Well poo poo, Witcher 3 is on sale on Steam for $40. I guess I finally have to give in, don't I.

Edit: Or do I get Dragonball Xenoverse at 83% off for $8, because wow that's a huge discount this early.

Edit2: Now Dragonball is 50% off. Should have jumped on that earlier I guess! Makes my decision easier though, I suppose.

It still runs fine without being logged in and I don't care about GFWL, I've never even particularly hated it (except for when it was used with dark souls gently caress that noise, loving thing broke one of my saves) but the game itself runs for about 5 minutes before crashing, it's unplayable as is.

There's some fixes in this thread, at least if its the problems I was having. The game is still janky as all hell though - I heard installing a Tale of Two Wastelands and playing FO3 through that is marginally less crash-prone, but haven't tried it out yet.

My Space Rangers 2 game ended with me becoming Space Don and leading pirate rebellions against the civilized planets, accidentally dooming everyone to death by robot invasion. Last time I loaded it half the systems were under robot control, 15% were pirate, 25% everyone else, and the remainder kept flipflopping between the three of us. Game is good.

They sure were right about it being a game with a limited lifespan!

According to the website counter there are still 215,295,214 lives remaining. We'll probably all die before those run out.

It's nice that it's 2D and they have better art, but again, lovely mobile version and all the art and sprites are smeared with vaseline.

Maybe they'll figure it out next time.

Also the Humble Store has this for 33% off already, so lol at anyone who bought it at launch like two weeks ago.

In other Humble Store news, if you want a fun, campy top-down shooter then Shadowgrounds is all of $0.69.

They're going to run out of mobile games that aren't FFT and then they'll have to port WotL right?

Canada is basically a petro-state and the price of oil has been falling to punish Putin for his shenanigans in Ukraine.

It would probably be going down faster if the game wasn't apparently a half-baked pile of crap and people didn't have to spend $17 to play a half-baked piece of crap they eventually won't be able to play at all.

We put all our eggs in oil and then Saudi Arabia knocked it down.

Also the US dollar is gaining value really quickly, and since it's the center of global economic comparison that doesn't mean so much that the US gets richer so much as literally the rest of the entire planet gets poorer.

Given their usual speed (4 years to port the PSP version to iOS, 4 more years to port the iOS version to Android), it's due to PC sometime around 2019.

It's possible Kojima is going to pull the ultimate troll move on 9/11. Or it's just a fake-out.

Lots of hints (lots!) pointing to something happening tomorrow. There's a thread for it over at the MGS subreddit if you want to know more.

It's fake. It's some random fan ARG and literally nothing is going to come from it.

It's rather elaborate and Kojima seems to be playing along with it, if that's the case.

We'll know tomorrow either way.
