Well, I'll comment on the collarless comments people keep making. I used to constantly buy collars for my cats, and would make them wear it. The cats, being cats, hated this. Invariably, they would come home collarless one day, having managed to rip it off somehow. I would then put on another...

I have not, nor will I ever, play the ending to Mass Effect 3. Thanks to that, the ME series as a whole remains one of my favorites of all time. Sometimes it pays to have a story spoiled. Beyond that, I'm open to almost anything, though I tend toward the friendly/flirty/nice playthroughs, and...

It wasn't so much that they helped build the game as it was they worked with Bethesda to get it launched without the usual red tape, or at least that was my impression. My opinion of the game is that it's buggy but adorable. I think it wasn't meant to be run on anything but the newest...

If it's not another sequel to the Battlezone '98 action/strategy remake, I don't fsking care. I will begrudgingly admit, however, that this does look decent, for a non-gameplay reveal anyway. It's not nearly enough to sway me yet, though. Still figure, pending reviews and pricing options of...

It's not bad. I've been playing it most of the day and I like it. The special packs (i.e. lunchboxes) that you can buy are also earnable in game, and I've already gotten five or so. Really, so far the only reason I can see for making any purchase at all is if you seriously screw up the early...

Skitter, i.e. Taylor Hebert, from the web serial Worm. Warning: Spoilers ... She spends most of the first half being an accidental anti-villain and the rest desperately trying to kill god. Don't worry, he's evil.

If you're wondering, you can just go and buy Alpha Centauri on good old games. Thank god for GOG. I own it myself and I've never had any trouble with playing it, as per usual for GOG releases. Honestly, even if they do 'fix' Beyond Earth, I doubt I'll buy it. Why should I, when the competition(...

Yes, but people with shitty ISPs can't be expected to download that. That's the issue at hand, here.

TL:DR Vastly increased file sizes aren't anything new for anyone who's been gaming since the nineties, and is a good sign they're going to really push the limits. File size for Star Citizen is currently only 20Gb, which is not bad at all. The space combat in Star Citizen is hands down the best...

Veralsi? You mean, like Varelse? As in the Ender saga's concept of the true alien, Varelse? ... I see what you did there, Gearbox. You're lucky I like it.

You basically just described CIG's plan for Star Citizen, only you can skip the SP if you want, and they plan to continually create and release campaigns alongside the persistent universe (that you can run on private servers if you want! Squee!). It's not an RPG per say, but there should be...

Wait, why is he saying that like he's surprised? I mean, I know countries such as the US and Germany have stellar reputations when it comes to science, especially engineering, while other countries ... don't, but I never got the impression France was included in the latter. In fact, I was under...

My bet is on money. Seems a safe bet. Who's trying to wring it out of whom will be the interesting part, though.

Dammit, ya beat me to it. Ah well. OT, this is certainly depressing news. Of all the people from Red5 I've listened to, Kern was always the one who seemed to have the best vision for the game. Of course, that was some time ago, so who knows what's been happening. I was an early supporter, though...

I keep vacillating on this game. On the one hand, I really enjoyed Halo: CE back in the day. On the other hand, that game was mostly remarkable as being a console FPS that actually worked. I do think Destiny will be good, but $400 good? When my Steam backlog of guaranteed excellent games is as...
