That sounds rad. I'm surprised they didn't do something like this sooner.

I fear I may have just committed one of my patented over-shares.
I'm an expert
Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
Just say "this is the internet, don't believe everything you read" and then never post in this thread again. People will forget! I swear!
All hail EA for pushing the video games medium forward!
I died a little on the inside writing that, even if I was being facetious.
Doesn't not being able to save and reload kill a lot of that experimentation?

Whoa, I just noticed how their video players saves your place across devices. My iPad resumed where I was on the PC.

With Ira Glass
The real fun will be when they shut the servers down in 15 months.

That worked for me the first day and then stopped working from then on.

You underestimate the power of the Sim brand.
You underestimate EA.
Hahaha, well done.
And thank you for the offer, daycru. Hoping it'll be a good one tonight. I want my Undertaker vs. CM Punk build up already.
Pre-order Simcity 6 now!
You underestimate SIM fans.

EA still make Sims 3 expansion packs
If this has anywhere near the success of that, it's here for years yet

Yep. If it's successful, they'll release another one and shut down the servers for this one. If it's not successful, they'll just shut down the servers.
Jesus. I wish I knew how to drive.

Why does the video quality options on giant bomb only have good or total dog shit?
Driving's easy, it's following the rules that's hard.
Yay! Been looking forward to this one. It'll probably be the deciding factor in whether I wait to buy the game
EDIT: Wow.. that is REALLY small.
that should still be working (tho we had a glitch that erased progress points last week). Make sure you are logged in.

Ugh. SimCity. I feel like it was rushed at some point. Too many compromises and bugs for how elaborate and ambitious the simulation was done. It seems like they wanted something grander and got smack by the EA reality stick.
I see potential in organized regional play but it should have been something better.

I dont know, I'm a non-subscriber and their videos look terrible to me quality wise.
"chicken breast sliced like this"
"I dip it in beaten eggs, and then bread it with fritos"
"and this is a mayo sriracha aioli or whatever"
when he shows the chicken it looks to be fried, I could be wrong but to me it looks as if it was pan fried.
If I am wrong and this recipe is out there please correct me.
HD on Roku is pretty swell.

I watch itnon the roku ap on my nexus 7 and the low quality is artifacted to hell and back, while the high option is watchable.
Such a huge discrepancy between the 2 files too. 170 mbs for low and 910 mbs for high.

Etrian Odyssey 4 is on the docket for QL tomorrow; I wonder if Kessler's back to do it like last time?

It was a pretty shit Monday, so I don't blame 'em.
This is why I love Patrick.
I'm really surprised they're even bothering to quick look it. The last one with Matt didn't even go past the first floor and he seemed like the only one half-interested in the series.
Patrick trying it out makes sense, hopefully he's spent some time with it and the quick look isn't just going over stuff in the first land.

I'm watching the last TNT, and I feel like Brad Muir is the human embodiment of the 
emoticon.
emoticon.Hey Brad,
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but please, next time you find yourself thinking "could these game developers sue those other game developers?", just please slap yourself in the face as hard as you can to shake those awful thoughts off. Trust me, nobody wants games to go down that path. If you don't trust me go read an RMS essay on the subject and I'm sure he'll agree.
He's posted a bit about it on twitter and his tumblr. He says he gave it a fair shake, can see the appeal but doesn't have the time to go down that rabbit hole. I wouldn't expect any in-depth discussion about optimal lineups, or him being aware that subclassing exists. I'm glad that it's getting covered though, the EO series fills a gap that no other current games do.

What's all this about Trials? This thread is the first I'm hearing of it.

So huh..not to add oil to the fire but there's a new Sessler Something video up and he talks about the game he was raging about on Twitter this week-end.
He can't name it but he received it on friday and the embargo is up on thursday this week... Hmmm, so I guess it could be Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, God of War or Starcraft.
My bet is on GoW.

Telling someone to go read Stallman is probably not a good way to make them consider your argument seriously, the guy is off the deep end.
In general, I don't get why people continually jump to the conclusion that we endorse an idea or viewpoint just because we discuss it. It's just food for thought, dude. Regardless, even if Urban Trial isn't actionable, it sure is crass.
Blizzard doesn't send out games early, and even if they did, you couldn't play them.
