From the title I thought Ubisoft had come to their senses and removed the online requirement but I guess not. The pirates can play this without the hassle of being online so why are paying customers still being punished?
I haven't and I never will buy a Ubisoft game with online DRM requirements. |

I had a few weeks of nothing but Frozen Synapse on my brain last summer but I must have got burned out or something since I hardly play it anymore. I got through a lot of the huge campaign but never did finish it. Actually, now that I think about it, I think I got annoyed on a particular "dark" map and just quit playing.  |

Nice (albeit looong) article on ScummVM. The original developer is quite the coder:
Strigeus, who left in early 2002, went on to develop several more open-source projects, most notably OpenTTD—a remake and expansion of Chris Sawyer's classic sim game Transport Tycoon Deluxe. He also authored BitTorrent client µTorrent, which was purchased by BitTorrent, Inc. in 2006, and was chief architect of the Spotify beta. |

| Yahoo loves it's linkbait articles. There's probably some algorithm that is causing it to be posted again and again. The more people click it when it's reposted the more it gets reposted. Rinse, repeat, repost. |

I still haven't finished HL2 or even touched the two add-on expansions. I did finish portal in the orange box though. /duck
Seriously though, I'd rather have no info than constant hype like was done for nearly two years straight with SW:TOR. Just surprise me 3-4 months before the game is released don't tease me with shit for years. |

Batman: Arkham City on The Armchair Empire.
Geocities called from 1997 and they want their color scheme and annoying flashing ads back

| Wow I never knew that bit of trivia. I'm not planning to buy Diablo 3 but that does give +1 cool points to Blizzard (of the 1997 era atleast.) |

| Diablo 3 just legitimizes the Ubisoft form of DRM. I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard found a way to charge a monthly fee at some point too. Won't it be fun when you can't play your single player game because of "server maintenance" or some other bs? |

Splashtop |

The Amazon free android app of the day is splashtop. And in just one hour of using it I am hooked. It's the best free remote desktop software I've used. The PC to PC client is also free and connects over the internet with your google credentials. It's the smoothest remote desktop app ever and lets you do everything on the remote PC at 30fps...even gaming if the game supports windowed mode.
Here's me running Just Cause 2 at 20fps so it would obviously be better playing strategy games and watching movies. I was running on a local network also so I can't comment on performance over the internet. And all the sound from the game was streamed as well.
It just blows other free vnc apps out of the water performance-wise. |

Why would you ever want to, when:

- It was actually FREE on GOG for awhile. (Not sure if it still is.)

Nostalgia of playing it on the old C64 is about the only reason, otherwise I'd play it an emulator to easily save game state in case of crashes. Who am I kidding though? I have a full time job and 100's of modern anti-aliased games I haven't finished yet I'd rather waste time on. Sometimes I wish I was poor and only had a 386 with a soundblaster...then I'd be retro-gaming for sure |

| I've still got my old C64 and 1541 drive in a storage locker. Along with a bunch of old games I bought like the original Ultima4 box, disks, cloth map, and ankh. Loading times and swapping disks basically guarantees I won't be playing U4 on C64 again though - even if the media is good after all these years. I haven't tried running the C64 in like 10+ years I think. It's funny how big and heavy that 1541 floppy drive is compared to today's (almost dead) floppy drives. |

| I get most of my computer hardware from newegg. Although Best Buy is one of the few places that still has boxed PC games in at least half of one aisle. Not that I ever buy them there unless it's something new and on sale for a decent price. |

MS Flightsim never really held my interest because well... you pretty much just fly around. I guess I'm more into combat flight sims. However that said, had they added a business tycoon model where you could own your own tourism business, cargo business, or w/e in a dynamic world I think it would have held my interest more.
This reminded me of Solo Flight for the Commodore 64 back in 1983! Not that it was dynamic or anything but Sid Meier's little gem of a flight sim where you made mail runs to easy places to land (Kansas) as well as hard places (Colorado). I seem to remember bonuses for delivering mail faster, etc. It was simple by today's standards but I loved the gameplay. |

I bought A-10c over the break and it's insane how much is modeled in that sim. I have no chance of learning how to operate it with my ancient MS sidewinder joystick. I would love to buy the $400 thrustmaster warthog joystick/throttle but then I would need rudder pedals, another monitor, a new chair, etc. etc. etc.
Now I think I should have just reinstalled bf1942 and flown around some with my sidewinder in there |
