    MovieBob leaving The Escapist

    Is something going to replace him or is The Escapist just going to keep on as an extremely low-volume second-hand news source with an overly politically correct and overmoderated forum Attached?

    Holy Shit Battlefleet Gothic RTS! Warhammer 40000 Space Combat

    UGH They have the Warhammer 40K Specialist games license, yet they've chewed through only Space Hulk, Mordheim and now BFG, but where is the best game, NECRO-FREAKIN'-MUNDA, SON??? Anyway, this will be lame, because the worst part of 40K is the imperium factions, minus Imperial Guard. And...

    Poll: What browser do you use?

    Maxthon, because after Opera's demise, it is the sole remaining non-Chromekit browser (except for IE, lol, and the now-bloated FF) and I want Google to die. Also, it is very convenient to be able to download any flash video from anywhere I please and get an .mp4 Negative, Opera had its...

    Dreamfall Chapters! GOTY maybe? Regardless: Hnnngh

    Well the 30 bucks is for all the episodes, and the first episode ranges from 5 to 10 hours depending on your pace, so I'd say you're roughly getting an hour per dollar once all the episodes are out. Well the controls are markedly better and sharper, there isn't any bad combat shoehorned in...

    Dreamfall Chapters! GOTY maybe? Regardless: Hnnngh

    I bought mine on gog.com though it's available on Steam as well. The GOG version comes with the soundtrack in mp3 and FLAC so that was what tipped the scales for me. (And what a soundtrack it is!) Also it might have been the reason I haven't noticed any of the optimization problems people are...

    Dreamfall Chapters! GOTY maybe? Regardless: Hnnngh

    It's out, 8 years of waiting released, and boy did it live up to my expectations and then some. Also very good timing by Red Thread Games to bring back on of the best female protagonist ever in these "sexism in video games" days. Sound: 10 Story: 10 Graphics: 8 Gameplay: 8 Characters...

    Do Gamers Have Principles?

    My principles: -Never pre-order -Never buy assembly-line deep-sequeled games -Never crowdfund an established publisher who are just abusing it for budget cushion, usually also boycott their game for trying (looking at you Trion, Sony Online Entertainment and Stardock) -Never buy bad ports...

    PC GAMING MASTER RACE, ASSEMBLE!!!! First time PC builder here, how does this rig look? - UPDATE #4

    Incorrect, headroom is always desirable, and the more headroom you get now the further into the future it'll be before games start becoming unplayable. And cheap G-sync monitors will eventually come, at which points you can have any frame rate you want and never get tearing or stuttering...

    Your Go-To Foods For When You Lack Inspiration?

    Pork with wok'd baby corn, bamboo shoots and onions on a bed of umami rice with soy sauce. Bacon or chili hot dogs when I'm in a rush Spaghetti whenever I feel like hating myself. Medium rare steak with cream gratinated potatoes Chicken soup Though the former wins in frequency, looking at...

    YouTube and the Deleting Independent Artists

    Vimeo has like a 1GB upload limit per month or something insane like that. Yahoo is currently working on a competitor to YouTube, they might be able to pull something useful off.

    Star Citizen: Arena Commander is Live!

    It's not artifical, it's the opposite. You play a human pilot. You see the world through his eyes. The end. Nothing more natural than that.
