After finishing Diablo 3 once I will never go back to that game - I had forced myself to finish it, hoping that things would get better but they never did (I call it "the FF13 syndrome"). T2 is more fun but I can only take it in short doses.

While I think PC gaming is great (for the likes of Steam and GOG.com), this is why my primary platform of choice are consoles. All you do is put in the game and play.

Well, unless you're playing Skyrim on a PS3... ;D

@Fattony12000: I got my DS code about 1-2 days before release, but couldn't pre-load.

@Mnemoidian: Yeah, the quote does not resemble anything from the books in both content and tone.

Still, I/we can hope? I need something to keep me going until Jan after all :D

Obsidian has revealed "Project X" and has shown this image on their website. The words say: "What do the words mean?" "Nothing. The Dirge of Elr Glanfath is sound without form, a lone voice crying out in mourning because it must." This game is probably The Wheel of Time which has been dormant since it was announced back in 2010. What do you guys think this tease is for Obsidian's next game?

It's a WoT game, the symbol above is an Aes Sedai symbol that sybolizes the continuity of time. Here:

@insanejedi: Your argument is invalid and here's why - the stores that you've chosen to compare are all in different markets, they're not Steam's competitors (Apple Mac Store is the only one that operates in the same space as a portion of Steam). Look up what it takes to put your game up on Desura, GOG or Gamersgate come back and make an argument that is actually valid.

@MKSKILLZ16: Well, do I even need to argue when you seem to be arguing all sides of the discussion anyway?

Also, with all the "why should you care" questions being thrown around I ask "why should you not care"?

@baldgye: the mchanics wont change. You still have to decide when to build workers and to actually build them every x seconds or so. Knowing how many workers you have isn't a skill, it's busy work that brings nothing to the table. If base saturation can be solved this way and if that's the only thing differentiating people in the lower leagues then getting rid of the artificial problem can only be a good thing.

Kickstart it if you can't afford it. This will restrict access to all the cheap fakers who would've otherwise filled the board with pointless crap - see the 3 recommended Skyrim mods.

Though I dislike the worker counter... really should be removed

Personally, I love it.

because you can't count? Being able to box your workers and work out if you have built enough is a pretty fundamental skill you should have if you're to play the game at anything above gold level....

Oh you, can count, gg. It always seemed like such a vital skill to have in sc2 and not just a simple inconvenience. Build orders, macro, micro... no it's all about whether a couple of gas mining workers/marines get in the way or not.
