Wait, it is? Since when? That's awesome! I'll definitely pick it up now!

Just sold a bunch of stuff in Pillars or Eternity, had no clue what a lot of it did. Also I couldn't figure out how to sort the chest by weapon type or stats so I gave up There as well. Still enjoying PoE, but not the bigger fan of all this inventory management which I know is a big part of these kinds of games.

Bully: Hogwarts confirmed.
Fuck, that'd actually be kinda sweet, and I'm not a huge Potter fan.
I agree. What the hell is up with the inventory? It's such a damn mess with everything placed in no order at all. Makes selling items difficult, as you found out :/

You couldn't figure it out because you can only sort items manually within your stash (and each character's inventory).

Screw that I got time to play but not that much. There was like 3 pages worth.

I can actually understand where publishers are coming from on this one, at least until some clearer definitions come about. They're worried that any gamer can call themselves an archive and just pirate shit willy-nilly because they want free games. Heck, the Internet Archive says you can only use these for educational purposes (or something to that effect) but doesn't require any logins or anything, and let any old person download their games with pretty much no supervision. Even my local library requires me to have a library card if I want to borrow an e-book download, and even then they have limited copies because they can only have so many licenses for the book. If the Internet Archive actually operated like a library - limitations such as requiring an email address to log in, no more than three people can play a game at the same time - I'd be okay with them. Right now it just feels like an abandonware site wearing a tie to make itself seem official.
I can see an exception for MADE. They actually seem legit, but I'll admit I only gave their site a cursory glance. I can also see exceptions if actual government institutions such as libraries or museums want to lend software.
Mind you, copyright rulings for software (and anything else) are pretty fucked. I don't agree with this "life of the creator plus 90 years" or whatever it is nonsense that's the status quo (even though I abide by that legally,) but nor do I agree with the so-called abandonware's idea of "five years after release date and it should be fine." I'd say a nice compromise would be "if it's not available digitally or remade after 20 years, another company can petition the courts for the rights to sell it. If nobody petitions after another five years, it's public domain." ...Or SOMETHING. I'm just winging it.
I guess my point is, just cause something calls itself an archive, doesn't necessarily make it one. Publishers should have the right to call bullshit on that, but also should have to step aside when there are official archives and museums who want to do things with the games.

yeah, I totally understand ... but then again, they're saying stuff like that:
"They say that modifying games to connect to a new server (or to avoid contacting a server at all) after publisher support ends—letting people continue to play the games they paid for—will destroy the video game industry"

I'm going to play Tomb Raider, you guys. Hopefully it's less dreadful than thi4f.
Time to brace for disappointment.
In PoE, 95% of the items are junk. It should be obvious when you pick something of value up. Furthermore, valuable items are marked differently than common stuff so they can easily be seen before looting. Loot useful items to characters, and everything else to the stash.
The most unfortunate thing about the inventory system is that party members out of the party have inaccessible inventories, which is a real bummer.

Still, they can make it easier to arrange inventory items though. Guess it's my ocd talking, but shit, I want my items in some sort of order.
Tomb Raider is flawed, but a good game.
Thi4f is a dungheap with no redeeming qualities, gameplay wise. (Yes the music is nice, and it's pretty, I guess)

Just came around watching the new Deus Ex trailer.
Nice CG. The first one was better though. Still pretty cool.
Still think it's a bad choice to go with the same protagonist and time setting.
I hope Illuminati become a big role like in the original Deus Ex. That was crazy back then. Weishaupt, Rothschild, it had it all.

It looks like beta players who also bought the game got invited as well.
So we'll see lots of unused keys around for those who are interested.
actually, it seems they are auto applied. it was for me

The only redeeming quality thi4f has is that it ends.
(If anyone thinks this is hyperbole, play thi4f. You will be converted.)

listen to the mad man
Your three options are:
- 1Password: Expensive as heck yo
- LastPass: Free except for mobile, subscription $1/month
- KeePass: Free, but I personally don't like what mobile options are like

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Keepass2android has gotten some pretty good updates as of late. Definitely worth checking out for the price of free ninety-nine.

I want to uninstall the Souls games but I see DS1 has a cloud symbol but DS2 has none.
Can I delete DS1 and not manually backup saves and still have my save in the future when I want to replay?
Just installed GSM for DS2. Does deleting local files also remove save files or do they stay?

I didn't reach much of what was said before this, but whoever said this should be ejected into space without a suit.

I gotta give up on these side quests in pillars. They just eat so much time and I still have a lot on my plate. They are better than the typical fare though in RPGs.

Tomb Raider has already impressed me. Its linear traversal segments (e.g. scale this wall with conveniently placed pipes) contain the most natural-looking climbing paths I've ever seen... in said segments.

Oh come on, you can let him have a suit.
A business suit of course.
At least then he/she will be a well dressed space popsicle.
Yep! This will be something big and I cannot wait.
Don't make me come over there, take your 3DS in both hands and snap its spine.
