Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Why on earth is Vivendi selling them? That's a bit silly.

Also, in other news, after the storms we had yesterday (being trapped in the grocery store when it was storming so bad that you could not see out the windows at all was actually kinda awesome) we have no power at our house. Wheeeee. My aunt is awesome and got us a hotel room until tomorrow, though, so at least until then I'll be online, and hopefully it'll be fixed by then. Not hoping too hard on that, though, they always take too long to fix things when the power's out...

We had a thunderstorm yesterday as well. Nothing nearly as bad as what you describe here though. Makes me glad that I live in a country that rarely gets anything even close to extreme weather.

Yeah, they must think now's the best time to sell.

Amon and Korra for life.

The problem I see with selling now comes to this: putting Activision Blizzard up for sale now, while it may not be trending off, could put a negative stigma that does turn into a decrease in profit.

Korra will go to an OC.

After both of them realize what a gold digger Mako is.

Him getting Asami should make up for all the shit he was put through. mmm

Not Bolin or Iroh?

Indeed.

Eh...Bolin and her never really gelled for me(he is just comparatively better than Mako). Iroh seemed too old(dunno if he is) and I just didn't see it.

Granted, I'll probably give her to no one. Nothing wrong with a single gal I guess.

Anyone else in here getting that annoying Crackle pop up?

I have Adblock Plus so I never experience pop ups of any form.

Firefox superiority bitches!

I wish the crackled thing would lead you to cracked instead.

Anybody seen Ted?

No, planning to see The Amazing Spiderman instead.

also. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/118247-Your-Health-Will-Regenerate-in-Resident-Evil-6

I thought Resident evil will be the last game series I see that would have regentive health even if its just partial regen. Horror is dead.

Fun fact: The Amazing Spider-Man releases on my birthday.

That said, sounds like they're using Mass Effect's take on health, which would work if there were an alternate defensive mechanic that's meant to be primary (a la shields/barriers), and it weren't a scenario where you're very clearly not meant to be able to just run away until you feel a bit better.

Horror isn't dead.

It's been dead. For a long time.

Also, happy birthday Xan. Congrats on being one year closer to death.

*All his points are terrible and he ignores important details that undermine his argument*

Lol.

Thank Blax. I'm looking forward to the eventual transition. Just not anytime soon. 😄

I almost agree with him until towards the end on the theme. He's just plain wrong on that. Mass Effect 2's central theme was about getting a bunch off different kinds of races to fight as one against a common foe. And that's just on one of main themes the game has.

I don't even like the series and didn't even finish the 3rd one and I can come up with a better analsizes than that. And worst plot for a gaming sequal? Dude never played ultima 9 ,FF X2, C&C tiberian Twilight?

Well the power supply for my Xbox 360 Slim is acting weird and no store even sells it. FML.

He keeps saying that the theme is Loyalty at one point, which doesn't make any sense because he acknowledges that Loyalty is just a gameplay mechanic and has no affect on the actual plot before that.

The only part I thought he had a point on was the arbitrary correct choices for the Suicide Mission. I do think that there should have been a few more of them because it would have made sense in a few cases.

That said, it does make sense that the Tech expert is one of the choices in the game, no-one else has the skills and Jacob, Miranda and Garrus are the ones most experienced at leading a team, although I would add Zaeed to that list for the choices for 2nd team leaders.
