On "gamers" you're just creating your own definition that suits your own argument - and to be honest - casual gamers outnumber the hardcore by a large swathe. If it was just guys like us, the market wouldn't be particularly viable. Look at TV for an example of how small of a minority we are -...

Really? As long as there are career politicians there's the external threat of the constituency voting them the hell out for starters. You know, the entire reason why England did so well on knees amongst other things. Politics isn't an ivory tower they're born into where they can ignore their...

Came out Thursday from what my email said - waiting on Gamefly to send it to me though for the PS4 version.

And this board is completely representative of the entirety of the world now? You're a genius. And for hating consoles didn't you just buying $1k worth just a few months ago? (Well, there with a game each at least) Both have their ups and downs - not to mention on the value argument there's...

"Resting on our laurels" = hundreds of billions of dollars a year in military research... are you drunk? (PS - I don't drink and post, I barely drink period - last was... August I think?) And plenty of times the Fed saves money, they just end up moving the savings into some other project that...

Final Fantasy III/VI then - those characters were all exaggerated featured anime nonsense as well - again, mature storyline...

"Better experience" is a highly subjective statement.... for people that don't want to bother with a $600+ machine it certainly won't be... those that hate having to bother with configuration nonsense won't be... some of those that don't want to hook a PC to a TV won't be... etc. And PC...

Technically it's not quite 50% for .gov Phoenix, but mid 40's. But still, total is something like 11% of policies were individually managed. (And amongst those, some are individual executive plans where they're still managed by a third party for a CEO or upper tier exec)

DotP13 does a decent job of replicating MTG in a very clean client - it only cuts out a little bit of game detail to stay fluid. The card pool and level of control are really limited though - but D14 did add a sealed deck style feature even. Its basically exactly what you'd be looking for...

Outlast got announced for PS4's freebie in the EU for February, so basically guaranteed to be the same here since PS4 has matched completely so far for PS+. (And for the PS3 it looks like they're basically getting the stuff we got last month - so nothing shining as a probable one for US PS+ to me)

Dual Wield Expert trainer for those asking is in Seahaven once you open the bridge (immediately over the "can't cross because we're fixing it" bridge once it's open...) - so no getting DW Expert until L10 or so at the earliest (I was L14 I think... but I assume some people can outdo me on doing...

Frozen Earth or whatever it is on two different casters makes it a trivial fight - but brute forcing it is certainly an option. (assuming you're not just blitzing to the lighthouse before clearing most of the overland - Kenshi are no joke when you're still L2-4 but trivial 5+ if you're thinking...

Well while it would be good for those that PAID for it - 100-200 cards every 3 months would be impossible for anyone going F2P to keep up with, so it's pretty obvious with them wanting F2P to be viable why they'd steer clear of going that quickly.

Just because characters appear an age doesn't mean the story is of that age... Ellie in TLoU was 16, did she FEEL like a 16 year old for 95% of the game? Seriously guys...

The muddy textures in question existed in the Alpha graphics and performance are WAY up from the last Alpha. But there are a few textures that missed getting updated or something, because many look tons better (largely from filtering being added I'd imagine 16x filtering wasn't an option in...

Right, it's one of those ways that they're MOSTLY right with their thinking but applying it the wrong way. i.e. in the Quarm case it's due in the sense that over time it should even out, but at the same time its wrong to think it influences an individual event. Ah, statistics what a fun time...

I'd prefer to see it be something like going back to 4 mana with a flat 4 dogs. (Maybe even buffed dogs, like 2/1 or something - would make it like an expensive Defias that way) The scaling is what makes it bullshit for the cost and so easy to do lame sacrifice combos.

Or in the MMO world - "The Belt (or insert other item here) from Quarm hasn't dropped in 32 kills, it's due to come up this time!"

The market although it sells alot per capita, isn't that big, 1m is probably more realistic with the other 400k being somewhere in transit for various reasons/held stock/etc

Not seen it happen myself yet - but seen it reported (maybe in this thread last page or so? Not much other HS stuff I read) - so not sure how it appears when it occurs. Interestingly I played the same guy earlier (I guess I bumped him down in rank he was 16 playing me at 15 earlier) I think -...

That seems to be the art style for the Tales games - but from the little (and I stress little) I've played of them and seen of the wife playing them - it's just the art style, the storyline is at least as mature as normal Square titles from what I've seen. (I'd compare it to the Ghibli RPG if I...

Yea, infinite turn bug is back.

Wife had a hilarious arena the other day - Swipe x3 + Alarmo-Bot + Malygos - led to some pretty amusing matches the few times everything came together. (She also had 3 of the 8/8 taunt trees, so the alarm-o-bot was a champ for the build) Swipe + Malygos is just hilarious.

For you perhaps, for someone like me that started gaming for real [Atari shit before it] with Ultima III (and then went backwards to catch up on the others afterwards) - this is a sweet nostalgia sandwich with the modern trimmings that don't get in the way of the gameplay. Mouselook gameplay...

It turned out pretty solid IMO - something a little more modern but definitely fitting of the name. As for it going back to tile-based, that's a huge fundamental to why they even bothered Quin... M&Ms since they left tiles behind were pretty shitty.

Artifacts can be cursed.... unless you're talking about something past yellow/orange.

Took forever to download the demo, but it's seeming solid (had to get it from gamershell instead of Steam - the Demo button on Steam didn't work earlier) - so unusual it'll take me a bit to really form a solid opinion on it though.

Plenty - was a common interview question during my hiring in fact when I was hiring people for positions where logistics matters and the like. Usually something like "I just flipped a coin and got heads 8 times in a row, what are the odds that it will be heads on the 9th flip?" - if they took...

Your results aren't typical if mine is any indicator, two amazing drafts and got amazing opponents 3/4 of the time. (Like first deck was 4x Defias, 3x Shadowstep and equal ridiculousness - but faced opponents with 4x Swipe by turn 7 and shit like that) Went 3-3 and 4-3 with very solid drafts.

Whaaaaat?!

Knee replacement - NHS Choicesmost per capita in the world, with some of the lowest costs in the world as well thanks to the bargaining power of the nation as a whole being used for all the knee clinics. It's a pretty well known phenomena if you're at all in touch with medicine especially...

Any noticeable difference in performance thusfar? And with which titles have you tested it?

Do a search for "Hospital Deportations", it's a real thing - a few other places have done it too, but Arizona lawmakers condone it - most other places told the hospitals to cut it out once they got wind. And Single Payer is quite motivated to improve - that's like saying the Fed isn't...

Is Don't Starve being buggy again? Did the same day 1 it went up too but was fixed, and now unfixed.

Early on because of the starter batch of invasion stones invader quality is quite random. Could be you or them that's doing it. Esp since games tend to increase in popularity with the new or the rusty requiring before a sequel.

You're Hatorade on HS right? Got beaten by a very similar druid deck on my murloc lock earlier but not by Hatorade

Been a while since I've done it but Kindle used to let you convert anything to Kindle format via mailing it to the device. Not that its hard to convert to Kindle since there's a ton more development of book managers etc for it. The price is the primary benefit - but has to be weighed...

I'm actually the opposite of taking it seriously. It seems a laughable stat to bother with. Not as bad as 97% of 'poor people' own a fridge - but close to how irrelevant it is. As Sean said even assuming shipping and locality prep are equal (which I'd expect not) small variables can throw...

Man, addictive game - but really disappointed in the Summoner - powerful but man it's obnoxious resummoning every 10 (or less) turns.

Current job is retirement due to my health. I was human resources for close to two decades before my health failed and carry a MSHRM which shares most of the same education as an MBA, and is in fact used almost synonymously with an MBA. And while you might have taken the same starter stat...
