@Powerlord Steele and co. didn't show up, but a lawyer for them did. Gibbs got raked over the coals, the real Alan Cooper showed up and played intimidating voicemail messages he got from Steele, Verizon directly contradicts Gibbs with the fact that they had not been informed of the stay of discovery, etc., etc.

we wait more than 10 years for this, f--k very much blizzard, was sc2 a bad space soup opera a bad hollywood story, what happened with the dadark intelligent story of sc1. All the technology and good visual art, can´t hide the junk story is sc2, respect the old fans and new fans with a good story that will last not something who will rise and dissapear fast like coca cola Froth. Greedy pays more than art i supossed. Did they spent the whole budget in the game except to have a good writer.

I love metacritic reviews. So intelligently written!

To de-zerg Kerrigan.

Sconibulus

Oh... de-zerg Kerrigan? Then how does this game work?

fbueckert

@Sconibulus Well, mostly de-zerg.

Part of it is the fact there's a bigger baddie around.

So they all gotta band together.

Sconibulus

ahh... so you're playing Kerrigan as a non-zerg trying to subdue the zerg to try to get them to help take out the hybrid beasties?

@Sconibulus I dunno

I just finished Wing of Liberty.

And Blizzard can die in a fire until they add offline play to D3.

Ben Brocka

Open VS project. Release profile is pointing to test server. Debug profile is pointing to production server. FFS

Sterno

@fbueckert Always-online D3 would be worth it if it allowed you to send your character to EA's SimCity servers and start murdering the city populations.

fbueckert

@Sterno I would support this greatly.

Or building hell cities.

And running your heroes through those.

Because, really, there's not much imagination going on, for hell.

Q: Why is the default game speed "Faster"?

It comes across a little confusing for faster to be the default game speed. You hear about attack and upgrade timings in terms of minutes and it turns out people are talking about minutes in game time when in reality its much sooner than that. I personally feel it would make more sense to speed...

@AshleyNunn And AVATARS!

Fluttershy

@AshleyNunn Probably for the best. Sony's been talking up the Vita and it's interaction with the PS4, but honestly... There've been maybe... 4 new Vita releases since I got mine. And most of what's coming this year are just ports of PC titles.

@StrixVaria It's not bad, especially for a free game that's created by a single developer

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz SHOCK AND DELIGHT

user15026

@Fluttershy Ah, okay, then it might not be so worth it

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

I do hate the fact that it features a single unskippable cutscene right at the start, especially when the game was crashing on me right after that single cutscene

LessPop_MoreFizz

Oh man oh man, this one has a REFERENCE CARD.

Ben Brocka

@DanHulme Yeah, that's an upgrade over the Wii at least, but I'd like to see more mid-range priced DLC games like are common on 360/PS3. Currently they have just super basic and/or low quality stuff for the most part, closer to mobile games

(Running the game as administrator fixed it for some reason)

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz It just keeps getting better and better

user15026

@BenBrocka Thats my problem with the 3ds stuff too

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka So, kinda like the Wii's disc based game library? AAA first party titles, and then huge piles of shovelware.

@StrixVaria Defender's Quest for $3!

Anybody who doesn't own it should buy it!

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy there have been quite a few on the PSN I think

@LessPop_MoreFizz The thing about the wallpapers isn't so much that they have them, it's just they're so lame. They look like in-game screenshots which anybody can throw together in 5 minutes. I don't know why they even bother.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fbueckert *with the purchase of 4 other games. :/

Ben Brocka

@LessPop_MoreFizz well, at least the huge piles of shovelware aren't $50

LessPop_MoreFizz

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That varies from game to game. Some games have decent wallpapers.

fbueckert

@LessPop_MoreFizz Not perfect, no.

Fluttershy

@BenBrocka Quite a few Vita titles? Or quite a few ports of older PSP/PSOne games?

Ben Brocka

4:47 PM

@Fluttershy Lots and lots of those. But I've seen a few full vita games pop up in the store. Not as many as I'd like of course

It's a shame, it's really good hardware

Fluttershy

Wtf, Math?

@BenBrocka It is. I find myself only looking forward to Tearaway though.

Ben Brocka

I just ignore the math flags unless someone's spouting obscenities. Because they do that too

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Are they flagging junk again?

Fluttershy

@fbueckert Yyyyyep.

Ben Brocka

@Fluttershy tearaway's sure to be awesome

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fbueckert something about half naked burger flippers

Fluttershy

"Hot half naked burger flipping ninja girls."

fbueckert

@LessPop_MoreFizz Pfft. We talk about way worse than that in here.

Ben Brocka

I prefer entirely naked burgers, thanks. Saves on carbs

fredley

@BenBrocka I'll have my burgers fully clothed thank you very much

Q: Will I keep my league placement if i don't play any more than the 5 placement games?

I just played 5 really good matches and got placed in a high league. If i don't play any more (to risk losing more games and dropping) will i stay where I am or drop down in the rankings? I aiming for the 'Finished a season in a 1v1 Master Division' achievement.

@Fluttershy Only if she flips the burgers with a katana

+5 points for flipping with the sharp side of the blade without cutting it

Grace Note

@LessPop_MoreFizz Someone was calling another user that. The other user wasn't happy, but I have no idea who flagged it, and the messages were written 2 days ago so the whole thing is rather confusing.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GraceNote So basically, just like every other math flag.

Grace Note

Actually less sense than other Math flags I've seen.

LessPop_MoreFizz

They always seem to come two days late and feel super passive aggressive, and generally are for things like "this person is not talking about math."
