Maybe if enough publishers pull out from Steam, they'll drop their fee % a bit. But then, I wouldn't count on it. Economics of competition always work better in theory than in practice.

Welcome back, Bob! Glad to have a reason to finally come back to the escapist, too.

Huh, same here. Almost like something happened in February of 2015. <.<; Welcome back, Russ, and best of luck getting the big e back on its feet. Looking forward to seeing what you've got up your sleeves.

Meh, whatever. I'm finished. Only checked this place out of habit anyway.

Once again, if some random part machinist who supplied a major car manufacturer were to make death threats about the CEO of said car manufacturer, nobody would bat an eye at the supplier being cut off and blacklisted. Why are video games this special medium where things that are said somehow...

So... didn't Rico Rodriguez used to be hispanic? He seems to have morphed into generic-brownhaired-actiondude between 2 and 3.

Calling it now... it'll just be them trying to build hype for Battlecry.

Out of curiosity, what's your opinion of the Halo series?

I dunno about you, but I didn't watch power rangers or any of the other US-produced sentai shows for the teenage drama. ... well, for Bulk and Skull maybe.

Chell being silent could work, but the games are structured in such a way that there's the strong possibility that she's canonically mute, and that could be written for. The same wouldn't work for Gordon Freeman, who is obviously interacting with other people. OT: I want a CGI cartoon...

The "neckbeard" phenomenon is a remarkably easy one to explain. It comes from the position that the owner should not be inconvenienced in any way. See, hair on the cheek itches, especially when it's coming in, and once it's long enough not to itch, it's annoying and hot and gets in the way...

I'll agree that "easy" is a joke in most games. However, I find that "normal" provides just the right amount of challenge for ME in most games, so I do hope that there's an equivalent "easy" setting for TW3.

Why do people insist on feeding obvious sockpuppets? I've never understood that. Clint Eastwood hasn't put out a good movie in 20 years, whether directing or acting. I didn't expect this to change anything. It's about as rambling as his empty chair speech was.

No, no there is not. I'm sure this exists in some places, but it hasn't applied to a single homosexual couple that I've known, and that's not a particularly short list. Please don't assume that gays and lesbians always function as portrayed in their rare and badly stereotypical appearances on...

Gearbox is probably going on my do-not-buy list with Ubisoft once they screw up Homeworld. This isn't even on my radar.
