Activision and Blizzard were both already owned by Vivendi, a French media company. This was a merger of two companies that were already merged. They just didn't tell you all. Blew your mind?

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura is available on good old games - so you have no excuse! Right, this could be a long one. Bare with me. Arcanum seems to have gone completely under the radar of most of the gamers I know, being completely overshadowed by Diablo II (see previous...

For me it's a late night thing these days. I don't get to game as often as I used to, because I got a new, more demanding job, and so time with my girlfriend has taken precedence over gaming, for those of you still enjoying a lot of free time - make the most of it! But yeah, it's sat at my PC...

Down, Down/Forward, Forward, Heavy Punch.

either go for a classic you missed, like diablo II or kotor, get through some mass effect or maybe a crossover like Borderlands, which I personally really enjoyed. Alternatively, go for one of the under-the-radar classics like Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura. That was a great game...

I don't necessarily think this is the wrong way round, I'm a big fan of both franchises, and some merging obviously needs to happen, but if they do produce a title on each engine, I'll definitely be picking up both of them

Not everybody hated those two. Personally, I'm waiting for Ashley to come back, and didn't get my mack on with any of the ME2s ladies in case that would make her hate my shep somehow in ME3. I'm glad to see her coming back - she was always one of my favourites. I think from ME2 we're going to...

My perfect explanation for this would be a space-age MMO in the same vein as mass effect and kotor and stuff but obviously with the valve awesomeness in it. But yeah - Valve has made games with crazy replayability, and so combining that with the MMO formula could make...dare I say it...a WoW...

About 40-50% of the path has been the most disturbing thing I've seen in games. Just hearing the music now really shits me up. However, if you want a good, pretty surreal mindfuck-by-suggestion I would absolutely play it. Edited for clip:

Exactly, the law of averages is also called the gambler's fallacy. The organisation are actually really interesting if you want to look into them. Not exactly a scam but not entirely legitimate either

This sounds like the Per DM group I mentioned: things like "the law of averages" and "atmosphere rooms" sound familiar? Which city were you in, and what were they called, if you don't mind me asking?

Personally, having graduated in June 2010, I didn't really feel the recession until I was looking for a job related to my degree this year. I got a 2:1 in finance from a good university, second only to Oxford in that field when I graduated, I have solid A-levels, and my interview technique was...

Basically, there is a legitimate claim in there: Mojang (read: notch) have gone and made loads of money with nothing but I good philosophy and a good idea. They've displayed that people will play whatever they want to play, whether it's free, costs £10 or costs £60, it doesn't matter. Also...

I basically disagree with you, but I'm going to outline why and try to make my point well without starting an argument Assumption one:Most comedians suck. I would say this is true. There are a great deal more comedians than there are good comedians. I don't just mean those that are successful...

Ok so this thread is pretty stupid, but if the only thing it accomplishes is informing more people about this practice then all the better for it. Seriously, this happens, and that's not funny.
