http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/07/papa-johns-obamacare-pizza_n_1752126.html I was thinking of this. Cutting hours is just a continuation of this bullshit.

Isn't this ancient news?

You're not dying as often because you played Demon's Souls. Also, Dark Souls is far less grindy. If you're running back to fill up your Estus you're doing it wrong since the enemies will just respawn. In Demon's Souls you could just farm grass and use that forever without having to worry. Also, enjoy Capra Demon and your broken controller.

I would assume they're quite pricy based on the ABV and how they're an anniversary edition. Barley Wines are the only things I ever see get that high and those are always quite expensive.

None of these are a good thing. Anyways, jesus, 13%? Firestone Walker has pretty good stuff so if it's still around when I have more cash I'll see if I can get it at my local specialty shop.

You're generalizing here. The satire isn't in the core storyline but in the world itself. Houser, who's writing the main storyline, doesn't want to do things like what is already being done. He wants things to be unique and fresh rather than borrowing what is going in with crime-related shows over the past 5-10 years. The satire outside of that will be coming from more than just him and that's only one tiny thing to worry about with satirizing American media.

I want to go digital because it seems so much easier and comics are quite the expensive hobby once you go into a shop and impulse buy something.

What are you listening to now?

Whoa, what an awesome collection of games, definitely getting this. Hopefully I'll have a tablet within the next few months to really enjoy some of these.

Worked for me in the US.

What the fuck is Old Navy doing sellin Wii U's?

The parties aren't supposed to check each other.

Did you format before installing?

Yeah it was $10 on release. Maybe same thing happened for the free weekend?

The issue here is that people wouldn't end up using it because it's new and different and they run away from change instead of just trying it out. @Fuchi for the tinfoil hat business - Do you think MS cutting off the desktop would ultimately benefit them? What if they lose enterprise to something else because of it? What if they lose gamers because of it? So far they haven't indicated that they want to cut either group out. Windows sells well because everyone buys it and not just certain groups. Which is why Win8 is trying to do so much at once. @Dean - You still don't get your own Android argument. On Android there is no software power button. You were trying to compare that to Windows 8 software button. On Windows 8 computers, you have a hardware power button, which is exactly what Android has. I said you're ignoring laptops because you're ignoring how they're interfaced with. Been over this a million times. Windows 8 on a laptop with a decent trackpad (and potentially even a touchscreen) is a lot different experience. Oh yeah, and I finally used Windows 8 on an all in one. I think the OS is actually fucking great for that and miles ahead of windows 7 as it's optimized for both ways of interaction. Your apple comparison is missing tablets and mobile. You have to remember that not everyone is using traditional computers to do shit anymore. "But yeah the fact that legacy desktop will eventually be abandoned is certainly one of the major issues people will be facing." Got proof or just more of fuchi's tinhat business? WinRT being xbawks huge on a tablet- I wonder why they have the recovery tools on the device instead of just making you do it via computer software later on? Isn't that what everyone else in the tablet/mobile space does? Office is probably about 2gbs of that space so that makes sense but yeah... that's a lot of space out of the 32gb. That extra 5 would have really helped.
-
That's an issue? I think it's one of its positives. That's how the world would really be if it happened. Unlike so much other media it doesn't force you to care about x or y before they get killed. Anyone can die at any time. Which makes it a lot less predictable than other comics. Kirkman does similar stuff with Invincible.

I adopted a kitten. This might be the best decision I've ever made.
-
Should we blame that on how hard it was to develop for it? I think that's something that shouldn't be as much of an issue this time. No more programming your games to run on a supercomputer.
-
Those people aren't just on youtube and facebook. Pretty stupid to say it's a joke when it's actually just a response to existing products. Is the N7 a joke? How about the Kindle Fire?
-
Demon's Souls and Dark Souls lore should not be fucked. It has a subtlety that many other games could learn from.
-
That wouldn't fit the lore.
-
Yeah, you have to narrow the scale to open games up. Which is why Warren Spector's One City Block game idea always comes up.

@Dean I don't get why you'd be against having a software function for something that you've never been able to control via software before. Would you have the same attitude if we didn't have physical volume buttons all of these years and then MS added one to the OS? Power- On Android you have to physically press the power button. On Windows 8 it functions the same as Windows 7. The software way to get to it (which I can't even think of a way to do on Android besides via command prompt) isn't comparable. It doesn't make sense where it is in Win7, it's just a matter of wanting it being easy to access. Like I said, "sense" wise it's grouped with applications when it's not an application. I honestly don't see what's "insanity" about having a settings menu with a bunch of common features you'd want to change settings on. Enterprise vs. consumers- Apple seems to be doing quite well without having the enterprise market. Cramming more into the same space isn't always better. You could argue that live tiles are the opposite of that though: So uncluttered that they're harder to use. Windows Phone 8 readjusted that vs. Windows Phone 7. Maybe we'll see another tile size in SP1. So what about tablets running x86 like the Surface Pro? That's also an issue: We have devices powerful as desktops that aren't desktops. You're also once again completely ignoring laptops. For like the 8th time: Ultrabooks will be shipping with touch screens. There's also all-in-ones to consider. If anything I almost feel like us desktop consumers are in the minority these days. Everyone who isn't using a desktop computer for gaming and work... well they don't seem to exist. They've bought laptops or tablets instead. @MasterDex. You can explain the new position easily. "This menu brings up your settings." I don't know what the hell you guys are doing where you can't do two extra clicks. Or why you're not use sleep/hibernate modes that work automatically. @madbassman. The charms menu looks like a generic "settings" icon that you see in lots of different things. Not just a name. @fuchi. I don't think any definition of intuitive should involve what you're used to but that's exactly what you just described. I completely agree that we're all used to doing things certain ways. Even the differences between various Linux distros/UIs, OSX, and Windows versions confuses the shit out of most people. Also books have been reinvented a bit. =D A good ebook has integrated audio and video and other such shit that makes the experience pretty nice. If you want wallpapers... uhh... put them on the desktop? Unless you have a theory that this is the reason Windows Phone 7 hasn't done well or something because this isn't new to Windows 8. I've never heard anyone say "I didn't buy a Windows Phone because I couldn't put some shitty picture as my background!" The problem is that they're losing ground to Apple and tablets. That's where average people are going. Average people also like the simplicity of installing apps that smartphones have brought with them. (My Mom actually discovers apps on her phone... I'd be scared shitless if she started doing the same on her computer.) People like us are not average. You should also try something in Windows 8 and get something that lets you launch directly to your desktop. Metro already feels like an app to me and I've pointed that out to people. Dean offers splitting Metro into just the RT version (then I brought up why not let x86 tablets and touchscreen laptops miss out on desktop apps) and you (fuchi) brought up not even using it at all... I don't really have a good alternative either. You have to think that MS hired a bunch of people who thought about this same issue. I don't think they've done it right just yet but it is a step towards trying to remain relevant for as many number of people as possible while still keeping the ones they have now.

You won't even last 30 minutes.

Shit, I would assume.
