A friend was all excited that Saints Row 3 is coming to GWG, and was going to get a temp gold pass to download it. Guess they can't do that now.

NFC and Pokemon remakes?

No thanks. I know plenty of people will eat that shit up, but I'll pass.

Still wondering where the middle road is between this, and what King was doing with their products.

The entire thing speaks to the very heart of what is wrong with our consumer-dependent, capitalist-focused society.

When I think about the games I own and have bought, half of them I only bought because they were cheap and probably will never play, or only play briefly. More than ever there are SO MANY games, and SO MANY GOOD games. Heck, there's more "must-play" games out there these days than most people could ever really get though. If you don't do sales the only way to stand out is either already have a reputation or just get really lucky.

I admit I take advantage of sales, but I agree the culture of "it'll be on sale later" is getting out of hand.

I wish I could care enough to buy a Wii U. Well hopefully they'll finally pull their heads out of the sand and stop acting like it's still the 90s.

I like it! Letting us know more up front that this is a slice of an unfinished game, and potentially subject to massive change, is a good idea. :)

The whole time I played through Gone Home (given what I heard I made sure to go in as blind as possible) I really expected some sort of killer or supernatural thing to jump out at me. The fact that I thought that, but it didn't happen is a real testament how well crafted the game was. It took me to a different time when I was young and those thoughts would pop up in my head if I was in that situation.

I'm starting to cave on Brothers. Not that I thought it'd be bad, just that I decided it was one of those games that I just didn't have time to try. That quick look didn't help either. It's pretty cheap on 360 today... Hmm...

This site doesn't talk about Internet Swatch Time enough anymore. :(

Also... "Jim Sterling is moving on from Destructoid. Smart dude." Had to reread that, first thought was meant as a diss to Destructoid. :p

I've cared very little up to this point about a Steam box, and this isn't helping.

I'm still not completely sold on this, but that's from my eShop experience. From what I'm hearing this will be more like how Steam handles their currency? I can get behind that.

I also need to download the update and check it out... but that would cut into getting excited for PAX time.
