Yea as I mentioned here or elsewhere, I ended up just giving myself a bajillion dollars in Bioshock 1 to essentially 'skip' the gameplay as much as possible. Here, I had no urge to do that. I played through totally legit and largely enjoyed it. I actually played it on normal first because I...

People keep saying it but I have to agree, Swiftkey > Swype. They now even have Swype-style typing built in, plus a buncha options. Worth trying out at least I would say.

The reason so many people used the AH is because of how shitty the random loot is. If they ever move forward with reducing crap drops, the AH use may go down. Re: Chris, in a way, that's what is already happening. The AH seems to mostly be low-end junk or super high-end stuff right now, with...

That's absolutely insane. That's equivalent to ~$950, which I don't think any phone has been even remotely close to? Is that a for sure official retail price or is that site just asking that much because they put it up first?

I definitely agree with the pacing comment. There should be way, way fewer objects to search with more stuff in them. A lot of games have this problem (Skyrim) and it's really stupid.

That's like saying any movie shorter than 3 hours is garbage, i.e. it's a terrible opinion and limitation on your own enjoyment of things. Some of the best games out there can be lengthy, sure, but some of the best are nice tidy little packages. At first I was offended by how exactly like...

You start at level 7 I believe with new parties.

No. There are very few attacks you actually need to or even can actively dodge away from. You can make a kiting build and do ok, but you'll never out DPS a monk using the normal thunder fist/sweeping wind/overawe/3 defense skills build. If you aren't punching something in the face your dps is...

The whole megapixel-stacking is getting stupid. I don't see how these phones even have sensors good enough for quality ~8mp images, much less fucking 16. Most of the new front-facing 2-3mp images are damn near as good as the rear-facing ones just because of sensors. Edit: Of course, if that's...

Yea I recently sold my old mp3 player before it totally became worthless, I just had no need for one. I usually had anywhere from 200-1000 songs on my phone, so I could theoretically live without the SD card if I got a 16gb (my Incredible was 8gb internal + 8gb card), it's just a feature I...

There's an app called easytether that I used to use to give my laptop internet via usb from my phone, no idea if it's still updated/works though. I'm torn on what smartphone to go for... the nexus 4 is really nice but no SD card slot kinda bums me out. The Galaxy S4 isn't out yet and honestly...

I bought one pair of these and put them on the right sticks of two controllers and they do make it noticeably better. I still would play anything where I have to aim at all on a PC over a console any day though.

I know I've mentioned before but yea the actual gameplay of Bioshock 1 did nothing for me, on any difficulty. Halfway through I just started using cheats to goof around with in combat so I could keep exploring and experience the story without being bored. I've played plenty of slower/tactical...

I'm actually leaning towards the Nexus 4 because of the slightly smaller screen at this point. The S4 is 5" compared with 4.7", but even that is 1" more than I had previously and I didn't really feel like I needed a bigger screen. I already have a tablet so Note is mostly lost on me as well.

Selfish like not wanting people on your team to benefit from being on a team? Actually that's not even really selfish, since them getting points doesn't affect you at all, it just sounds douchey to me. The amount of times I have someone on my team literally not contributing is incredibly rare...

If they don't deserve to be out of bronze it's extraordinarily unlikely that they ever will be, they have to win a SHITTON of games for that to happen. Not to mention, are you just going to punish everyone that has one bad game if they still were polite and tried to contribute to the team? I...

Or maybe that person that went 0/8 was split pushing all game and helping out his team that way? There is no reliable way to reward people based on KDA/CS alone, there's too many exceptions.

Is the Nexus 4 as nice as it looks on paper? I haven't really been following the smart phone market lately but may be jumping back in now/soon. I know the Galaxy s4 is coming soon but don't know what advantages it has over the Nexus.

Part of the problem is that 99.9% of the people get to where they're supposed to be eventually (or sometimes right away), but they refuse to believe it. Now, granted, .1% or millions of people is still a lot of people, but its usually not the ones taking time to bitch about.

Good luck finding that person :P

Regarding stability, I've had Civ 5 going for apparently more than 120 hours across a laptop and a PC (Win 8 and Win 7 respectively), and the game engine itself has had 0 problems. The multiplayer is a whole other bundle of fuck-jobbery though. Edit: Next big expansion announced,Brave New...

You've never really been entitled to privacy in a public space, this is just kind of driving home that point. When you're in public, you are in fact, in public. I care about my privacy to the extent that I don't want to be harassed or identity-thieved, but this fear over people being recorded...

Except for the Matrix version of The Edge, I guess. So that's 2.5 votes for 'not evil', 1 kajillion for 'evil'.

Dunno if it's just me but I don't have a Lolking score and no way of seeing my KDA ratios, so couldn't finish that survey.

I already own Bastion and want to buy it again I liked it so much :P Can't wait for this.

I think most of the accused have admitted to it in one place or another already. I know fans watching the players' streams saw them doing it in a lot of cases (apparently Aphro did that a lot.) Considering how long they took to bring out these rulings they probably made 100% sure.

It isn't smurfing they we're suspended for. Elo boosting is logging into SOMEONE ELSEs account and playing it in ranked to get them to a pro-level Elo, regardless of the account owners actual skill level. There's no point to this except to get that account owner rewards they don't deserve, and...

Also, what happens if/when the meta shifts again? It's not that rare that I see a team do good with off comps. My first game today, I ended up getting top, someone called mid first, and then a duo wanted bot. So I'm like that's fine, I'm pretty even top/mid/adc so whatever. The bot duo went...

Yea I'm playing with a different community than you guys I guess. I very rarely have to report anybody anymore.

Honestly, I consider some of those champions interesting as well. Thresh has tons of movement fuckery and an interesting passive, Vi is just fun to play (maybe not that interesting I guess), Zed has his Shadow mechanic and the walk-away-from-explosions ult, Elise is the two-form champ that...

Normal has hidden MMR + tries to put you with people who have played a similar number of games (comparable experience or something like that).

Yea motion comics are a bit awful if you're expecting actual cartoon-style movies, but they're alright at what they are. There's still the split-second scene of some half-naked guy like Aikido flipping someone in an Iron Man suit, so I'm not sure I buy that Mandarin is going to be JUST some...

In the latest trailer there's like 0.5 second shot of what looks like someone kung-fu'ing Iron Man, I'm assuming that's the Mandarin, but it would certainly imply he's not "just a terrorist". It's like between 1:42-1:43 in there.

I think he meant the average damage from 100%->0%, in which case his math is close. e.g. hit a champ at 1000, botrk does 80, hit a champ at 800, does 70, at 600 only does 60, etc. which makes the AVERAGE damage of the botrk lower than BT in that exact example, but it's mostly pointless anyway...

My budget CM wizard I just mentioned has cost me less than 4million so far, and I'm splurging a bit on her (because I just sold some dumb int skorn for 12m). CM isn't even the cheapest build, I just didn't want to do archon or kite.

I wouldn't be surprised if they reverted it back to 4%, or some small tweak like that. There's a post of reign of gaming about how its almost always the most cost effective first adc item right now. Obviously, different matchups or whatever influence build but the majority of people do not...

Yea, for me, my gloves/amulet/shoulders we're all pretty bad, so wasn't too hard to get a quick upgrade. On the other hand, there's like no reason to try for braces because the difference between perfect and what I've got is almost nothing. Better off just throwing more gold at gloves/ammy...

BotRK was decent before the buff, but people had some bigotry against it or something. With the buff it's absolutely INSANE, obviously. It's pretty much Black Cleaver all over again.

Even before online piracy, the vast majority of recorded artists only made money from live shows. And that was only if their albums increased their concert attendance, otherwise, getting recorded actually cost them money. So yea, only the biggest artists are really suffering from the new digital...

If you look on the official D3 class forums, there's posts of people you can friend to run ubers on MP10. I did a set of 3 machines without a hitch. It just takes time to burn down through the hps of those things at that point.
