Uncharted Waters Online. I'm still catching up in that game after a hiatus of almost half a year. I might also throw in Metal Slug Defense for a while just for the hell of it.

Very true... and I just realized the costs of keeping a jungle base summer home air-conditioned. Hmm. I might have to hire engineers to develop a way to use rainfall to keep the costs of summer home-wide HVAC systems down. This is gonna hurt. :/

Well... First thing that'd have to be done if I end up so lucky is to pay off pretty much every outstanding debt I can think of, and hire someone to track down the debts I might have forgotten about. From there, health insurance and life insurance policies that guarantee that everyone in the...

That was a very noble move on 11 Bit Stuidos' part, and Zajaczkowski's statement was the icing on the cake. By stating that inability to afford the game is one of the reasons piracy happens, as well as sympathizing with that reason, he's showing that he understands that some software pirates...

Y'know, that's been bugging me also. I'll admit that one of my own quirks is that I've always subscribed to the classic 'adventure,' 'action,' 'FPS,' 'RPG,' things like that. So I did some studying of the three games (in the cases of Dear Esther and Gone Home, without buying them; it's not...

Figured I'd chime in on this, considering this is the first thing I found out about when I woke up. Up until three months ago, Jimquisition was one of the reasons aside from ZP that I even knew about The Escapist. It was honestly good to see someone willing to tell AAA and indies alike off...

Did you pick up the recipe?

*headdesks, laughing his ass off* God bless and keep you, I needed that laugh. But yeah, no. No armies. There'd be too much infighting about who designs the uniforms.

It's worse than complete garbage, it's an attempt from WB Games to control a narrative that almost unanimously (there's always gonna be a naysayer nowadays) would've given it glowing reviews anyway. It's probably a good thing I didn't buy the game yet, I'd have definitely felt like I sinned...

...let me get this straight, the guy took a picture of you while you were laughing at a podcast? I'd say laughing at something you're listening to is normal public behavior and has been since the days of the Walkman. I'd be kind of nervous about someone taking a picture of me laughing, though...

Part of me is actually wondering if anyone playtested it before saying 'looks good to me.'

It really depends on the cold-caller. Outbound sales reps for products I'm familiar with are easy: I politely advise them that I'm registered on the national DNC list, and the few cases where I've gotten calls from other ISPs, I let them know I'm happy with the one I have, and let them know...

I think part of it is that wide-open sandbox games aren't as restrictive as a traditional RPG would be. While it's true that the freeform design of your average sandbox game allow for larger degrees of sociopathy, it's balanced out for the most part by a 'wanted meter': the more you take part...

I've honestly never put any thought into how I score games, but I generally rate five categories separately (Story/Premise, Gameplay, Graphics [compared to other titles on the system in question for the most part], Sound/Music and Replayability) and the overall score is the average of them...

Kinda sounds like GunBound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GunBound). I remember there was a clone game being hosted at Aeria Games that was a lot like it, but the name's escaping me and that one was just limited to a red and a blue team.
