wait Halo 3 is on PC?

They also had Sins of a Solar Empire in the guy's collection, even though it'll never appear on anything other than Impulse.

Poorly researched mock-up is poorly researched mock-up.

but look at the prospect of BUYING a SHIP for friend playing a SOSE multiplayer match, DOESN'T THAT SUPER EXCITE YOU!?

the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Best line from that shitfest-

"Buying things enhances my gaming and entertainment experience."

Jesus. You have to wonder who exactly this is aimed at. The hardcore aren't going to be using those horrible avatars in Hearts of Iron or Counterstrike. Equally, the casual player isn't going to be launching Farmville or Bejewelled through a GfWL client when they can just open up Facebook.

I play games on both PC and consoles and enjoy them both- they're different but both have strengths that the other platform doesn't. I really wish Microsoft would fuck off trying to homogenise the two into some bland mush that only serves publishers and destroys what makes console and PC gaming unique.

I don't see a problem...

If they want to try to cater to the wide range of tastes from Farmville to BF2 and the people who play them in between then props to them. If they go with it and it works it enrichens the game industry and if it doesn't then we haven't lost anything.

Theres nothing here to have a bitch about personally, unless you're like my old mate that I call the mad bitcher.

Tease.
