Yeah, I think it's 1 or 2 GB.

Yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking "direct" direct, but another game set in Middle Earth. I agree that we don't need another one with the same dude.

I just checked, and on Youtube it is not playable in HD in a web browser, and I can't figure out how to tell on Google Play but would assume it's the same.

According to the pages you can check for any specific video during the checkout process, you don't have to do it blindly.

Yeah, you're fine to use the two that are wired together, that's why they make them that way.

Looking at the help pages for both services, they appear to be the same: you can watch some stuff in HD on your PC, it depends on the video.

Why don't you want a direct sequel to Shadow of Mordor?

I usually get ~3-4 MB/s. My connection can handle up to 8, so I'm fairly confident it's Sony's side limiting it.

Well from the PS4 side of things this recent downtime is the first problem I've had with PSN since the last time they were DDOS'd...

My extended family tried a new thing where everybody buys themselves a gift and wraps it up with no label, and we put them in a big pile and each person picks a gift at random to unwrap and then has to try to guess whose it is. It worked really well, and was nice because you could spend as much or as little as you wanted without feeling like you were shortchanging somebody. I got myself that plastic Catan board for that exchange.

That's really the only stuff of note. I also got some Kinetic Sand, which is kind of fun, though obviously just a novelty, and Captain America: Winter Soldier.

Both seasons of TWD on PSN, because I have no self control.

I just could not get into Child of Light, and I really wanted to. Made it about 4 hours in and lost interest.

Lots of games have really bad audio balance.

Yeah, I had to look it up. It's irrelevant to me because the only thing I've bought digitally on Wii U is the Mario Kart DLC.

I'd be tempted to buy creepy things just to mess with dean.

Freedom Cry is great, even better than AC4 proper, which was itself pretty fantastic. I think Adewale would have been a better AC4 protagonist.

Yeah, if it tells you that look carefully at the picture's link, if it doesn't end in ".jpg", ".png", etc then that's your problem.

What's Lili: Child of Geos?

Awesome. I'm nearing 100 hours in my first playthrough of that game.

See, I would classify an act of terrorism (though like you I don't like that term) perpetrated by another state as an act of war, so whether you call it an act of terrorism or a more traditional act of war is irrelevant. I would draw the line between an economic policy and an attack that does economic damage based on the degree of violence in the method of the attack, rather than the actual results. So a unilateral sanction, even if illegal, is still in the nature of "We reserve the right to refuse anyone service" and not a violent act in and of itself. A hacking attack, on the other hand, involves actively invading and disrupting the target state, which is more violent. Just like sending a plane to bomb an economic target (no one killed or injured) is a more warlike act than sanctions which do the same amount of damage to the economy. All that said, whether an attack actually justifies war in a practical sense is obviously dependent upon the extent of the invasion and the damage done. Hacking into utility companies and crashing the whole national power grid is stronger grounds for war than stealing e-mails from one movie company.

^Yeah, that's pretty much what I saw.

There was hate?

Oh come off it, there's a difference between an economic policy and an actual attack that causes economic damages and you know it.
