I feel kind of guilty for Lords of Shadow because I've been saying since 2005 that Castlevania needs a God of War style remake and now it's actually happening.

I'm so sorry guys. Though have you seen those videos of environmental exploration? That kind of thing is exactly what I meant.

I've only read Eon by Greg Bear, a story about Ralph Nader followers in the future. It was pretty good, actually.

FF7 may have had something to do with it but I think they were just generally more experimental back then. After all, they released a side scrolling shooter in the same year as FF7.

I'm kind of pissed that Bulletstorm isn't getting a PC demo. If I want to play it now I'm going to have to unplug the internet from my computer and plug it into my Xbox. Then sit and twiddle my thumbs while it downloads (if I have space on my harddrive). It's just very inconvenient. Plus I'll have no idea how well it runs on my computer until after it comes out and is piratable, and by that point why pay for it if I'm going to download it to see how it runs.

I only pay full price for new games that I absolutely must have asap (and there's like one of those kinds of games a year, if that) so I guess I could just wait a year or so until it's on sale on Steam or something.

Meeting the system requirements and knowing how your computer is going to react to it are not quite the same thing.

I guess it's a moot point anyway since I don't usually care enough about more recently released games to go to the trouble pirating and cracking them and all that noise. Bulletstorm looks like fun but it's not exactly burning up my loins enough that I'd actually go to the trouble to pirate it.

Yeah it's there, and it's only partially adequate. Still, moot point as my edit makes clear.

Sure, lacking PC sales are always blamed on piracy. Yet things like the numbers from a given Steam sale would indicate that people are more than willing to actually buy a PC game if the price is something more realistic.

I dunno I think it looks pretty cool? It'll be a while yet before anyone does anything worthwhile with it but just knowing that within a few years stuff that looks like that could be running in real time is kind of exciting to think about.

Also looking at these images makes me want someone to do a really nice looking, hyper-detailed Blade Runner-esque game environment with lots of rainy smog choked streets filled with people in plastic overcoats standing in kiosks for me to walk around and bump into and shit.

Also you can read the site without the stars by simply not allowing it in NoScript or something similar like that, but if you do then it's a totally white background.

There is no single Anonymous. I doubt there is that much overlap between the Anon targeting banks and the Anon targeting Sony. Or there might be actually quite a bit, who knows.
