Devs have said that they like to play around with a controller setup and the possibility of it being on Xbox is still there if they can figure it out.

No, HD still works fine.   Still plenty of people playing on there, as a large contingent of the huge playerbase doesn’t have the hardware to run the new one.  

Rich: I’m not really of the opinion that famous people are entitled to more fame and money. I don’t really know if Taylor Swift should have a clothing line or hedge fund in her name? There’s some assumption in this song that men aren’t criticized. Quite the contrary, especially in a MeToo era! I don’t think Justin…

I94 was only completed in ‘68, and had integrated stretches of two-lane embankment style roads at points back then, not to mention the I90 portions and the lower safe speeds of cars back then.  Any snow definitely pushes it past the 5 hours and change you’ve got today.  

No, four new civs (Lithuanians, Tartars, Cumans, Bulgarians). All civs from the expansions since 2013 (Rise of the Rajas, The Forgotten, African Kingdoms) are in the game as well.

Man, Neil Cicierega has got to be one of the sneakiest influencers of internet culture. Basically nobody knows his name, but almost everyone on the internet knows his work. Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Potter Puppet Pals, the Windows 95 memes, the mix of Imagine and All-Star... The Lemon Demon albums are…

*gets hit on head by mallet 33 times*

They’ve confirmed it will be on Steam as well.  The insider Beta requires a linkup to Steam, and there’s a discount on the game for having AOE2HD, which is only on Steam.  

St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves: Stories. I like the introduction to her style, plus one of the short stories eventually connects and builds into Swamplandia!, which is also great.  

You should challenge her, saying “I hear you are unpatriotic. Surely you won’t post a picture of yourself with your hand over your heart for the flag?”
 

Are you from Oregon? I think that’s the only place opossums are considered invasive in the US; they’ve lived on the east coast and in the midwest US for literally thousands of years and are considered native species. There’s also good evidence that shows opossum populations are very effective at hunting down…

I mean, Capra made Mr. Potter into an evil banker, and it synced up enough with his views on the banking industry and capitalism as a whole that he was investigated by HUAC, so I’d say he intended to offend someone.

I don’t think it’s out of the question for the police to investigate someone parked across two handicap spots, given that it’s a way that people rob stores. Six crews is excessive. The moment they figured out that he wasn’t robbing the store (uh, pretty apparent when they see the people dealing with him like a normal…

I know that Pussy Riot is a bit of a collective - is this particular tour including Maria Alyokhina, who was/is dating a pretty far right religious nutso that destroys artwork for offending him?

It’s obviously not a very good excuse for police brutality, but people like to rob Walgreens stores in Milwaukee, and they often park across two handicap spots for easy getaway.

:shrug:

I start a new game, make a little progress, but then Skyrim steps up and whispers “Let’s go kill some fucking dragons” in my ear.

Formations CAN make a difference, but mostly in high-level play. Mangonels are often used to counter massed mid-age archers, which do better in group formation. The AOE effect of mangonel shots obviously puts a damper on this; you can either run “scattered formation”, limiting the number of units hit, or you can micro…

They actually explain away language differences as the Animus doing an auto-translate.

The roar really sells it.

Holy shit, someone else who played Creatures! That game was fucking brutal; I remember raising some pretty dang smart ones, then a Grendel rolling in and straight up beating them all to death.

Also, the Internet Edition was amazing because you’d get all sorts of visitors.
