Good lord that is crazy.
Done, 100%. Great game.
What is that? One of The mods? Is that how it looks on your system? That's sweet.
Well I never said I was going PC only and wasn't playing consoles anymore though. But if you have a powerful PC, it really IS the ultimate platform for MOST games. Obviously once in awhile somebody half asses a PC version of a given game, but for the most part you get superior versions for a cheaper price. Its not a win win situation since obviously you have to shell out the cash for the hardware & at least somewhat know what you're doing if you run into problems. But if you have the hardware and know how to use it, its great.
I am really loving Tomb Raider...fuck me its different but so damn good and keeps getting better. Crystal Dynamics have really upped their game over the past few years. Back in the late 90's they seemed like one of the best up and coming developers...then they kind of faded & seemed destined for obscurity for awhile. But once they started working with Tomb Raider, they've gotten better and better over the past 6 years & now feel like an elite developer again.
If this is where they are at now, I really hope the rumors of a Legacy Of Kain revival are true.
He's predicting a winner based on a console he hasn't seen yet. Now we can all do this and speculate but this ass gets paid for it and that's why he pisses me off. His reasoning is ass, skype and a tv tuner = insta win? RAM = innovation? There are so many other analysts but he gets massive prominance because he's not a reasoned and balanced speculator - he's a like a loud mouthed clueless forumer who hit the jackpot. He's a professional jackass.
What? No LEGO cranes? No sale

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
It's a pretty sharp looking game, good texture work, nice depth of field, natural lighting, detailed but clean too.
They say its being in development for 3 years. Looks decent.
In short (and very simple terms) it comes down to the USB and computer creating a unique lock and key when they first meet, so that the dongle cannot be used on another computer.

In other news, I have no internet this week other than occassional tethering to my smart phone. Phone company problems. Telstra is the worst company in the western world. The worst.
That looks pretty awesome.
Totally understandable as the very best versions are on PC. I guess the question I would ask, not just to you we can ask everyone here. If you had to choose one platform/console this gen, already knowing all the games that have come out and knowing which ones you would have missed out of and which you get to play, which would it be?
For me it would have been PS3. Not having Nintendo would have hurt but there is no way I could go through this gen missing out on almost every big game. Sony has the exclusives I want and got pretty much every major third party game, the worst version usually but stuff like that doesnt bother me.

If I could have had a killer PC back in 2005 I would say PC. I didn't have a great PC until 2008 though. If I went with a console, it would have been the 360 because for me the 360 had more exclusives that I cared about than the PS3 did, and also had the majority of games while all the Wii was good for was a select number of exclusives.
Not liking what I'm hearing about MS's Xbox 3 strategy though....you may be right about the PS4 being the better option of the two. That interview with the Braid guy is exactly what I'm fearing from Microsoft.
Yeah, those screens are mine. I could listen to my 560 shitting itself while playing, haha but it really makes a huge difference.
360 for me. I enjoyed their exclusives the most and although multiplats are generally equal on both these days there were some important issues that plagued the PS3 versions in a few particular games. Would have been bummed to miss Nintendo's games and a few PS3 exclusives though.Based on what I know now, I would pick the PS3. I didn't care much for the PS1 or PS2 back in the day, so I really didn't expect to like the PS3 either, but it has become my favorite console this gen. I wish I had bought one earlier. I originally went with the 360 because its exclusives appealed to me more at the time, but I didn't even like most of them. Losing the Nintendo exclusives would suck, especially Super Mario Galaxy, but the PS3 just offers a whole lot more value with its great exclusives, strong third party support, Blu-ray, and the Plus service.
As much as I would hate to lose the Nintendo exclusives, I would go with the PS3 as well. There's so much extra value with the games and Blu Ray movies.
I am purposely not buying any skyim dlc or even the GOTY version whenever that hits cause my dream is that one day I will get skyim for PC.
