreement from both political parties. The Patriot Act passed under different circumstances (Repubs ran everything while Dems rolled over) but that still didn't stop both parties from almost unanimously voting for it.

Oh I know. I've only Prestiged once and that was in MW1. I never felt the need to redo everything again so I can get a shiny emblem next to my username. But Prestige is what is supposed to extend the life of the game and since I don't care about that...
