I went to see Watchmen with a bunch of my friends. They went to go get us seats, and I went to get us snacks. I walked back into the packed theater, not knowing where they were, so I said "ka-kah! ka-kah! (like a bird)" and everyone in the theater looked to see where I was, which is how my friends told me where they were. Once the rest of the theater realized what I did, they started laughing and gave me a round of applause. I took a bow and took my seat. That was pretty awesome. An old classmate of mine who I haven't seen in a while was there, and we were able to talk because of it.

Letting her use your phone, sure. Letting her get into your car with no questions asked... maybe not. It was late, she was alone, she had no phone and (seemingly, from your story) wouldn't tell you her name or anything. I've done stuff to help out random strangers, but don't ever risk your own safety for one. But I don't think you did anything wrong. As was said many times, you probably found her attractive, which made you act the way you did. The way I see it, though, is that you made it through the night with both of your kidneys, but you didn't ask her for a phone number or something to get a hold of her to maybe learn more about her?

You didn't do anything wrong, just be a little more careful next time.

Fucking Bed of Chaos...

Yes... YES! The Bed of Chaos is the most broken, unfun boss in video game history.

There was a time when I was much younger and it didn't even occur to me the possibility of peeing in the shower. The day I realized it, I never went back. I do it every time now pretty much.

The guys that inflict Toxin on you in Blighttown are a real problem. The best way to get past them is to go to the forest and kill the tree people so they drop the herbs that cure it. You could also kill the first forest boss while you are there. Get a handful of those toxin cures, head back to Blighttown, and use the cures to kill the toxin dart shooter guys (who don't respawn when you rest or die).

An EXTREMELY easier way to get down to Blighttown is to use the Masterkey (provided you picked it as a gift), head down to New Londo Ruins via Firelink Shrine, and after the elevator, take an immediate right into a spiral staircase. You can unlock the gate there with the Masterkey which takes you to Drake Valley (I think) and then you cross a wooden plank and there's a cave to the right of the plank. The cave leads you to the bottom of Blighttown, right next to a bonfire AND the boss. It's much easier to go that way than through the depths.

I hate Blighttown so much. The framerate is a terrible, the enemies hit really hard, and it's a LONG way between bonfires. The faster way you can get in and out, the better.

Well, MAYBE they could get away with it for the monthly's, but the people who paid for a year would be royally screwed if they saw it and wanted to cancel. I know that if that were to happen, they would lose me as a subscriber, and I'm sure many others. It just doesn't make business sense.

I'm kind of disappointed that Witcher 2 isn't on that list, as that is my choice.

A bad port on PC that comes to mind would be Dead Island which is, in many ways, a broken, unplayable mess, not to mention that to change weapons you have to open a radial menu, which on the PC is a huge pain. Another that comes to mind is the still-ever-janky GTA4 PC version which still gets crap framerate to this day on high-end machines. Resident Evil 4 which treated the mouse as an analog stick is another one (along with no graphical options for people with lower-end PCs). Brink, in which the graphics could literally not exceed low settings for a good while, but yet the framerate was still horrible, not to mention the match-making being impossible.

There's plenty of example of bad PC ports. I play games on every system equally, but I can see how PC gamers would be upset over rushed ports with bad optimization. That said, having played Space Marine on PC (at least the demo), it ran buttery smooth and the controls were fine.

I did it because I can afford $5 a month right now, which might not be the case later or at all for some people. It is pretty cheap, but at the same time, there hasn't been too much content. They can't really lock away free users from most of the stuff, but at the same time, the past year has only really had the Happy Hour for subscribers (and the occasional thing here and there).

They don't really have a schedule or any other features except the Happy Hour right now for subscribers. If they post an article and said "Here, this is what you will be getting" then I'm sure more people would be willing to sign up. The subscription has been out for a year and there really isn't that much to show for it. They're just now getting around to talking about better subscriber content. But really, the future of subscriber content is up in the air and is still anyone's guess. We know we have the Jeff Gerstmann Hall of Fame, and... that's about it. Happy Hour is being changed, Dave and Vinny's PC game thing isn't set in stone, and the only real subscriber bonuses we know for sure we're getting (or have already) are HD content, set-top box support, and mobile sites. That may be enough for some, but I don't use any of those except for HD.

I do really enjoy all of their content, though, and am glad to give them $5 a month. I have that to spare. Like it has been said, it's more of me supporting what they're already doing than getting the bonuses the subscribers get.

We don't even know what the DLC is yet. I have a hard time getting upset over something I don't know about. And, as it's been said before, this is relatively cheap for a modern release. Lest we forget that Call of Duty charges $15 per piece of content.

I'll make up my mind about it once they announce what it is, but first impressions are that it's relatively cheap. I don't know why it's getting hate already.
