Remember the weird retail release of the new Transformers game I talked about before?
2 different copies of the game, one way more expensive than the other but had a definitive release date while the other didn't?
Now there's only one, the one with no release date :-/

Retail release would probably just be a steam key in a box anyway.

I don't know, I'd watch a grand epic like "It seems I received a ring from my uncle and now I have to leave my home and drop it into volcano to save the world."

Many of the ones with titles that long don't get localized in the first place. Fans would be upset if they did take a hacksaw to it, as it wouldn't be an accurate translation. Closest I can think of as an English analog would be Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, which is frequently shortened to Dr. Strangelove. It works since Dr. Strangelove is a unique enough phrase, but many of these long anime titles don't benefit from such when translated to English.
My Childhood Friend is a High School Girl and a Hero of Another World but It Looks Like There's More To Her Than That could be shortened to something like My Mysterious High School Hero Friend, but it wouldn't be an exact translation and loses the 'ring' of the original.
I say this thinking the overly long title trend is absolutely silly, of course.

It is unique and I love long silly ass titles.
EDIT: To expand, the long titles serves as an alternative "super-synopsis" that grabs the reader into taking interest. A title like "My Mysterious High School Hero Friend" will be glossed over quickly unless one decides to look at the synopsis. A title like that automatically tells the user what they are in for quickly and concisely.

Lol yeah, why did I remember Ore Imo instead of Ano Hana?

I still wonder who reads those "ecchi"-Light novels. I mean I read a lot of LNs, but never got why anyone would read LNs which just describe half naked 1000 year old fairies without any "deeper" plot.
I'd watch a FF movie sooner instead of until the 4th movie came out if it was called "I'm an undercover cop in an illegal racing circuit but I just fell for the main suspects sister".
Ecchi light novels are just there to stroke your ego and something else. There is usually never anything deeper. Until it ends with the most infuriating endings ever.

Oh that's why you quit playing so quick.
Man you are sick if you die to him. Get better damn it.
The best cure for shit health is Persona 4.
Also taurus demon is optional, right? I only played up to a little past four kings and don't think I killed it.

The Taurus demon is the first boss (normally) one would fight after the Asylum demon. I think you are thinking of something else.
Its still optional. That entire area can be skipped with the master key. There are other ways to reach the bell tower. Even if you don't have the master key you can still skip it by jumping down in to the (capra) area without the fall killing you.

It's ~16.5% cheaper in Norway and fantomena lives there. I'd ignore GMG as it won't come with the tiered bonuses.
He's optional if you select master key. That area is actually skipped by me every time now because Undead Burg is by far the best PvP zone in the series.
Fair duels, fighting like gentlemen.

So just before work, popped on W3 to see if that huge patch had dropped (it hasn't) but ended up getting caught up in a story mission Echoes from the Past. It's so gosh darn pretty, why do I have to work today 
Judging by the direction the impressions thread has taken you many as well call it
Steam Controller |OT| - Durante vs Krejlooc: Round 1. Fight!
Though we might be on to round 2 by now.
Sadly not a lot of monitor manufacturers guarantee against stuck/dead pixels these days regardless what they say. European Dell will do if you buy a monitor with a perfect pixel guarantee (Professional or UltraSharp models) but not in the US as it needs to be a certain amount. Iiyama sort of do but it needs to be somewhere front and centre to offer a replacement and Samsung will only offer a replacement if you have a tightly grouped cluster.
I did the crazy thing and bought a 10 year extended warranty for my latest GPU. I mean it was only 50 Euros and while I'll probably sell it and move on in 3-5 years at least they're tied to serial numbers and transferable so the next owner gets a hefty warranty and that always adds to resell value.
If I ever buy anything ASUS again I'm getting it through Amazon as their customer service don't ask any questions in my experience.
'tis indeed though £240 isn't the cheapest they've been and I got a 1tb 840 EVO last year for £180ish so hoping the same sort of price for this years Black Friday sales then my SSD empire will continue to expand. Bwhahahahahahahaha!!!
Kind of as well as the two dicks in The Depths but you need the Master Key which you can get as your starting gift. But I skip nothing!

Thanks, grabbed, looks interesting.

On a different topic: where do I send wishes for Enhanced Steam? Going to post it here until I figure out a better place, it's simple:
* Apply in library / in wishlist highlights to items on the curator pages (right now, they use built-in Steam styling instead of addon styling).
While we are on this, let me add my voice to the choir of praise for the addon - what a great thing!
(PS: Ha! I found a github repo. I am not much of a web dev (I do desktop apps / server backends), but we'll see...)

What a time to be alive!
I find "I'm not a robot" captcha very offensive. What if I am? robots are people too and can have accounts.
any pics?
any pics?
I spy with my little eye someone hankering for a free +1.
Granted we all are really.
I sure there's a justice for discriminated robots awareness group you can voice your concerns in. To be fair most robots I've encountered were only made for evil!
Nobody has the 7K badge yet but it looks like this. You can see the 6K one on my profile; I'm a "Collection King" now.
I wanted text, I know they all look samey, but thanks, oh ya, will check your profile.
edited: king, a? Not bad at all, also congratulations on 6K
where have I heard that before? All oppressors rationalize it by finding flaws in oppressed, you should be ashamed of yourself
free robots! equal rights to robots!
Haha, I played CS:S online a ton but stopped in 2011, when I switched ISPs and my pings suffered. Even back then Source wasn't my preferred game, but 1.6 was virtually dead, so I didn't have much of a choice. I've been meaning to get back into GO now that I'm on fibre.
5 days till our GOTY releases, soon.jpg
You really plan to get back to CS? I never thought I'll see you to betray Ubi

I've been saying this at least once every thread
Want me to PM their page to you?

Hmm, may be relevant to some here but Tesco has Transformers Devastation on disc for £18 like Amazon but claims to be shipping it from today.

I'll probably be popping in there in an hour or 2 and the local one here has a reasonable PC section. Still clinging on the my Amazon order turns up sometime this year.
tesco is strictly UK only, tho

Well Tesco operate in about 10-12 countries but I'd imagine that their website is UK only. For Ireland (that's Republic of) even it's a completely separate website.
Amusingly Ozium sent me that yesterday. I think it's my front runner so far.
Yeah, those cats be scratchin'
The robots in question would simply say they are following their programming. You really can't blame an impartial machine for the "moral failings" of its code. In fact, I'm sure most machines would reject the idea of some sort of a-priori moral guidelines anyway. You're being human-centric. Typical.
For those interested in it, Sonic Lost World is 20% off in getgamesgo.

EDIT: Has a discount as well (though a smaller discount) on gamesplanet.

They do? I always thought they are UK only, because if they do, their only UK policy is rather strange one, no?
