So is it worth it to pick this up? I have all of the Sins games, and while it's STILL a gorgeous game and fun, it does get old after a while (I'm at the point now that there are only a few of the in-game music tracks that I'll listen to...after YEARS, it wears on ya). I was curious about picking Endless Space up,…

Or, you know, it could be that your whole "we're addicted to MMOs and sustained DLC content for SP games" argument is invalid, and we spent $60 on a game that has 4 "acts" and 4 difficulty modes, all of which are extremely short. I felt as if I paid $60 for a game that of length consistent with DLC, not with a…

Either someone needs a new video card, or this game seriously needs to re-assess it's graphics. I'm tired of being disappointed in games, though. Mass Effect 3 (granted, it's better now, but it took MONTHS after release to get it "stable"), Diablo 3 (fucking pointless), and a whole slew of others...I downloaded…

Sorry that I took so long to reply. It really depends on what stats you already have (unless you have a good stash of 20 million gold or so). What I did was stacked Life %, Vitality, Strength, All Resist, Armor - in that order. I use a sword and shield (actually, 1h Spear and Shield...very Spartan-like). Life %…

And if you want to know why it's called the "God Particle," you can thank the editor of a publishing company. When Nobel Prize winner Leon Lederman wrote a book about the Higgs, his editor didn't think putting Higgs in the title was sexy enough. It didn't grab enough attention, so the editor called it the "God…

I have been running D3 in Linux since it was released. I have never had a problem with it, and am not banned. These people were caught doing stupid shit, plain and simple.

Thanks for the explanation. I never said that stacking DoTs was against the rules. I was assuming that he was running some sort of macro to continue the attack while he was AFK. But that makes sense. I haven't played Demon Hunter yet...almost done with my Witch Doctor A4 Inferno run, and then it's off to Monk,…

No one outside of CERN knows what will be announced on the 4th, especially not a bunch of idiotic reporters, none of whom have a background in any of this (or if they do, they're a rarity). As much as I'm rooting for them, I am not one of the "I bet they found it!" crowd. Seriously, people - we do this shite every…

Hell, I just went over to GoG and grabbed IWD 1 and 2 and am still having a retro-blast full of giggles in the first one. I was going to grab BG 1 but...if it's coming out as a newer version, I may as well just wait.

Thank you! Great books to read. Boring and annoying PCs to play with. Prior to Drizzt gaining popularity, everyone wanted to be fucking Raistlin Majere. At least it was easier to kill their copycat characters off...fail a CON check after casting sleep, and watch him get eaten by a pack of kobolds...

The main thing that I'm curious about, is how he is killing them "AFK". He still has to have at least a mouse in his hand, or someone holding it for him...otherwise he's running something like a Logitech function to repeatedly hit a button, or AutoIt, etc...which would fall under the realm of "exploiting the game on…

I see that, along with Kate Beckinsale, they also roped in The Lord Vampire Victor (Bill Nighy ) himself to make an appearance (at least, it looks like him, at

Nice catch. And that's what I get for posting in a hurry while on my way home to download the extended DLC for Mass Effect 3's ending...ha!

Holy fuck, you can shoot him? I went through the dialogue for each of the choices (and their in-depth explanations), and then said "fuck that, I'm going to kill you on my own terms"...and then let the cycle continue. I had no idea that you could shoot that little twit ;-) Watching the already-too-old "control room"…

I wonder why they kept that stupid old guy? The female 'Stargazer' had a better dialogue...and that old man's voice is just...ugh.

True, but it makes it easier for the the "common folk" to understand and digest. They'll already misunderstand or not comprehend what is said in the article anyway, sadly.

Yes! Good observation!

You're right. The black hole will consume the gas cloud, and radiate energy equal to the amount of mass of the gas cloud. There are many interesting theories about what goes on at the event horizon ("virtual particles", information "sharing") and what goes on inside of (more information "sharing", space-time…

Ha! Same here ;-) I use an add-on in Firefox called "Morning Coffee". With it, you can add a bunch of sites to view either every day, only on certain days, or on M/W, T/TH, etc. I have all of the Gawker sites added to the "every day" category. When I open Firefox in the morning, I click the Morning Coffee button,…

True, but for the sake of journalistic integrity...quoting someone as saying something that they didn't (in a way that can be misunderstood completely) is generally a no-no. ;-) Good point, though.
