I'm troubled by the fact that you profess to be an "old school gamer" since the late 90s, when shooters did not generally feature progression systems or weapon/character unlocks in multiplayer and are first comparing the game to a late 90s shooter and then complaining that it does not have modern features non-existent…

All content in the game had been published on multiple websites prior to release.

The game launched with 15 maps. Most modern shooters launch with 9 or 10 at most.

While I have mixed feelings about the rift buyout, facebook has a pretty solid track record in the opensource community.

The odds of that happening are pretty slim. The amount of money Microsoft would have to put down to get this company that has yet to release a consumer product to come into the fold is probably pretty staggering. Besides that, the Rift guys certain aren't hurting for funds when you consider the 200 million in…

I was coming here to post the original Two Worlds.

It's really hard to offer a full judgment until I get my hands on the release version but I think the gameplay definitely benefits from objective gametypes. Since matches are only 6v6, Hardpoint does a much better job of forcing players to utilize more aspects of the map such as the indoor spaces instead of camping…

As a former architecture student, I wasn't a fan of Gehry's work until I spent a week working with ARUP and had the opportunity to see his concept sketches and design process. At that point, I kind of had to admire the guy if only for his ability to turn a bunch of nonsensical sketches into actual buildings that are…

I'm not exactly sure why this is hilarious?

I find this interesting.

I'm not particularly bothered by this.

Harry Loyd, Lord of Innistrad?

Huh. Pretty sure I have that exact parka, although it would make sense if he's in Germany. Marquardt and Schulz bundeswehr pattern.

Not all of the elder things were terrifying to behold.

I don't think anybody sits down and says "Man, I really want to shoot up a school, but I just can't get a suppressor!"

I am acutely aware of what is behind this. Most of my family works in the music industry, and back before they had the robots that trawled through YouTube issuing claims with no regard for logic or fair use, my stepfather had the wonderful job of manually finding and reporting videos that 'infringed' on UMG's…

Sometimes, I look at the directions companies like YouTube or Microsoft take their products and I wonder, "Does anybody in charge at the company actually use their own product and understand even a little bit what will piss vast numbers of people off?"

I admit pretty much total ignorance when it comes to European gun laws, so that's interesting to hear. Do you think the stance on suppressors would be the same if gun crime was as common in Europe as it is in the US?

But do you really need to go full mall-ninja with a drum on your Ar-15 to enjoy shooting at targets? What additional enjoyment or benefit does it offer you?
