    What's so outrageous about Uplay?

    IDK about that, I kind of like spending my achievement points on new shiny stuff in new ubi games I get. They're the only who who've actually done something with achievements that's functional besides giving you the ability to show off a neat thumbnail and pithy title. Case in point, AC...

    Survive the Hostile Depths of the Pacific with Narcosis

    This looks amazing. I'm really hoping they manage to do well with the physics, at least since this is all under water, you don't have the normal problem of having to have different physics system for different environments. This could be a really good thing.

    Get Your Own Free Copy of Assassin's Creed Unity

    Exactly this. As previously mentioned, even winners aren't getting it for free.

    The FTL cloning question

    I'm just going to go ahead and reference the movie The 6th Day. Yes, it's a rather terrible movie, but shows the problem pretty clearly. The only way I'd be on board with acting without fear of death due to cloning replacements being an option would be with the EVE Online model- that is, you...

    Katniss Gains Explosive Arrows in Mockingjay Trailer

    You beat me to it- I was going to call it Katniss: First Blood Part III.

    The most irredeemably evil bastard in any videogame

    Kefka. Definitely "Let's un-make the world by moving these stones just for shits-n-giggles" Kefka. Most definitely that maniacally laughing, dancing-madly asshole. Someone else here said it better, basically the Joker + Magic = Kefka, but let's not forget he also started the game as the right...

    Jetpack Enables Anyone To Run A 4-Minute Mile

    Was going to quote your reply to me, but this seems just as well. Specifically to the point here, and one you made in your reply to me, this would be adding ~11 lbs to a kit the soldier's already carrying. The standard infantry loadout at the moment varies from ~90-110lbs. So this awkward...

    Jetpack Enables Anyone To Run A 4-Minute Mile

    Seeing as how they already use bicycles (see Montague Paratrooper use in Iraq and Afghanistan) I think they already thought of that. Obviously, while getting it down to 4 minutes is the goal, they're already showing a pretty good improvement with their prototype. It doesn't add much weight or...

    Jetpack Enables Anyone To Run A 4-Minute Mile

    They've already done some pretty cool R&D (that's still coming along) in the arena of powered exoskeletons that allow a lot more weight to be carried, pretty close to the Exoskeleton armor from the STALKER series. Something like this paired with it seems natural. Specifically here though-...

    Canadian Explorers Find Franklin's Arctic Ghost Ship, Almost Intact

    That was my first thought. Really, you took a ship named for deity of Darkness/Shadow and a ship simply named "Terror" to explore an unexplored passage in the arctic? Granted H.P. Lovecraft wasn't around yet to warn you what's lurking beneath the sea, esp. in the dark corners of the earth, but...

    LGBT issues in the western world.

    Way to propagate a negative stereotype. I guess it depends where you are in Texas. I live in Houston. We're the largest city in history to have an openly gay mayor, who has been in office for nearly a decade. There's a huge, thriving, open gay community in both Houston and Dallas. I...

    Movie Defense Force: Death to Smoochy - A Delicious Dark Comedy

    I was completely unaware that this movie needed defending. It's a great dark comedy, and Norton and Williams play off of each other perfectly.

    The Pickup Artist #2

    Forgotten about once the next generation is available?

    Johnny Gat Goes to Hell in Saints Row Standalone Expansion

    Based on the fact that nearly every frame in the trailer looks like it could be an 80's thrash metal album cover, I'm getting that vibe too. And I like it.

    Treasure Hunters Rush to UK Beach Seeking Fortune in Gold

    Que criminals and unsavory sorts watching and tailing people as they leave with their findings, in order to relieve them of it at their destination. They need a pawnbroker or metals trader on site who can issue cheques.
