"Over and Dice" are the only words I dread more on Slashdot than "Frequent contributor Bennet Haselton writes". Dear lord, I miss the Slashdot of 1999, even with all its problems.
Netflix works on every device, everywhere. Sony is planning a competitor that works on a system with a fraction of Netflix's availability. Ask Microsoft how well the XBox Live's on-demand streaming is kicking Netflix's ass.
(or is reconciliation good now that Republicans run things?)
The current thinking is that if it passed by reconciliation, then removing it by the same mechanism is fair game. "What reconciliation giveth, reconciliation taketh away."
You can always count on Bob to open any email he sees that has "Miley Cyrus" in the subject line. Had to clean out is system three times this month. Damn you, Bob. This is all your fault.
Because Republicans are a proper subset of the group "politicians," which is defined by the property "wants to fuck over everyone but the privileged and corporate."
How much more pay to win can you get that skipping the entire game? It use to be you had to prove to the WoWverse that you made it to 60 and when you did were granted late game access. Dillusional bro. Youve been completely brianwashed by them.
At no point in the history of WOW was leveling the "entire game". For casuals, maybe. But now casuals do as much end-game content as anyone else. Leveling is simply a barrier of entry at this point.
The D3 auction house is no more. A failed experiment, put in the grave, and the progenitor shuffled off to a lower position. The other things GP listed are not PtW. You're paying for cute visuals or for the privilege of skipping the 10 hour tutorial called level 1-89.
These are the games that made them billions of dollars. They didn't get put on the map by being experimental; they take a proven (or in some cases, dead and expired) genre and steal all the best bits from everyone else and give players what they want.
They've stated on numerous occasions that Activision has nothing to do with Blizzard's internal workings. If Activision was anything like, say, EA, they would have shipped Ghost and Titan, then rolled up the shop.
I think it's for me. I used to love FPS's, but my days of twitch play are long behind me. Last time I logged in to Counter Strike I got creamed by kids half my age (or, judging by the squeaky voices, a third). I simply don't have time to hone those skills anymore, and I doubt I ever will. This is the kind of casual game I can get into and be ok, I think.

Ok. Whatever. I guess he had a teary, apologetic news conference just for funsies.
It's not feminism anymore; it's puritanism. Another case: we landed a probe on a comet and all we can talk about is a fucking shirt.
Wouldn't they have to rewrite everything in Python?
Until you accidentally fall through.
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those!
Wait, is that too old?
Did you make sure his hall pass is valid for today?

You suggest preferential treatment of AAA titles is not a concern of GamerGaters, when they are shouting about it all the time.
Yeah, THAT marriage will last until the first budget bill.
When they have the majority in both the house and the senate starting next Jan. they will expand the NSA's powers and try to ram it through.
IOW, continuing the good work of the current majority and the administration?

Don't forget that in red states, the folks on welfare aren't the ones voting.

I thought so too, but it's not. They link the previous announcement in TFS; this is the actual release.
I don't who or what broke you so profoundly, but I hope you're ok and you get help.

Fired for continuing a proven winning strategy?
Wow? Clone.
Warcraft? Clone.
Diablo? Clone.
Starcraft? OMG clone.
Hearthstone? Clone.

I proffered a reason in the GP, and you quoted it.
What was the last game Blizzard made that was PC only?
Yes. That's exactly it. 3 days ago they read that exact announcement and said, "Oh shit, we better make ourselves a sci-fi FPS!"
