Interesting old thread, I'll depend Contacts, I've wore contacts 95% of the time since junior high being (going on 15ish years) and rarely had any issues with them. Regular checkups and i have to pay for the higher priced lenses for my allergies but I'd rather do that then lose most of my peripheral vision. i have a pair of cheap glasses i wear sometimes i hate how they feel and look on me,

PS, it's always fun to freak people out when you touch your eye to "adjust"

Once Batman Akham Knight worked it wasn't horrible, I was lucky enough to still have it on steam right after the patch and i enjoyed it to the end, though i had no drive to 100% the fucking riddle shit. and couple days after i finished it they pulled it from my account. I had no interest in MGSV but i know some friends who enjoyed it and from how much the gb crew talked about it i highly doubt it will make the worst list, same goes with Destiny and the Witcher 3.

Tony Hawk is the biggest disappointment for me, I would LOVE to have a good skateboarding game to geek out on like i did with the first 3, I was really hoping they would hit gold again, but that didn't happen.

I would also throw my vote into Warcraft WoD just on how they put out the expansion, 2 content patches and announced another game expansion already with already less content then the last one and maybe 6months before it even drops. It feels that blizzard just wants Warcraft to die because they're making so much more money on the F2P model

seems the ubisoft marketing machine is in full spring this week, TV ads and long form playthoughts on youtube.I really hope it turns out to be a good game, I've had some fun times in past assassin creed games. but I'm skeptical after unity.

I'm in the same boat, haven't played the game since after launch, all the changes look interesting, but I'm on the fence about trying it again. A story would be a nice change.

I read it couple years back and enjoyed it to the point i loaned the book to some friends and they found it OK. One of them mentioned a theory on why i liked it more then him because I've played alot of MMORPGs and it circles around the mindset of a MMO gamer and the weird shit that happens in that community. F2P, world first, gaming espionage, and the goal of beating a world challenge, it has similarities to Sword Art Online anime just from a western point of view with retro callbacks.

I mention this now after just finishing armada the authors 2nd book and enjoying most of it. they don't compare to most Neal Stephenson novels but they are a fun read if you like the retro callbacks.

For me backwards compatibility is a cool idea but i rarely find myself going back and playing older games. However I have friends who have showed way more interest in picking up a xbone now that they announced backwards compatibility. I see it as more of a marketing pillow, its easier to sell a console knowing that your library will work rather then having that feeling of spending 400-500 dollars on a new console and have noting to play.

I'm curious if they thought about using the xbox360 to emulate the original xbone games that they made to work early in the 360s life.

I love my PC but i rarely buy new games at full price at release. too many games in recent years come out unplayable or at least optimized for PC and I'm ok with not being the bleeding edge on a new game. I usually give it couple weeks and see how well the developers have actively changed the game. I also thing if you pay full price for a PC game anymore you're spending extra then you need. Greenmangaming and other sites offer a flat % off most games, which usually includes pre ordered games, (I picked up Arkham Knight for $36.00) and I'm the fear of the game being horrible and never fixed is far easier to shallow when its 35 dollars compared to 65.

Console games i usually pick up after they come out on deals or even ebay, (yup, picked up the dreaded assassin's creed unity on xbone for 13 dollars and it was worth that much.) however I'm willing to pay full price for something different that i feel deserves full price and gives me an experience i can't get anywhere else, (sunset overdrive, spitoon, Bayonetta 2, DonkeyKong, Mario games)

I've backed three kickstarters, two were instrumental versions of video game music, and the last was a slimline wallet. all delivered with no issues. I haven't taken any big changes on the crowd funding

I've started multiple Zelda games but never completed them, Even picked up a 3DS with OoT on a steal on eBay but haven't been able to clear it. Also picked up a PS3 late in the cycle and been collecting some of the bigger names but haven't played most of them.

Also biggest shame is my /played on my wow characters

cool thing to do. Enter me in too. The collectors edition always seemed cool but never had the cash to shell out for the package .
