The ‘hack’ in this case, as far as I can tell, involves the Astro’s not properly revoking account credentials after a staffer left, and that staffer either continuing to use those accounts or sharing those credentials with others.

Is there some rule that there has to be at least one comma per five words in a sentence?

The offer just ran out as I was getting my wallet.

I’m not familiar with the particular issue you’re talking about, so I won’t comment on it. But again, I don’t see exploiting mistakes in the game engine as being an example of skill. If someone finished a marathon faster than anyone else because he could alter the local laws of physics for himself, would that be an…

I really hate the way abusing the game engine has taken the place of actually getting good at the game for speed runs. Bugs are not features, and using them to gain an advantage is cheating. If that’s fun for you, go ahead, but skill at finding and using exploits should not be the most important part of being good at…

“Here’s how to not fuck things up with the first kinky poly bisexual girl you lived with. Here’s how to find the one you married.”

I’m on a Windows 7 box, and I don’t see the little icon to upgrade. Am I going to have to install from scratch?

I was fine with no flying when there was interesting content to engage with on the ground—levelling, storylines, whatever. There was a sense of exploration, of going places, of story.

I’m sorry, but you said that he’d worked for a Philadelphia sports team for more than 5 minutes. How did he not know that Philly fans are obnoxious assholes?

The second expansion is in closed beta right now, and is expected to release later this year. It is a bit early, but the game is suffering a bit in popularity because a large chunk of the team was pulled off of the expansion to make Heroes of the Storm, so I suspect they’re trying to boost player numbers before it’s…

They’ve run sales periodically (and I’m kind of surprised they aren’t for the anniversary) but the earliest I’ve ever seen a battle chest come out is with the second expansion.

Men coming back pregnant from Alien Abductions has been a feature since at least Sims 2.

I’m having a hard enough time not buying the old X-Wing games from GoG or Steam, and you have to post this? Why do you hate my free time?

If they'd killed the priests's Velen once the Mage had one, they could have gone until the Mage had 10 copies of Arcane missles in hand (as it was, they very nearly screwed up the setup by dropping the mage character below fatigue damage) and added another 5 hours to the turn. That would be the simplest way to extend…

Six years? Blizzard can't get anything done that quickly.

I've backed 17 projects on Kickstarter. Of those:

Do I care that he's sleeping with other people? No, not particularly. But the lesson from this sort of thing, both for the guy involved and in general should be less 'cover your tracks better' and more 'don't be an asshole, asshole.'

"Delete your texts and pics dude!"

I am certainly open to the possibility that the particular set of routes in that play was a poor choice, or that the QB shouldn't have thrown it where he did (as you point out, the receiver was going to have to work hard to break the plane again, if it was even possible) or made a whole other host of bad decisions in…

Zooming in like that to set focus and then pulling out is a normal practice with video cameras. Not normally while on the air, of course.
