    EA Adds Two New PC Games to Origin Access, Eight More Coming Soon

    Meanwhile, I got Jade Empire on GoG for ca 3 EUR. Permanently, no DRM. Having looked through the games currently offered - not a bad deal, though I own all the games I'm interested in. But then EA still rubs me the wrong way so much that I haven't bought a single EA game (sans Jade Empire)...

    The Witcher 3's PC System Requirements Revealed

    Looks like I'd barely squeeze by the minimum specs. An i7 for rec? I have a hard time believing that. Looks like the other dweller in my household will need to upgrade to satisfy his high standards.

    Loki Will Be in Avengers: Age of Ultron

    First saw this on IMDb. People on the Hiddleston boards are freaking out and the main question is - how fired is Idris Elba? Or did he get the green light to leak this from Marvel?

    Nintendo May Remove Region-Lock Restrictions in the Future

    Yeah, how about lifting the digital lock first, so that I won't be forced to re-buy my games in case the console is bricked? I can live with region locks. A significant portion of my library made useless - not so much. Until then, no Wiis for mee.

    Stereotypes you perpetuate

    As a former Russian - I prefer Vodka over any other kind of alcoholm on most occasions. As a current Swede - I am highly aware of my personal space and get uncomfortable (at least initially) when people sit too close or speak to me.

    Lannisters Join Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Cast

    Ah, well damn. I was hoping Nicolaj Coster-Waldau was one of the Lannisters joining. Suddenly he makes a lot of sense as Mr Darcy. Whos's this Sim Riley person, and what's his claim to fame. Besides looking like a tweeny Pete Doherty?

    How EA's CEO is Developing from People's Need to "Steal"

    I don't know. To me it seems that he's saying that people who're not yet shopping a EA are cheapskates.

    How EA's CEO is Developing from People's Need to "Steal"

    This reminds me of a Korean fairy tale I read once - a king is throwing a celebration asks his old teacher to tell him a joke. The teacher, being an old and wise man, initially refuses, knowing that joking with kings can be hazardous for one's health. But the king insists, so the teaches tells...

    Doctor Who's Smith Goes Hunting Zombies and Bride in Pride

    Daaaamn.I actually felt bad for mr Collins when reading PP&Z, with all that happens to him in that book. Is it too much to ask for Nicholas Hoult as mr Darcy? He's age appropriate by now.

    The most irredeemably evil bastard in any videogame

    I'm going one step farther and say - the Leviathans. They created the Reapers in order to control the "lesser" races and it bit them in the ass. They only regret their creation to the extent that it greatly inconveniences them and not the fact that they are responsible for eons of systematic...

    EA: We Never Want to Be Named Worst U.S. Company Again

    I came to this thread for a good laugh and you delivered. Thank you XD OT: It's really easy, EA, honestly. Just don't be shit to your customers. It's actually amazingly hard to piss people off to this degree. So much so that I'm surprised Disney gave them so many titles when they had a...

    A new name for harassers/extremists

    I saw "vidiots" somewhere. I like that.

    Captain America 3 Directors Speak Out on Ending Cap's Story

    Well, IIRC, in the comics Steve Rogers eventually starts aging rapidly and thus is unfit for Captain duty. He gets offed by Bullseye before being able to die from old age, though I'm thinking that one of the possible ways Marvel might go is killing off Rogers at the end of the third...

    Fired Halo Composer Now Owns a Part of Bungie Again

    Good on him. I wonder how Activisiton and Bungie must feel, humiliating themselves like that in front of the public and the industry when all they had to do was pay out the guys wages.

    Lack of Gay Character Options in RPGs "A Shame," Says BioWare Producer

    That's nice and all, but what would be even nicer if Bioware could actually write a male romance interest without them being dweeby emos. Off the top of my head I can only think of three - Garrus, Jacob and Zevran, who don't at some point devolve into overly sensitive crybabies with abandonment...
