  1. Why Tom Francis is great: http://www.computera...entry/?site=pcg http://www.computera...iary-days-1-26/ http://www.computera...ge=4#top_banner Sean, why am I not getting invites to these great and terrible parties?
  2. No no, you misunderstand, that wasn't a "oh boy, fuck that guy" sarcasm thing, I genuinely love his writing. E: Oops, it actually turns out I'm thinking of Tom Francis, but Iron Quinns is also quite good.
  3. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    I'm more confused about "casual hardcore console gaming public" as a whole, 'blix.
  4. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    What?
  5. Quintin Smith is writing ridiculous articles again, hooray!
  6. Homophobic?

    Oh gods no, I don't agree with that particular piece, maybe he does have some good stuff but I couldn't say.
  7. Homophobic?

    Sorry, linking propaganda posters from decades ago does not support your argument. (That is not to say racism and intolerance is not a thing today, but you are looking too far and wide for support of your argument. Even the stupidest politicians don't go "Rome fell because of market depreciation!")
  8. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    It is a 100 dollar console to play smart phone/tablet games on a TV. In other words: A bad idea.
  9. Homophobic?

    There's using words to hurt someone and then there's being prudish.
  10. Sid Meier's Civilization V

    To be fair I'm good whenever with a couple days notice so I can ruin my sleep schedule.
  11. Sid Meier's Civilization V

    I'm good with that.
  12. There's no way he was buffed with the track record he has when I see people play him in DotA 2. (I know he was, but outside of my groups occasional miracle games and that one guy that went 43/2/1 with Axe I've seen exactly zero good Axe players.)
  13. I still wish we could do a Tekkit/Enderpack server. (A Redpower sorting system.)
  14. He is still not a hero you should pick unless one or two things are true. A. The enemy team is full of people against whom you can quickly farm a blink dagger, max Berserker's Call and blink in and utterly destroy before anyone else shows up. or B. You like being the reason your team loses. Guess which one happens more often? (Other heroes that play by a similar ruleset with minor differences to option B: Sniper, Alchemist. Please do not let success with these heroes dilute your opinion of them, they are bad.) Also, while buying two stout shields and intercepting the enemy long lane creep wave between T1 and T2 is hilarious, the moment they catch on you die.
  15. Recently completed video games

    Not around here, no.
  16. Movie/TV recommendations

    And well it should, what an absolutely great movie. Do watch the Director's Cut, I beg of you.

    The good thing about Binary Domain is that the story is the pulpiest, most Tom Clancy rip-off stuff I have seen in a long time, and the overacting makes it absolutely wonderful. The gameplay itself is decent but nothing revolutionary in the realm of cover-based third-person shooters.
  18. I'm glad the Congrats Nick sign in the tree got shown off, even it was at 1FPS. That tree was probably the last thing I'll ever do in MC.
  19. Recently completed video games

    The extent to which Binary Domain is not-shit may shock and surprise you.
  20. Rezzed

    Oh man, can I somehow coerce you into giving me a look at Gunpoint without coming to Rezzed?
  21. The threat of Big Dog

    Rats, on the back of cats, chasing dogs!
  22. The Secret World

    The combat is clunky and doesn't have any feeling to it, it's a pretty standard MMO fare in terms of quests, it's an incredible pain in the ass to quest with even a few people around. The dungeons are cool, but are pretty much the only redeeming feature I found.
