Ooh, I didn't realise it would be before the game release. Nice. No sign of it yet, even after a restart. Did you pre-order early? You have to go to the Civ V page in the Store, and from there you can click on Play Now, and it will be added to your Library.

| I think they know that finding loot is one of the fun parts of the game. The auction house feels a bit like cheating, really, and it doesn't have any of that "jackpot" feeling that finding a new item that perfectly fills the gap in your equipment. I've used it when I start hitting a wall in higher difficulties, but I wish it were more organic. Too much of a "just buy it from the AH" attitude will cause a lot of people to quit early, because what's really the point of playing? Blizzard may be opportunistic, but they're not dumb. |

| What are you looking for, exactly? Seems like they're concentrating on balance changes with higher drop rates for high level gear and trying to lessen reliance on the auction house, which IMO is a good thing. I haven't had any real beefs with the interface as of yet. |

| I just got booted off, error 3000-something, then got error 37 trying to reconnect. It's a really fun game, especially in co-op with friends, but I hope they get this ironed out quickly |

| Wow. I wasn't sure what I expected but yeah, that makes a very noticeable improvement. Maybe some models could look a bit "plasticy" in that, but just watching the YouTube video, that seems way preferable to smearing the whole monitor with Vasoline |

Unless Valve is also going to surprise anounce Linux steam and Portal 2, my only viable choice for playing is Xbox360... (Even then, I'm not sure my old Linux PC would be up to the challenge of handling a modern game like that, anyway... Its main use is as a workstation; I write Linux/Unix code for a living...) Yeah, his PC is old and decrepit. I think the last PC gaming he did was Civ IV. Not Civ V, Civ IV. I'll just suck it up and use a damn controller. |

| I feel like I'd heard a while back that the Portal 2 co-op would allow PC users to play with Xbox 360 users, since the gameplay was entirely cooperative and you wouldn't have the problem of the mouse/keyboard competitive advantage. Was I just smoking some particularly good stuff that night, or is that true? I wonder because my main friend I want to play coop with only has a 360. I'd rather play on PC, but this definitely influences my decision. |

| That was a great article on the Berkeley Overmind. They used some straightforward but robust methods for determining which units to attack, and made great use of the pc's ability to micro far beyond even the top level human players. I can just imagine mutas that could scatter to avoid area affect damage and were constantly dancing in and out of attack range would be absolute hell to beat. |

We can't objectively prove you wrong (you're wrong, btw) and you're obviously just trolling. |

Wasted too much time killing them (and aquiring new mines from the last undestroyed mine dispenser), the last surviving strider every time walked unharmed to the main base. But console commands can solve that mission design problem easily I saved a lot of time with the hunters by just running them over with the buggy. Instant kill if you can get them on the first pass. Also, fallen logs scattered around made for great projectiles from the gravity gun for another instant kill. |

I never finsihed ep2, and really don't care to. You missed out then. The big fight against the walkers at the end was flat out amazing. Tearing around a wide-open forest level in a buggy trying to fend off attacks at different locations while the Combine just wrecked whatever they came across felt epic. Easily one of the best set pieces of the entire HL series. |

| Forget the Koreans, this game will sell because Blizzard games have world class polish and gameplay balance, and they have a basically unblemished track record. As far as I'm concerned, they haven't made a bad game yet. I'm more than happy to pay $60 for this, just like I did for Warcraft III. You guys have fun being jaded, I can't wait to get my hands on this. |

| I had an absolute blast at PAX East last weekend. This is a great con, and any game enthusiast worth his salt should go check one of these out. Next year PAX East is slated to be at a conference center twice as big, which should really help with the lines, but yeah, this is basically Woodstock for gamers. Be there. |

| I had an opportunity to mess around with some of this at PAX East this last weekend, and yeah, the bezels are a problem. 3x1 is pretty sweet, but 3x2 puts that horizontal bezel right in the center of vision, and I think does more harm than good. The most impressive use of this I saw was a demo of Need for Speed: Shift that used 3 projectors to give an ultra wide, seamless picture. To top that off, it was running in 3d. The cockpit view was really impressive in 3d. The steering wheel was obviously closer than the dash, and the scenery through the windshield was obviously further away. Not perfect yet, but getting pretty damn cool. |
