| Having my employment terminated recently from a Verizon Wireless retailer(thank god), keep in mind that 4g coverage with Verizon Wireless right now is very limited. Also, it's too bad you've upgraded. I had a customer get an unlimited data plan from them with a Mifi 2200 recently. Just talk up the Verizon Wireless food chain. They really can do anything if you get the right supervisor. It may require you to call back a couple of times, but sometimes it's worth it. |

*Puts on devil's advocate hat*
All Marvel is trying to do is make comics from both sides collectible again. They release rare covers and make the DC comics worth more to buy since there will be less of those. |

D3DX is a library of helper functions that is neither backwards nor forwards-compatible by itself, unlike the DX interfaces.
The DirectX redists "should" include all of the d3dx dlls you need, but every time the interface is updated, they need to include the new version.
Also, due to the DX EULA you can't just include the DLL in your basic installer. It can only be in the redist. |

| Wow. Netflix is stupid. Two price hikes in less than a year? I'll be cancelling my subscription as soon as this goes into effect. This is what happens when companies become greedy for more profit. It will bite them in the ass. It's only too bad that they couldn't have done this before they drove most of Blockbuster out of business. |

White Cherry Icees are da bomb.
My brain realizes it's the same flavor as a wild cherry icee, but somehow it tastes better white...yes...that's what she said. |

They don't seem to want the game to take off.
Versus what? I'd say the 3 million sales reported last week would qualify a game as 'taken off.' |

So which one came first, because it's not saying in the pic? Did Valve guys rip off that scene from the Akira Manga?
Well, considering the manga came out in the 80s, I'd assume it was first. |

I'm kind of curious what kind of hardware failure can cascade across multiple systems, INCLUDING your backup systems?
Fire breaks out and the sprinkler systems become active? |

I'm going to go home and uninstall TF2, I'm sick of it sitting there downloading huge new patches every week. I have no interest in playing it anymore.
While I do agree that the other games need some more loving, are you seriously complaining that the game you bought forever ago is still being updated and new free content is still being made almost four years later? |

Surprised it took this long for comment. I'd say this is a blackeye for Steam then, very similar to what Apple does with iOS and what MS does with 360/XBL(and why Valve went with Sony/PSN for Steam, which seems a bit hypocritical now).
There are good reasons for them not to want to include this kind of feature.
1. Valve won't make money on this. Why would any major publisher put their DLC through Steam when they could localize it on their own servers? There goes a revenue stream.
2. Steam couldn't guarantee the content that didn't come from them. Let's say you buy $200 worth of DLC from EA. EA shuts down Origin or changes their mind on allowing unlimited downloads for DLC. It's going to make Valve look bad. At least with Steam, the content is always there to download. You may look at this and say, "well, I would know who the bad guy in this situation is." People are stupid. Look at how many crazy emails/facebook messages Uncle Bob sends you about all of the different conspiracies. That should tell you.
Ultimately, I would love to see the true numbers in two years time. I'd like to see what Valve has lost and what EA has made. |

..."Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis II from Steam."
Who wants to bet that "another download service" == Origin?

Remember a few years ago? When Valve decided that Counterstrike will be a Steam exclusive? And that Half-Life 2 will be a Steam exclusive? When many people are bitching about this weird Steam thing? Now they are bitching about a game NOT being available on Steam.
People, especially gamers adapt. Very quick.
The difference between then and now is that Valve created a new market for this sort of deal and does a damned good job with it.
EA is bringing nothing to the table except the lust for a bigger share of the pie(which I'm sure was still quite a bit more than the B&M stores were giving them). |

I have an apparently rare boxed copy of FF7 for PC in a trapezoid box.
It's got to be the only game in my physical collection worth anything to a collector.
I have one of those still. It's actually worth something? |

Don't even think to look at the boxes when I'm in a store that stocks them.
Ain't that the truth. Last time I checked, my local stores had a handful of new AAA titles(which were cheaper on Steam), an assload of Popcap(and the ilk) games and Diablo II(still surprised this game is sold).
Shelf-space deals with retail stores helped pave the way to the digital revolution. |

The clip shows Agent 47 taking out a series of bodyguards in order to get a glimpse of a chick taking a shower. Or maybe he plans on shooting her
Can't it be both? |
