They’re arguing that a fighter who loses to someone who’s doping ought to get their opponent’s purse, both as compensation for the damage to their reputation, and as a penalty for the guilty party regardless of whether the promoter penalizes them or not.

True, but no one ever plays it that way. Then they complain that (when you ignore the single most time-saving rule in the game) it’s boring and takes too long. Gee, y’think?

For that matter, play it with every property being sold as soon as it’s landed on, either to the player that landed there or immediate auction. Get to the horse-trading and elimination process much faster.

Ghosts? If I recall, the only D2 hero confirmed dead is the Sorceress, who dies in the Wizard’s short story (it’s possible that the Assassin dies in the same story).

Man, I’m glad MY desk job doesn’t require me to sit for 72 hours straight staring at a screen.

MST3K? Rifftrax?

You hit the nail on the head about polish. Folks will handwave a ton of crap away when it’s a small team of folks running a private server that they’d never accept when it’s an official product they’re paying for access to.

Destiny and Overwatch are two new current-gen IPs that I’m very excited about - in fact, as I’m not great at competitive FPSs, I’m MORE interested in the ancillary stuff of Overwatch than I am the game itself. Here’s hoping for more single-player (or at least co-op PVE) content. Destiny, meanwhile, I’ve sunk more…

Jason, I’m not saying that, if you guys put posters of these world maps Angelica’s making up for sale once the series is over, I’d buy them.

Low level combat in FFXIV nearly killed the game for me.

I generally cook my hamburgers to about that level of doneness. I haven’t gotten sick from it yet, and if I one day do, I may regret my decisions. But until then? Delicious.

We’ve got that here in the States as well. It’s still called a hamburger steak (or, sometimes, chop steak).

What in the world is going on with that pistol’s slide in the header image? Graphical glitch or bizarre lighting or did it belong to a CoD enthusiast before Clementine found it?

Origins sub-par? You take that back. Buggy as hell with questionable balance, but still excellent. 

Ugh, I remember renting the Batman Forever Genesis game - granted it was a movie tie-in, but awful barely scratches the surface.

My save got corrupted and I had to restart the game twice and I’d still count it my second favorite of the series (though I’d put Asylum in first).

That’s true of any immersive experience, from a spellbinding book to a thrilling (traditional) video game.

AT the risk of coming off as a contrarion, how is this any different from when game journalists and enthusiasts were declaring motion control the way of the future? It just seems very familiar: substitute Wiimote for Rift and Motion Plus for Touch controllers. Sony’s even resurrected their own abandoned hardware for a…

To be fair, some of my distaste for Arby’s comes from workign there and seeing what the roast beef was before it became roast. Or beef.

I mean, it was either do fun, cool advertising or start serving non-terrible food, and let’s be realistic for a moment: that second one ain’t happening any time soon.
