    Poll: Question: The Witcher 3 - what do I need to have read and played?

    Thanks all. Based on what you've all said, I'll get witcher 3:_not sure if I'll play 2 first after watching witcher 1 plot summary but nice to know I'll be alright whatever. Cheers all :)

    Poll: Question: The Witcher 3 - what do I need to have read and played?

    Simple question, I'm planning to get the Witcher 3 at some point, and Steam has a sale on at the moment. At present, I happen to have the Witcher and the Witcher 2 due to sales, but haven't actually played much of them - having heard that 3 is both a leap above them and an awesome game RPG...

    Afterbirth

    As someone who has a 4 week old daughter, and 2 year old son, I have to agree... with Erin, their pretty gross when covered in 'the goo'. But they get better once cleaned up!

    Star Wars' "Black Stormtrooper" to Critics: "Get Used to it"

    Apparently, they aren't all clones by the time of Luke Skywalker... which was good for Luke or else he'd have to explain why he was so much shorter than the other clones when he was disguised on the first Death Star. I do think George didn't think the whole 'clone' thing through properly, or...

    5 Pixar Movies That Make Guys Cry

    I really didn't find myself liking Cars all that much, but it was alright. In truth, Pixar is very good on the "great-to-crap" ratio, and there are tons of there movies I like and many that I find made me sad and happy. However, I really, -really- don't get the 'Nazi Germany vibe' thing the...

    Alien: Isolation Review - Structural Perfection

    I'm not going to buy the game...but not because I doubt Jim, its simply because survival horror does not appeal to me. BUT I felt like I wanted to share congratulations to the Alien fan's who finally have a good game after the utterly awful Colonial Marines.

    10 Ways Civ: Beyond Earth Is Nothing Like Civilization V

    Interesting preview, and I am really looking forward to this - having fun with Civ 5 at the moment to hold off the longing. Might switch to Kerbal and imagine I'm story bridging the gap between the two. I did note the disclaimer at the end of the preview, and I have to say good job for...

    Swimming Pools And More Are Coming as Free DLC For The Sims 4

    Its more a case of 'EA were going to make you pay for DLC, but saw the poor sales/bad reputation from the fact the features should have been included, and are rushing to fix things after the fact'. Also see: Mass Effect 3 'Directors Cut Ending' DLC. Also see: SimCity free game for the...

    Destiny Ushers in a New Era of Blatant Cash Grabs

    *expels a huge cloud of coughed up cigar smoke* What-what-what!?!? If we spent so little on development, how could we get the artisans to hand-craft every frame? There are 30 of them every second, and these poor artisans deserve pay - their poor little wrists are gnarled, horrible things after...

    Jimquisition: Review Embargoes And Why They're Okay Sometimes

    Interesting POV Jim, I hadn't thought about the (non-evil) marketing reasons why game publishers/devs might want to hold off reviews coming out until close too or on launch day (evil reasons: pre-orders are not cancelled, etc). TotalBiscuit did a video on this recently, didn't know it was...

    Don't Watch Dis-Topia, Watch Dat-Topia

    * Looks up 'waifu' from a work computer * * Closes link and runs for the guns when they come from him * Bob, why TankGirl? Lori Petty is very damn annoying in it. VERY.

    The Fast Track To Internet Infamy

    Honestly, I've never been a fan of Halo. But I just found him going on and on about it annoying.

    The Fast Track To Internet Infamy

    Ahhh, I forgot about that. That's why I stopped listening to MovieBob for gaming news. Well, that and his constant harping on about how grey and dull Halo is/was.

    The Safe haven thread: Talk about anything

    I enjoyed both and can recommend it to you. That said, I listened to Mogworld as an Audiobook rather than reading it, but still. I'm excited for Civilization Beyond Earth, looks like a new twist on Alpha Centauri. That said, I was recently reminded of Civilization: Call to Power, and its...

    The 15 Best Space Combat Sims of All-Time

    Indeedie - The story varied from silly to stupid, but the gameplay and economy where grand, with a degree of freedom that was great. Tutorials where never X's strong suit, alas. Not played any of the X-Wing series, I'm afraid... Glad to see Tachyon: The Fringe was on here, it had a...
