But the additional content is almost entirely stuff ripped from the existing game files, or stuff created wholecloth from Obsidian’s Q&As about the development, and it was all stuff organized and implimented by fans. Aspyr didn’t actually create, or package any of the content.

Star Wars has a huge cargo cult problem where all the following works are huge retreads of the Original Trilogy (‘look guys, the (remnants of the) Empire have constructed a massive planet-destroying space weapon!!! But this time it is a cylinder instead of a sphere, hopefully a promising young person who is strong in…

The writing and characters are so much smarter than KotOR1 (and augh, don’t even bring up TOR). It’s probably one of the most thoughtfully written pieces of Star Wars fiction in any medium, game, movie, book or comic.

But in the final game, Momochi crushed him in the first bout of that game, like super fast. Then in the second bout, Momochi’s stick caused a pause in the first 3 seconds. The bout was given to Gamerbee. Third bout, Momochi crushed him real fast. If anyone had momentum at the moment of the pause, it was Momochi.…

The Old Republic originally had it’s own network of accounts, then those all got converted to Origin or something. Between all the different stuff they did, I have three accounts with EA now, with various games (including DAO and DA2 being on different accounts) and if I want to merge them, there’s a good chance it…

It’s really frustrating because I also had like a different account for Dragon Age Origins, and one for The Old Republic, and one for the rest of Origin, and then TOR accounts became Origin accounts, etc. etc. Basically all this time of them trying to sort out their account structuring left me with a tangled mess.

BBC and a lot of other agencies still use Mr. Obama for other mentions though. It’s totally fine - especially for a comment on a blog post.

My Fiona shot Felix, for that totally shitty betrayal. I didn’t buy the ‘I’m teaching you a lesson about not trusting anyone!! I’m betraying you to help you!!’ shit. After having Fiona shoot Felix, I felt like I couldn’t deny Athena her revenge - especially when she put it like ‘what if they’d had you kill your…

Mr. Obama. Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, etc. is a perfectly valid way of referring to the POTUS, and is even standard in a lot of style sheets for a second reference. This isn’t even a column, it’s a comment on a blog post. The guy was talking about ‘Mr. Obama’s presidency’ and so saying that rather than ‘President Obama’s…

The problem is that motion controls are imprecise, and exagerrated and inefficient. Mice, keyboards, controllers, remotes, button presses, keypads. All of those have very certain and fast responses to input, that can be repeated over and over with minimal effort.

No, motion controls were a fad because they were imprecise and inefficient and thus really only suited to gimmicks. It was always a problem, and it was a problem that folks wrote about before Wii and Kinect even came along. Controllers and keyboards and mice are tools, and they’re efficient, and most of all, they…

I was pretty worried about the open world aspect because for me, part of the power of Mirror’s Edge is the momentum you described. The game is about movement. And when you are doing well, when you’re good at the game, it feels cool and breezy to dash through areas, nimbly navigating obstacles. That part is key: it…

Nah, sorry, payday loans aren’t some equal opportunity ‘caveat emptor’ financial hazard that folks have perfect clarity to avoid, something everyone perfectly understands the hazards of and ‘doesn’t need some rich liberal to condescend to them.’ You’re being ridiculously generous. ‘Predatory’ is a word that maybe…

Chuck Todd is a worthless hack who loves politics as a sport about handshaking and poll numbers, and as a ‘fun fact’ history hobby, but is allergic to context and consequence and impact for the politics he’s spent most of his life wallowing in. The guy is a toad, and is the poster child for worthless, intellectually…

That Israel piece is pretty embarrassing, even with the CYA bit at the end about Palestinian LGBT folk.

In this case, it was because the parent forum (Something Awful) started putting random members in charge of the forum as a joke, like, haha, because they saw LF as being ‘too serious’. (it was before the term ‘SJW’ was created, but basically they considered LF as ‘full of SJWs’) This resulted in those random outsiders…

idk if i could even go back if i wanted... it was a different time then....

It was funny seeing him all over the news today, I haven’t kept in touch with many LFers since the collapse, though I still run into them around parts of the internet.

Haha, HenryKrinkle is an old friend of mine, hilarious seeing him all over the internet today.

Yeah, this entire post is written from Yannick’s perspective as a guy who posts like two HotS articles a day. He has no background in DotA (some in LoL), and his lack of context is really illustrated with a post like this.
