I wish that game had been a lot more down to earth, and that cutscene-Vincent would have actually altered his behavior based on player-Vincent's actions.

That police car at 1:09 might be the coolest future car I have ever seen.

Yeah, everything I've gotten from them that I've actually paid money for was a Steam key.

I've bought a few things from them, but not a whole lot.

If it were on a service I used all the time anyway, like Steam, then it would basically be a discount because the credit would just replace money I was going to end up spending anyway, but yeah on GMG it's not really the same.

With Bioshock: Infinite (NA) preorders on GMG you do have the option of a $15 GMG credit that will be added to your account at the game's launch though. Which is roughly equivalent of a 25% discount, kinda.

Yeah, I saw the disclaimer, I was just confirming that it doesn't work in the US. GMG one doesn't work either. Says I have no appropriate titles in my basket.

It's showing as $59.99 on that link for me.

Not strictly a board game, but it's tabletop so I figure close enough: Mobile Frame Zero. Saw it on Penny-Arcade. It's basically like a tactical strategy game played with collectible miniatures, but instead of having to buy the miniatures you build your own out of Legos or whatever the fuck you want, so it doesn't cost your entire life savings to get into. I may have to try it if my wife has any interest whatsoever. My sister and her boyfriend might be good too.

In Prototype 2 I don't think I ever ran into a part that was frustrating in the same way that some of the Prototype 1 parts were.

New video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbOhc2Czcc4 I wish marketing departments would actually put the interesting parts of games in their trailers, rather than make everything look like a generic beat-em-up.

Yeah, I've always had a negative view of Acer, but that's probably mostly because the bulk of my experience with Acer is from the laptops my high school had in the library, which were shitty as hell, and I'm sure they just bought the absolute cheapest/crappiest model they could find.

Software doesn't bother me, I always wipe and reinstall windows first thing on any manufacturer-built computer anyway.

Is it generally agreed that Dells are crappy? I ask because I've always had good luck with them.

Short of outright fraud I don't see backers getting too far in lawsuits against Kickstarter projects.

I didn't even know it had coop.

Oh, sorry, missed that bit of your writeup and didn't read the actual link. *Edit* - Don't think of it like a console, think of it more like a standard, like Bluray or whatever. There's certain requirements that the device has to meet to be branded a Steambox, but as long as they meet those requirements (and maybe pay a royalty?) anyone can do it, just like how you can buy a Sony or Philips or Toshiba bluray player.

I agree with that except I haven't played The Unfinished Swan.

Gabe confirmed Valve's own version of it will run Linux. He said you can put Windows on it if you want, and that it won't be hard, but it still seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot for the out-of-the-box version to be incapable of running 99% of the Steam catalog.

The people on this forum.

Yeah, based on that article it looks like it's more along the lines of what we were originally discussing: Valve setting standards that allow other manufacturer's to make their own computers and call them Steamboxes or "Steam certified" or whatever.

I can't imagine they could win anything in that kind of suit. If they think the deal was shittier than going bankrupt they shouldn't have taken it, it was their own fault. If they say that it was better than going bankrupt then their investors weren't harmed by them taking it and they have no damages.

I liked it. I recommend it to anyone who liked the first game.

I still don't think much tops the 2011 poll showing Congress being less popular than the US switching to communism. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/11/congress-less-popular-than-communism-bp-during-spill-nixon-during-watergate-or-king-george-during-american-revolution.html It especially cracks me up that Congress is approximately half as popular as King George was during the American Revolution.
