    Gyokuyoutama got a reaction from Arm the Homeless in TIAM: General Gaming edition   
    Reminds me how in Alpha Protocol I did one run as a super sneaky spy who was never seen, but my death count was through the roof because of the number of people I shot in the head with a silenced pistol.
    Then I did a run where I just ran into every room with a shotgun.  This was almost a nonlethal run, since I would shoot people in their kneecaps and then beat them into unconsciousness when they stumbled to the ground.

    Paradox Interactive just went insane and increased prices for all of the games they publish by 50%-100% on several countries to match their "purchasing power".
     
    Most of the games they publish now cost more than regular triple A games for me and some other countries, even shitstain games from 5 years ago. And that without taking account the abusive amounts of DLC every game they publish have.
     
    Well, I feel bad for the developers whose games are hostage to Paradox now. Guess I'll be visiting the bay to be able to play Cities Skyline.

    They banned it four days after the normal round of bans.  I've understood "emergency ban" to mean any ban that occurs outside the normal review schedule.
    Of course, the timing shows that they really could have banned it on time if they had been thinking ahead, so maybe it doesn't count for that reason, but if anything that makes things worse.
    I kind of want to dig through the archives to find their articles from Mirrodin standard, both with the skullclamp ban and with the later "affinity is dead this time for sure" set of bans.  I'm guessing that there will be a lot of promises that explain how they check and double check things now so that this can never happen again.
    It's still amazing to me though that they let the combo get printed in the first place, given how obvious it was, and even more so that they didn't realize how combo-friendly an environment with poor instant speed removal and poor counterspells is.

    Team fortress is still wining 21 to 20 though, so it's okay.

    I was going to wait until the last second to join up (i.e. when SPUF had actually officially died) but it's almost impossible to post anything with those database errors.
