Thank you for this thread, did not realize that all monitors are not created equally.
Edit: Why would you say dual monitors are necessary?

So we're still exploring space but just not with people? Time to tell my kid he can't be an astronaut after all.

torchlight was just straight up bad. and boring. d2, in comparison, still rocks.
I find it weird that so many people dislike Torchlight. It is essentially Diablo I with a few new features and different art style. I can spend hours trudging through the dungeons just like I did when I played Diablo as a kid, still my favorite game of the series. Honestly I'm looking forward to Torchlight II just as much as Diablo III.
Still, +1 on the overpowered thing, very little of the game feels as challenging as Diablo I did.

Also really liked the game play and pacing in Singularity, but the lack of subtitles was so ridiculous. Also there were only like 3 models for the huddled up bodies on the floor and whenever you kill the first monsters, so some of the first stages kind of irked me with how mundane they were.
The game was cool but the whole time I was playing I kept thinking, "if only they would have had a little more time and money".

Even if the map layout doesn't work as a logo, it would make an awesome t-shirt!

I also will probably get this, but I would have liked if they included The Room, or at least the PSP Origins, which makes since being a PSP exclusive.

That's the one. Rick is right about the shield thing though, makes it seem more like Map Corps.

Saw this coming, but that just makes it more sad. She had an incredible voice and Back to Black was an amazing album. RIP

Quote from csyver
i understand that they need a game (with a large audience) to move consumers towards their own platform, but i don't think it's a good idea using BF3 for this. don't they have enough with just competing against mw3? why not just create incentives to use origin (cheaper, dlc availability, origin integration, whatever) instead of telling all your steam customers to go fuck themselves?
convenience.
Incentives is something this industry really needs to get a grip on. Penalizing people for renting a video game or trading one in is a ridiculous idea, as is limiting your methods of distribution.
In independent music, you have to put your music on iTunes because, hell, its iTunes, even though you made more money off sales from your website or Bandcamp. You don't take your music off iTunes because they take a cut, you use incentives (including just educating the consumer) to drive customers to your website instead.
and thank you Puddy.

I think you're making to much out of it. Maybe some people are making it a matter of ethical fabric, but I think its more of convenience.
Steam is an established platform, its stable, relatively convenient and has a great community.
In my opinion certain things only function properly as a monopoly, and community/social products are one of those things. Take something like Facebook for example, it doesn't work if it has 2 or 3 competitors as it splinters the community, thus defeating the point.
Is EA entitled to their money? Sure, but are they really making more money than by limiting their distribution methods? Seems like backwards thinking to me.
