I've played a LOT of characters, and the ones that I've been having the most fun with recently are the ones that are over-the-top to the max. My Tempest Cleric entered the last fight using Thaumaturgy to call fireworks and blast Thunderstruck by AC/DC, and my Sorcerer casts Prestidigitation to...

The best buy I worked at is one of the biggest in the area. We got 16, sold out before the doors opened, and then turned away customers all day while we watched them go up for $250+ on ebay.

I mean, I *could* pay over $200 for just under a TB of storage, or I could pay ~$150 for a 4 tb hdd and actually fit all my games. SSD is nice, and I would always include *some* in a build, but at least until the prices come down, I'm 100% rocking dual drives.

Sandisk and PNY have had portable SSDs out for months. Why is this news?

If you already own a mac, you can clone the hard drive to get a hackintosh running. Otherwise, no.

If it makes a difference, I work at a Best Buy in Minnesota (the northern US, for you foreigners), and we let people demo the PS VR for free 3 days a week.

Yeah, they put a hold on all trades and market transactions coming out of your account unless you download the Steam app and link your account to it. It's a terrible idea, for a lot of reasons.

On the other hand, the entire system is predicated on people owning a smartphone. I don't. So now I can't get rid of all these useless trading cards and get an actual game or some DLC with the money because they kneecapped their Market system in the name of "security".

I have actually survived the bomb several times; the damage does appear to drop off after a certain distance, and I'm pretty sure I saw a marker showing the edge of the blast radius. That said, it is definitely a bit much, though I suck at D.VA and haven't managed to get her ult *once*, so I...

I think (or maybe hope is more accurate) that a well-played Bastion that takes advantage of all their abilities will be viable at high level play, since he's an absolute terror if he's got good support from the rest of his team. Having played a good amount as him, I can counter just about any...

Man, that graph is 100% worthless. The Y-axis is "Relative VR Gaming Performance"? What does that even mean? Those numbers have no units! What VR experiences are they testing with? And I care about how well it handles AAA games, not some VR "experience" made in Unity for college credit!

Bats in literally everything. If I could make one game development thing illegal, it would be including bats as enemies in your game. They pop up everywhere, they fly (which is almost always a problem in platforming games or games where you can't attack in all directions), they usually have...

I voted "no", but I only voted no because my favorite series is the Fallout series that Bethesda's been doing, which with new settings and keeping at roughly the same point in the timeline could theoretically go on forever. For a game series in which the story is sequential, ending the series...

On the one hand, everything ANet has done so far feels like they're punishing early adopters to get new people invested. On the other hand, I friggin love Guild Wars, so if it's necessary to do this to keep the servers running, I guess I have to be ok with it.

I mean, the usual mind-blank of choice for most shut-ins I know is booze, not pot. You black out instead of just getting high, it's legal to anyone 21 or over, so it's easy to get a hold of, and as far as I know, it's easier to maintain drunkenness than a high.
