Now that they actually bothered to fix DE:HR with the latest patch, it went from a stuttering unplayable mess to running great on my nearly 5 year old PC. I went into it with low expectations, but I've got to say that it's everything that a series reboot should be. It feels like a natural...

Dead Space 1 wasn't scary at all. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you can rape a game into the ground with great shooter skills, IT'S NOT SURVIVAL HORROR. Dead Space 2 is better than the first in every way. It abandons the fake survival horror gameplay and instead goes with...

Imgburn is the best free ISO writing software out there. Shit is fucking invaluable. I've been using it to turn my old PSX games into DVDs (Like putting FFVII, VIII, and IX on a single disk), and it's great.

Going between Hat Fortress 2 (Would you believe I've been playing since October 2007 and haven't found a single hat?) and Just Cause 2. I watched a livestream of Dead Island last night, and it looks pretty terrible.

Just started playing it. The missions are already getting repetitive, but the sandbox action is about as good as it gets.

If by old-school mechanics; you mean "console mechanics", then yes, you're correct. You could save whenever you wanted back in Wolfenstein 3D, and that's pretty fucking oldschool in my book.

Looks fun, but a checkpoint-only save system is a big deal breaker for me. I'm reminded of Far Cry where if you played on Veteran or Realistic, 75% of the game was spent re-playing sections you already cleared over and over simply because you died ~10 feet from a save point.

Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3 are the only two I'm really looking forward to. I'll probably end up getting RO:HOS once it goes on sale for $15 or so. $40 is way too expensive a TWI game.

Dreamcatcher is decent, but as someone who has read almost all of his novels and published short stories; it's not even close to his best work. Still good to kill some time with though, unlike the movie which was terrible.

Fuck Gamestop. I stopped buying shit from them about 10 years ago when I found out that the store I had been going to was selling used games as new. I can't wait until digital distribution shuts those assholes down for good.

Pinellas County hasn't been hit by a hurricane since 1921, so I've got nothing to worry about. I do enjoy the ~40MPH winds that we always tend to get when a hurricane passes by though. Shit's exciting.

Puzzle dungeons? I've never seen anything like that in DDO, then again I haven't played it for a while. Back when I was playing, after beating the first two areas you run into a brick wall where 19/20 quests require you to buy those adventure pack things; so you had to either run the same single...

Titan Quest is worth a playthrough if you're desperate for a decent Diablo clone. I'd recommend looking up a guide or two though, since it's pretty easy to completely ruin your character by picking the wrong stats and a bad mastery combination. You could also try the Diablo 2 mod Median XL...

I haven't experienced any of that in L4D1/2. They're pretty bad games with literally zero replay value, but they've definitely got extremely responsive controls.

I shouldn't have to say this, but we're talking about video games. Video games are not reality. Do you get up in arms about the brutal turtle stomping genocide perpetuated by the family-friendly Mario series? How about the hundreds of thousands of random "bad guys" we've all "murdered"...

Morrowind for sure. I played the shit out of that on the Xbox, even though it was buggy as hell, crashed all the time, and you literally had 5+ minute load times. Still loved every minute of it.

Started playing Jade Empire, and got 3 hours in before the combat drove me fucking crazy and I uninstalled the piece of shit. I can't believe Bioware actually made that terrible, terrible game. I'd love to know what they were smoking when they devised that combat system.

If they keep the drop rates like D2, where you literally need to spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours mindlessly grinding bosses to try and get top-tier items (Which you'll still probably never see); I'll happily drop a few bucks on the auction house and be on my way.

I'm wondering how far they'll take this microtransaction thing. I hope we don't see shit like seriously gimped stash space unless you pay $3 or so per character to extend it.

If you want first person melee, the unofficial patch you have installed actually comes with that. Head on over to your VTMB folder, and you'll see a folder called Extras. Inside that folder will be another called first-person-melee. Open up that folder and then copy and paste all of the...
