Morning Discussion
by Chris Faylor, Oct 15, 2008 10:29pm PDTHello there, and welcome to Thursday. Yes, it's already Thursday. I can't believe it either. This week has been one giant blur.
You may have missed it yesterday, but we had some good stuff up in the after hours--chiefly, word on the Left 4 Dead demo, details on when the next Team Fortress 2 update should arrive, and a hands-on preview of Left 4 Dead plus new footage.
Oh, we also posted some new Dragon Age: Origin screenshots, featuring what may very well be the creepiest cleavage shot I've ever seen. Her eyes make me scared :(
FileShack: Unity of Command, Skyjacker
Daily Filter: Planetside 2, Deadlight

Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
As good as a couple of its action beats are, Max still suffers from the heartlessness that makes games emotionally inferior to movies. Nobody ever shed a tear over a video-game character's death.

Painting with a broad brush are we Roger?

I'm a bit torn; I have a feeling the game will have longer legs on the console what with the easy multiplayer, but then again, I still think making levels will have more of a home on the PC.
Further complicating things is that an upgrade to a 4850 (I don't think my 7900GS will do well with FC2) will also require a new motherboard for me, which puts me at ~300 bucks. I could almost buy another 360 for that :/

* The new interface stuff (pet/mount tab, currencies tab) are fucking awesome
* I want a Black War Bear and a Red Proto-Drake

Bahahah
So Canada held an election yesterday. The Prime Minister called it for unclear reasons, there were very few issues of importance debated during it, and the eventual results were virtually unchanged from the previous election, held less than three years ago. Harper is still Prime Minister, and he still only controls a plurality of the seats in the parliament. All the other parties have retained their rank status as well, except the Liberals went down a bit.
The election cost $300 million, though. I hope someone, somewhere felt it was worth it.

0% so far. I'm going to see it anyways, but damn. I just hope it does not turn people off from playing the games.

Best place?
Between Gogamer/Ebgames/Amazon.
Factors to consider: Price, shipping price, shipping speed for new games, etc.
The entire reason I'm starting to buy online is that going into an EB has descended into such an absolute misery that I can't stand it anymore, and I'm usually very pro business and don't mind the sales talk. But it just sucks now. So am I right about Amazon or can they not deliver on time for new games? I'm worried about Gogamer's ability to get new stuff here quickly, but their price is good. So. Post.
