Kinda don't think your "It's just the force" reasoning makes any sense in this case. Alright, we can accept the force makes the impractical lightsaber useful to begin with. So all that discussion about weight distribution bears no weight. So look at how the things get used- twirled, spun...

Hmm. A planetside-2-esque experience for fourty bucks, where every class is also (for the sake of revivals, anyway) a medic but you can stop people from reviving by charging up and putting the boot in? Actual big battles that might not make the server have the most violent of convulsions? Color...

I didn't really like how they went with a "large mana pool, slow regeneration" style for the mages. Unlike my fighters or rogues, it always felt like every battle was on an egg timer where I had to remove the threat before it went off, or desperately run around trying to survive long enough to...

Hmm. Lots of ship types sounds interesting, I loved freelancer but always wished we had access to some of the bigger ships (though the mods that added them ranged from disappointing to entertaining but buggy). The fact some are large enough that you have to manage firing arcs is actually a...

I can get what you're trying to say and the comic is even kind of funny, but you've kinda been resorting to this sort of thing a lot lately. The satirizing stick might be a reliable tool for webcomic-ry, but there's only so many times you can clone hitler and beat him to a broken pulp on...

That is amazing. Freaking. Amazing. Is that really the comic, or did an editor at the paper pull a fast one? Tarkus is a damn good choice, too. "No... there is much left to say. And I will break my silence to say it!" And so jeffy became a BATTLE BRUTHA! A SPEES MAHREN! This can only be to...

You do any research before you came to that conclusion? Here's some differences: 1. Robot goal is not killing the Mercs, there may even be a respawn system like vanilla tf2 for the players- Bots are trying to deliver a bomb to a specific point on the map, and the players have to stop them...

Exactly what I'm freaking talking about. Nobody is surprised by this turnout, so they sure as hell don't have an excuse. But, they're going to be able to pull it together and call it a success, just because it's Blizzard. If you couldn't read the scathing frustration before, you can now.

Well absolutely nobody saw this coming. But, within a day or so, they'll get it mostly up again and they'll be off and running. Then they'll release a statement about how "thrilled" they are by the "record demand for Diablo III", perhaps along with a rough estimate for how many bajillions the...

I don't know about the system requirements, but for now I think it is a PC exclusive. As far as controllers go, their FAQ says: A bit cryptic, but that was written back in 2011 so yeah, it's possible you'll be able to get it working, or at least they are looking at control methods other than...

But is it still a proper Catapult without the missile-launching mickey-mouse ears? And with every snippet this game looks EVEN MORE AWESOME! Although that may be because my brain is so mechwarrior-deprived after all these years that I've gone blind with nostalgia. I cannot lie, that shot...

Man, I feel for those folks who got laid off. Can't be easy for them, especially now. Makes me feel kind of bad to be exited about a singleplayer RPG in WH40k universe. I wonder what exactly this means for the development of the game- Will it still involve WoW style hotkey-based combat? Or...

eeyup. I'm male, love the show. First season was pretty damn good, all told, and second is shaping up... alright. Looking forward to Saturday, that's for sure. :starts humming winter-wrap-up:

Second game I ever played? X-wing. Third? Tie Fighter. Fourth? X-wing alliance. TAKE MY MONEY. TAKE IT ALLL!

Oh yes, I love the lore. WH40k is the lore I like best, I can just go on the lexicanum and read for ages, but I read the star wars universe books and the star trek books and surf memory alpha and so on. If a game does the lore credit, then I'll generally play the game simply for lore's sake.
