I only had cable for a short time when G4 TV was on but the era with Olivia Munn was great.

I feel like there are so many opportunities for indy studios out there to put themselves out there that wasn't available before. They probably couldn't even afford to get a seat anyway.

It makes sense, they can show their stuff and people will absolutely watch it. They need to spend a little on marketing to let people know about it but as long as they make it relatively the same time every year it's worth it.

My roommate and I were on G4TV non-stop for the whole week, it was amazing.

But she is welcome, she is very welcome. Outside of the two big cities in NE she pretty much gets all the votes.

Don't have my state.... don't have my state.... don't have my state

looks.....

Fucking Deb Fischer....

Also when you site the source that doesn’t mean you can just use the source word for word.

Probably more stressful than anything, just clicking refresh on ebay hoping that the value of that first edition Zune you have skyrockets.

Ah yes! You never know! Terrorists may want to get a hold of some bombs and would pay top dollar for them and I heard the Note 7 was pretty useful for that.

Not really, this is 100x more, the stock didn’t jump 100x

I wish I had the money to just buy random items and store them in the hopes they would vastly increase in value.

Right, because the acquisition for Microsoft buying activision blizzard hasn’t gone through yet. Look at the conversation chain, I said it will come when if the acquisition goes through it will…

What are you talking about?

I did a search for fallout and all the fallout games are there. I did a search for elder scrolls and they were all there too. At least all the ones made in the last 20 years.

Also all 3 dishonored games.

What Bethesda games are you not seeing?

They said all games they own would be on day 1. They already announced they would with upcoming Bethesda games, so why not?

If the merge can go through enough time before launch, then sure.

I’m gonna wait till it’s on gamepass through Microsoft.

Considering the vast amount of sales of Diablo 3 and has a decent player base a decade later and the millions upon millions of dollars Diablo immortal I am genuinely curious what your criteria is for a “flop”.

I’m gonna guess is you don’t personally like it you consider it a flop.

Their list of supported processors start at 8th gen Intel.

It’s gotta be.

The Apple OS is their justification to charge $3000 for a computer. If someone can just buy an HP and throw Mac OS on it that is going to hurt their computer sales.

Also Apple will be slowly dropping support for Intel. They have moved their entire line over at this point so in another 4 years or so they will announce no support for Intel on their OS. They will market it as a good thing like they did when they dropped G4 and G5 support in OS 10.6.

It’s frustrating because my motherboard supports TPM 2.0 and I have it enabled but they still won’t support it. I have a 6600k.

That’s what they are saying, Microsoft doesn’t intend to make a version of windows that will boot natively on Apple silicon.

I thought E3 was cancelled?

Good for them! It was outrageous what E3 was charging to rent the spaces when they can just have their own event for far cheaper.

Exactly, if I sent it to be destroyed I would want just that.

Your bioshock example is valid. If you bought it and then they added a launcher. Sometimes that’s cool, like GTA 4 used this “games for windows” platform as it’s DRM through steam, or whatever it’s called. It straight up wouldn’t even launch on anything windows 8 or later, but I was reading that now it goes through the rockstar launcher. So that I’m cool with.

I wouldn’t say it’s not great for the consumer. Isn’t valve guilty of it too? I don’t see myself able to play Valve games like half-life on GoG or EA or anywhere else? Why does everyone else get shit for gatekeeping their own games but valve gets a pass?

Also I don’t think the fracturing of the market is stupid or a trend. I find it hilarious how Reddit, and especially this sub, is so anti-monopoly but they insist that all games should go through one platform. What happens if Gabe retires and the new person is an asshole and thinks you should pay $10 a month to use steam because of all the services they offer and you get locked out of your cloud saves and mods and everything as that’s now a “premium service”? Check the thing you signed, you don’t own your games but only the right to use them and that can be revoked for any reason. Having all your eggs in one basket, so to speak.

I wouldn’t be worried about them getting any valuable info on you. Unless their installer is scanning your computer for bank statements and logins or can turn on your webcam what worthless info they get about your game playing habits would just go into the overall stats.
