Hey guys, you should buy Civilization V on Steam right now. Coincidentally just decided to play it again this morning, now it's crazy cheap! And oh-so good!

AndrewB replied to the topic Who else is avoiding the Auction House? on the Diablo III board.
It depends on how you want to play the game. I don't use it because all the focus has been on the real money auction house and I totally forgot there was an in-game money one. Also, I think it's very rewarding (if crazy time-consuming) to find gear naturally.

AndrewB replied to the topic Favorite Castlevania game and why? on the Castlevania board.
I really wish I could make it an either/or based on the old style or new style, but I won't cop out like that.Castlevania 3. It takes the original linear Castlevania structure and gives it branching paths and multiple playable characters you have to unlock. It also introduced Sypha.

AndrewB replied to the topic Computer Gaming on the General Discussion board.
A lot of those OSX ports are actually just the Windows version running in emulation, thus the poorer performance per the same hardware compared to Windows.I do agree entirely with the OP that I'd like to see more stuff written in a cross-platform API. OpenGL keeps playing catch-up with DirectX, but at least it's staying competitive.

I can get behind a more tactical shooter, but the problem I see in this Quick Look (not necessarily indicative of the whole game) is that they set up way too many scenarios of "hey, there's four dudes, we've got four dudes, so let's line up those shots." If a game is just a matter of painting a target, it sounds... well, more fun than turret sequences, but not by ...

22 nm Ivy Bridge, 22nm Kepler, and 30nm DDR3. Should be an interesting build.

Don't all get excited at once, Giant Bomb community... Of course, that was the most absurdly written press release.SInce I"m locked in to the 3DS version, I sure hope the inclusion of complete voice acting in two different languages doesn't mean it sounds like assy compression on the kart (but then, the 3DS allows for mostly big enough storage capacities for cheap flash memory). I might just play it in ...

@AlexW00d said:@mcderby4 said:@AndrewB: Yeah that's odd about the added amount of RAAM you have making little difference at all. Too bad there isn't a way to replace the graphics card in MacBook's or I would've gotten rid of it years ago.The extra RAM would make no difference whatsoever, even if you had 32GB. Trying to a modern game on a 4 year old budget ass card (at the time even) ...

I can't believe the thing I'm obsessing over right now is what memory to buy for my new PC build. Everything else is bought.

@ajamafalous said:Honestly, Nightmare feels about where Normal in D2 was. I think they must've shifted the difficulties down a half-step or something, to make Normal much more accessible. But, goddamnit people, the difficulty levels are linear in Diablo. It's New Game+, not "How much of a challenge do you want?"It's just tough to see it as "more accessible" when the accessible option is not "easy" and there's no way to ...

Level 60 finally. Started Inferno. I have issues with the way the mode handles some things, but overall, it's been an enjoyable if not severely sleep-deprived week.

Why I read some people's blogs on this site is beyond me. I guess I just can't help, but to read it even though I know it's going to be garbage.
