Welcome!

He's practically tied with Cameron even. *Edit* - Something I don't understand about politicians is why they don't feel like they can act like real people. In the Republican primary's for the 2012 presidential election, for instance, while Herman Cain was running he just seemed so stiff and artificial. Then, after he dropped out, he kept making appearances but was much more natural at them, culminating in his appearance at Stephen Colbert's Rock Me Like a Herman Cain event. He went from someone I very much disliked to someone who, while I still wouldn't have voted for, I would at least have been okay with had he been elected. I think Mitt Romney had a similar problem, where he just seemed like a robot all the time. It's like they don't understand how far the "I wouldn't mind having a beer with that guy" sentiment can actually go. If someone seems like a real human person to you then it's much harder to have strong negative feelings about them.

Wikipedia is showing March for Ep 2, but there's no source on it...

You are what is wrong with this world.

Launch trailer: There's also a third and final dev diary about the music and art style. I am hella excited for this game.

I tend to prefer dubs for comedies and subs for everything else.

Gameplay from PAX South (the actual game starts around 32 minutes in): I haven't had a chance to watch more than the first couple minutes of the gameplay, but what I saw looks like it could be promising.

Sorry, when I said "for sale" I meant preorder. I was on the phone and distracted when I was writing that. It will be available to download on the 30th, you are correct.

It's going up for sale on PSN today, and I assume Xbox too when the Xbox store updates tomorrow. It's already on Steam. $5 on all platforms. Steam has a season pass for $20, though it doesn't appear to be up for PSN or Xbox yet.

Kind of an awesome EA sale on Xbox right now: http://majornelson.com/2015/01/27/weeks-deals-xbox-live-members-2/?linkId=11985025 Highlights include Titanfall Deluxe Edition (game + season pass) for $12.50 and Dragon Age: Inquisition for $36.

Do people actually still say hella in the northwest?

First 20 minutes of the game: I know, ew Kotaku, but it's the first one I found without an annoying voiceover. Apparently they're releasing a demo on Friday along with the full game, and this is a playthrough of that demo. Some of the dialog is silly ("You'll get in hella more trouble..."), but I'm still pretty much 100% on board.

WHEREUPON, I have considered your assertion. WHEREFORE, I have concluded you may be on to something.

Don't know about TFG, but sometimes I like to use non-standard prefixes and suffixes just for fun.

I love Yorkie bars.

@FLD: I just don't like that I have to choose between using a limited resource or losing progress if I suddenly need to stop playing for some reason. @FDS: Yeah, the homestead was awesome, by far the best implementation of the home-base mechanic I've seen. I'm playing Unity right now and it seems to have gone back more to the Ezio-triology style of purchasing shops around the city, with a central building that gets progressively more decked out.

I don't mind if they want to use save points like that, but having a limited number of save tokens irritates me.

Make no assumptions about Nintendo's ability to make decisions that make sense.

Total use case: other family members are using the TV you have the console hooked up to, but you still want to play. Also, they're working on PC->Xbone streaming too, is just not as far along yet.

@Mal: Yes, it will work with a local controller on the computer you're streaming to.

I love the little victory dance she does at the end of the levels. Adorable.

Just started AC:U today, and I have to say I'm really pissed at the dev for breaking with the series convention of using accents to denote languages. Hearing everyone in Revolutionary France speak with a Fake British accent is really fucking distracting, but so is having to look at subtitles if I set it to actual French.

I got it for Christmas. I would not have been disappointed if I'd paid $30 for it, $40 might be a tad much. Took me about 6 hours to finish.

Just finished Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. Really solid game, highly recommend it to anyone with a Wii U.

Yeah, I'm thinking I might use my 10% off on unfinished swan.
