@AnxiousInfusion: The thing is, console exclusives are legal and piracy is not, so you might want to take another gander at the GOL rules before posting rants like that. Liam has made it clear that discussions on the ethics or any other aspect of piracy are not welcome.

Weird that it's cheaper to buy these separately than it is to buy the SR IV GotC edition on it's own. I hadn't noticed. Thanks.

Good luck! You'll do fine if you just do what you're told and keep your head down. In other words: Leave your brain at home, you'll do better without it.

Quoting: STiATCan't say about Talos, but I enjoyed Mordor [a lot], even though, it was not really challanging and the end fight was not what I'd epect of an end boss fight.

That's okay. I'm not looking for challenge. I play most of these games at the easiest available difficulty. Life's challenging enough. :)

Lot's of games on my wishlist at good prices. I can only afford a couple of them though, so it's going to be a tough choice. I'm leaning towards Mordor and Talos though. SR IV is also high on the list. I've already seen most of Tomb Raider at a friend's, but the deal is pretty good.

People don't seem to realize that the open PC platform was a fluke of history that would never, ever happen again. There is not a single type of hardware other than PCs that generally allows people to change the OS or install custom software not approved by the vendor.

Yup.

I've heard this before, but I don't believe it's even remotely true. It's just a thing certain experts (and "experts" aka media) like to say, without much basis in reality.

Quoting: badberIn any case their existing performance problems seem like they are much more likely to be solved by using more of the general purpose cores than they would be with a GPU. The developer comments on that thread sounded like they aren't really interested in doing much about it though.

Threading is tricky. Interest is all fine and dandy, but time and money are needed as well.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTPS: I wouldn't buy the game nowaydays. On the one hand it's EA (they are rich as ******) on the other hand the licences might be expired anyways. Just get it from the web. Psssst... I didn't say that. ;)

The copyright definitely hasn't expired, so getting it from the web would be plain old piracy. Good thing you "didn't say that", eh? Before anyone says "abandonware", I think that's a discussion for another venue.

GOG might be interested in adding the game to their catalogue though, seeing as they've got other classics of the genre like the Screamer games as well.

Quoting: operaSteamOS is missing in the Linux Distributions graph.

No, graphs are limited to 10. All others simply don't have enough users to register on it.

I will look into a "view all" link so people can get a full list if they desire.

How about a single, eleventh "others" entry instead with everything under the threshold added up? You could list the individual distros in this entry's tooltip (using the <title> SVG element) if the graphs allow it.

I think it should be "resolution of primary screen". Or even better the resolution you usually play games in. The resolution of all your monitors combined or a list of multiple resolutions isn't very useful. Most games don't even support multi-monitor stuff, and those that do already have to take this into account. And I'm assuming here that the purpose of these stats isn't bragging rights but the collection of useful information about the systems we use for gaming? So ultra-wide 21:9 resolutions are okay, but anything spanning multiple monitors is irrelevant.
