| As an ancient lurker, around well long enough to remember the golden ages with grumpy old gamer, happy puppy, and other long fallen gaming sites, I give you a resounding well done Blue. While it's my gaming addiction which will keep me here until I die, it is you and the other great folks that lend you a hand that make it more than worth coming to. |

| Having been in a bit of a Fallout 4 binge, I didn't see any of the news about a DLC release until well after I was deep into the mechanic line. It was nice that it seamlessly appeared in game for me at a time when I still had a fair amount of the map to explore, was 35ish, and shortly after an interaction with Travis in the wilds while wandering toward the next point of interest. Apparently it added some interesting kit and such but as far as I could tell it was there at game launch (having read the news, I know now it wasn't). I played with the robo-crafting a bit before I knew it was primarily for creating companions (though why you'd create more than one, and not simply swap out mods I don't have an answer to). Glad I grabbed it with the season pass back when. |

| This isn't really a stealth game, but a stop motion puzzler similar to Braid, only in 3D wrapped in the illusion of a stealth game. Anyone looking for a true Thief sequel will need to continue their wait. |

| Additionally, the chips are retardedly slow - takes a factor of ten longer at least to process my sale. Bad technology being used by poorly run companies. |

Pop your chip card in the microwave for 3 seconds, then tell the clerks at the stores it's broken and make them manually enter the card information. Takes just as long, or longer, but lets the card companies know you're not going to accept any tech they want to foist on you.
Fight the power!

I'm certainly not the only one, but I haven't wanted to wear a watch since I was in grade school. The big Timex of the time were too dang clunky to have on while using the keyboards, and who the heck needs a clock when they have games to be playing?
I certainly haven't had the desire for a watch since I've grown up - every screen I look at, everywhere I go, already tells me the time, from the microwave to the computer - keep yer watches. Or maybe... We don't need no stinkin' watches!
Might explain why I think Dick Tracy is dumb crap also, ugh.  |

The series went to garbage with Rainbow Six 3, and the contents of this season pass seem to indicate that the folks at Red Storm want very very different things out of a hard core realistic military shooter than I do.
When did all the military shooters turn into Barbie for Boys? |

So as to turn based multiplayer - the only way it really works is if the turns are timed, but we don't have those details, so I'll wait and see. There are many folks who multitask their gaming, turn based fits nicely for that.
The multiplayer feature is interesting, but pure PvP arena style battles don't have much appeal for me because I played MUSE/MUSH/MOOs in the early '90s where we'd be up at 3AM making resource runs in trucks defended only by a limping locust because we needed the materials to get our other mechs back online, or we'd stuble across a dropship incursion from one of the other houses and have to put in a call to arms to wake folks up at home and in their dorm rooms to take it out. Five team 24/7 turn based planetary conquest, nothing has compared since.
Though at the end, any Battletech that isn't MWO I consider a win. MWO was acceptable early on, but they've apparently drank from the same goblet as Games Workshop and appear to treasure their creation far ore than I do in a monetary sense. |

Pretty simple. Advertisements are Evil. AdBlockers are the enemy of Advertisers, therefore any enemy of my enemy is my friend. AdBlockers are therefor good.
Ideally in place at a border gateway to prevent the advertisers net traffic from even reaching your local node. |

| I'm trying to grasp how a product which is an unsafe upgrade target for anyone due to the sweeping privacy and back door issues with Windows 10 somehow can be made "safe" for gamers by not having horrid performance. |

I almost wish Amazon would buy the whole company. It would be an easy way to get a few brick & mortar locations, while at the same time continuing to support hobby electronics, although the bulk of components would likely work better as special order items (to the store location), freeing up some retail shelving for the pantheon of other Amazon goods.
Some potntial for win. |

I don't know why anyone brings up customer service. What are you doing that you need customer service from Steam or any other of these places? I've got over 10 years in Steam, and well over half a K of games in the library, and I've never once even considered the existence of customer service for Steam much less the need for it.
Even beyond that, what is going on that you need to regularly engage customer service enough that it becomes a deciding factor? You sure you aren't linked to EA/Origin yourselves and just trying to pimp that service?
But, if that's the deciding factor, well good on ya, have fun with Origin and your much improved customer service.
Steam already covers me and any needs I may have in the "one too many services installed and running on my machine using up cycles and bandwidth I'd rather it not be" area - do not need Origin or any of the other Johnny-come-latelies to try and break into the market and my network as well. First to market has won here for me, even though I resisted the hell out of Steam back in the CS 1.2 days.
If you have to ask why Valve > EA, you'll need to find someone to discuss it with. |

Agree no Atlanta |

The last E3 I attended was the last held in Atlanta as well, cheers!
Though I have to agree that Hotlanta is a horrible place for anything that I (or sane people) want to attend, especially if held in the summer. Of course the west coast is just as useless to me - ideally everything would be held in the research triangle in North Carolina - not too hot, not too cold, not too far, and tech out the wazoo. On top of that the area is home to Epic, Red Storm, Funcom, and a good many other gaming companies as well as all your big tech names.
Ideal is the ideal word to describe it. |

No, a robot can not give it's own TED talk - it would be delivering the messages of all the people involved in its creation, as coached by the final marketing arbitrators.
Oh, and the $3k video card is for people with too much money.
Developers have to sell to a market, therefore the bulk of work & testing is generally done at the commodity levels alongside their customer base. In a big AAA house you might convince the money men to allow a purchase like this for a few of the big name Sr Devs, and I'm sure the entire Star Citizen team is running them, but outside of that - just people with too much money. |
