Dammit, there I was try to post a link to amazon's price cock-up on the pre-order for the new aliens game and they go and fix it. Not quite as good a deal but if you have an editor's choice coupon there's a Syndicate/Saboteur pack for $5. Looks like Saboteur will be a pig to get to work on my system.

Monsanto wasn't even on that list, iirc. Out of the ones on the list, how could anything but Bank of America win? You know, that whole 'giving out bunk mortgages' bit and forcing people into foreclosure? But I guess that's not as bad as Mass Effect 3 having a shitty ending and Sim City having bad DRM.

It's crap that the Wii/WiiU eshop is fragmented like that, but that's our Nintendo. Maybe one day we'll be able to use the Gamepad to play Wii games, but that day is not today.

Before we continue, I have the thing you need to take your Rust experience to the next level. When you load into a server, the first thing you should do is to bring up the console with F1, and enter:

censor.nudity false

This will make people without clothing equipped appear completely naked. There is probably someone for whom a limp-ass prong represents titillating material, but this is about as nonsexual as nudity gets. Without the “false” flag set, people show up with pants when they don’t actually have pants, which is untrue. It’s untrue mechanically and it’s untrue literally. Rust is an open world survival game with strong crafting elements, so in order for it to be stable conceptually it must honestly represent itself. There are many games of this type, but their choice to go as realistic as possible radically alters how you perceive and interact with the world. Believe it.

Nonsense. Why is it not logical? Who says you have to pidgeonhole yourself that way.
They're not a brand (as much as it looks that way), they're just dudes, as was Ebert. He liked what he liked and maybe he showed more consistency in his opinions, but that doesn't mean that he or anyone else can't appreciate a silly thing when they're wanking philosophically at some other time over something else. Or even the same thing. It just doesn't follow. My special fellow sense is tingling.
