I think it's only logical that they don't release another multiplayer shooter along with their new game and split the player base. and an MW2 remaster with multiplayer would absolutely trounce any of the newer CODs in popularity.

But hey maybe if if your game isn't good enough to compete with 9 year old remaster, you need to rethink your strategy and do something fresh with the series.

Casting issue, On Sony Android TV which has a Chromecast built in.

so whenever I cast, it seems to use the current volume of the video in the browser (which 100% by default), as the value that the volume gets set when the 'Cast' get initialized.

This is fine on a normal chromecast plugged into an hdmi slot, as the Chromecast's volume is independent to the TV's Volume (kinda like having your phone plugged into a speaker). Having the Chromecast volume set to 100 is fine then, as the TV might be set to 15 or something and it will still only go that loud. (I've tested this on a chromecast in another room)

My problem is there is no separate volumes with the built-in Chromecast, The volume of the chromecast IS the volume of the TV. So if i cast a video the volume defaults to 100 on the TV and absolutely blasts out my speakers. (Nothing puts the fear of god into you more than hearing a noise about 70 times louder than you expected and the resulting panic looking for the remote)

I've had to start turning off my external speakers, cast the video, I see my TV's volume shoot up to 100 hundred, I then turn my volume down to 10 or so, then restart my speakers.

it's probably a niche enough use case, but i have seen Youtube and netflix use a different default volume value when interacting with a regular chromecast and a built-in chromecast

Wow some of you in the states have some pretty rough deals, do companies have monopolies in certain cities or something? couldn't imagine paying that much for just Internet and then still having to worry about a cap.

my experience in ireland: i'm on 360mbps down totally unlimited + my TV as well, for 85 euros which is just under 100 dollars (I was getting it for 45 euros for the first couple of months as part of a promotion). Then my Phone is only 20 euro a month (24 dollars) for free texts, free weekend calls and totally unlimited data (think it might have a fair use policy, but i've never hit it)

The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II - The Rise of the Witch-King

bloody thing has 2 hyphens, a dash, a colon, and roman numerals, stick "origins" on the end and we would have the full shebang

p.s. box art also has "Expansion pack" added

The problem i have with people complaining about the ending of 3 is most of them define the ending as the last few minutes + the choice. i've always been of the mind that the "ending" of that game and the trilogy was the moment when all the ships jump back to earth to the credits, a good 1-2 hours of content.

I have been looking for a case for my switch since launch. I decided i don't want anything with a hard shell or zips and have been squeezing my switch into a woolly hat for a few trips in my backpack as it does a nice job protecting the screen. Something similar to these phone "Socks" i've seen around would be ideally want i want.

I have had some luck on Etsy, but the ones i have found are only taking preorders and won't ship for another few months.

if anybody has seen something like this for the switch, a nod in the right direction would be appreciated. or is there any other marketplaces i could try that i'm maybe not thinking of?

p.s. if all else fails, I will settle for a ball of wool, needles and knitting instructions.

if your planning on taking them up to the top flight, you are probably going to be buying and selling a good few players, are you setting a hard rule that you wont sell the the GB crew?

Okay just to add onto the discussion would you be willing to buy a game and possibly only play a bit or never play it, if you happen to watch a full let's play of a game and really enjoyed it? I know this probably applies less to freeform games and more to story driven games. lets say something like "Wolf among us" or "her story"

So last week Mount and Blade: Warband released on PS4, now I've played nearly 40 hours of Warband on PC, so the chances of me diving back in and putting another 40 hours or even playing it for any extended time are very slim. But I ended up buying it anyway just because i loved the game and hopefully means more games from the developer in the future.

I find myself doing it more and more recently, I already think I'll re buy Jazzpunk (probably the funniest game I've ever played) when it releases this week and I've been tempted to pick up Prison Architect again (30+ hours already on steam). Then In the past I've bought lots of double fine's games (Grim fandango,Broken Age,Brutal legend twice), All of Mike Bittle's games, Tom Francis's Gunpoint and a lot of other indie games, really just because I like the developers or have just enjoyed one of their games from years ago.

I would love to think that my contribution helps the developer and that I'm voting with my wallet, but if i don't end up playing the games, is it really worth it?
