  1. ^Yeah that's how I feel. The mechanics in the first game were more boring than anything.
  2. One thing The Verge doesn't make clear: KB/M is only shit in the Metro environment. If you don't use Metro (I don't in all of these cases I keep talking about) then it works nearly identically to Windows 7. You still click in the corner to access the start menu. It's just that this start menu is now full screen. If you're not a barbarian and type to open up apps it's not an issue. Multi-monitors have improved on Windows 8. What else do people want from that? Personally I have no problems with how it works on 7 but apparently others do. So is it overall shit if it has a feature you don't use? Because that's how I feel about Metro. I just never use it. I don't use the apps. I changed all of my defaults so nothing opens in Metro. It's a full screen start menu and one with multiple options to replace it (Pokki, Stardock's solution, and I've seen one more.) Though I will note that the Win 8 start menu loads and searches faster than the one on Windows 7 which is why I've tried out these replacements and haven't kept them because they're just not as speedy. The real issue is just getting this info out to consumers. I think mixed messages (which is something people have written about in the past week) is the big issue here because Windows 8 tries to appeal to so many people at once. I really cringed when The Verge said "Desktop is just an app." Sorry, but that's not how I use Windows 8 at all. Metro is just an app to me.
  3. I swear we talked about this just a page or two ago!
  4. There's people who do drugs, and there's people who let drugs do them.
  5. I'll pick it up as soon as I see it for $10. The same goes for Papa y Yo.
  6. Perhaps FM-W meant a busy area in the house? Which is understandable for some living situations.
  7. That looks great. The setting is pretty cool. One thing they don't make very clear: How does she fit into the Assassin's line at all and what does she have to do with the plot? I don't think templars were even mentioned and they didn't seem alluded to either.
  8. If you go Walking Dead pick up the Compendium on Amazon or Barnes and Noble. It's a little bit of money for an absolute shitload of comics. The first Walking Dead can be read in of itself and be seen as one gigantic arc without having to worry too much about the rest of the series (which is still doing an ongoing arc of sorts.)
  9. Oh god. You probably buy Kraft singles, too.
  10. That comes down to the difficulty of the game and how it's difficult. Obviously I Wanna Be The Guy is a completely different level than other things.
  11. You don't have the patience for hard games? What kind of shit is that? I'd rather play a short, hard, rewarding game, than a longer, less rewarding, way easier game. Which is why I still haven't touched Skyrim.
  12. Project Eternity fell just short of 4 million but will easily make it up with Paypal. Best part? Chris Avellone being absolutely shit-housed for the past 30 minutes and then afterwards telling the entire staff drinks are on him and they're going to all get fucked up.

      Is this post ^ arguing against their ability to make less buggy games, or the opposite?

      I think it was their original IP and Sega published it. I actually enjoyed Alpha Protocol. No other game lets me kick my way out of a international crisis while making black dynamite noises.

      Depends on the control they had over AP haha. That's what I was wondering about. Then again this isn't 3D so it should be better.

  13. ^If I get this gift card I won in the mail in today I'll be getting it as well for that reason.
  14. I pirated To the Moon but haven't played it so I'm all over this.
  15. In this case we can exclude reviewers because they never get games 3 weeks early. I think this one would be interesting to know about. Perhaps an employee who had a finalized copy? IIRC there are shots of the full box and everything.
  16. Proper leak? I'm guessing you don't pirate much media. If it's a real leak the source won't matter. Hell with music I prefer when it's not a scene group that leaks stuff. Though it's not as much of a deal now that scene releases are V0.
  17. Might pick up Festival of Blood. Is AMY interesting enough to play or is it absolutely so shit it's not worth it?
  18. The Neurosis album leaked and it's excellent. http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2012/09/20/161430939/song-premiere-neurosis-at-the-well A preview.
  19. I started El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron
  20. I can't remember if it was from a game dev or nintendo or what but apparently for most games it's either 720/60fps or 1080/30fps.
  21. Maybe you should adjust your settings.
  22. @Johnny You were talking about how you could be playing it right now if you pirated it. I was making the point that with a lot of stuff you can use it before it's out for anyone legally so what you're saying about having to wait doesn't hold up very well.
