I'm really doubting everything will die in 2 seconds when the game comes out. GW2's promo videos showed thingsdying in one or two hits, but that obviously hasn't been true with release. At this point, they're just showing off animations. MMO combat is generally pretty boring to watch, so I...

Good point, and completely possible. Based on the number of people that I see running around with the new items every time they're added, I'm led to believe that the shops at least bring in a decent amount of profit, but again, just conjecture.

Destroying stuff is always going to be fun, but more than that, it'll serve to make your attacks feel a lot more powerful. Your spell will seem to have more of an impact if it leaves a crater in the ground rather than just being a bunch of sparkly lights. And, obviously, the environment has...

Watching the announcements for the new EQ1 content reminded me how much of a mess that game's lore was. It's hard to argue that it often wasn't just thought up on the fly, which made it more and more ridiculous and convoluted as time went on. It may remove some of the things that made EQ EQ...

When they were showing a fly-through of the world and then concept art of the characters, they really looked at odds to one another. The world has a very realistic look, while the characters are sort of cartoony. However, I was surprised that the characters didn't really look that out of place...

My guess is they're going to go a very similar model to what GW2 has: $60 box, no monthly fee, regular updates to the in-game shop with its own currency. Considering GW2 recently ramped up how frequently they are doing updates, this must be a system that is working really well for them...

This doesn't really sound as exciting as what they indicated. These sorts of things shouldn't progress linearly from one event to the next. They should be branching events. It shouldn't be "starting a new chapter," it should be "writinga new chapter." If a server isn't able to fend off the...

They haven't known what to do with Ann since the first season. It initially made sense for her to be hanging out at the Parks Dept. since she was trying to get the pit next to her house turned into a park, but as that's become less of an arc in the show, they've just had to keep contriving...

If anyone wants to give this game a try they are doing an "open house" until August 6th. You just need to register an account.

I think it fits Walt's personality to keep the book around. All along, one of the underlying factors of Walt's lifestyle change has been wanting respect. Gale was the only person who really gave Walt the respect for his scientific brilliance, so I could see why he'd keep the book around as a...

It was the earlier bundles that tended to have a single key (with an additional one for beating the average). As time has gone on, they've had bundled keys less and less. HIB7 had 10 keys and HIB8 had 12, for instance. Though, I'm sure it's a lot easier for bundled keys to be created when the...

I like how Hal and Maggie were discussing how Lourdes wasn't really responsible for what she did and wondering if people would forgive her, and Hal commented that people haven't fully forgiven him yet for the things he did while under the influence of the eye worm, and then immediately after...

Comstock is an American imperialist. He feels betrayed after America orders him back after the Boxer Rebellion and becomes convinced that the current American government has lost its way and become too far removed from what the Founding Fathers intended. He can't set himself up as a god...

Thisis the original press release. It does say that there's story content, but doesn't say that all three pieces of the DLC will necessarily contain story. It is worth noting theClash in the Clouds DLC pagesays you unlock "concept art, Voxophones, Kinetoscopes, and more," so it is likely...

Arenas have always struck me as a lazy way of doing DLC. If you want to include these different types of combat scenarios, why not do it in a way that works within the story? It disappoints me that Irrational decided to add this as DLC. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't feel like having this...

I think GW2 is the only MMO that I've played where I've really focused on having a bunch of different types of weapons, but even then, I've figured out which two weapon sets I prefer the most and usually just stick to those. Really, if they're going to cut corners somewhere, I'd rather they...

I'm guessing it wasn't so much that she had an alibi, but that she's beyond suspicion. She's the little innocent doctor girl who is busy saving people's lives; what reason would she have to kill the president? Marina, on the other hand, hasn't been trusted, and, as Pope pointed out, had many...

Definitely one of the funniest Futurama episodes in recent seasons. I know that's not saying a ton, but I'd honestly put it up there with some of the earlier seasons.

Yeah, my first impression was to say having every weapon with every class sounds really stupid. Thieves with scepters? Elementalist with rifles? But then they have already actually done a lot of unconventional weapon choices that they have made fitting. All of the casting classes, for...

I think this is one of the things that's keeping my expectations in line. They don't really appear to be trying to hide the fact that the game is WoW+, which means I'm not building it up to be the next MMO that keeps my attention for years. If I can get a few months enjoyment out of it, great...

Genkibowl is mediocre. It's just a few tweaks to the normal Genki minigames plus a new skydiving minigame. All told, you'd really have no trouble beating it in a couple hours. Gangstas in Space and The Trouble with Clones are much better and definitely worth the extra $2.50 for the pack. The...

Absolutely. I haven't played any of the other games before either, but it really didn't matter aside from not knowing the backstory of a few characters. But, that's secondary to how utterly off-the-walls the game is. It's even better if you have a friend to join you.

Yeah, I think a lot of it has to do with how repetitive the deals have become. Today, for instance, I believe about a third of the dailies are repeats, one or two of the flash deals, and the community vote (plus one of the games on the vote). I guess it's good that they give people who...

Having played both DD and OMD 1/2 pretty excessively, I think they're hard to compare. They're both tower defense games, but DD has more of an emphasis on the RPG elements with getting loot and building your characters, whereas OMD has more emphasis on trap strategy and combat. They each have...

I went in with fairly low expectations. After the direction Weeds went, Jenji Kohan isn't exactly a name that carries a lot of clout with me and some of the previews made this show look like it was the Netflix sitcom model for a chick-flick. I decided to give it a try based on positive reviews...

I liked both Year of the Snake and Nightmare on North Point, but then with as much as I loved Sleeping Dogs, I was happy to have an excuse to return to it for a little while longer.

That, and he berated Bob for sending catering to Roger's mother's funeral.

If it follows previous sales, the community vote is mostly meaningless. In the last couple sales that have had them, nearly every deal eventually showed up as either a daily deal, flash deal, or even got put up for another vote. I also can't recall any times where a daily deal's sale was lower...

If the sale does start tomorrow, it'll probably start around 1pm EST, which is usually when new deals are posted.

Steam should email you about discounts on any game you have on your wishlist. Though, be aware, it really isn't the fastest system in the world and likely to be even slower during the sale.

I actually made an effort over the past couple of months to try to play through a lot of the games I bought from the last sale (and the sale before that...). I actually did a decent job of getting through a number of titles, but I really have no doubt that this sale will set me back even...

Not to mention, Ken saw through him and called him on his crap almost immediately.

I can't help but think that EA knew this survey would leak, and then people would be happy since it looks like EA is listening to them, but it's really more the opposite: "We don't know if they really want all these features they've been saying that want, so let's put out a survey to ask them...

Yeah, it's basically a hybrid of a racing game and a jumping puzzle. You get three movement powers (high jump, dash, and, teleport) which are needed to progress around the track, but then you also get pick-ups that you can use against other people to get ahead of them. It can be found in the...

So, the new minigame with this patch is basically Mario Kart. Interesting...

But so many scifi/fantasy writers make that intrinsic quality something that is unique to humans. If our adaptability is due to evolution and the stronger needing to survive for the continuation of the species, why wouldn't an alien race have similar qualities? I think the French analogy is...

I think the thing that annoys me more with the whole Volm device is how unquestioning Tom is about the whole thing. I get that they skipped ahead in time so we never really got to see the Volm earning the humans' trust, but up until this season, Tom was the history professor who constantly...

Donald Glover Will Spend Less Time on Community Next Season

To be honest, I'm not entirely convinced Bob is actually gay either. It was shown repeatedly all season that Bob's primary focus is advancing his career and that he'll do anything to accomplish that. Not that I don't think he would've played catch if Pete accepted his offer, but were his...
