Once someone makes viable and workable smart glasses I could watch porn and a live stripper at the same time.

RSS used to be the poo poo before everybody got greedy and crippled them because reading an article on your RSS feed instead of on their site meant they were missing out on that sweet sweet fraction of a cent from ad banner views.

It's been about 7 or 8 months since I've done it but I seem to recall doing okay using Feedly because it could cut out the crap on a given page. Maybe that was Flipboard.

Has anyone played TOR since the Revan stuff came out and if so, is it still bad? I saw a thread about it in MMO HMO but obviously they can't be trusted, I liked KOTOR so Revan stuff sounds pretty cool if the game isn't poo poo anymore.

MMOs are fundamentally bad. I'd argue that for as bad as MOBAs are, they are better than MMOs.

Conventional wisdom is that you need some kind of treadmill no matter what, just to keep people coming back. That's important whether you're f2p or monthly.

The NES even has a pretty modest library compared to monsters like the PSX and the 360. Wayyyyy back in the day I downloaded all 127 then-available NES roms (I owned all the cartridges so that made it legal, that's science) but there's tons of poo poo in there I never even touched past the title screen.

Playing through every "worthwhile" video game that exists to this day would take someone's entire lifespan. And they keep making more!!!!

Rayman Legends owns really hard, but am I right in assuming that it probably sold really poorly and will never see a sequel? These last two Rayman games are the best platformer/pure fun type games not made by Nintendo and it loving sucks that Ubisoft can't spread some of that creativity around the rest of their lovely games.

It didn't meet initial sales expectations, but it outsold Origins handily and was still selling well and contributing to Ubi's terrifying money vault as of last November. It's probably hit around a million units by now.

its great and there will be another game for sure because ubisoft.

also ubiart is apparently a wonder engine for making sidescrollers quickly so i can see them running this into the ground if production is cost effective.

Ubi have been using Ubiart for smaller, more experimental projects recently, like Valiant Hearts and Child of Light.

All that stuff about playing every game you own makes me think I should go down the ol' PS Plus list and post quick reviews, since I've claimed every game they've given away since they started the instant game collection thing and I've tried most of them at least once. There are a lot of good games in there but also a lot of really lovely indie art games from the slow months :barf:

Like 3/4s of my Steam library is shovelware from Humble Bundles that I keep buying because for some reason every other garbage indie game on the planet has Steam trading cards so they pay for themselves half the time.

I think the only indie art games I ever played were To the Moon and Gone Home, both of which were flawed and overpriced by worth the four hours that I probably put into both of them combined.
