I would buy Oculus if it wasn't tied to Facebook.

Facebook is the very reason I don't have the hardware.

It is amazingly true that this company spends far far FAR too much time in developing advertisements, updates, plans, schedules, discussions, bugfix videos, tours, etc than actually developing the game.

There are companies that don't show you anything and then magically a game just shows up. Then there's RSI where you hear tons about development and after a few years ... you keep hearing tons about development.

I've not said this much but I wish that they would just shut the hell up and finish development. Literally.

As far as I see it, the most monumental thing they did moving to 3.0 is actually fixing the patcher, which was horrid. At least now it doesn't kill the network and force-download everything.

But it's still a slightly better polished turd. There's no actual fun to be had here. Booting it up to do a race or pirate fight isn't worth it.

Windows XP, not only is it much more secure <snip>

Nope. Especially now.

Bear in mind that what you don't know can hurt you, and you'll never be notified about XP vulnerabilities. Why? Because it's not supported anymore.

Blizzard devs can't balance a seesaw so whenever they discuss doing so in their games really makes me concerned.

I find this a little strange, but if you're going to generalize an entire company I'll make an appropriate counter-generalization:

Blizzard is very very good at making games that do NOT have ANY strict balance rules. They are adept at making rock-paper-scissors games -- one set will always destroy another set. It is in that spirit that teams work.

It also makes it more challenging to look at any single class as being overpowered. For example, Bastion might seem OP, but Genji can shred Bastion every time (assuming you know what you're doing of course). Other classes have the "edge" on certain OP classes.

The mistake here is thinking that any single character can have an equal match against any other single character. That's just not true, and never has been.

As I get more involved in Overwatch I am starting to see the angles here and yeah, that's why you can flip characters after deaths. It's pretty easy to counter any one particular character's advantage. The trick is really to do it in a team and maintain the tactical advantage.

I would venture to bet that those people who contributed to this kickstarter are doing it solely out of blind devotion to Doom and his Doom legacy, and have absolutely no memory of Daikatana or how he had a significant hand in blowing up Ion Storm, or the infamous "John Romero is going to make you his bitch."

He's the very definition of "risky bet" which is the only reason he stopped to actually produce something. There's no way any sane person with memory of the above events would give that person a dime on a whisper and promise of a game, without something to show for it... and I think he knows that. Now.

Slick: May 4, 4pm pacific, open to all. Sorry, but you're wrong.

Both me and my kiddo got on the Overwatch beta and the Doom beta for this weekend. We played the hell out of Overwatch. Doom got about 10 minutes, and we even had some trouble with logging in.

Pretty much my entire feelings are mirrored by the plentiful Steam reviews.

If it's anything like last year you can't ebay your tickets. You can ONLY pick up the tickets with the credit card and name purchased under. If you want to ebay your tickets, basically, you'd have to go to the event, pick up the tickets yourself, and hand them to someone else (who will then be walking around with your name).
