This is why I don't take pictures/video of anything.

This is why I'm planning on gouging my eyes out and living in a cave for the rest of my life.

Not surprised to see some really poor ideas showing up! The worst offenders are the attempts at blanking out the punchlines of references that are only funny because of the punchline. Meaning they will never end up funny. I'm admit it's really difficult to come up with good stuff, though. I find it helps to keep the name of the game in mind. It's Cards Against Humanity, so get your filthy, offensive and inappropriate on!

Yeah, seriously. I only know one guy in person who'd get even half of these jokes: my brother. So in the mean time, make them so that regular jerk-offs can get it. I don't want this to be a bunch of MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS in my expansion deck, stuff I need to either explain or just say "just grab something else" to my uncle or to my classmate.

I've played from the start to Smough and Ornstein with Durante's mod and I've had no issues with a GTX570 @2560x1440 resolution.

Other than hey, Blighttown still has FPS issues (without trying without the hack, I believe stems from a framerate lock where if the game can't make a consistent 30fps, then it locks down to 15fps, even if your computer is able to perform say, 28fps) this has been going great!

Oh noes, I signed away my right to get a check for $3.50 when they shut down Steam and I can't play my games anymore!

It sounds like there are still legal routes we can take, so I think I'm good with the revised TOS.

Haven't they long said that they've had a dooms-day switch in the case they can't stay open anymore? Time will tell, I guess. Maybe it'll be a thing where we're like all 80 years old and we read on our space newspaper (not internet, space) that a cybernetic Gabe Newell took all of his knives and made a knife-filled pipe bomb and blew up the Steam server farm in a last act of defiance and we'll go "oh... I used to have a Steam account until Apple released the Siri sex robot and we all forgot about video games. Well 'eff him, where is Episode 3?"

After thinking about it, often times your "favorite game ever" are not ones that you'd particularly like to play today. Like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. I probably played the single player game over 15 times, but today I'd be bored if I played it again.

1. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2
3. Red Dead Redemption

Uhhgg. You mean they're making another videogame that I'll probably love after I've grown tired of the last?

Oh, and EA wants to make money? Of course they do. I'm all over Battlefield, but I don't give a shit about Medal of Honor, so this just makes marketing sense to make a person like me buy another game that I'd probably just go "meh" over.

So Medal of Honor/Battlefield cycle for now, eh?

It's a realization I think I sorta came to when reflecting on the incredible prices on a TI 83 calculator. They charge that much because they can.

So, as always. Buy if it jives with your desires (all DLC and then few other bonuses). Don't buy if you're not into that thing (don't plan on getting all of the DLC; don't see the bonuses as valuable). What I think is funny is that if this was a $50 season pass-esqe deal, that all it came with was all the DLC, then I don't think anybody would complain. Add stuff in, suddenly they're shitting all over everyone... which is kinda true. To raise one up you gotta push one down.

Big BF3 fan here. First I was "pfft, what ever. Some other people can throw away their money" -- but when it said it came with the expansion packs in the price... Yeah, I'm getting this. I'm going to buy all the expansions, anyway. BF3 is going to be a regular source of video-game fun for probably another year. Just a personal observation. Works for me.

I think the premise is kind of hilarious, considering I've never seen anyone have the basis of their story revolve around a computer register input incompatibility. 0x10c is still an odd name though. Depending on the input style, it is either

0x0001 0000 1100 or 0x1100 0000 0001. Neither one of those is the number mentioned in the story, so I wonder what it is supposed to mean.

The C in the name is supposed to be in superscript. So it's really 0x10^C.

A = 10, B = 11, C = 12

So it's 0x10-to-the-twelth-power.

0x...1 0000 0000 0000 (twelve 0s)

Which is 0x0001 0000 0000 0000, as to the joke of the story of the game's name.

I'm actually in the middle of taking two classes on this junk, going to be dealing with MIPS assembly soon. But my lack of understanding is why do you represent the friggin year in 256 bits? How do you mess up so bad that you represent a 16-bit number and miscast it as a huge hexadecimal number with 16 figures?
