  1. I've been learning how to actually make Visage viable (the secret is impeccable Familiar micro, lane pressure, and not playing him in pubs) so his slight buff is a nice sight. Also played Meepo for the first time in four and a half years last night, and wasn't a complete travesty!
  2. Civilization V

    Did you pre-order X-Com, 'blix? The final weird (and frankly I think this new system is fucked to high heaven) pre-order bonus for enough X:COM pre-orders is a copy of Civ 5 vanilla, which has been reached, as I got one yesterday as well.
  3. If there are three or less people in the assist queue/radius. Four and five person kills still mete out the same payday.
  4. It's not enough to take him out of the "never played" or "played by a select few small gods" bracket.
  5. Hawken, or: Fuck Me, Mech Games Are BACK!

    Is no very good.
  6. Prison Architect

    I think not supporting the game because they made some questionable decisions about storytelling, but you like the core gameplay is... well.
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    But it's the future, and racism has been demolished in space, right? Right?
  8. Prison Architect

    I'm pretty sure the sandbox mode is going to stay so I'm not sure what you're mad about. You can even skip the tutorial.
  9. Prison Architect

    The tutorial is fucked up but as the game is developed so far such things do not return.
  10. No no, I wasn't agreeing with the shitty part. I just mean that yes, you can build S&Y, but only on a few people.
  11. It's situational, but even so it's situational on maybe four people and new people build it on everybody.
  12. Prison Architect

    So I went in on this, because frankly as much as I love other kinds of games, management sims are what got me into gaming and I will never get tired of them. Watching the story play out as you see an inmate grab a knife from the cantina, wondering whether to have him searched or not and then letting it reach its conclusion is pretty great.
  13. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Would vote for, if they were supporting anti-Shaka policies.
  14. There sure is! Real talk; There really isn't anything super basic, but DotACinema's Introductions and Basic Hero Guides can get you started on heroes. You can chat me up on Steam and I'll watch a replay through with you and explain basics if you'd like. http://www.youtube.com/user/DotaCinema/videos?flow=grid&view=1
  15. Misspent Youth

    To be fair, if you don't know Irenicus' opening spiel by heart you're a bad person.
  16. Life

    Sensory deprivation, mostly. A couple hours in the pool at night.

    Pandemic could work if it runs quickly enough. I'd say Ticket to Ride, honestly. I was mostly joking about Arkham Horror because it's the sort of game where the mechanics create the atmosphere rather than it being a good story device or anything like that, so you have to be crazy to appreciate it.
  18. Watching through BSG again, I had somehow forgotten about Fatdama.
  19. Breaking Bad

    Unfortunately, it's; Don't like how it fits, personally.
  20. Torchlight II

    Gone. The game doesn't have that anymore, it's one of the first changes they confirmed.
  21. Dishonored - or - GIFs By Breckon

    Well, I've been keeping a closer eye on Dishonored's dev video series since I posted that last link, and went ahead and prepurchased. I didn't go for the Best Buy thing, as great as that lamp would be, but I'm expecting good things here. After a summer of heavy action games and deep strategy like Endless Space and Dark Souls, it'll be nice to have another RPG to sink my teeth into. Also they have Brad Dourif so I really had no choice.
  22. Life

    Ask if they have Arkham Horror. If yes, flee.
