Looks good to me.

I'd rather have DLC that looks like this instead of some tacked on island added to the game.

I am finishing up Underworld by DeLillo and am enjoying it quite a bit.

Awesome link.

The whole small area to work with definitely bothers me the most. It seems like to have the most successful city you will have to have it filled with tightly compacted residential high rises and industrial/commercial parks. Hong Kong simulator.

It is, and I'll grab it on there. I was just surprised to see it was not on Greenlight, seems like it would do well there.

Played a bit of the demo just now and really enjoyed it. Went on Steam to see if it was part of Greenlight and was surprised to see it was not. Oh well. I'll probably grab this sometime in the near future.

Looks interesting, I'll check it out.

Thanks for the rundown on these mods. Probably going to give that CK2Plus one a go.

His documentary "Anybody's Son Will Do" is also worth watching if you haven't yet.

I looked up Twilight Struggle and may have to try and track a copy of it down. The real problem would be forcing one of my roommates to play with me/finding a friend to play with.

Dug the episode.

I own it for console and enjoyed it. It's not amazing by any stretch but it's fun for what it is and it has a few funny moments. Neat soundtrack also.

I have a Kindle Fire which I like a lot. I still do most of my reading via actual books but I like being able to convert a lot of zines and what not with Calibre to the Kindle format and having them on there.

I tend to read two books at a time, one work of fiction and then I generally am reading something like history or philosophy. If one text is more interesting I end up focusing on that one a bit more.

Awesome, just bought the game when it was on sale on Steam so I am looking forward to hearing this.

I've never fainted but I've collapsed due to exhaustion and once due to a blow to the head.

I enjoy both Alien and Aliens, I approach each film differently I guess. I don't go into Aliens imaging I am going to get the same atmosphere as Alien. When the CMs show up at the beginning I am pretty sure all pre-texts about the film being more horror focused as the original was goes out the door.

Three Moves Ahead, Idle Thumbs, the book podcast.

I wonder how review embargos and lack of demos aid in this?

Here comes the developer finger pointing. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/02/12/someone-else-mostly-made-colonial-marines-mostly/

It's unfortunate that this game seems to have turned out so poorly.

My only problem with these games, and as others have pointed out, is the repetitive nature of the missions. I like the look and feel of the games but I find each time I progress to the next island I am just fighting reskinned versions of the bad guys from the last one in slightly more difficult scenarios I've already been through. The user created mission aspect of inFamous 2 was neat but I just never really found any I enjoyed and got turned off of trying them out rather quickly.

Just grabbed this when it was on sale on Steam yesterday. Have to say I am very pleased with it so far.
