Fair to say it's the truth, simply by being the only game really worth buying so far in this gen. Also this...

Pick-up-and-play simplicity, I expect. Due to its history, this will probably not be a stats-heavy exercise, and Gauntlet had to be fun straight away as an arcade game from the moment you dropped in your money and hit 1up.

FURY. FURY AT MARKETING MATERIALS. "What a total prick statement", indeed.

No, I'm right here.

It's pretty strange how well spread out the word and its equivalents are, in fact. I'm not saying "cunt" was the first word ever spoken, obviously... but I am saying we can't prove it wasn't. It would have made for a fucking amazing "2001" intro, if one ape out of a group had kick-started human intellectual evolution…

Indeed so. "Chugging" for "drinking" was already there, and "butt-chugging" will hopefully never be necessary.

And then some. You'll find it in ancient Norse, but there are almost identical forms of the word in so many different languages and regions of Europe at the same time that you have to assume the root word is even older.

Thank you. If I need an anatomical metaphor, "guts" or "backbone" would be my go-to words here.

There is one single opportunity for it to raise a laugh once more: if Valve really does announce the game one day with the phrase "HL3 Confirmed".

Agreed. I was in my teens at the time, and I still thought it was stupid. Sounded like a defanged, aimless, commodified Chuck D rip-off, and metal guitars are almost never a good idea in hip-hop either.

Yeah, that site seems to think a 500W will be plenty, so I'm fine there I think!

Thanks for the advice! Silence is very important for this PC, so I don't plan to overclock and at the moment I'm not looking at K series i5s for that reason. I'm going to start with a 256GB SSD for Win8.1 and software installs, with a view to adding another later purely for game installs, and I'll add my current 1TB…

Is it an older card, or a dual GPU? I'm putting together a list of parts right now, with an idea that I might buy a GTX770 as part of the build, and all my calculations seemed to indicate that a 500W PSU would be fine. Am I grossly underestimating the draw here?

It's just the sad state of the daily pressure of journalism now. I can sympathise with editors, since the stress must be pretty bad, and it's unsurprising that a regular fallback is "see popular TV show, negatively criticise popular TV show". In this case, everyone had beaten them to the punch on representation of…

Very true, and there was the sense that the people suspecting unseen Satanists from the get-go were wrong, and this was some kind of ancient nature cult (what with the police sketch seeming to hint at the Green Man legend, and the antlers to the myth of European myths such as Herne).

I'm having trouble seeing the distinction. If MacDonalds creates the boundaries around the revenues, and is aware that there is a severe limit on the budgetary creativity can possibly employ, and is aware that McD worker wages have been uniformly low all over the world for decades (except in countries with a decent…

I don't know why you're picking on the Kotaku review as though it was the one dissenting opinion (although, even if it was the only one, since reviews are opinions it would still be legitimate). As it is, the game got a response between lukewarm and angry from the majority of reviewers, which is reflected in the…

Pure Wee Klepto Bastard Simulator 2014, if we're going to be formal!

So the plural is "Owen"? Or are they hard animals, like oxen, and a single Owen is an Ow? Everything confuses me nowadays :'(

You're looking at night time versus daytime though. We don't have the footage yet to make this comparison. The old footage's day scenes were very light and sunny too.
