Just spent the last hour planning which skills to pass down in painstaking detail for Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Yeah, this happened to me last light... ran multiple cleaning programs immediately afterward to see if it was caused by some other malicious program. I don't remember what time it happened though, but I was certainly away from my keyboard then.

Welp, Xbox One, true to its name, actually has one game I'm interested in (Quantum Break) whereas the PS4 currently does not. Of course, all that stuff will change come E3. Excuse me if me wanting games to play on a video game console isn't forward thinking enough for you. I don't have cable television or care about motion controls, so my thoughts are in line with Vinny's. That's all I care about on this expensive end of the entertainment spectrum.

By the way, the Wii U currently has three forthcoming games that I want to play on it, but that doesn't mean I'll pick it up right away when they're out. I've still plenty of games to play through this generation and to go back to once I've put together my PC.

Theoretically, the PS4 is the sweetest deal but I anticipate their bark will turn out to be a dysfunctional mess (as in their networking and Ustreamin's) or even nonexistent on launch. Also, that stuff about no backwards compatibility and games locking to a console unless you pay a fee if it's secondhand? I'll buy an Xbox One and a PS4 to play Xbox One and PS4 games, simple as that. And I've been buying games new and using Steam for years - not one complaint, other than hoping more games would come out on PC this time around.

One thing I'll give to MIcrosoft's presentation is that what they've shown is probably the most reality-based, no what-ifs or buts, just hey, here's what we've got and will offer when the time comes. That's my takeaway from the whole thing, and I respect that.

Also, I'm running on three hours of sleep. Disregard any possibility of fanboyism or incoherence from me please.

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm a little tired of watching Dota 2. Been using it as background noise basically while I type out the sexiest spreadsheets, unable to intake anything interesting over the course of its usual one to two hour run-time with Daily Dota. I'm a little surprised that it stayed true to its name, even over the weekend. Brad, you've got problemos, mang... keep it up.

I'm currently in the deepest of Fire Emblem: Awakening holes and found this sweet wallpaper depicting most of the characters in the game. Just started using this on my secondary monitor. Enjoy, brahs. And yes, I cut shit off the bottom for the edited versions.

Two weeks until the next episode!

By the way, the girl that was with the Second Sons was played by Talitha Luke-Eardley.

I think Ryan sells all those PC games everyone's been sending to them at the pawn shop.

So as someone who missed out on Daily Dota today what the heck is it?

Oh no, it hasn't happened yet, and it isn't premium in case you were wondering. Its first installment is 14 hours from now.

@gaspower: I'm sure that that would be the case had I a group of friends that were into it. Same thing can happen with games like Call of Duty or Halo, games beyond my wheelhouse nowadays, but that doesn't mean I would turn down the chance to play if offered. I don't doubt that these games are fun with how popular they are, but playing games alone, as I am apt to do and prefer, doesn't urge me to become a better player at these types of games (both multiplayer- and strategy-focused), and I don't really mind. Strategy games like Fire Emblem: Awakening and Dragon Age: Origins, games I've been playing since February of this year, are what keep me going these days, and those games can last me months on just one playthrough.

Despite my disconnect with the games themselves, I don't mind watching them being played by people who enjoy them and by doing so be able to take a glimpse into eSports with Brad here spouting off his... passion for games like StarCraft or DotA.

Welp, can't edit my first post but all I really wanted to make was the poll. Oh well.

Soon

The forthcoming "Daily Dota" feature is soon upon us, and while I'm not a particular fan of the game myself, its grasp on Brad is quite alarming as he is the Anime Editor on the site after all and, not to mention, his seemingly unhealthy obsession at the moment if his stories on the Bombcast are to be believed. I've only played about half an hour worth of the game and realized it was not for me at all, having issues with similar games like Torchlight and Diablo with how... boring they are in almost every regard (also, my poor mouse shouldn't take all that clicking). Hearing Brad recount his daily adventures with the game on the Bombcast is my primary source on the subject, so I don't really mind whatever he has to spill, especially when he's talking about how odd it is to play with another person named Brad.

Anyway, while I don't think "Daily Dota" won't really be "Daily" like the name suggests (God, I hope not, for Brad's sake), do you think enough's enough? Or do you like this sudden spiral into Brad's demise is only a good thing?

Edit: Damn it, site, I just want to edit this.
