    Guild Wars 2

    Perhaps, and not knowing how large any of the teams are, it's hard to refute. Though, it's likely things like the cash shop items (which are mostly just skins) can be turned out a lot faster, whereas PvP is much more complicated due to all the balancing it requires. Fortunately, it does seem...

    Guild Wars 2

    Different teams. There is a specific team just for PvP, which has been focused on esports type stuff over the past few updates. There is a new PvP map coming out next week, though I really wish they'd add some new types of PvP gameplay. After the holiday CTF minigame, I was sort of hopeful...

    Because, by creating a new pool to stick these people in rather than outright banning them, Microsoft can continue to get $5 a month from them. It should also discourage some of these people from just creating a new account to continue their stupidity like they do now, since Microsoft isn't...

    I think you just summed up the storyline of why Don was so infatuated by her.

    Guild Wars 2

    By actually adding rewards for unlocking achievements (rather than just an ever-increasing, useless number), it's going to somewhat open a new path of progression as it should encourage people to explore and do things they might not have previously felt there any reason to do. It's the sort of...

    It's still leagues better than the Danny Boyle inspired nightmare fuel they were using for the launch of the PS3. At least that ad doesn't make me feel like I need to check myself into rehab after receiving some bizarre contact high from my television.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    GMG is doing a "666 sale" - 6 deals for 6 hours for the next 6 days. It's a dumb gimmick, but perhaps they will repeat some deals on the last day like Steam has done.

    Breaking Bad

    "Most tragic," I never said satisfying. The worst thing that could happen to Walt would be to take his legs out from underneath him by removing what he has always used to justify his actions. Though, I wouldn't really be happy with that ending either, because it's not really an ending. If...

    Breaking Bad

    The most tragic ending would be to show Walt sitting, gun in hand, with his back to the wall in his storage unit, staring at the stacks of cash that are now much closer to the ceiling with the dawning realization on his face that everything he has done, everything risk he's taken, and every...

    Breaking Bad

    As fantastic as that episode was, I think ending there would've been like they cut Walt's story short. Gus wasn't just an adversary, but a roadblock. Up until that point, Walt was on his way up but almost always under someone else's thumb. Being the kingpin has been what Walt was working...

    Futurama Season 7

    I think that's the biggest disappointment for me. References to current pop culture used to be pretty uncommon unless they were either from Fry or the heads in a jar. Now you just have Leela making off-handed comments about recent movies. It's a cheap way to get laughs where the humor used to...

    Mad Men

    I can see where that interpretation can be made, so I can't really say you or chaos are wrong. To me, it seemed like she was far too drunk to be consciously manipulating Don. If you watch the scene where Megan's mother insults her and then the scene where Megan is drunk, you can see she's just...

    Guild Wars 2

    They said in the past that, in the seven years that Guild Wars has been around, total downtime has been about 32 hours. The longest it was ever down was when they moved the database to a new data center, which accounts for roughly a fourth of the total downtime. It's really amazing when you...

    Mad Men

    I'll concede on that. I remembered it coming up and theWikiphrased it that way. I don't think we disagree that she worked at seducing Don, just that we don't agree on her motivations. Perhaps I'm not giving her enough credit, but I never saw her as thinking that far ahead, just taking...

    Mad Men

    I don't think Megan ever really intentionally hid anything from Don. Before they even got together, Megan told Don the whole reason she moved to New York was to pursue acting. Her intent was ever fully explored, but you have to consider they got married, what, a month after they met? Their...

    It's possible. They have hinted around that the cards will be involved in the sale in some fashion (which is hardly surprising), and that means they'd have to take them out of beta prior to that, which makes the timing right considering the sale has started on Thursday the past few years (and...

    Mad Men

    Yeah, I don't think Don is going to just go retire out in California and become Dick. I think this season was a lot about exploring the dichotomy of Dick and Don and how he's slowly giving up on the facade, but I think next season will be him figuring out he isn't just Don or just Dick, and him...

    Mad Men

    Don started his pitch by presenting his childhood as being this idyllic time that was full of happiness, which was obviously all made up for Hershey's. His father was actually quite abusive, and it's unlikely Don has memories anywhere near as fond of him. It was "Don Draper's" childhood, not...

    I don't know why that would be the case. From what we're hearing now, the "family sharing plan" was just a glorified demo whose primary goal was to sell more games. I doubt they'd cut something like that for revenge. More likely, they realized that it would cause even more backlash when...

    Is anyone really surprised? There was no way they were going to let you buy one copy of a game and let 10 people play it. Why would they? That would just mean 10 lost sales. I have no idea why they tried to present it in that way. It was just going to bite them in the ass later and just...

    Microsoft wanted to adopt where PC gaming has gone the past few years, but they implemented everything that would benefit them and few things that would benefit the customer. When they took that model and stripped out everything that makes it palpable on PC, it really shouldn't have been...

    Mad Men

    I think that's one of the reasons I like Pete as a character so much. He may be a scumbag that I'd never get along with in real life, but I don't really think I could label him as a bad person. He's a complex character who is obviously struggling with insecurities. He wants people's approval...

    For all the talk of "future proofing" and the belief that "most customers wouldn't care," they previously seemed determined to just go ahead with these changes as they figured it was a vocal minority doing the complaining. The numbers must've said otherwise, because that's really the only way I...

    Mad Men

    While what Don did was petty, it's hard to find fault with how it benefited the company. He single-handedly saved one account that they might've lost and helped secure a lucrative account despite "giving his word." It was a Pete move. Pete may be a smarmy little shit, but the company knows...

    Their relationship strikes me as being similar to Don and Peggy's. Don doesn't really want Peggy, but Don doesn't want anyone else to have Peggy either. The difference being, Don and Peggy's relationship doesn't really have anything to do with romance, but the complicated mentor/student...

    Actually, they came up withthis optionfirst. They just wanted/needed the added exposure they thought Steam Early Access would bring, but it's a system that really isn't set up well for what they want. Originally, there wasn't even any indication on the Steam store that the game is a pre-release.

    Wrong. It's the X-Men movie with James McAvoy, Michael Fassebender, and Hugh Jackman. The first X-Men movie is just "X-Men." The newest X-Men movie that has come out after a few other X-Men movies is "X-Men: First Class" or "X1." Why do people find that so confusing? It makes perfect sense...

    They are also making the mistake in believing that they can build up like Steam did. He talks about how poorly Steam was received when it first came out and where it is now. The difference is, Steam never really had any competition during the early years. They weren't really competing with...

    I just like how they think that's a reasonable response and don't seem to realize that their go-to response for these types of questions is just highlighting how many steps backwards they're taking. "Oh, you had the expectation that the new system would be as convenient as the old one? Well...

    Falling Skies Season 3

    That was my guess as well. It's doubtful it's going to be one of the main characters (unless they have it be Tom's son and just wave away Karen's influence over him). You know it's not going to be someone obvious like Pope. Who better than the character that mysteriously popped up at the...

    Right now, AT&T uVerse allows you to use a 360 as a cable box, including DVR features. Last time I checked, they even had it where you could still access DVR recordings on televisions that weren't otherwise activated for cable. So, given that it was possible with the 360, the Xbox One may very...

    Heh, I was sort of waiting for the same thing with the PS4. Prior to the press conference, the rumor was that Sony was going to release two or three tiers of systems. The $399 price tag really didn't even impress me at first, because I figured it was just a lead-in to a $499 system with a...
