| That guy who does reasonably good game reviews in the NYT said Ghosts was almost endearingly campy |

My little brother who's gotten every CoD and Madden game at launch since 2009 has not even mentioned Ghosts, which strongly suggests to me that the franchise is waning in popularity among its key demographic

I went to best buy just now
There were probably sixty people in the checkout line all holding plastic bags
I can't believe I forgot the problem with getting things for free |
Took me an hour and a half to get my free trade in. I lined up half an hour before opening and heard of some people waiting four hours.
Ghosts is pretty meh so far. |

| is there something I am missing about why that GIF of a tank turning a corner while dog is enjoying scenery has to be 24mb? Some detail I missed in watching it that could only be seen by not scaling it down a couple more times? |

Apparently this was revenue from wholesale, whereas they usually report revenue earned from sell through; Blops 2, for example, got a press release for only half a billion and they've already admitted that Ghosts is selling worse. So, draw your own conclusions.

If you believe vgchartz (note: don't), Ghosts has ~5-600k pre-orders between the Bone and Quad

oh, hey, this is pretty much exactly the Miasmata-inspired game I started brainstorming this weekend, only with killing black people instead of solving Myst-like puzzles.

But not all DRM-free, which bums me out considerably. They were already trending away from my preferred no-DRM absolutism, but I still had some hopes for the storefront. |

Maybe they are North Africans whose skin is dyed in the ashes of their loved ones like Kratos.

It's too bad we can't just have a nice ad about forest living and let the horror aspect be surprise once we start to play. Kind like how the movie sunshine kept its twist a secret. |

| The Unreal World is already a nice game about forest living. Someone just needs to give the creators a lot of money and then make a friendly version of it. |

I don't know, the subjects of Poser fetish porn emote better than most game characters
Speaking of fetish porn, I started playing Dragon's Crown again. I finally get how to play the Sorceress and having all that crowd control and mobility is pretty fun. I'm also enjoying the dumb buff to Amazon's parry skill (they patched it to give a stack of Berserk on a parry, so now you get 3 seconds of invulnerability and your perky walk and dumb damage from a parry).

Monolith (U.S.) and the lead designer/co-writer of Red Dead Redemption are working on a new game.
It's Lord of the Rings :/ |

It might not make a major impact, but I do wonder what my life would look like if I'd been able to avoid knowledge of Poser fetish porn these last 12 years.

Man, don't sell it short. It's not just LotR, it's also hilariously grimdark and videogamey:
| Some shameless person wrote: |
| In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, gamers take on the role of Talion, a valiant ranger whose family is slain in front of him the night Sauron and his army return to Mordor, moments before his own life is taken. Resurrected by a Spirit of vengeance and empowered with Wraith abilities, Talion ventures into Mordor and vows to destroy those who have wronged him. |
Wraith abilities! Level up! |

Truly a piece of fiction to honor Tolkien's work.
(kinda interested in the whole "everyone has an individual name" thing, but let's not assume it actually works as it should) |
I am thoroughly convinced that it is impossible to make a good Lord of the Rings game.

This is relevant to people in Toronto:
http://handeyesociety.com/wordplay/
"A free one-day festival celebrating the most interesting uses of writing and words in contemporary games.
What do writerly videogames look like? Come check out our showcase and play 20+ examples. Sometimes they’re mostly text on a screen, like Anna Anthropy’s twisted And the Robot Horse You Rode in On. Sometimes they’re gorgeously illustrated with prose inspired by magical realism and Flannery O’Connor, like Kentucky Route Zero. In Actual Sunlight, you battle depression as an RPG character. In Forumwarz, you can get into a war of words with virtual trolls on the web. In The Yawhg you decide what to do in the brief time before your town meets its doom. In Cart Life you have to remember when to pick up your kid from school after slinging coffee all day."
There are also some panels and you can also attend a workshop to make Twine games with Christine Love. |
