Vinyl records are awesome. I'll never buy another CD in my life, now that music is available widely in digital formats, but I sure as hell would buy records.
@the_laughing_man: They do? I thought you didn't get charged until the day it ships so if the price changed it wouldn't matter. Never pre-ordered on there as their shipping is terrible and I wouldn't get the game until several days to a week after it comes out.
If the price goes down, you get charged the lower amount. But if the price goes up, they honour the price they said.
If people preorder at $60, and the final price ends up being higher, Amazon would have to honour the $60 price. They set the placeholder price at $100 so that can't happen.
Rorie has been absolutely awesome through all of this. It's obviously a really stressful situation to be in, but he held his cool and kept everything under control (well, as much control as is possible when a hacker has access to your account, anyway). He's barely had enough time to settle into his new role, and he's been thrown into situations like this. Here is something he posted in a PM with the mods:
Yeah, it's probably that this gentleman is accessing the site through a few staff accounts. So he can probably read this PM thread and such. If that's the case, then hello!

All this is going to do is further segregate the multiplayer communities on mobile devices. Cross platform play between iOS and Android seems fairly trivial to implement as long as the iOS version doesn't use GameCentre. Now you've got a similar service on Android, further complicating things.
Polygon is reporting that it's available for iOS as well, though real-time matchmaking is Android exclusive "for now".
Huh. Wasn't expecting that. Apple usually make it a pain to get apps on the store that compete with their own apps. Remember how long it took Amazon to get the Amazon Music app approved.
In that case, this might make the segregation in the mobile space less common.
That's pretty awesome. Playing with it now. What is up with google street view though? Did they drive inside this weird old abandoned building, because it's basically just an adventure game now, where I'm able to explore every room inside this place.
Street View is weird these days. I was playing geoguessr yesterday with a bunch of guys on the Giant Bomb Gaming Hub IRC, and I got one on the middle of a snowy hill. No road or anything, just a snowy hill with nothing but snow and trees. But that's nothing. One of the guys got the middle of a restaurant. Not outside a restaurant, but right slap bang in the middle of a restaurant.
