I hate the GOP and the Democrats equally for this fucking bullshit. Facebook gets 500 million dollars in REFUNDS, and at the same time every single citizen's taxes go up by 2%? That's just fucking horseshit.
And all Washington does is keep its bloated carcass in power, and there's nothing we can fucking do about it.

The only thing I dislike about Vampire Lord mode is that it's stuck in third-person, like being a Werewolf except worse because you're slinging spells with that god-awful crosshair. Makes going through caves that way a pain in the ass.
My big issue with the Vampire Lord was that he was
A) too large to fit through most caves
B) Can't actually interact with anything. No map in Vampire mode? WTF Bethesda?
Other than that, I actually thought the Vampire mode was a pretty cool thing. It takes a bit to power up (though not nearly as much as it originally seems, since every kill works towards your counter,) but it has pretty cool power, and he's actually really strong.
I was playing an upclose warrior dude, and so the Vampire Lord complements him well, as everything at medium and long range just gets murdered by the Vampire powers.
I also really liked that you actually CAN blot out the sun in Dawnguard, and that it's not just this stupid "menace in the background" type deal. Some of the areas were also very cool to explore, but that was almost completely negated by the absolutely fucking ridiculously large Falmer area you have to slog through...
Even so, Dawnguard isn't anywhere near Dragonborn's coolness. Dragonborn is fantastic.

Have diehard Star Trek fans accepted the reboot on a whole?
I did. It wasn't TNG or DS9, but I thought it was pretty good, especially compared to having NO Star Trek whatsoever.
Because the movie did so well, Paramount is actually talking/pre-producing another TV show, set after Voyager's timeline. So who knows.
I'm pretty excited for the next movie.

That's not backwards compatibility, that's called "Having a work-around."
10 bucks says you'll still have to PAY to play your "Backwards compatible" games.

Also, starting February 22 at 11 AM (PST) you made pre-load the game in anticipation of the release on February 26, 2013.
The physical copies go live on the 19th. So this is more EA bullshit to promote Origin. Suddenly I think I just lost all desire for this game for more than 5 bucks. Good job, EA.

No clue to what your talking about, I bought mine via GMG and I already have a key and it preloaded from Origin, ready to go on the 19th.
The Origin copies go live on the 19th. The Amazon copies go live a week later. Yet the non-download copies sold via Amazon go live the 19th. It's ONLY the download copies that are being delayed by a week. This is EA bullshit to promote Origin.

Observatories simply for near earth or middle earth objects? No.
I agree. It probably wouldn't even cost that money to monitor everything (in government terms, anyway, considering NASA currently spends less than 10 million on it.) But what's the point? So you can see them coming? And then what? Contrary to Hollywood's belief, there really isn't anything we can do to stop an asteroid from hitting Earth.
Shooting a nuclear weapon at them will cause more damage and cost more lives from the fallout in the atmosphere than an asteroid impact of the size that's small enough to be destroyed by a nuke. And that's IF there is a nuke that can be launched at it to intercept it, which isn't a given.
The only benefit an observation system would have is for warning purposes, but it's not like people really have a place to go to evade an asteroid strike, unless they have or live near a nuclear bomb shelter. The thing that hit today did little more than break glass, and people aren't going to listen to a warning to stay away from windows anyway.
And that's not even considering the fact that these thing typically break up in the atmosphere and thus are very liable to alter their course by hundreds of miles, at which point your warning is wasted.
There's really no point in watching for something if you can't do anything about it. It's just wasted money.

Psst...Congress....over here. I've got a tip for you. I'm buying from Amazon instead of Best Buy because they have the TV I want for $500 instead of $700, and I don't have to be brow-beaten by salesmen trying to sell me an HDMI cord for $30. Not because I don't have to pay 5% sales tax.
So then you wouldn't mind paying it?
It's inevitable that eventually Amazon will start charging everyone sales tax. But Congress will have to make the whole thing a LOT fucking easier (both for Amazon and for the customer) before it will ever become a reality.
Right now the onus is on the customer to report the sales tax... Yeah, good luck with that, fuckers. Like I'm going to keep a log of exactly every single thing I bought during a whole year, so I can then apply sales tax on it and try to figure out where to fucking report it on their by-now completely idiotic tax return forms.

Considering Amazon is giving $20 credit AND Crysis 1 for preordering Crysis 3...
That actually made me want to go pre-order... But then I saw that their download apparently doesn't unlock until a WEEK later.

They definitely ramped up the hype, that's for sure. I gotta admit it looks pretty cool, and I definitely enjoyed Crysis 2, but I'm still not sure about getting this for 60 bucks...

That story is so awesome. I love those Russian guys who see this bright-as-fuck thing come straight at them and they just keep on driving. I'd have probably flipped my car trying to swerve out of the way. (and then looked like a total ass once I realized it was like 100 miles away and wasn't even coming at me.)

Michael Bay had to be admitted to the hospital for a severe and long lasting erection after watching those videos. True story!

"That one, that one, that one", next thing you know you have 30 tabs open and it's a rush to the end. Most aren't as good in full screen though  so close them all then rinse and repeat.
Not that I look at such FILTH! you people disgust me 
People still watch images in porn? What is this, 1997?
Btw, Cutter, that  smiley looks rather different when featured in a discussion about porn.

And as far as the ending goes, it was every bit as lame as Mass Effect's. The only reason one created an uproar and the other didn't, is that at least in AC's case, there was never the expectation of being able to affect anything.
That's part of it, but there's a much, MUCH bigger issue there that you're ignoring.
Nobody gave two shits about Desmond. (spoiler) So him dying at the end doesn't bother anybody in the slightest.
People who loved Mass Effect CARED about what would happen to Shepard, and to Garrus, and to Wrex, and to Tali, and to Liara, etc. And in the initial version, they got nothing. No closure, zilch. (it's not that much better in the Extended Cut. One picture per character, but it's more than there was initially.)
Had I given two shits about Desmond, the ending would have pissed me off far more than it did. As it is, I was more like "wow, really? That's how you end it after making me sit through this horseshit for FIVE fucking games??"
Really the only thing that pissed me off was that I wasn't even offered the choice. The cutscene made the choice for me.

I figured I'd try another 3rd person game again, so I picked-up Assassin’s Creed for about $7 on Amazon. I've enjoyed for a while, but it seemed to become very repetitive. So, that leads me to my question of AC3; is it any good, or pretty much the same repetition?
The first AC is really repetitive, yeah. The setting is cool, but it's all so samey samey. AC3 isn't really repetitive, as you're doing a ton of different things, but it's chock full of kinda pointless side-stuff.
AC2 is (imo) the best one in the series, and if you like it, Brotherhood is an excellent continuation.
I'd rank them as follows:
AC2
AC: Brotherhood
AC3
AC: Revelation
AC1
