They really have done great job with it. And if they managed to target it better, and maintain better communication; they'd have a bigger hit on their hands. Unfortunately, terrible online support, incompetent patching, and fairly lacking community interaction has left it a good game, and bigger then it should be. But…

It appeals to different player types. eu4 is considered a map painting game, where the point is purely to expand. To get your empire as large as possible through multiple viable ways (Economy, diplomacy, military, colonization). It's something you can do in ck2, but the systems are generally designed to punish that…

id rather a great game a year later. Some products simply can't / won't be fixed with post launch care leaving it in the hands of the fundamental; but by then the damage is done and the title has faded into a niche. Arcanum, kotor 2, vampire the masquerade as examples.

Best part is that the cube wasn't even his. It was someone else's, so free money for the hours.

Just gunna throw this out there, the boobs probably help. Quite a few of the cosplays I've seen for this don't quite match that; and as sad and perverted as it sounds, that's surprisingly relevant.

Hate speech in many parts of the world is not protected speech. It's something many people fail to realize because of the pervasiveness of American Free speech; but after World War II, a lot of countries learned their lesson about allowing bigoted, racist, and hate-filled speech be allowed/protected.

Did you read the entire article, or just that one part? He quite clearly states he's attempted to communicate with his girlfriend, to discuss his qualms, and largely get's made to feel the bad guy; that the GF uses it as an opportunity to go on the offensive/to hurt him.

It's actually kind of facinating in that neither can really afford to alienate the other. With the U.S. being the largest buying economy in the world, any hostile actions by the Chinese government economically, would basically devastate their own economy to the point of wiping themselves out.

That's not true, brain age was their last new ip in 2005. Not a huge series, but it was new and received multiple games. There's also new paintball shooter coming out.

I do have to note you didn't mention one of the best parts of the entire game:

The music. When I got it, and they gave me a digital copy of the soundtrack, i was more then a little "meh" on that part of it. But once I started actually playing the game, and listening to the music, holy shit; it's a party of my gaming…

"'I will bring myself sexual pleasure later, while thinking about this with great respect'"

After watching it, it feels very much like an appeal to their base audience. And based off conversations with friends and my friend-list, honestly seems to be feeling a bit alienated by the company in recent times.

Learn to not be a dick :). No one likes a grammar nazi.

To anyone who watches the "Francis" videos from boogie that Kotaku likes to link occasionally; this guy seriously channels the behaviour, and even manages the same style of fuck and rage.

Isn't this the third? Star Trek, Avatar, and now GotG? Or am I confusing actresses?

Did anyone else do a double take on the play button on the youtube pokeball?

This, very much, is a piece that should have been run on Jezebel (A site I also frequent at times). CAH may have started in a nerdy pass time, but it itself is fairly mainstream at this point, so at absolute best, the point was tangential to the sites theme of Geekdom.

And let's be realistic, the original article came…

My main complaint about the entire article is that it comes off as some SJW's tumblr post. If I wanted that, I'd go to tumblr. I am a 6"4, fairly fit, white male who suffered from physical abuse from a girlfriend, who was more then a foot shorter then me. Know what happened when I tried telling people? She found out,…

Neither. I have something like 2500 hours logged on League. Only a few hundred on Dota/Dota2, and the biggest problem with them is that they both have HUGE ass rosters, enormous item pools, and alot of knowledge required, OUTSIDE of learning basic mechanics like last hitting, harassing, and denial (XP/Gold denial via…

I have a white d20 that averages similarly. Crits 4-5 times per 3 hour session, and rarely goes below 14. Yet when I lend it out... Nothing above 10.
