PS: dont know where you got your installer from, but either A) the wrong place, or your AV has got it wrong. Can PvE in lol as well, and the PvE community in lol tends to be really nice if thats your thing.

Thanks for the heads up on the other stuff, I will definitely give LoL a shot sometime. The installer thing I was talking about was like two years ago and it was definitely bundled with some weird tencent adware distro software, I'm sure they've changed it by now but back then it really turned me off.

I've never played LoL so no idea (went to install it and the installer had adware attached), all I ever hear about it is that it's a more rudimentary take on the Dota formula, not that there's anything wrong with that. I know it's very successful though, particularly in the asian markets.

The proper response here would have been to either roll the patch back or take FEZ off the XBLA. Microsoft shares some greed culpability here too, but so does the designer. He'll gladly take your money for a product he knows is broken (along with MS to be fair) and tell you "You're fucked motherfucker."

It's right along the edge of fraud really.

As for Phil Fish and Fez, I'm torn because I like good games but it's hard to knowingly support such a tremendous douchebag who has basically spit on my favorite platform. On the flipside I guess most companies have a few of them so *shrug*

I know some people have a problem with Brad, but Stardock is exactly the kind of developer we should be supporting:

They self publish

They do strategy games (less common these days)

They're not a huge conglomerate

They have shown an ability to learn from their mistakes

They're hiring some top notch talent.

They don't burden their games with onerous DRM

You can play their games offline

That's called Path of Exile. It has excellent mechanics overall. It's just not as polished as D3.

The game looks neat, but damn if the guy being an insufferable dick doesn't make it hard to press "buy". Maybe if its in a humble bundle, no excuse when charity is involved.

Also... MK9 is one of the most used Fighting Games currently in competition. So it may not be in his top 25, but it is certainly in other peoples top 25. Since it came out it has mostly overshadowed the competitive play of SF4 and Tekken at EVO. It's definitely worthy of a Game of the Year edition regardless of this guys opinion.

Don't get me wrong this is obviously a mess and a serious embarrassment, but I thought maybe that was THEIR point anyway with the dad's PC comment.

But then why wouldn't you just lower the graphical fidelity? Like every other game has been capable of doing since really the beginning of time. Why limit it on the one thing that every player and every single preview has been hammering them about?

It seems to me like they were hoping to squeeze by with just a few servers.
