    Dishonored Definitive Edition Offered Half Price To Return Customers

    It was also free on Xbox's Games with Gold thing last August. But yeah, I've got the physical copy, so I guess I'm out of luck.

    Zero Punctuation: Mortal Kombat X - Test Your Might

    He does. ZP isn't on it, but his weekly Let's Play style things with his friend (the guy who likes fighting games, as mentioned in this video) are definitely worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/user/yahtzee19 If you want ZP on YouTube, the official Escapist channel uploads them a week...

    8 Games With Amazing Soundtracks

    Regarding SR4: ...you know you can have the radio stations playing all the time, when you're on foot, right?

    WoW Token Launches Tomorrow - 30,000 Gold For 30 Days Game Time

    It won't. That's just the starting price they set - the actual price at any given moment will go up and down with supply and demand, as it should.

    Rock Band 4 Landing This Year, Will Support Past DLC

    Yup. If we could get some Lightning Bolt in Rock Band, that'd be pretty much the best. (Also check out Megasus, another Brian Gibson band, who've been featured in GH/RB games in the past.) So yeah, I'm totally down for some more Rock Band. I didn't think I would be, because I played it way...

    Escapist Podcast: 167: Assemble the Team

    Nice to see all the various facets of Escapist business coming back together. Also this has been our reminder that Janelle's SUPER ENTHUSIASM was sorely missed, good to see her returning.

    Life is Strange - Just Wow.

    It looks interesting, and someone mentioned it in the same sentence as Twin Peaks (my current addiction) so that's probably enough to make me check it out. Can't say I'm really keen on the whole episodic gaming thing, though. Actually I've never played any of them, but I sort of feel like I'd...

    It Wouldn't be Twin Peaks without Conspiracies and Cliffhangers

    I started watching Twin Peaks for the first time a couple of weeks ago, so it seemed like time to come back and read these reviews now that I'm ahead of you and have some sort of context for it. Looking forward to the next one!

    8 Christmas Songs You're Already Sick Of

    I'm preeeetty sure Feliz Navidad was only a hit in America, because I'd never even heard of it until this version [https://soundcloud.com/rainbowdragoneyes/feliz-navidad] came out last year. But yes: I work in retail. We've had our Christmas playlist for a month now and I'm completely sick of...

    Does Music Today Suck Now, Or Am I Finally 'Old'?

    Preach it, brother. That thing is fucking incredible. Edit to add: Mist.

    Nintendo's New Handheld is a Revamped, Redesigned 3DS

    Right now I'll say, nah, not super interested. I only got my 3DS a few months ago and I've not really played it much due to MMOs sucking my life away. By the time it comes out, though, there's a reasonable chance I'll consider it worth the upgrade if there's a new exclusive that catches my eye.

    Countries you've never visited, but want to.

    In my experience, simply explaining that you're trying to practice the language usually gets a positive response. Most people are happy to help. At least, that was the case when I was learning French and Portuguese. So, places I'd like to visit? My first choice would be the Netherlands...

    Uncivil War: Watch Dogs - The Car-Clothing Coordination Carnage Contest!

    This is very silly. I bloody love it. Yes. All the yes. That was so much fun back in the day. That or throwing knives.

    Jim & Yahtzee's Rhymedown Spectacular: A Fitting End

    Jim mentioned it on Twitter a few weeks ago, but as far as I know there's been no mention on here.

    Xbox One to Get Kinect-Free Version for $399 in June

    Of course. I just bought Dark Souls a few weeks ago. Sigh. Ah well. I said that the always-on Kinect was one of the major reasons I wasn't keen on the Xbox One, so that's a big step in the right direction. Now all they need is to come up with a model featuring backwards compatibility with 360...
