To be fair, there’s also inflation to take into account.

Hi Ubisoft. I don’t even bother to buy Activision games even if they’re getting ripped off. Outside of blizzard shit, stupid blizzard.

A fair bit of their product is officially sourced. The remainder is bought from 3rd party key-retailers that were legitimately obtained from the company. There was an issue of one of the sources being an issue a few months ago, but GMG went through and overhauled their key obtaining process, as well as forming more…

Actually, depending on what DLC you have, Ireland has gone from a newbie haven... to hell. The tribal stuff from Horselords made most of ireland into tribal counties, which has HUGE impact on how the game plays, and is basically hardmode next to Scotland and England :P

Interestingly, yes, the broad strokes aren’t very unique because it’s largely a theme that’s been done repeatedly. The specifics however strike me as overly co-incidental; the nearly identical room design, the hatwearing robot hookup, the philosophizing robots asking incredibly similar questions. Those are things that…

Worst part is that, outside of the pokemon IP, this actually looks more interesting to me. ACTUAL combat using your hard earned monsters? Sign me up.

Holy shit, I just realized with your comment why Pokemon GO feels so familiar, and why its so popular: ITS THE EVOLUTION TO POKEMON SNAP! We got our long sought after sequel in spirit! (You wander area’s, you throw things at stuff in order to accomplish stuff, and you dont fight at all with the pokemon you “capture”.…

Given the joy nintendo gave me as a kid, and the fact that their games are still generally really enjoyable, I am sincerely hoping that the NX has some awesome features. I mean, the comment about being afraid of copycats or leaks definitely lends credence to the idea that nintendo is going into *another* facet of…

Sat and read the whole backlog today. fantastic series. Seconded

The Epic of Lolly the Spiderling:

This movie was significantly better then I had anticipated. Went with the wife who has zero knowledge of anything warcraft oriented. Took her 15-20 minutes to kind of “get it”, and after that point she loved it. The actor playing Medivh pissed her off as his constant sibilant whispers made him hard to hear, and…

While working in a franchise dealership I’ve some people screw over their PARENTS for a better commission. Some sales people have absolutely no shame or conscience.

The thing I think disappoints me the most about the series is that they really found a cast who could carry the torch. Chris Pine does a pretty damn good Kirk, Zachary Quinto is a solid Spock, Karl Urban is fantastic in everything, and a great young bones.

It’s funny considering a great deal of the people who’ve seen it have it placed at a solid 5/10 at worst. Not a spectacular movie, but at the same time, not atrocious by any means. Definitely some places where you can see the budget was not sufficient, and some weakness in dialogue in a few places; but overall a solid…

About the same time americans realize how many of their teams are crewed by non-americans. Welcome to sports!

I specifically came onto this list to look for Stellaris. I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a game launch.

This is a good policy. Let those who preorder get it without kneecapping those who buy after reviews. Also suggests confidence in the product which is always nice.

Nope. He was in power early 2006. At which point the oil prices were doing WELL, at 60-75$ a barrel. Back in those days, it was a cost of 40-50$ a barrel for production alone, which meant that yes, the oil prices were nice, but they weren’t a huge contributor to the national GDP. (It wasn’t until Harper pushed various…

He’s just not as sleazy (I say this as a lover of star trek and Shatner). Honestly, outside the terrible movies, I actually love Chris Pine as Kirk, he’s a different version of him, but I feel that’s okay, he comes off as less overtly sleazy, it’s mostly implied :P

It’s a reason I recommend Path of Exile wholeheartedly. Nothing in the game requires payments, though there are a few convenience features you can buy (Extra stash tabs). There really aren’t many companies that do F2P well, but GGG, Riot (largely, but I’m speaking as a player since season 1) and a few others are good.
