Just read this in the Bluesnews discussions: - Is it true that Star Citizen could be the Donald Trump of game development? - It's way worse. It could be Marilyn Manson - cult-like and batshit insane.
I bet it will be even better than Master of Orion III ;-)
I don't think that gamers "love" Windows 10 so far, as there are tons of compatibility problems, especially with older games. Gamers love Windows 7, and I suspect it will stay that way at least for a year...
I have LH as well, but I think I was given it as a compensation for Elemental (I was an early dropper), and I have been known to criticize the series, so I was not offered any such thing. I don't mind, though, I was given enough free stuff from Stardock, based on my Elemental purchase.
If it's wireless, it's always vulnerable.
AgaresOak - there are better ways to dilute card pool for arena, or to create crappy 2-drops to weaken cards like the shredder - I remember there will be a card from TGT (forgot the name) that is a 2/3 for 2, I think, and it creates a mana crystal as battlecry, and destroys on deathrattle. If this falls out of a shredder, and gets immediately killed, that would be a huge disaster. Ice Rager from Magma Rager is poor power creep, and understandably, Kripparrian rubs
AgaresOaks - read your writeup, interesting insights, but while introducing the new TGT cards, Blizzards have clearly shown that rather than to buff the terrible old cards nobody actually plays, they release the buffed version of the old card as a new card, to make more money and to push the old garbage in card packs as a filler. I mean - an old card, Magma Rager, a 5/1 card for 3 mana - absolute garbage, nobody plays it, ever. With TGT, they are releasing a new card, Ice
Alstein - Heathstone is not "extremely P2W", I disagree. Hearthstone offers the Arena. There is an entrance fee, true, but you can pay 150 gold you can collect on daily quests, and if you are good enough, you can win back much more - cards, dust, gold. Good arena players are able to maintain their gold balance while playing one arena round after another. Moreover, you cannot pay to get advantage in arena even if you wanted to. Constructed is another matter, yes,
I win about 5 times in arena on average, which makes my balance so-so. Last arena run I won a pack of GvG cards, 60 gold and 60 dust, which is not bad, since a pack is worth 100 gold, and admission fee is 150 gold, so the profit was 10 gold and 60 dust - and it's the dust that is valuable. Other time I won 5 times, but I won again a pack, and 110 gold in total, which is worse value - I would prefer the dust. And yes, I prefer arena more too, at least it&
I have been playing Hearthstone for a few months, and as a chessplayer, I find a lot of charm and depth in the game. There are combinations similar to chess tactics, there are not so obvious ways to play a hand to squeeze the maximum potential, there is the meta with a lot of strategic thought and mind play, and there are of course the wonderful players like Kripparrian who selflessly share their deep insights and observations about the game with the community. However, each tim

Nice cartoon, except that the existence of global warming is proven beyond doubt. So... fail?
This summer is a definitive proof that global warming is really just a great hoax. The conspiring scientists even go so far as to pool their money for heating fuel and heat lamps to increase the temperature artificially. Sneaky scientist bastards.
You need to boot from a different media, preferrably a read-only flash or CD with a system and some kind of virus/malware scanner, and check your computer. If you try to scan from the potentially compromised PC, a rootkit can hide the malware from you. Moreover, you can pit the PC that is behind a router caplable of dumping and analyzing network traffic, or at least dumping the traffic via a filter like pcap into a file, and then use traffic analysis software like Wireshark to see whe
Although the graphics of SK are significantly improved, it still shares the problems of its predecessors, namely dead AI (independent factions do not do a thing), mediocre tactical combat, and many old bugs that were never corrected.
Well I have played Baldur's gate, though not to till the end, and while there are Easter eggs and jokes, the main theme is serious, and most of the conversation and quests are consistent with the main theme and style. In SK it's annoying, because there is too much of it and the impression is similar to a teenage kid who runs around a medieval castle and draws Hitler-style mustaches to all the historical portraits. Do you find it funny? Some may, I do not. Certainly not w
I know Stardock hired some allegedly known author named Bucholz to improve the writing, and I know that taste in humor may differ greatly (especially the American and European concepts of humor), but the main problem is that the short texts accompanying quests, etc. are absolutely out of context with the rest of the game, and they go against the whole theme and atmosphere of the game. The theme of the game is serious and grim (if a bit cliched) - the world is about to be destroyed whi
I played a bit of that one with a friend, and it's clunky as hell. Reminiscent of the old hit Dark Lands, a solid gothic setting without Tolkienish flotsam like dragons, fireballs and elves is a welcome change. However, the plot contains some rather stupid, stupid moments.
Google is a known NSA front. However, if you have nothing to hide, there is no reason for fear ;-)
I thought those tornadoes are just an urban legend.
Your lack of faith in the Empire disturbs Darth Vader.
starkers - Bible? Are you serious? Isn't that the book that claims world has been created in 7 days, and if you fly high enough, you will see "all the kingdoms on the Earth"? And that sea will part so that a few people can cross without getting wet, and that a man can live in a belly of a whale for days, and that people can die and then come back to life as if nothing happens? Way to pick credible sources, man.
Last commit on github 5 months old, probably vulnerable to the recently discovered Logjam attack = useless browser.
Their practices are nothing short of horrendous. Recently, they have blocked whole /18 block of addresses because there was a botnet in one of the /24 subnets. I asked them to remove the /18 subnet blocking so that unrelated and innocent customers sending legitimate mail are not affected by this, but no, self-righteous crusaders have to be "firm". Similar was SPEWS/APEWS that stopped maintaining their lists altogether, resulting in huge amount of
Why are you surprised? Ballmer was an idiot, just check his onstage monkey dance on youtube. He had zero technical knowledge and vision, and his pet project was a computer screen on a kitchen table (the original Surface). But he was probably good in one thing - he knew how to climb the corporate laddar, and how to surround himself with loyal idiots to exchange favors with. The company took a nosedive under his direction, basically everything from his era was wrong, Windo
