Rights exclusivity is even more backwards than the common stipulation that once said contracts have expired, any and all related products can no longer be sold.

I want to care but then i look how ME1 relationships and decisions were included in ME2 and i lose every interest.
Another thing that i have issue with is that for a game set in space i felt so limited and claustrophobic. I hope that they will open up ME4.

WTH the NPCs are like the best thing about ME. Without them the series would be a shell of itself.
But Bioware threated ME1 side characters like disposable thing in ME2
ME2 felt like soft reboot on that field.crazyrabbits

That's the thing, though. A lot of the teasers and plot hooks that are set up in ME2 either never come to fruition or are horribly mismanaged.
Liara becoming the Shadow Broker? Doesn't mean anything to gameplay, and the yeoman gives you more information, intel and updates on a regular basis than Liara does (and, if you didn't finish the DLC, characters react with astonishment and make you feel like an idiot). The Rachni Queen? Regardless of whether or not you saved her, a queen still shows up (and the only thing that changes is a point value). Legion's "Dyson cube" quest? Doesn't matter, and the Geth are suddenly deadset on becoming individuals
Don't get me started. People who claim that either haven't played the game or are woefully ignorant of the game's problems. It starts with the terribly rushed and confusing prologue mission and goes downhill from there. There are a few good points, but I consider to be a betrayal of just about everything ME1 and 2 stood for (and that wasn't much, mind you)..

I agree, NPCs are the best thing about ME, combat is mediocre and story is cliche, but NPCs were really well done with interesting pasts and conflicts.

What? No. Bros Garrus and Wrex were amazing in ME2. So was the Shadow Broker (if you had the DLC)
Yeah. Two days ago I read that they were updating to add captcha. Real recent change.

Ok...Thanks! Well if this is the case all tradebots and trashbots wont work
This would be really cool, but I'm terrible at captchas.
The various pieces of unlicensed DLC disappeared over the course of ~a couple of months whereas the situation with Colonial Marines and AvP 2010 was rectified quite quickly.
The European version has been removed for a while, no? Just one single piece of dlc was available.
Actually, yeah, there's a third "Removed store name" item in the history tab dated a couple of months ago. Curse you, relatively low-resolution laptop!
Captchas are the bane of my existence.

The new "I am not a robot" captchas are pretty sweet though, stop being so roboty!

Is this a new form of verification?
Good. I'm all for it.
The captchas are a pain. Valve's own poorly designed, slow and unreliable UI and its severe lack of functionality are why people resort to 3rd party programs for trading. They should fix their own shit before even considering making it harder for folks to use workarounds.
At the very least, there's no point in running a captcha on every single trade between two accounts that trade frequently. It would be just as effective to captcha the first few trades, and then not again for many months. And there's no point in ever running a captcha for a trade where your own side is empty (= gift to you).

All -3- ones have a blue at each end guaranteed (when there are 4 hexes). That should help you with quite a few.
PandaPedinte

You're right, it helped cleaning part of the right side.
Well where that -3- is on the top left - that is your starting point. There can only be two more blues around it that can not all be connected (hence -3-) but also the column that is also housing two hexagons is labeled -2- ie two blue squares can not be together. The answers are there to get you started

With this captcha sometimes all you have to do is tick and sometimes enter text and tick. Changes nothing really.
To get the ball rolling the center column {5} indicates that there is five hexes connected, you already have four connected, so the only possible place a hex can be in that column in one above or below the chain. You can clear out the ones on the bottom of the column.
Yeah, I think Valve should have taken into account trade history over the preceding 28 days and whitelisted the accounts with which you've traded at least once every seven. Also, ReCaptcha doesn't at all help in cases where an account has been hijacked, so a better idea would have been to implement both Steam Guard and Google Authenticator for the additional confirmation layer -- the former for those without a/who'd rather not fiddle with a smartphone and the latter for those who'd rather not have to check their e-mail.

I gotta get that Hexcells Infinity (and play Hexcells Plus too, I've almost 100%'d the first one though)

Wolfenstein deserves the praise it gets. I thought it was mainly because of the gameplay but turns out there's also a good story here with decent writing and interesting characters.
Here is a perfect game for a lazy Sunday. Enjoy.

I think it's one of the more overrated games of 2014 based on the number of people that said it was something special prior to my buying and playing it as well as the number of times I saw it pop up when people posted their Steam GOTY votes. That's not to say it's not a solid FPS, but I don't see it as GOTY material at all. The first 3 missions were pretty good overall... especially Mission 2. That might be my favorite part of the game.
