There's a Ford F150 in the Online Collector's Garage this week iirc (or at least there was yesterday anyway). But yeah, for the pickup trucks, they're all standard and you just gotta wait till they show up. They tend to throw them into the Online Collector's Garage on a pretty regular basis to make sure that there's one available on a regular basis, same as how they've done the Formula GT.

Joystiq, Eurogamer, Destructoid and RPS are the only gaming sites I've got added to my Pulse RSS reader, so those are my 4. But since I've got the Joystiq feed on a frontpage widget on my phone, that's my main one. But I'm also a huge fan of Giant Bomb's video presentations. Just that doesn't translate too well when viewing on a phone RSS reader.

As far as I know, Genesis A.D. is still on the market (name self-explanatory), as is VICE64 (Commodore 64) and Marvin (ZX Spectrum). GBC A.D. was there too within the last month, but again, not sure on its current status.

http://kotaku.com/5821598/fake-british-game-designer-is-the-funniest-twitter-youre-not-reading Because a parody Twitter account's news-worthy, right (He's talking about @PeterMolyDeux btw)? Does CBS write articles about @NotGusJohnson and CBC write stories on @DonCherryParody? I think not.

Agreed, a friend of mine had a 3-player I was in on the other night, brand new world. Within the first hour, the host, who'd gone into the multiplayer blind with no new weapons/armour, had found a Demon Altar and managed to dig down as far as an underground Corruption. It was awesome seeing all 3 of us bricking it when surround by all these Eater of Souls underground and suddenly this giant worm comes in and treble-kills us. Unfortunately the game doesn't have dedicated servers per-sé but if someone nominated themselves as a host and set up a separate world for dedicated multiplayer, that would work.

Crecente's the accuser though, not Johnson. That's the thing. Joel's just a messenger that got caught in the non-crossfire yet he's the one that's seemingly getting teabagged by all of us. I'm no Kotaku white knight coming in to defend him or anything like that, just that everything just seems very off about the whole thing and if we hear his side of the story, we'd have a better sense of where we're at with who's pointing what finger and at who.

That's a bit weird. I picked it up in the sale too and I'm enjoying the hell out of it tbh. Kinda surprised nobody on my friendlist took a dip on it. Seems fun, but I've only played ~30 minutes of it so far in a quick blast.

Even if he was waiting for validation and lost the activation e-mail, couldn't he have asked Dean to just delve into the admin control panel to manually approve him? Kinda seems lazy to say "I tried signing up, but got no activation message. Guess I'll not bother then, ho hum" and just walk away. Surely a fellow webmaster would be aware that an admin (or mod with certain priviledges) could approve his account regardless of activation mail, just as star commenters have done for "pinks" on Gawker for god-knows-how-long now. On that note, I kinda do want him to post here at least once. Even if he did ban me on Gizmodo a few months back after that infamous rant (admittedly, I did have it coming after what I'd said), it seems kinda wrong to instantly villify him just for breaking contact. Now that the community here has his attention, and vice versa, let's at least hear him out and let him address us en masse about the whole issue.

Coming to a sum total of... €35.09 Not bad at all, I gotta say.

This is made more funny and illogical considering both were commenters at the same time, more often than not in the same threads, and that Dean's avatar at the time was a Black Mage. Crecente plays videogames for a living. If he seriously mixed up a White Mage and a Black Mage, there's something genuinely wrong here.

It was 10% off before the sale, but iirc it was 33% off during the sale (don't quote me on that, I'm probably wrong)... It's still a good price for it at 50% off, no doubt, but they probably saw the insane number of folks getting the 4 pack for an even more ridiculously lower price again and said "fuck it, let's cut our losses and hike it up again". EDIT: STEAM DONE GOOFED. Dev comment on Reddit says that it was always supposed to be 50%

I'm possibly going off-topic here a bit, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it was Eidos that published the Final Fantasy 7/8 PC ports, right? With them now being merged into and becoming Square Enix Europe, surely that should make a PC re-release easier to green-light, not harder? Unless they had an external studio working on it too and they got merged into some rival company and still have a contract that says they get x% of sales revenue?

Bumping to ask is there any particular server you guys are on? Oh yeah, I'm jayc4life btw.

I play a bit of guitar, but that's about it.

Seeing as the SNES pad was the first one to technically get it "right" and set a sort of standard for almost every other controller layout since, I think it has to take the prize.

FUCK. YEAH. Bad Robot making M:I 4.

Yeah, that kinda logic makes more sense too. I'm usually a "buy at launch" person anyway, so I rarely ever buy used if I can help it. I haven't traded in a game since I traded in Far Cry 2 and Infamous towards the end of last year. The amount you get back from them just isn't worth it, and I kinda want a good gaming library that I want to look back on, and be able to play whenever I want, as opposed to looking for a good game and thinking "Oh, I traded it in. Drat.". It's still very much a double edged sword, no matter which way we look at it, we're always going to be wrong, and there's always going to be some way the system will shaft us.

That Capcom one really sucks. I mean, Jesus... imagine if Pokemon ever implemented that. Nintendo'd have a mutiny of gamers on their hands. With the economy the way it is though, and not exactly rivers of cash flowing abundantly, the used game market's more important than ever, because it gives gamers back the money they need to invest in new games. Sure, publishers will see absolutely zilch from the used sales (barring maybe the couple of quid the Online Pass (if any) costs) but if by trading in, gamers are able to get new games instead of passing on ones that maybe they couldn't afford before trading in was even an option, publishers should perhaps think twice about their full-scale war over used sales. Do you think the boatbuilders are sharking Stan for selling used traded-in boats? Probably not, if it means people can use the trade-in to buy an all new ship. Especially if he's as enthusiastic as this when making his pitches.

I approve of this idea. I've got Mass Effect 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Pokemon Black, Final Fantasy 13 and pretty much every PSN Welcome Back game (although I do have to re-do WipEout HD/Fury and LittleBigPlanet technically because my save was on my old broke PS3 and I couldn't transfer it.) And Dead Rising 2 if I pick that up in town tomorrow, I played it at a friend's a while back and it was pretty awesome. I'd have gotten it sooner only there was no demo, and I didn't fancy dipping in on an untried game. I'd count GT5, but I have to do a serious amount of grinding to get the 24-hour endurance races unlocked, and.. nothankyou.jpg.

Holy thread revive, Batman!

I played Europa Universalis 3. It's awesome. It's also for sale on Steam for €7.50. DO IT.

Unfortunately for them, parody, unless mentioned in the same sentence as Al Yankovic or Leslie Nielsen, usually isn't good. See: almost every "Genre" Movie movie ever created.

Oh wow. Now their PR company in America apparently called out reviewers for giving it a bad score. *grabs popcorn*
