Wouldn't it be great if every single game came with a separate launcher program to setup and run before you played your game?

lol Bastion.

Jeezus christ, just read off a list of games released during the year so you avoid the glaring omissions that you will get flamed for later.

I've had fun with all of those games, and definitely played each one of them longer than I played Portal 2.

The term client-side hit detection comes from the client PC doing hit detection. Servers still calculate for validity in "client-side hit detection". Before client-side hit detection, you'd click, and using client-side weapon firing, your weapon would fire immediately (even though the server doesn't know you fired…

The only action movies I can think of where there aren't artificially inserted romantic interest are Jet Li movies where the damsel wasn't also asian. Interracial couples are only ok in hollywood if there's no asian male involved.

Will they have the balls to have a gay action hero? Or will they turn him straight for the movie?

What they've shown of this game was decidedly unimpressive. I'm willing to give the new perspective and a new vision of Xcom a chance, but they should do it well or not do it at all.

If that means tightly produced episodes I am on board 100%

Those animations look kind of terrible. A lot of limb-only motions with no follow-through, doesn't look the way you'd expect Nightwing to move.

No.
