"Gamers", or at least a small portion of them, haven't changed at all. I remember when Jack Thompson was railing against violence in video games 10 years ago. He received the same death threats and verbal abuse that video game writers are getting today. Trolls and disgruntled individuals within the gaming community are nothing new. It's just now that they're targeting the left side of the political spectrum instead of the right.
@thecitizenkaneofthings: Sure, on a surface level. The north also had an economic incentive based around slavery and Lincoln was trying to preserve the Union more then anything else. Let's just not pretend that it was solely a moral issue and praise Lincoln in that respect.
@forkboy: I'm well aware that succession was largely due to slavery, but the civil war was just an exercise of federal over state power, not some kind of crusade for the betterment of blacks. The north and the south both had their own economic reasons for being involved in the conflict. It would have been better for the south to abolish slavery on its own eventually then through a war that cost them hundreds of thousands of lives. Lincoln's no hero, just another bloodthirsty politician.
I have to agree with the people saying that if it were a match-up between New Vegas and The Witcher 2, it would be a much more difficult decision. Fallout 3 was a poorly written game with a lot of repetitive environments and poor graphics/animations. I guess it has a pretty good atmosphere, but I feel that overall it just shows how lazy Bethesda has become. The Witcher 2 on the other hand is mostly well written and is extremely visually impressive in pretty much every way. Huge improvement over the first Witcher game, especially considering that it comes from Polish developers that probably have a tenth of the resources that Bethesda have (not that this has anything to do with the game's quality, but is interesting nonetheless).
This may be a stupid question but do you need to have the games in their cases when you bring them in? Cause I squirreled all those away and just have my games in a book now...
I drove over to Futureshop today (it was at about 10am) and the lineup was freaking massive. Probably 300 people, easily.
So I said fuck it and went home. I wasn't going to wait in line for up to 2 hours and not be guaranteed a game. Maybe next time something happens like this I'll wake up a bit earlier.
Same here. I went in about an hour ago and there were hundreds of people, so I just left.
@bigjeffrey: That's a sick gif. And I don't often use the word "sick".
I'll probably just cruise around for the first few hours (after completing whatever amount of story there is in the beginning) and listen to the radio while admiring the scenery of Los Santos and carefully follow traffic laws.
