I'm so tempted to get The Witcher 3 right now... though I won't even play it immediately. Any chance it will be cheaper during the christmas sale?

Now stop being grim Jaw.
We'll get DC 1 and 2 on PC. They'll be touched up and have their pre rendered backgrounds scale well on new systems.

The Westwood Games retrospective was hilarious.

Westwood Games started the RTS* genre with Dune 2!** and Command and Conquer***! Then they were super succcessful!****. Now let's hear the founders of Westwood give a speech: "Do what you want to do in life, if that's make games, go for it!"*****. Yay for the spirit of game development******

* A genre that's now mostly dead.
** Which you can't buy anywhere because EA sucks at making their back catalogue available
*** You can buy some of these, but only on Origin******* because EA sucks at making their back catalogue available.
**** And got shut down after being bought by EA, which we won't mention.
***** one of the two guys managing a speech runs an art gallery, the other one made gambling games and then worked for zynga
****** next up: Geoff Keighley explains how a game publisher is using a fleet of lawyers to hold a game developer hostage and force him not to make public appearances, ain't game development grand?!
******* Origin is the name of another company EA bought and killed, just FYI.

Did not know that's where the Westwood founders went after EA killed it but yeah.

Should've thrown EA under the bus for killing Westwood (amongst other studios) but I guess Konami was an easier target since they pretty much quit the industry anyway.

Seems like TGA is really big and so many eyes are watching it. Kinda sad how lame all the World premieres were. You would think the show would have gotten some good stuff but the only big thing was TellTale Batman. Hopefully the show keeps growing so devs could give Keighley some megatons to drop next time.

Already crossed the 200 games removed mark. It's getting tedious now as I got all the bundle stuff in a couple sweeps and some of the shittier packages.

Which of the games listed through here aren't RTS?

Annoyed I forgot to buy Siege when it was going for 20 dollars, no one is selling the Nvidia codes in the bst thread and the price has been jacked way up on ebay.

There's no way permanently removing stuff isn't just a boolean in the database. They can't be actually deleting anything if you can get it back immediately from the support site :p

Drunk Jade Raymond announced that the woman from Her Story won best voice acting for Witcher 3. Her Story woman is hugging and guy is producer of Witcher 3. Everyone was confused.
 
Her Story won the award for best performance but the girl announcing it said Witcher 3 instead lol.

Lol, that's totally hilarious. I feel the guy.
Her Story deserved it though.
 
I thought it was one of the worst games I've played but I'm suddenly tempted to play Brutal Legend with it being mentioned as a potential fundraiser down the line. Those rts segments are so bad but it had a nice art style.
 
I caught up on the whole award show while I was at work.

I don't care about the actual awards but some sounded like a surprise.

Psychonauts 2 in the hands of current Double Fine I could care a lick about. Send me back in time 7 years and announce it.

A fucking Batman Telltale game.

No comment on Shaq Fu.

The rest of the show seemed to me just a normal show.

More garbage Idea Factory and Compile Heart games coming to Steam

Pretty much.

Just another day.
 
Hopefully the budget they've asked for Psychonauts 2 is enough in combination with private backing, I didn't play it but I heard even after all the delays part two of Broken Age was almost entirely reused assets and locations.
