    Saints Row dev: "Xbox 720 used game ban would be fantastic."

    I see. So what you are saying is, it is the STORES that deserve your support for all they do for you. The devs though, the people who actually make these games, who devote thousands of manhours and millions of dollars into something for your entertainment, no, fuck them. They don't...

    Saints Row dev: "Xbox 720 used game ban would be fantastic."

    You seem to have a serious misunderstanding of the word 'used' and I'm not certain where it comes from. EVERY DOLLAR FROM EVERY USED GAME STAYS IN THE STORE AND DOES NOT BENEFIT THE DEV OR PUBLISHER AT ALL. Those copies of Hard Rain each sold once, and then were returned and from the...

    Saints Row dev: "Xbox 720 used game ban would be fantastic."

    because the used games market permits companies like Gamestop to sell their products multiple times without ever paying them a dime. Not one penny from any used game sold reaches the people to developed or published the game. Not one. What is amazing here is that you expect the industry...

    Psychonauts 2 is happening. Because Notch.

    Thanks for pointing that out, it did get a late port to PS2. So long as we're pointing out each other's mistakes, it's 'you're.'

    (edit: multiple edits, people get pissy when i get facts wrong. i get facts wrong because i'm posting drunk at whateverthehelloclock in the morning. lesson learned, wait for sobriety. because people get seriously pissy over minor corrections.) So, small background: Once upon a time, there...

    Poll: How Happy Are You Being Single?

    Well. I don't know her at all, but i have heard those phrases together plenty of times: 'single and quite happy about it' means, in my experience, one of precisely two things: 1)'i am getting laid just fine and am pleased with not being tied to a single person.' 2)'you seem like a nice...

    Mass effect gets hi-res tex- wait...zomg Tali's face!

    Gentlemen. The internet. Well, a big part of it is that the Asari all have intrinsic biotic powers - imagine them like a race of fairly powerful telekinetics with some serious telepathic abilities. They're all female and look like literally whatever you want them to look like, they...

    Best Let's Plays

    Well, all of the ones i linked are especially hilarious, especially creative LPs that all use a narrative to tell the LP, instead of just plain commentary. TIE-Fighter is basically a legend, the LPer 'can't find his disc' so he 'recreates' the whole game from memory with MSPaint. Hilarity...

    Why is steam so bad and yet so awesome?!?

    Ah hah, the tables have turned and now I am the lucky one. No steam patch has broken any of my games, and I do own both FO3 and NV. (Well, apart from Dungeon Defenders' overpatching ruining most of the fun of the game and screwing up all the balances, but that's just my opinion.) And...

    Why is steam so bad and yet so awesome?!?

    Goddamned auto-updating? Every time a patch is released for any game have installed, it downloads automatically. How... how is that a bad thing? Hey, lucky you. Me and several thousand other people were not so lucky. Lucky for us, a fix was up on the Steam forum. (Also, I didn't...

    Why is steam so bad and yet so awesome?!?

    It's more than likely your computer. I have dozens of games on steam, none of them crash because of steam. If you are having trouble with a specific game, check the Steam forums. Some games don't play well with newer systems. (Fallout 3, for example, doesn ot know how to deal with...

    ^ His LP for RE4 is comedy gold. Also, the LP for Dwarf Fortress: Boatmurdered is classic entertainment. http://lparchive.org/ Start there. Never leave.
