I'll grab it for sure in a year or so when it's in the bargain bin but no chance in hell I'm paying full price for it.

Should just rename it to No Man's Game since they just won't release the dumb thing already.

It's going to be a buggy hot mess at release with most likely plenty of connection to server issues to go around.

I watched some of the leaked gameplay, didn't show more that what they've already have shown with their own play through videos and that's to say, it still looked rather boring. It's a tech demo trying really hard to be a game. The sound seemed rather annoying, especially their ambient background sound effects.

Comey says encryption technology makes it impossible in a growing number of cases to search electronic devices. He says it's up to U.S. citizens to decide whether to modify the technology.

I thought we already told them to pound sand.

How many times do the "U.S. citizens" have to tell them that they aren't going to get blanket access to all of our devices? Talk about Orwellian!

There's a game being developed which I think looks pretty fucking cool. Memory of a Broken Dimension.

Never see any mention of it here, but it's an indie game i guess.

I dug the demo, typing into a pseudo DOS prompt to launch the game after figuring out what to type. Anyway, figured i'd mention it here. Would be cool to get updates on via Blues News instead randomly on my own.

I'm lazy like that.

Wiki

Hurricane Sandy (unofficially known as "Superstorm Sandy") was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, and the second-costliest hurricane in United States history. Classified as the eighteenth named storm, tenth hurricane and second major hurricane of the year, Sandy was a Category 3 storm at its peak intensity when it made landfall in Cuba.[1] While it was a Category 2 storm off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)).[3][4] Estimates as of 2015 assessed damage to have been about $75 billion (2012 USD), a total surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina.[5] At least 233 people were killed along the path of the storm in eight countries.

The convection diminished while the hurricane accelerated toward the New Jersey coast,[28] and the hurricane was no longer tropical by 2100 UTC on October 29.[29] About 2 1/2 hours later, Sandy made landfall near Brigantine, New Jersey,[30] with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h).

Holy shit, was Suicide Squad bad. At one point about 2/3rds of the way through, Will Smith says "When will it end?" and I'm thinking "Yes, Will, when will this end??????????"

It really did feel like (matching reports of the last few days) it was sort of reordered/reedited. Joker shows up and then disappears for 40+ minutes, at one point...

They suggest that the overall valuation of the channel is greater than 79 billion dollars," stated the brief. "To put that number into context, Defendants’ counsel is suggesting that the VGYT channel is the third highest valued company/business entity in the entire world, just behind Apple and Google and well ahead of Microsoft, Coca Cola, Facebook, and IBM.

I'm gonna guess no. It's not worth 79 billion.

Are they going to do routine server wipes? If so, what is the point of the game then? Spends thousands of hours wandering the galaxy just to have them wipe it out and start over?

It'd blow my mind if Musk could deliver some of this mind-blowing tech at prices most normal mortals could afford.

You mean you can't get a Tesla from g2a, what a shame. Try using a vpn and change your location to Russia.

"New Research shows that americans have more ass time and fatty foods and thus getting to be fatties"

Nothing shocking there.

I wonder when we see the "Pokemon GO causes thousands of weightloss success story" articles.

I guess it's going to be can you see their goal and are ok enough with it or have they crossed the line in the sand and no more of any of this!? I'm sort of the prior, I can see why they are doing this. I think more of the power user computer people will find more issue to these stronger armed tactics. But there are millions that need a tighter controlled system for their systems to stay functioning.

Personally I haven't hit the point that their issues can't be overcome with a little more work on my end after an update. But again, I get your point certainly. Yes this could all go tragically wrong, but I don't want to cry wolf too early either.

It's actually very simple for me at this point: I want to play DirectX games and the future of DirectX games is on Windows 10 unfortunately so you got to take the good with the bad and the bad with the good.

If there were a serious alternative (no, I do not think that Wine is a serious enough alternative in terms of compatibility and performance) or if DirectX 12 would be available for Windows 7 including mainstream support on Windows 7 beyond 2020 then I would have stuck with Win 7 forever after or moved on to another OS that supports DirectX gaming.

I finally booted back into Win 10 last night to deffer the update. Then promptly booted back to Win 7 lol. Though thanks to Win 10 I now have a triple boot system and will be migrating to Linux as my main OS. I doubt game devs will move to Linux so I'll still have to boot to Win 10 in the future to play newly released games. If they'd fix that games issue I could probably dump Windows altogether now.

The lack of bolt actions beyond the sniper class is disturbing. WW1 you say?

It's Battlefield, it's always gameplay over historical accuracy, I remember in BF1942 Americans had the Lee Enfield rifle. That said, I'd like to see one, faction specific, bolt action rifle available for every class.
