| And that's only for the 680 and 660... Not that it really matters, as any mid-range video card will max it out at 60+ FPS. Though some people are saying the new drivers fix problems they had with the game crashing, so you may need to update regardless. |

I think it's pretty much a given that, with an audience of millions, there are many, many more individuals creating content as mods for a game than the handful of official developers... Especially when they're also tasked with fixing bugs and implementing other features that the fans have asked for, such as better mod tools. If all they did was spend their time creating new "content" like arrows made out of every single material in the game or 7 more types of stairs/fences/doors, then people would complain that there were no major new features or other support.
I agree that Mojang has not done enough to support Minecraft based on how much money it brings in, but you have to keep in mind they are still a very small indie studio trying to manage a project that has exploded to AAA+ popularity, while still wanting to move on to making other games. The mods are out there, so rather than try to compete with them, they're focusing on doing things that modders can't... |

| The authenticator (physical or app) itself is not even necessarily required; all I did was give them my mobile number for text verification when changing password or logging in at a new location, etc. However, now that I have a smart phone, I probably would just get the app if I were to start playing again. Or not, they're still kind of a pain in the ass... I used one for SWTOR and it seemed kind of unnecessary. |

The best thing Minecraft has going for it is that it's still being worked on. I got my money's worth from Terraria, but I was extremely disappointed that when the author decided he didn't want to work on it anymore, he just killed it, rather than letting someone else take up the reins. There was a lot of potential for expansion/improvement in the game, and we aren't likely to get it at this point. At least, until another, similar game comes along.
At one point there was hope that Gaslamp Games (Dungeons of Dredmor) would take up support for Terraria, but I guess that didn't pan out... And the only work being done on it lately is porting to consoles.
However the one-half of the Re-Logic crew who's still active (major reason they stopped working on Terraria is the other just had a baby) is working on a new game that is basically the same thing, but with you flying on a spaceship around to different planets. It's called Starbound: http://playstarbound.com/ |

| And don't forget the XBLA version, which has sold more than 3 million despite the dozens of imitators on there, many of which were released first and sold up to a million-plus themselves. |

| Well the 35% off only applies to those specific games. The 25% applies to [most] everything else. But no, you cannot stack vouchers, like ever. If something has a pre-existing standard discount, maybe 10% off for pre-orders or whatever, you usually can stack a single voucher on top of that. Exceptions would be stuff like XCOM, where they had a mandate of no vouchers allowed for North American users on that product. (That's why they came up with the store credit or cashback thing, and have been applying it unfairly/willy-nilly to other games since then...) |

Search YouTube for any trailer Apple puts up, and it's there anyway, so...
But yeah, terribly disappointed with what they're doing. It still might be a decent movie (so long as they polish up that CGI, holy hell), but I'm beyond sick of the modern 'zombie' that's been morphed into something more interesting for the ADD-riddled audience. The books were about implanting Romero's undead into a realistic, globally apocalyptic scenario and exploring how that changed the human race; This is just another summer Hollywood blockbuster. Or at least, that's apparently how they're trying to sell it. |

| I get that this guy may have had a hand in designing some cool games back in the day, but why does that mean we have to hear about every dumb thing that comes out of his "famed" mouth on a weekly basis, not to mention all the retarded "experiments" he's just barely motivated enough to push out in his semi-retired, eccentric years? Just fuck off already. |

The only thing about BioShock is that the SHOCKING TWIST(tm) was really lame... (Spoilers, obv.)
Seriously? Mind-controlling the player in a linear, story-driven shooter? The only way to *not* do what anybody tells you is to not play the game!
Though beating that one guy to death with a golf club was pretty cool.

This is at least 7 times more retarded than Ubisoft's always-on DRM. And that's saying something... I'm glad I don't use Razer crap.
If you want to cheap out and avoid putting memory in the mouse itself, don't shove cloud storage down people's throats. Just store the extra profiles on their computer. |
