Some sort of meta-Dota, sure. Or maybe a sprawling MMO of some sort. I never figured out how it tied together, just that somehow, it worked.

During an intoxicated haze a few nights ago, I postulated that Valve is going to release a game some time in the future, simply titled 3. And its going to tie everything together.

Quad cores are certainly not "mediocre at best," as long as you're comparing mobile vs mobile and desktop vs desktop. Quad core, especially i7 (mobile) is essentially top of the line for anyone but the biggest enthusiasts, and those folks are willing to drop a grand on a 6/8-core monster, so price isn't an issue…

So what exactly is underpowered about this setup?

Because last year they had a running back who ran over everything and a quarterback who was somewhat decent with a passable WR crew?

Not to mention his visor would be worse for wear.

Fucking fantastic.

Also a great place for open chests, nuts.

Yeah, but do you have that dick swing down?

Wow. I'd always assumed you could just back out the "region selection" it makes you pick when you first start an account. That's kinda crap that they do that.

I was answering the OP's question of "how can anyone criticize people for making money blah blah blah" by saying that they're just upset/jealous that they didn't think of the idea first, and are taking it out by saying "well its not a real job anyways, so they deserve it."

Because they didn't think to do it themselves first, that's all.

Pardon my ignorance, but is this an actual problem in current MMOs?

It, like Communism, is a good system in theory, but, like Communism, isn't always carried out in the best manner.

That's interesting, because this one started out as approved. Maybe they changed it recently and you need more than one approval to have the status permanent?

I'm not saying the system is perfect, or even one of the best to use, I'm simply explaining how it works to the best of my ability.

I agree, that does suck, but I also think it makes sense. Being a worthy commentor on, say, Kotaku, does not mean you're a good commentor who has tons of valuable insights on, say, Jezebel.

Are they "root" comments, or are they replies to other comments? I've found that to be the only discrepancy between retaining approval status: usually if its a root comment and gets approved by an author/editor, you'll be approved throughout the entire site (note: just the site the article is on. Getting approved in a…

And yet you're not now! :)

The grey/approved status is per site, so getting approval on Gawker doesn't give you approval on io9, for example. This also stands true for the numerous user-created blogs: your status is per-blog.
