Apparently you missed my winky smiley face.

Well, I dunno man! Looks pretty dated to me. Even though the game is fun, it doesn't look enough like Call of Duty or Gears of War so I guess I'll bring it back to Gamestop.

This is probably the best counterpoint I've seen. Bravo.

Here is a description of Dishonored from its tech page on the Unreal website:

It's supposed to look painterly, like Team Fortress 2. Their goal wasn't photorealism, but I guess making ignorant remarks is your prerogative.

Would love a link to the opening cinematic - I'm desperate for more Halo 4 stuff, but don't want to spoil myself too bad.

What difficulty are you playing on? Because, on Very Hard, the AI is a little too observant and smart for my liking.

As if anyone ever claimed that everything Apple did was original, innovated by them, or that they owned "all of it."

I agree - take the Assassin's Creed angle. You can tie each character together by the Wanderer, but have a different main character, possibly a different time period, etc. You can tell there is a larger world outside of Dunwall, and hopefully we get the chance to see it at some point.

By logic invalid, you were referring to your own point, right? Because Steam is an entirely different platform run by an entirely different, and obviously much cooler, company.

Generally, I would agree. But there are so many great ways to con the system back.

They can, but I don't see them doing so. Maybe the occasional $5 off a $50 card, but chances are, we'll never see a $50 card going for $20 on discount....which is what I bought about two months ago - a 4000 MSP card for $20.

I like how apparently I'm the butthurt one, yet you're the one resorting to petty name calling.

Except run Photoshop well (something a netbook can't), and having a bigger screen and having a physical keyboard (something a smartphone doesn't), etc.

Fair enough, but the discounts on iTunes gift cards rarely matches those of MSP cards. For example, I was able to get a 4000 MSP card - normally $50 - for $19.99 once on a daily deal on Amazon. I've never seen iTunes gift cards discounted at that price.

"you guys". Like, me specifically? Because I haven't.

Totally agree - initially, it can be intimidating upfront...but once you do the math and remember the simple equation you've provided, it is really easy. I know that 800 MSP is $10. 1600 is $20. 1200 is $15. It isn't that hard once you break it down into the 400MSP = $5 range.

Actually, MSP are great. Want to know why?

I think you may be trying to apply a little too much logic to something that isn't meant to have any.

Maybe if it crashes 1,000 times or something. If it happens that often, doing it once isn't really an "achievement" as much as it is, hey, it broke again.
