      Happy super belated birthday Alex Heat!

  2. I was doing another hassle hardcore mode run in Fallout New Vegas but after the game crashed in Boulder City every time I load my auto or quick saves it gets stuck forever on the loading screen. So I guess it's back to the Come Fly with Me quest I go. Ho hum. edit: my quick save finally loaded so now I can hardcore post-apoc walking simulator again \o/
  3. I like to think of it as Windows X...for XTREME!
  4. Had a customer on the phone get angry at me because I suggested that the reason he couldn't get his old Windows XP machine that was struggling to restart and open Google Chrome was the real reason he couldn't get his ethernet working and not his modem/router/ISP and tried to give me a lecture saying because I am a part of home networking support then its a networking issue so therefore its the modem/router/ISP. Or something like that. Logic that can only be stored safely in one's bum. But frankly that guy can stuff it. And so can Comcast. Today was my last day as a remote service technician for Support.com. I"M FREEEEEE

  6. Today is the day I thought Civ Beyond Earth was coming out but then I realized I was a month off and then I got sad.

      It will be twenty times awesomer than Destiny, I guarantee it.

  7. I just preordered Civilization: Beyond Earth instead of waiting about a month for it to be released because reasons. I regret nothing?
  8. I got Arma 2 + Op. Arrowhead on sale 'cause my brother wanted to play DayZ together. I also got Corporate Lifestyle Simulator (formerly known as "Zombies.") plus the soundtrack. Love dat soundtrack <3

      Every butt has a silver lining, especially when you're on butt nine?

  10. If they made a Christmas-themed DLC they could call it The Fest of US
  11. Gotham City Impostors did have some kind of broken DLC weapons (Witch Doctor shot around corners) where to get the Fun Fact that counters that weapon you had to have bought the DLC yourself. That wasn't very fun : (
  12. Yeah I did go off on a tangent didn't I...but seriously World of Tanks with Legs is bad mmkay
  13. Ah, Piranha Games (PGI) and Mechwarrior Online Not sure what possessed them to focus on emulating only the multiplayer aspect of Mechwarrior, which wasn't really that good, instead of creating an actual Mechwarrior successor with like a campaign and stuff. But hey, whatever gets you that World of Tanks (with legs) money. Might have been due to some of the legal fisticuffs between Harmony Gold (owners of Robotech/Macross) and the Battletech guys over some *cough* similar designs from back in the day. Who knows. Questionable design decisions aside, I believe most of the hate they've garnered is from community mismanagement. A lot of promises were made at the beginning and a lot of players spent money for the Founders program, which gave players some premium stuff but at a risk (kind of like Kickstarter). Some of that money was actually donated to charities. Other premium packs would come later. A noteable source of community piss and vinegar was the sudden addition of a 3rd person camera. The 3rd person camera had been an issue in previous Mechwarrior multiplayer games wherein players would use it to watch for other players while remaining hidden, then jump up and snipe at them. This was known to the community as "poptarting." Piranha promised at the beginning that there would only be a 1st person view. Then they added 3rd person without really announcing it, instead explaining their decision in a rambling "apology" forum post. The players who had already spent money on just had to deal with it. This type of community interaction appeared to be standard for other "design" decisions. It was like PGI began to ignore their community while asking players to BUY BUY BUY (see: $500 golden MadCat). tl;dr: PGI made a lot of money (5 million from Founders!) and silly choices and the giant internet robit community got mad
  14. Transformers 4: It has robits and explosions and super obvious product placements and Kelsey Grammer Fraiser. But seriously there was a scene where a Bud Light van crosses an intersection only to get crashed into by something and then there were those blue Bud Light bottles scattered everywhere. It wasn't very suble at all. Hasbro! I thought your prime directive was to sell toys, not advertise dirt water!
  15. I guess there wouldn't be a point in buying it all, but with the summer sale all the Train Sim '14 dlc still adds up to $1,698.39. How many TF2 hats could you buy with ~$1700?

      Worth it for all the train simulating.
