totally, Carbon was still a good runner up for me though, Basically the same game with more stuff (drifting, canyon races, better customization), though the theme wasn't as good but whatever.

They were alright but they felt like they were missing something. Pro Street was a great circuit arcade racer, different strokes for different folks of course! I loved pro street but know I'm in the minority for that. I really like to own my cars and modify them.

Considering how awful they have been after Carbon/Pro Street I am in no way disappointed.

There is much better shading going on in second sun than in HL2 EP2 as fantastic as that game looked when it came out it doesn't hold a candle to mo0dern shaders.

Indeed... because it can, but I do have to say these look great. especially considering the limited hardware they had to work with. and it's pretty kickass for a 400dollar machine.

The only thing i get really excited about is the indie games section, I get to talk to my favorite devs and meet new ones, try interesting concepts and just generally hang out with people who have the same passion as me. the bigger section of the show floor has cool stuff and swag but it's not the main event for me.

I still am confused by the space argument... Like do you guys live in an outhouse or something? I think that argument really just applies to Tokyo and NYC just about anywhere else in the world keeping 10 consoles hooked up to a TV really isn't a nightmare (a messy pain but nonetheless doable) even then with some…

Umm alright, when did you try this?

Irrelevant these days, since they can just patch the game. The game has definitely gone gold and been printed already.

I know we were ragging on Alienware for this one, but I can't help but be impressed by their designs footprint.

No, it's what normal people call a bag with promotional stuff/samples in it.

...USA I gots... 150mb/s

West Point Bridge designer? I messed around with that a lot in high school and middle school.

You just have to pick correctly, I've backed many projects and while they don't always deliver 100% they did their due diligence in trying to bring something to market.

FUTURE

Set the color on your TV to zero, done. Also the game itself has color saturation settings iirc.

Yeah, MS even kept XBL for the OG Xbox going for a long time.

I'd wait, the PC version is fucking fantastic.

With MS using Azure to dynamically adjust servers I don't think there is really a REASON to totally shut game servers down from a cost perspective.

2 of the 3 are just called being an adult, third one... Kotaku (.com) is a US based blog so that's what they concentrate on.
