It's still something, man.

Thank god there's actual conversations now. And they don't take place in an awkward first-person staredown anymore either. Fantastic.

Jesus, he's not even out yet and Ryu already sounds overpowered as fuck. Multiple regular attacks based on pressure sensitivity? TWO final smashes? Command inputs? He's getting all this shit no other character has.

Oh boy. Ryu. It's not like he wasn't already in EVERY SINGLE FIGHTING GAME EVER.

So this isn't part of the DC Cinematic Universe proper, but Bruce Timm is back on board for another DCAU movie and it looks great based on the promos so far.

To say that games are a service actually implies that there's...well, service involved, and the only games that I think even come close to fitting that definition are MMORPGs. I don't count DLC as part of a service because most of the time you have to pay extra for it. As for patches, developers are under no obligation whatsoever to ever release a single patch once a game is out, and if they do so it's either because they want to keep their customers playing longer or because something about their game was so broken that it was running the risk of affecting their sales. If games really were a service, they would be expected to release patches regularly, and you would be entitled to your money back if they failed to uphold their end of the bargain, even before steam officially pulled the trigger on it. I see games as a good, albeit a good you don't fully "own" in a legal sense, which has certainly caused some issues regarding used games that I hope we don't see again. On a separate point, I think this idea that's been proposed of "letting developers opt out of refunds" is utterly laughable. If developers could just decide not to give refunds, then how would we be any better off than we were before? Any major developer (DICE, Ubisoft) could just knowingly release a buggy, broken piece of shit like they always do and then say "Sorry! No refunds!" I absolutely oppose giving any developer special treatment. Everyone should have to take the same medicine. Regarding the matter of finding the right price point for short games, there really isn't a single magic number that works across the board. These developers really just need to use their best judgment to decide, realistically, how much the experience they provide is really worth. I couldn't say where the sweet spot is, but I do know that charging 20 dollars for a 90 minute vignette like Gone Home is practically an insult. I would feel ripped off as all hell if I paid 20 dollars for that game.

Total Biscuit pretty much sums up my opinion of this whole "Wahh steam refunds hurt indie devs" controversy. I have no sympathy for these people who want to release games that are under two hours and then overcharge for them. You can return practically every other kind of product there is for a refund if it turns out to be a piece of crap, and I don't see why PC games should be a special exception to that rule. If you want to release a short game, make it a good one and price it right. No more free rides for shitty developers.

My XCOM experience.

Ethan, you're a cool guy and all, but if there's ever a vote on whether or not to turn Kansas into scorched earth I'm going to have to vote yes. I hope you understand.

He was trying to do crowdfunding for a shit sequel to his shit movie which was basically the film equivalent of Hatred. He tried Indiegogo and failed miserably there, then he tried Kickstarter and failed miserably there as well. Then he filmed himself throwing a huge bitch fit and quit Hollywood.

Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, loser.

It's a serious problem.

I think it's because the squids evolved to be made of ink once they started living on land, so they dissolve in water or something like that.

What are you upgrading from? I think the S5 still lets you use SD cards.

Apparently there's some rumor floating around from a leak 11 months back that you can only play as a male character in Fallout 4 for story reasons. This leak came from someone who was fired from Bethesda for a script leak he did beforehand. I gotta say, I have a hard time believing Bethesda would go this route, especially in this political climate. Not only has every other open-world game they've made so far had a female option, but they would get crucified by the gaming press if this were true.

The amiibos, as I understand it, unlock three timed challenge courses that unlock exclusive gear if you beat them. It's not a huge loss, but I won't deny that it's still pretty shitty to lock it behind figurines that are so hard to get ahold of. I wouldn't let the amiibos be a deterrent to playing the rest of the game, though. It's more than worth it.

Holy crap.

I ended up going with the Galaxy S6 32 GB in the gold color (which really looks more like chrome than gold). On another note, does anyone recommend any specific apps for the purpose of finding, locking, or wiping a lost phone? There's a lot to choose from here and there doesn't seem to be any consensus on which one is the best.

Okay this was a weird solution. I transferred the old tapatalk app from my old phone to my new phone, but apparently there's a new tapatalk app with the same name as the old one, only it's different. So I had to download tapatalk, then delete tapatalk, then I could find the forum.

Yeah, they recently added two new maps, a new gun, and a new game mode. They also unlocked ranked matches.

I'm having trouble finding this forum with the tapatalk app on my new phone. I've tried searching for Press X, PXOD, and X-talk but it never comes back with anything. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

I upgraded to a hybrid drive a while back and I don't recall having any problems with it.

Japan is getting free Squid Girl DLC. Man I hope that makes it across the pond.
