Oh my god that's a stupid name. Cool concept though.

That wasn't prerendered, it was in-engine.

The only game I cared about in that presentation at all was Quantum Break. And Halo 5, but that's not a launch game. Also, I'm with W&S: $500? No thanks.

Ah, I see. That makes sense now that you say it. However, if your advertising requires explaining like that, it's bad advertising.

Stars at 12:30 PM ET, 9:30 AM PT. A lot of places were listing 12 ET, 9 PT, but they were wrong.

The freinemy of my enemy?

As soon as we get confirmation of the differences between the current and next-gen versions of the game, and which on the PC version is, I'm pre-ordering.

"All in one" makes sense (though I think it should have been "All in One"). But yeah, what the hell is up with "Input one"?

Hong Kong is a lot different from China proper. But also, while it is somewhat amusing to hide in China against punishment for leaking info about US domestic spying, he's got a point that China's probably about the only country willing to stand up to America and not just straight up return him.

If you're talking to me, it was 90% a joke.

15 inch screen is about ideal for me.

That might be going a little far. If you want to try to keep the fact that it was you a secret, or physically hide to avoid capture or whatever that's fine, I'm not saying you have to walk into the nearest FBI field office and turn yourself in. Just, in the event that you actually are caught, don't act like it's so unfair to you.

This guy accepts the consequences of what he did, and says to him it's worth it, whereas Manning tried and continued to try to avoid any consequences, decrying the injustice of being put on trial for disclosing classified information. I mean, yes, he went to Hong Kong to try to avoid being tried and put in prison, but he gave up his whole life to do it. What bothered me about Manning was not that he tried to avoid getting caught in the first place, it's that once he was he tried to argue that he shouldn't be prosecuted, and he's the victim in all this. Based on Snowden's actions and statements so far it seems like in the event he were captured and returned to US custody he would just accept it as the consequences of his actions.

Yeah, and they're made up of mostly people who did Crimson Skies, which I really liked. Still gonna be keeping an eye on this.

Is there not much of a tutorial for Towns?

The rapists were juveniles, while the hacker is an adult, which has a huge effect on sentences. Also, if you're going to use the max he could possibly get then you need to compare it to the max they could possibly have gotten, which in Ohio appears to be 11 years for any first degree felony (based on really cursory research, so I could be wrong). Finally, he's being charged under federal hacking laws, they rapists were charged under Ohio state laws, two entirely different governments prosecuting them, so comparing them is really meaningless. What we should be up in arms about is how apparently lax Ohio's rape laws are. Jesus Christ, 11 years max? In Kansas the minimum presumptive sentence for a severity level 1 felony (which includes rape) is 12.25 years, and it goes all the way up to 54 years.

Yeah, it's a whole alternate world. Landmasses and everything are way different, it seems that physics is different, etc. Culturally it's very much based on Victorian London, but in terms of tech it's kind of all over the place.

It would be slightly awkward, but I think more funny.

Bought the Android version last week, lost interest very quickly. Oh well, I got it with the Play Store credit I got from buying a Nexus 7, so I'm not too torn up about it. This is the Steam daily deal, and it's something I can play out on my laptop in the living room.

Okay, I hadn't really been following Destiny, but now I'm fuckin stoked. Also, it bugged the shit out of me how he kept saying "showen" for "shown".

His voiceover is really negative, but he doesn't elaborate on anything so it's really hard to tell if there's any basis to it. *Edit* - Though the fact that it's from the developers of Dark Void and Quantum Conundrum is less than reassuring...

The impression I got wasn't that they were accepting Xavier's team as collateral damage, but that they were intentionally wanting to wipe out his team as well, because they're the freaks. Anyway, I just find the whole thing with the Russian and American fleets suddenly being like "yes, let us work together" based on almost no information to be hard to swallow. It just doesn't feel natural.

I think by "work environment" he means the attitude of the other (male) employees. Not anything you'd necessarily see in clips of the office.

Did they know what Shaw's power was? Also, I thought Moira was in communication with the American fleet the whole time (she was certainly in communication with someone). That they knew she was there, and that at least some of the mutants were on their side, they were just accepting her as collateral damage and fuck the mutants cause they're weird.

I also thought the training montages at the mansion, especially with Beast, were really cheesy.
