Anyone else with Prime not seeing these discounts?

Anyone else with Prime not seeing these discounts?

Yes. I’ve been using the preview build for a while, I’d say it’s significantly better than 7. All the performance boosts of 8, Metro interface is entirely optional, and off by default if you’re not on a tablet, and I haven’t had any serious compatibility issues (I have one game I need to run in Win8 compatibilty mode,…

My thoughts exactly. I really enjoyed it, but it is the only book I’ve ever read that I would describe as physically difficult to read

The fastest way to get any kind of tech support is to tell a nerd “X is such a terrible program, it doesn’t even have the feature to do Y” within fifteen minutes, you’ll have a five page document detailing how to do Y in program X. This is especially effective when learning Linux. You can expect your document within…

Go on, find me someone that plays Street Fighter with mouse and keyboard. I guarantee you >90% of people who own street fighter on PC use a gamepad or stick. There's no balance issue there.

I'll wait for the HD remix.

No, back to the future is a more classical style of point and click adventure, plenty of inventory puzzles, no decisions with any bearing on the plot.

Just across the street. The controller was set up at the base of the Washington Monument on Eakins Oval, right about here

They did pong last year, but I feel like that's been done too.

I was there, and got to play myself. Players were picked by lottery a week beforehand, and then they had a sign-up list in the event of no-shows. The games ran from 8-10. So yeah, some of the players were awful, some did pretty well. Also, there was a bit of a lag, so people didn't do as well as they would have…

Art museums are museums that have art in them. Modern art museums try to convince you there's a legitimate reason to watch someone play Civilization for seven hours a day, five days a week, until May 25th.

stop having modern art museums, maybe. But living in Philadelphia, I can't agree when it comes to Science museums or actual art museums. Always remember that there's a difference between art and modern art.

My favorite keyboard shortcuts:

Windows + arrow keys, snaps the window to take up part of the screen, win+left takes up the left half of the screen, win +right takes the right. Up maximizes the window, down minimizes it. Shift+Win+left/right switch the window between multiple monitors.

My first job was data entry in a database of crossword puzzle clues. it was completely rote work, I could have easily been replaced by some cheap text recognition software. I decided I was going to force myself to get something out of it, and made myself learn to touch type. Probably the best return on investment…

Or, hypothetically, you could just care enough about the person to keep in touch with them normally.

Yeah, I thought it was great, honestly. Though,I made heavy use of Riff Repeater, then played the songs once I had a decent grasp of the songs, so that may have had some affect on it.

As a moderate guitarist (been playing about 3 years, hardly Hendrix, but I have a decent grasp of the instrument) I thought the first one showed a lot of promise. The dynamic difficulty style is really helpful, as each individual part of the song would adjust itself to how well you do. The game really will teach you…

Same reason here. I wouldn't mind getting a Deus Ex in Philly. Always been kinda surprissed we don't get featured in games more often. Only one I can think of is Heavy Rain, and like five minutes of AC3.

The character is from an anime called "Fist of the North Star." This clip should explain it.

A first contact war game sounds like it would be awesome, but I don't see it happening, since it wouldn't have an of the other races. I feel like the variety of species you interact with is so iconic of Mass Effect that I just don't see them making a full game that doesn't have the whole range of races.
