god the sims has been pissing me off. i can't even get in the game itself before it starts throwing microtransaction bullshit at me, I sit through 4 different loading screens before I'm actually doing anything, and then it continues to dangle microtrasaction stuff throughout the whole game. choosing...

though using it right now the downloading and patching isnt as smooth as things go on Steam but it's not literally Hitler

Doubtful. This is pretty much what it appears to be, buying good faith and getting more people to start using Origin- gratefully, all the money's going to charity, which is pretty much the required compromise for EA at this juncture. that's the thing man, you're pushing millions of dollars toward c...

the win EA gets out of this is they now have a lot more people with their Origin storefront on their PCs, people who have avoided it this far but can't pass up this deal. And shit dude, they've earned it. It's a hell of a deal, and they're giving their share to charity. They must be trying really ha...

Its a new game, though I think one SNES character makes an appearance.

Its an isometric RPG though, so its not anything like the 360 shooter if that's what you're worried about

just started for a little while, made a Dwarf Rigger, I run up and shoot faces with a shirtgun and then mind control a robot to shoot the same face, just about as badass as anything could get.

I played Halo with everyone last night, that was really fun. Do we have the ability to set up a server on our own stuff a day prior, maybe older games won't be too much of a resource drain. I found out that Halo specifically doesn't have a linux server, though.

Maybe we could push silly mod sunday or something like that, so instead of a funserver that has max 5 users throughout the week we concentrate it to a day and have a larger group. Can a server like this switch modes on the fly between maps? For instance, we're all playing dodgeball and someone can n...

Well, I don't know if I should post it here but I'll do it anyways. As you will see in the picture, there is something wrong with the graphics. I have ATI Radeon 5700 series, version 13.4. A lot of people told me to update my drivers, which I did. The weird thing is, I have beautiful graphics right...

The guild still has members getting on, I've personally been spending a lot of time in other games for a bit but I'm gonna get into this dragon bash festival stuff here real soon.
