Digital deluxe?
I got it backwards. Deluxe Digital Promotion. If you bought the Wii U Deluxe/the one with the bigger hard drive you were put into a program where you get 10% credit back. Once you earn $5 worth of credit you can get a redemption code to use it in the eShop. Good times.
FFS, kids.
I totally forgot about that robio. I have spent over $50 on the store I think.
If you haven't done it yet don't worry your old purchases should be added retroactively.
Now I'm writing on a touch screen. I have already seen and played more than enough to justify the wii u pad and I fundamentally disagree with this same notion that we had on Wii that there has to be one big huge title that shows without a shadow of doubt why it's useful or not. The U pad is added functionality a toolkit that can be used in many different ways, it's added value to many experiences, the system is powerful enough to produce great looking and playing games and if a game is great I'm hardly going to quibble if the touch screen use doesn't categorically BLOW ME AWAY EACH AND EVERY TIME. I could write a whole article on what the second screen and the console itself has brought to my experience, both in terms of gaming and other functionality. In fact I'm using its excellent touch screen internet app right now to write this whilst watching a movie on the big screen.It's great for gaming too and I only own about 5 games it's added a lot to the experience. Overall with games + other features it's easily justified it's existence to me and I use it almost every day, even when not playing games. By the time Mario Kart comes out in Spring next year it'll have a great library too.
EDIT - this GAFFER nailed it - "By that logic the DS is a piece of shit because a lot of games just use the bottom screen as a map. Not every game needs to use system features in the best way possible to justify said system features existence. It's great when they do, and Nintendo should certainly be trying to do so as much as they can, but a game that doesn't use it isn't damnation."
Stop your whining and start using a computer with buttons. Sometimes I really hate technology, finding new ways to do shit we could do before, but only worse. Like touch screen typing.
And a novel really? Maybe GG, but mine was not that huge!
Leo to appear in 1..2..3...
Leave tochscrn typo hit alone.
How so? Sounds great!
UK bans porn?!
http://www.torontosun.com/2013/07/23/online-porn-banned-in-britain
Online porn will be blocked by default by every british ISP, unless the single user decides to "opt-in" and expressly request the deactivation of family filters for his household. Suddely lying about porn to the wives in Britain has become a lot mharder, as they simply need to make a call and see if their husbands have deactivated family filters.
GG get out now!!!
People tell me I look like Ryan Braun...
That's not a good thing at the moment is it?

Interesting EA financial info
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=632301
So EA made money, who cares. What is interesting is the breakdown of how they made money as it gives us great insight into where this industry is headed.
Q1 FY14 revenue by platform
Xbox360 256 million
PS3 238 million
PC 298 million
So PC the big money maker for EA. Well thats surprising. They still make more on all consoles combined but PC doing very well for them.
How about digital sales, here is their breakdown:
Digital revenue breakdown for the quarter:
Full game download: 37 million
extra content: 177 million
subs/ads/other: 61 million
mobile/HH: 103 million
Look how much money DLC or Free to play extra content makes them. Tons. Here is digital revenue by platform:
PC 144 million
Console 131 million
Smart phone/Tablet 90 million
Feature phone/other 13 million
PC leads again, this time more than all consoles combined.
This from their slides
Digital Revenue: Increased by 17% year-over-year to $378 million, and accounted for 76% of Q1 revenue
CHEATER!!!!
I wish!
I'm usually the one who gets cheated ... sad unsuspecting bastard that I am

I'd rather imagine you look like Colin Farrell karate chopping Peter Dinklage.
Damn, all that revenue for EA. it's a wonder they don't go into the console business.
then again, I'd guess they would lose a ton of sales that way, limiting themselves to one console.
