  1. Here's hoping they get put on Origin and make EA look stupid.
  2. I think it's just amazing that gaming has changed so much that a game being challenging is actually a selling point, a marketing ploy, and something that will sell copies. Other than that, I'll probably play it. I mean, it's pretty much just the hardest difficulty, and if I like games enough I usually try playing them on the hardest difficulty.
  3. I have a feeling I'd use it a lot more if it didn't require a different Steam guard code every time I login.
  4. Steam mobile is better designed and more stable than Steam desktop. 0_o

      More stable, yes.

      Better designed? I wouldn't say so yet. It has a few problems.

       

      My main annoyance is that it doesn't recognize the return button on physical keyboard phones as "send."

      Also, it doesn't convert url's to links and there seems to be no way to clear users from the "recent chats" list.

      And I wish the default action when touching a contact was "start chat." Profile should be a long press or something.

      Clear your chat history with them.

  5. First thing that comes to mind is a Videogum type of thing. Either way, I think it's a great idea and I'd be happy to get involved. Now all that needs to happen is for Excel to make this game so it can be reviewed 10s across the board. Edit: Spelling.
  6. It's a mousepad. I couldn't be more excited. In all honesty, it works well, is gigantic, and only cost 10 bucks. I'm now having trouble fitting my keyboard, mic, mouse, and MPD26 on my desk, though, so I may need to rearrange some stuff.
  7. I thought Ethan had some good suggestions with BF3 and Crysis 2. Yeah, they might be on console (like the Witcher 2 is soon to be), but they both look fantastic on PC and can bring a good PC to its knees. They're also two games whose graphical prowess has been marketed and talked up heaving by both EA and the internet. RAGE could be another choice there, even though it was on consoles. Yeah, maybe those games are on consoles already, but I still think they'd get some gasps out of any crowd showing Crysis 2, The Witcher 2, Battlefield 3, or RAGE on any sort of Wii. They all look pretty fantastic.
  8. I'd be interested in this type of thing, and I think I'm an okay writer. One question, though, when you say "The Onion of Gaming" do you mean satirical "Gaming journalism passes vote to be recognized as real journalism" type of stuff or more like stuff from the Onion AV club, which is definitely a little more serious than the regular Onion? Either way, it's a funny idea, and I'm interested either way.
  9. That article is so dumb. I mean, I personally think that's great that their commenting TOS is carrying over to their writers as well, as fair is fair, but writing an article like that accomplishes nothing and just serves as a blatant "look what I can do" dickwaggling. Diaz is a dick, though, so whatever. EDIT: Spelling.
  10. I actually liked MOH quite a bit. The story isn't so great, but I didn't think the gameplay was any worse than any other recent FPS. The multiplayer actually feels a lot better, though, enginewise. It actually feels a lot like team deathmatch in Battlefield 3, which kind of makes me laugh.
  11. Bastion. Bought it on launch, for some reason stopped 2 levels away from the end a few weeks ago and just finished it up today. It's good, really good, but I'm sure you all know that already. It is one of those games for me, though, like Portal 2, where I don't really have any desire to go and replay it, though. I will eventually to see the other ending, but probably not anytime soon.
  12. Speedtest says my internet is slower than 89% of the US. Go ahead, rub it in Speedtest.

      Did you try a few servers? By default, they always connect me to one that only has about 1/3 the capacity of my home connection.

      That's handy, though it only works if people on your connection use Youtube regularly.

  13. I got 27 and raged so hard at the end. I bet the one I missed was right in front of my eyes...
  14. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/experienced-points/9359-Dear-Origin-You-Stink Worth a read.
  15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqZsWRqz14k That just makes me think of this cover of that song.
  16. Yeah, definitely good to have that. After seeing all the other "bans" like this going around recently it turns my kneejerk reaction into screaming "faaaaaake". Still, hrm. I'm still confused about why people post on the EA forums anyway, but that's a different story.
  17. That's fake, by the way. Still, not a good idea to post on those forums anyway. They're awful. EDIT: Just watched the video and went back to that reddit thread. Maybe not... Hrm.
  18. My iTunes library is now larger than 80GB, meaning it won't fit on my iPod anymore. Today is a sad day.

      You can stream your music from your pc to your ipod with itunes, you know.

      Wow, I've never come close to filling my 30GB iPod Video ...

  19. Tons of stuff on turntable.fm. If anybody else uses this, we should start up a PXOD room.
  20. I am such a sucker for nonfiction, and I do sort of admire Junger as a writer. Definitely lacking in "UHMERICA FUCK YEAH" compared to a lot of other Iraq books I've read.
  21. You are. It's a forum. Aren't we all?
  22. I found the game boring too, then I found Barbas the talking dog. Any game with talking dogs is a-ok in my book.
  23. Why a soundcard? Was your motherboard audio not working properly?
  24. All of my horses have died because I jumped them off high mountains...
