    Most important quote from that is that it implies they're tuning it properly for KB/M for PC - no half-assed must use a controller shit.

    With making turds in toilets is there something I'm missing or do I just suck at button mashing, can't make a legit turd myself (PS3) for the life of me. [PS - Sounds very odd saying that...]

    Its going to be amazing or terrible, its clear there's not going to be any in between with it - I'm leaning towards amazing though, but I'm a cup half full guy generally. Although I will say screw them bringing the date UP from the June 30 estimate, man my backlog is getting ridiculous.

    I can't take complete credit - someone mentioned it when I made a similar complaint in another thread - was just relaying what someone else told me in that one (I think Vorph, but not 100% sure and too lazy to check).

    I meant it's dominance, excuse me for forgetting a single word - you're clearly trying to say its drawing down - and attempting to imply its significant. (Which as an outside observer it doesn't seem to be remotely - especially with the growth of indie games and consoles embracing them) [And...

    You're trying to say that development for consoles is coming to an end because it's not profitable anymore - which is just blatantly untrue, this isn't "my friends at Gamestop" (Protip: Not been in a Gamestop in nearly a year now - and the only "gaming friends" I really keep anymore is this...

    And? You don't need to move 12.7m or more units to be profitable in the industry. If you did, then the industry is already dead.

    Thief (2014)

    I will say one thing though - as a "semi negative" and that is I'm finding the game a ton more enjoyable on the SECOND playthrough because I turned on all the custom stuff to make it force me to play it "right" (i.e. Ghost under its terminology) - when you remove the modernized stuff with the...

    Note: On ER visits to "dodge the deductible" - might want to check the law on that pal - because if you provide insurance and then try to dodge your portion the INSURANCE COMPANY IS LEGALLY ALLOWED TO COME AFTER YOU AS WELL AS THE HOSPITAL if you've done partial payment (which the insurance...

    Thief (2014)

    I'd say the two should be about equal personally, new is absolutely better with SOME improvements but far less than could be expected for the time difference. Plus the entire thing of picking on this Thief's story while 1 and 2 can be almost completely described in a paragraph or two. This...

    Thief (2014)

    It's amusing seeing "Thief 1/2 fans" that don't seem to acknowledge that Thief (2014) has very similar warts to the original.... rose colored glasses and all. Thief was an amazing game for its time, and Thief (2014) took many of the same missteps that the original did and didn't innovate that...

    Final judgment while going through to complete the platinum - glimmers of brilliance marred by a number of noteworthy things: 1) Supernatural enemies - was a bad idea before, still a bad idea. (In fact worse now IMO) 2) Being able to save anywhere removes alot of tension - the 180 pt chapter...

    Technically wouldn't "shipped" in the context used usually mean they were at their final retail destination? So no more shipping to do for brick and mortar places if so? It's a decent trajectory though compared to history, depending on how harsh the difference between shipped and sold is though.

    Correct, but why exactly is it that roughly the same amount of doctors are refusing ANY new patients? And why is it not an issue that those same people with a different insurance (major market PRE-ACA) are getting turned away? You're talking about between 8% LESS Medicare patients getting...

    Seems bugged recently with preorders that it won't give a definite date on when you order it - just adjust the shipping time to something else then back to 2 day and it updates correctly.

    Additionally, don't forget that every insurance plan includes a prescription plan BTW - which the deductible changes often coincide pretty closely to what adding a RX plan onto a similar plan cost in previous years. Not sure about all cases, but I know for the BC/BS I used to administer for my...

    And editing like fanaskin, good times: You'll note those doctors mentioned are "cash-only" doctors - yes, those are effected - but they're a small subsection of doctors that don't keep a front office and don't file claims for you, you pay in full then you get reimbursed from the insurance...

    What market volatility? That rates went up? (less than projected) No one who even knows the market considers that even worth noting because it's the status quo that rates go up every year when they're allowed to.

    1) People are signing up for them - unless you're not counting millions of people - which you apparently REALLY want to. 2) On deductibles, absolutely - and coverage caps are a much more important thing which are ridiculously higher - top end is when insurance really matters, having a slightly...

    Rates were projected to go up on average about $20/mo (4%/yr, the average policy was around $500 a month) each year for the past 4 years that the hold just got lifted on without the ACA - so what you're saying is that the ACA saved you $40 versus what was projected - congratulations the ACA...

    Wonder if they can manage that because it's offloaded to the cloud? Could this actually be a plus for that "pointless" feature finally? Although do note they have said the PS4 Twitch app isn't in final form anyhow though (since they plan to add archiving to it at some point - at least one...

    One silver lining to my car accident is that her bro delayed our trip for the aches and pains to be 100% gone - so I no longer have the same conflict. But I feel for you. (And honestly a trip 9 days into DS2 for a week might actually be more painful in some ways - all that early learning lost...)

    Wingz: If you can provide evidence of a policy that got worse, I'd love to see it - asked for examples lots of times have yet to see a before and after that's equal or worse overall - often they're identical in 80-95% of items and then a few items that are worse and a few that are the better.

    Hannibal Buress has been my favorite of the guests to repeat so far for @Midnight.

    Weird - I swore PS2 did way better out of the gate but that trajectory over the first two years is amazing. (Wii's too - but it's a different market) I guess the market expanding and getting a larger portion of the population into gaming is a big thing or something. Seems odd NeoGAF didn't...
