Especially considered that most displays are still locked at 60 fps.

I was possibly drunk.

I hesitate to promote this, but...

Yeah, fuck mods!

You're looking pretty reasonable yourself this evening, good sir and/or madame.

I think your economics model of the situation is cartoonishly simplified.

I read this a while ago, and was all, "those places ain't so bad..."

What a game! New Vegas is excellent as well, though different in ways that I haven't really realized until playing it all the way through then thinking about it for a while.

I feel that over the past few days, Kotaku has been showcasing reasonable people saying things really reasonably.

PS2 and xbox emulation can be crippling, even to a powerful machine such as yours. Advice: find a good emulator, then google the game you want to play with it. Sometimes games will run just fine "out of the box", but often they'll need specific settings or speedhacks to get them running smoothly. Some games, such as…

I understand this, which is why Apple hardware will run Windows (though with some restrictions and caveats).

Ask your brother for access to his Steam account.

And the way to execute it is to better understand the people you're selling to. Companies spend millions of dollars every year to try to get a better view of who their customers are, and what their customers want.

Steam works just fine for me when I'm not online.

In parts of the United States it's seen as pejorative. It's sometimes used to self-identity as a point of pride ("hell yea I'm a ginger!") but it's more often used to express distaste.
