Phew, $150 for that collectors edition. Not as bad as the CE for the Homeworld remake that came with a model mothership- that bad boy went for $300.

It may not be interracial, but it is black and white.
Steam has the Witcher series on sale until March 9th. The Witcher is $1.99, The Witcher 2 is $3.99 and if you have both of them you get an additional 10% (20% total) off The Witcher 3 preorder. Just make sure to buy them individually as the bundle ends up being much more expensive.

Good games if you haven't tried em, controller recommended.

From the MGSV thread

Terminally Bored posted:

Stuff from todays Kojima Station copied from here: https://twitter.com/JunkerHQNet

- They're not at the full-scale balance adjustment/difficulty adjustment phase yet (though they still do a little of this where they are now).

- They're still "putting the game together". This involves putting together the various components of the game that have been developed, while ensuring the game still offers a high level of freedom for the player.

- Because there's so much you can do in the game, they need to make sure that if a certain item/vehicle/method etc. is used in a certain situation, it won't cause a problem. And if something does cause a problem, to try to fix it while maintaining that high level of freedom, instead of reducing it.

- Snake has two emblems on his fatigues in the game. The left one is always the Diamond Dogs emblem, the right one is the player's custom one. The default emblem is the "DD" one in the picture, which was intentionally made ugly in order to make the player want to customize it.

- There are different emblem parts, like graphical layers and words, that you acquire by completing missions and locating them in the game. The "Venom Snake" pre-order bonus is one such part. You can adjust the colors and placement of these parts. The purpose of the emblems is for players to distinguish themselves. So if you see a video online perhaps you know who it is from the emblem.

- The emblem is featured elsewhere as well, like on the exterior walls of Mother Base, your flags, containers (though you can leave it as the Diamond Dogs emblem). It also goes on vehicles like helicopters, jeeps, and armored vehicles that belong to you.

- You'll see another player's emblem on their right shoulder when you play online, but it's not said if MGO has a separate emblem.

- In addition to Mother Base's color, you can also change the color of your vehicles and other things.

- Shinkawa described the game as having the same attention to detail as past Metal Gear games, but now in much larger environments.

- Kojima hinted at the weapons system in the game being deep and detailed. This is thanks to Shinkawa wanting to put the work into it (and apparently it was a LOT of work). Kojima personally wasn't interested in making it as deep as it is, but when he saw the end result, he was blown away. So you can thank Shinkawa for all the weapons options in the game.

- The ballistic shield is carried on your back when not in use, and will deflect bullets this way as well. You can use guns in combination with it. Kojima jokes Shinkawa is a little nuts, given all the stuff he's done with the weapons.

- They started talking about MGS1 because MGSV's release date is almost the 17th anniversary of the Japanese date (September 3rd, 1998). When Kojima was making MGS1, he wanted it to be less of a linear experience and more open, with more freedom. You would choose where to infiltrate, your means of transport for getting there, the time of day during which you would approach, etc., but the level of technology back then made that impossible. Now, 17 years later, he can make that kind of Metal Gear.

- Certain things have changed with this MGS and yet others haven't. The systems have evolved greatly, and Kojima thinks it's the best playing game in the franchise. Every entry in the franchise has evolved, but this is the biggest step forward. So while the gameplay systems have changed, the game still feels like Metal Gear. (When you think about it, each Metal Gear has been a gradual evolution to this original vision he had.)
