deanbmvv I'm pretty open for any time. So you americans sort it out. Also you can argue over who gets me (Since that was brought up last week)

So did this happen? I got into LoL last night. Shame there's only 2 maps. I'm only on Vs AI Beginner atm but I'd be up for joining in. Also I fucked up inputting my name I've being playing as Veigar. May buy him (with IP)

Wow that's both shitty to the women and like a huge WTF to Gizmodo. Gizmodo the Go-on-Date guide? That john finkel one must have been really popular if they're doing it again. I guess they weren't able to afford the iPhone 5 this time around?

Now this looks pretty fun. Though also seems like all the jokes are in the trailer.

The lack of Steam overlay is a game breaker for me. (And I use Trillain so those other examples are moot). Yes I can look at the Steam chat window in another monitor(which not everyone has btw) except I'm limited to a single tab of half a dozen. And since there's no way to run it as a non-steam game it means people messaging me just see me as online and ignoring them. I can't show that I'm playing a game (Without my old 'hacks' for Episode 3 beta, which shouldn't be needed) and I can't reply without completely leaving the game either. If battlelog works better than the BC2 server browser (I've only done the beta of BC2 n can't remember much tbh) then the BC2 server browser must have been utter wank. There is absolutely zero reason on why you would put the game launcher and server browser on a website. It adds extra point of failures, requires unnecessary browser plug-ins and adds nothing of value to the game. Battlelog as a stat site is nice n nifty. As a game launcher and server browser? it's a horrible idea. Site goes down? Can't play. Change server? Leave the game. I don't even know why the game requires Origin when it does nothing either. Everything just strikes me as using the BF3 game to push stuff like Battlelog and Origin at the expense of gaming convenience. I can still, and will, treat it as a feature complete. The "your beta driver we made you download is out of date" yeah I'll put that down as a bug (albeit one still not fixed from Alpha, not looking good). Battlelog to launch games? Not using Origin friend lists? No external settings editor? That's features and nothing to do with beta or alpha status.

Origin has a chat system, it however isn't attached to the Steam community so it's pretty sucky/useless in that regard. Also it's a beta, which means feature complete with a few bugs. It's going to be exactly like this come launch unless they do some major overhauling, but as it's being a constant complaint since Alpha and DICE are still sticking to their guns on having it launch from a browser I doubt they're going to change it any time soon. When you're bigging up your game on PC it really shouldn't require community fixes for something as simple as editing the game settings. edit: Forgot to add in regards to the update: You can't actually get it yet. Hoorah. And from what I can tell there's no auto-update system in Origin anyway.

Someone posted the article to r/gaming. The OPs response:

Steam chat isn't in a browser. As for the glare I'm just hoping that at the very least there's some kind of upgrade to stick an anti-glare snope on cos I'm not up for being a lighthouse in the bushes. To add/augment Yantes request: At the very least some kind of external menu for options like what Bioware have. edit: Well here's a new one. The website produces "Generic Error 1" which a fish about in the forum reveals it's because there's an update out. Now if the client was used to launch the game then it could update the game before launching. However because a website is used it can do no such thing, thus chucking out a rather unhelpful error.

The laser thing is done so poorly. Maybe if and only if it flashed you extremely briefly when their cursor was actually over your head it'd be acceptable but it seems like if they even look in your general direction you're blind for 30 seconds and the game I played seemed like everyone on the other team had laser sights for this reason. I suppose this will be balanced though. Given how precise you'd need to be, yeah the laser blinding is a fair bit annoying. Flashlight does make sense, but laser would be a no. Not saying the glare from scopes is blinding, just that it's so much that it looks like someone is shining a torch. It also seems to happen no matter what, not like with an IRL glare that'd be from when you're at the right angle to the sun. Also I'm pretty sure (I'm not a firearms expert though so) that you can cancel the glare on modern scopes. And when Origin gets steam chat, then yeah it'll be useful. The usual: Options>Controls Hmm. I'll have to look again.

Where's the setting for that? Yes "old school". Not always for the best when your meant to be a top of the line shooter in 2011. The comparisons to shitty MMOs and stuff like Hamachi is pretty on target and that's not good news. The browser has nothing to do with the game being alt-tab friendly and many games are alt-tab friendly anyway. Of course alt-tabbing in the middle of a few second spawn isn't really desirable when the alternative could be hitting shift-tab and remaining in-game. It also shrinks the game back up each time you're alt-tabbing, which means the game, even when "full-screen", is probably windowed-no-borders. Which would explain some of the lag others are having cos running windowed tends to add a performance hit some of us could probably do without. It's a really shitty solution. There's no two ways about it. Also the blindness by laser may explain one of the deaths I had. That is pretty fucking unfair. Also I'm unsure but is it glare off scopes, or are people walking around with flashlights on in the middle of the day? Both are pretty stupid, even if it gives me easy kills. Though I'm worried that if it's glare, then me sniping is like I've got a fog light on the front of my gun which would make me equally easy to kill too.

No setting to toggle for crouch The game is still shooting itself in the foot from Alpha. The server browser just makes the entire experience an utter nightmare and won't be winning any favours. Also the pretty much forced AFK when alt+ enter to go full screen is pretty annoying and lead to a fair few deaths too. (I assume that'll be fixed sharpish since it seems to be a bug than a technically on purpose thing that you can't do it until you've deployed without crashing) Also because of the way it launches you can't add it to Steam for the overlay so that's pretty much a bugger. (And it does make you wonder a bit on why they've got the game launching the way it does given recent events regarding EA n Steam) edit: Also it doesn't seem to like the graphics drivers that it makes you install too. Despite being the newest available (they're beta drivers for a beta game) they're still outdated as far as BF3 is concerned, and tells you every time you launch the game.

I see the Beta is just as AWESOME as the Alpha. I currently have an award for Rush or whatever. I've yet to actually play. (Also came with 400 points to my rank) It's still (like the Alpha) complaining on outdated drivers despite the fact that there's actually specially crafted drivers just for the BF3 beta. And of course it's still running through all the awesome pile of wank and shit that is battlelog. I'm currently listening to the sound of birds. BF3 is happily chowing down on a few hundred megs of RAM while....oh and it stopped... not actually running.

Amazons App Store isn't exactly short of games. In fact as far as I'm aware they have a fair few exclusive games to themselves.

http://dl.dropbox.co...ningsansokan.7z The court papers for anyone interested. Some is Swedish, some is English. From what I can gather the juicy important bits are all in Swedish. the 10MB PDF (Bilaga 4) is the one I think where it was mentioned they're presenting the sarcastic comments of people purposefully confusing Scrolls n Skyrim and Mojang n Bethesda as evidence of confusion. Also Skyrim is the 14th Elder Scrolls game? Oh here's the torrent/magnet link from Notch himself in case you don't want to destroy my dropbox allowance: http://t.co/f1tuWMJF edit: Nope it's Bilaga 19. Bilaga 4 may have similar comments too, but Bilaga 19 is from Joystiq so you can easily read it. Another one of the documents is a print out of the Warcraft Wikipedia article. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/08/minecon-attendees-get-alpha-codes-for-cobalt-scrolls/ The first comment and it's replies.

Technically if you got all those games, then you gave more than most other people.

Yeah if you don't give two shits about owning a tablet (I'm rather happy with my Netbook as it is, though since Fire is US only I don't have much choice) then it won't matter to you either way. But if folks are interested in tablets then this should give a fair bit of shaking up in the market.

He's using the English/cockney VA. I kinda went with a "English Joker" kinda look. Didn't iam for it but it kinda evolved early on. And spraying shit over buildings seemed to fit it too

http://en.thewitcher.com/patch2/ Witcher 2 2.0 is now out. Adds Arena, Tutorial, and extra difficulty level.

SUMME-RBLOW-OUT25 http://www.greenmangaming.com/ 25% off everything. (Single use, so buy in bulk if you're wanting more than one game) Witcher 2 is now also $30 on GoG. http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/the_witcher_2/

What point? DICE är ett svenskt företag, tror jag att de skulle föredra svenska än engelska. It's pure ignorance at best to think that Europeans don't know English either.
