Yeah, Saturday mornings in the US, episode 4 won't be out for 2 more days. Glad that spoiler tag wasn't much of a spoiler, cause I thought you were talking about episode 3.

Yeah, I mean, from a business perspective it makes total sense if you can sell it that way, but you don't just come out and fucking say it. And that bit Jack quoted just shows a complete disconnect from reality. I just, I don't even know anymore. Though I guess it does kind of blow away the rumors that the 720 won't have any physical media, unless MS is planning to completely rethink this strategy (which the statements would not seem to support).

I flipping hated it in Uncharted.

Cams are always less popular than direct film copies. If someone would rather watch a cam that wait a week to see it in the theater then odds are they were going to pirate it anyway, regardless of release date. Though I will say that I saw a cam of The Simpsons movie that was so good I thought it had been made with one of those film-digitizer machines until someone stood up in the middle of the movie.

How did anyone ever get notified of class action lawsuits before the internet? Cause me, my sisters and my cousins all would have qualified for those gloves.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOZPGt0Gflg Couple dev interviews about the design philosophies behind the game. Pretty interesting.

Couldn't find an appropriate topic for this, so I decided to make one: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/microsoft-resists-simultaneous-digital-and-retail-xbox-360-releases/095084 All I really have to say is

I would consider buying a guide for Pokemon not for the game walkthrough but for the type charts and Pokedex and stuff. I cannot keep that shit straight in my head.

lol, I don't remember the glove lawsuit. I actually did end up getting myself a leather biker-style glove (the kind that only covers the palm, leaves the fingers free) for that game.

Hell yes it did. I remember getting blisters from using my palm to rotate that stick as fast as I could.

Goddamnit, what is this, Bizarro World? It's supposed to be Europe getting fucked over on release dates, not the US.

The stick on the N64 controller was pretty shitty too. Overall though that controller, and the system itself, was a fucking tank.

Do you mean strongest as in physically strongest, or best character?

Yeah, when I think of Linux I think of "OSes I'd put on an htpc"

Sorry, I was just trying to help clarify what Yant's point was, I myself am all in favor of any kind of space development.

The last game I bought from them was Okami. Before that it was Dino Crisis 2. Apparently Capcom doesn't often make games I'm interested in.

Ooh, I love strategy RPGs.

According to Wikipedia we produce about 7 million barrels of oil each day and import another 12 million, for total consumption of 19 million barrels per day (that's fucking mind boggling... though I just checked and a single supertanker can carry 2 million barrels, so that's not all that many tankers, not even counting pipelines). The oil that we aren't working is because at current prices it's not economically viable to work it, not because we want to hoard it (though we do have the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, but that only holds 36 days' worth of oil, not exactly a long term fallback). *Edit* - Just saw in that same article I linked that maximum draw from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is 4.4 million barrels a day, so it can only replace about 1/3 of our daily imports. Though it does mean that even though it only has 36 days' worth of our total consumption, it would actually take 158 days to completely drain it. Still not a long term solution, it's intended more as a supplement for temporary supply disruptions.

Fine, how about "you don't go far away to get something when there's a more easily accessible local source"?

Like I said on Duke's status, anything to make a candidate seem like a fun and likable person is a bonus for them. I know he's not a candidate anymore, but Herman Cain's appearance at Stephen Colbert's Rock Me Like A Herman Cain rally, as well as the interview he did with John Oliver on the Daily Show on Monday (especially his speech to the people of earth following a hypothetical alien invasion) both did a lot to make me like him. Hell, the same even goes for Bill O'Reilly's appearance on the Daily Show to talk about the $4 shrimp. If you can make it so people like you as a person then they're a lot more likely to vote for you.

You definitely level up skills and stuff. I feel like I remember reading about armor customization but I'm not 100% sure.

lmao @ "6 out of 5"

The point was that you don't go far away to get it when you have a local source, regardless of what "it" is.
