They said it was a matter of 30 days, actually.

Obviously major publishes won't be part of progressive movements in gaming. They'll see it as too risky.

I expect that Microsoft finds a better way to integrate the advertisements directly into the games, and focuses on microtransactions in game to generate higher revenues.

But Japan's most popular title for years running now IS a multiplayer game, and it's INCREDIBLY popular over there.

It runs on HD3000, but not very well.

The game has no standalone DRM. It is an online only game though, and the starter edition is also online only.

There's a special room you can open with a key you find that lets you change the phase of the moon for a few minutes.

No. You will be spellbound. (period) while playing. (period). So you will be generally spellbound but while playing is an incomplete independent clause.

Maybe this was intentional? any press is good press?

Man, NBC is seriously earning its place in the shitbucket of network TV, which seems like the lowest of the low. And losing their morning dominance, they will be the joke of television.

Legally speaking though, Eul abandoned the mark. Then Pendragon and Guinsoo abandoned the mark. Icefrog picked it up, and the question becomes whether or not he can take it with him / is it transferrable?

Well, one of the most popular versions of DotA for WC3 was DotA All Stars. So that might be part of where this came from.

I don't really understand what you mean by "replaying the same game with the same character to get the same results."

The character development might be somewhat western inspired, but all of the actual mechanics of the game, particularly combat, are distinctively eastern.

I have a hypothesis that you can always improve a game by including some aspect of inter-player interaction.

Grats to the Republique backers! I know there was some trepidation as to whether it would get funded or not.

Tri is better mechanically, in terms of fluidity and accurate hitboxes / hit registration. MHFU is better in terms of content, as it has many more monsters and weapons to play with.

The mechanics in Dark Souls are purely eastern. If they were western, you would just hold down one button in close range of an enemy and see which one of you died first...

OOH OOH. This is a good example for Marry Boff Kill.

But I don't have a cute little kid's voice to sing it in, or a kid to force to sing it and post on youtube :(
