EquitasInvictus

The archives are definitely subscriber but I know Scrub Leagues in TNTs at the very least are universally available streamed and actually accessible on Twitch. So I don't think the Scrub League strictly needs to be subscriber content; I feel like Giant Bomb already has a fair breadth of semi-regular subscriber content as is to eliminate the need for making Scrub League subscriber-only as it might have been originally.

If GameSpot and GiantBomb collaborated for *Professional Wednesdays (mistyped it on my original post), I'm sure a Scrub League could be worked out; but yeah, it would definitely not be subscriber-only.

If they get GameSpot in on it I think they definitely would have a good pool for Scrub Leagues. That'd be a much better live stream since they're not doing regular Professional Wednesdays anymore!

Aaahhhhhhh this thread is making be crave a new Scrub League.

Ladies and gentlemen, your product manager!

Shoot! Now I'm really worried The Sims 4 will end up being always online DRM and a very shoddily networked disaster somewhere between the latest SimCity and The Sims Online.

@animasta: Inbox notifications? Notifications make me feel loved!

I've also grown up on forums that do inbox notifications so not having them would be super odd for me!

I've had some weird issues with notifications from time to time but I don't get them in high volume anyway to be able to meter whether or not there is a delay or an AJAX-related issue. Do they even use AJAX for the inbox part of the dashboard?

That was the best feel-good final arc I've played in a video game for the longest time. It was so justifiably campy and over-the-top that it was a perfect conclusion for this game. I'd dare say it was a great, smooth recovery from what I remember of Far Cry 3's ending. If future Far Cry games don't learn from this in spite of the very nature of this game being tongue-in-cheek (which they probably don't really want to keep for the core Far Cry franchise), they will have missed out on something really great.

I never would have expected to be so pleasantly surprised from a game of this nature, especially with the Far Cry name coming out of Far Cry 3, but boy did this game show me.

Also, the Battle Dragon was the best. I know people were hating on half of the game's dialogue being out-of-place for an 80's parody sort of work, but I had the widest grin when the "I'm a firin' mah lazor" dialogue was dropped (and I usually HATE these kinds of references but I think that was pulled off so appropriately!)

I'm really sad I finished it now! Hopefully there'll be more games of this nature I'll have to look forward to in the future; this game should set some great precedents for its successors.

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.

I still have Revelations: Persona in my PSP Vita and I really want to crank that out along with Persona 2 Innocent Sin & Eternal Punishment before catching up with Persona 4: Golden. (Already played through P3: FES a while back so I'm trying to power through the rest of the series.)

Can ghost threads eat?

I'm guessing the forums' framework is breaking apart; there probably should be some type of user permissions regarding whether or not that thread/forum section should be visible to us that's being broken right now. (We probably shouldn't be able to see that thread or forum at all).

EDIT: Okay that statement about the framework breaking apart is an overstatement, it seems they fixed yesterday's weird post error problem that caused a lot of multi-posts.

Yeah my posts definitely look like they're about to post but the WYSIWYG editor gets spit back and an error prompt comes up even though the post actually did get through. Image incoming?

EDIT: Yeah that post made it through but the site made it look like it didn't.

I've been thinking about a Dev kit since I've gotta start planning on a senior design project for engineering and I feel like it'd definitely give me some inspiration and be nice to have at my disposal.

That being said I'd definitely wait for the consumer version, otherwise. I still might end up passing on the dev kit and waiting for a straight-up consumer one and solicit a professor to get one for me to tinker with in anticipation of both the consumer release and my design project.
