    GFWL, DRM, and Double Profiles

    Had a similar situation with HOMM6 purchased on a Steam sale, except I couldn't get the game to work initially. I've had issues in the past with Gotham City Heroes and GFWL but at least those didn't prevent me from playing the game. GFWL sucks, but Uplay is fscking terrrrible. Registration menu...

    Planetary Annihilation costs 90$ (right now)

    Whatever your personal perspective on the price tag, use of steam to crowdfund/moneygrab/whatever-you-think-ubers-motivations-are, and whether or not they are being transparent about it, it's still a Bad Move on their part. It's easy to understand how the average consumer would be confused by...

    The satisfying weapon you've used in a game recently

    Doom2 - double shotgun, although it's somewhat situationally specific to deathmatch. Nothing quite so satisfying as a side-strafing-twitch-180-while-rounding-a-corner-full-on-pointblank kill. ./reminisce That and the steerable missile in unreal tournament was pretty amazing on some maps.

    Poll: Why does everyone hate ME3 so badly?

    This, in a manner of speaking. I'll subscribe to your service and install the client if it's worth it, and consequently purchase software from that point on. Not the other way around.

    Sony Sought Security Staff Shortly After Shutdown

    That job was likely a repost. I'm in the field, and have been monitoring available positions in cali and specific cities. I also saw that post several months ago. Also, in large corporations, it often takes weeks or even months for a department to go from 'we need another headcount' to...

    Poll: Best FPS ever?

    You need Quake on this. Quake basically revolutionized the FPS with three major, game-changing features (that come to mind off the hip). 1. Full 3D instead of the pseudo 3d that other engines had. 2. TCP/IP support multiplayer 3. Modability I wont go on at length about the intrinsic...

    UPDATE: PS3 Hacker GeoHot Claims He's on Vacation

    Please keep in mind that his move to "South America" was a claim by Sony and has no clear substantiation in article. His motives are also unknown, but of course Sony lawyers are going to inject their bias into the allegation.

    How would gay marriage affect your life?

    Well, the ensuing hellfire that consumes the world would be somewhat deleterious to my real-estate investments. Just sayin. The chance of 'fabulous wedding' invitations would likely increase, bringing a nice change from the tired hetero formula of church-dinner-reception.

    Poll: is he ignorant or does he have a point

    Back to the OP's concern, maybe you could check to see if your local range has a locker on site that you can rent and store your rifle there. Both requirements are met.. you get to shoot at the range, no gun in house!

    How would WoW end?

    WoW development will eventually slow to a crawl or a complete stop, leaving only achievement chasers, pvpers and RPers to stick around while the majority of the playerbase moves on to WoStarcraft. Servers/Realms will be consolidated and the list will shrink over time, until one day, likely...

    Poll: Does anyone here not like WoW?

    If they fixed pvp in WoW I would probably still play it.

    Poll: Does anyone here not like WoW?

    It's love hate here. So much potential in the last expo that took a sideways turn into craptasticness. I played it from launch till sometime in January or Feb this year.

    Richard Garriott Sues NCsoft

    Read the article more closely, it's not that he got fired, it's that they penned it up as 'voluntary dismissal' thereby changing the way his stock options expired to his great disadvantage. Not that I really care either way. :/

    Where will GTA go next?

    Nice suggestions, but I'm rooting for "GTA Winnipeg: Frozen Fuckin Wasteland". Corrupt, redneck cops, ample racial stereotypes of drunken indigenous peoples, meth trade underground, rich alberta rigpigs with too much money and not enough braincells supplying cross canada marijuana trade. Oh...
