In an effort to make gaffers feel at home, I will post some gay glitches in Fifa.

Anyone can basically create a new forum. The problem is everything else. NeoGAF has been a relatively sizable and reputable site for well over a decade. You can't just rebuild that in an instant.

It was never perfect, but it's probably about as close to a well-maintained, tolerable, massively active gaming forum you can get. I was a fan of the strict moderation and account approval process. There was a sense of consequence that guided people to be less shitty than usual. Generally brought up the level of discourse. Which is more or less the reason for the site's success. There were a lot of good people and talks there. NeoGAF was good, shame the people running it weren't.

I do still hope Evilore's supposedly still forthcoming statement will somehow manage to salvage NeoGAF, but I'm not expecting it to.
I expect I'll be migrating to over here and Waypoint.

Think I've been on there since like 2005. I hope I'll continue to be.

So how would one change which video player Video Buddy uses by default? The system default only seems to apply to local videos.
I googled the shit out of it. Up yours, problem!
I installed VLC (because free, no ads and good reputation), held the play button in Video Buddy, chose VLC as default, and now when I hold the play button it starts videos in VLC and it's working fine.

Mobile site in Chrome on LG D802 will load videos, but only in Auto.
The error message plays with what looks like the usual GB player. As do videos in Auto. It is weird.

EA not calling this studio EA Quebec gives one some hope. We'll see if they'll get to expand on something of their own after this first project.

That first thing Warner Bros did here, push out a game not fit for purpose, is about as unsurprising as it is shitty. So is their initial response of "hey, just like, change the settings or something" and "we'll fix it at some point". But this, suspending sales of an AAA game, that's a first, right? And of course you automatically suspect it's because of Steam's recently implemented refund policy. I hope that it's actually pushing publishers towards taking some responsibility for the state of their games and discouraging shoddy events like these from happening in the first place. Even if this results in PC versions getting delayed for a month or three, that would absolutely be preferable.

I let GMG's low price fool me into a pre-purchase against my better judgment, so shame on me for that. Though GMG came through following WB's statement and are now offering refunds, I hope they manage to update their quite bad refund policy. The issue there seems to be they can't revoke or replace the key they sent out, only Valve can do that, and apparently Valve doesn't have staff or a system assigned to handle those kinds of reseller requests? Valve just needs to verify the request with the user, revoke the key, remove game from library, and send GMG a new one. Why is that not a thing?

Anyway, I've no idea how that stuff actually works, that's their problem to fix, and until they do, this will likely have been my last ever GMG pre-purchase. I feel there's a limit to how much I value this consumer protection in terms of a monetary amount, versus the risk of a specific game ending up bullshit, but in general I will not pre-order from anywhere that doesn't have a decent refund policy. I will never pre-order from Steam (or Origin) on account of their prices being ridiculous. €60+ is overcharging by €15+. Think GOG is the only store I'd consider at this point.

The massive question now that we have FO4 revealed is..

..is there even a snowballs chance in hell that there is another FO game in development by the team that did NV?

Not that I ain't super excited for this..but more big open rpgs like this are always good.

The problem with Bethesda from the angle of someone playing their games is that their writing tends to be...not very good. Obsidian was a perfect match. But unfortunately from the angle of an independent game studio, Bethesda is basically Satan. So no, I don't think so.

Gave them a tenner quidsterling. I'm not really looking for a resurgence of 90-00's 3D platformers, but I appreciate the easy-going, waffling nature of them. There's so few of them nowadays, especially quality ones. I'm cool with one appearing every now and then.
