• Despite Kickstarter shortfall, Defense Grid 2 development now under way

• Duallusion 26/04/2013

  Oh Defense Grid, how I love thee. Best news of the week for me and there were quite a few.
  
  I hope they bring it to consoles again. Reply +2

• Saturday Soapbox: Christopher Nolan has ruined video games

• Duallusion 16/03/2013

  A big fat "+1" to the fine gentleman who said Batman Begins is the best one in the trilogy. It is, especially in the general story structure and character arcs department. It's the purest of the three, for lack of a better word.
  
  EDIT: And to all the people generally underrating Nolan; Memento and Prestige chuckle at your silly opinion. Reply +4

• Dead Space 3: Awakened DLC out next week

• Duallusion 07/03/2013

  Got the game yesterday, lowered my expectations and... It's not bad, not bad at all. New game + feature alone makes DS one of my favorite franchises this gen.
  
  I also feel this microtransaction thing was blown a bit out of proportions. Kind of like ME3 ending. :P Reply +2

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - Revolution review

• Duallusion 30/01/2013

  A whole lot of words for a DLC pack. It's nice and all but I wish poor little WRC 3 got the same treatment or a whole bunch of small(ish) games that don't get a review here at all.

  Absolutely disgusting profits. And the schumcks keep giving them more and more.
  
  Yes. Schumcks. Neg away. Reply -3

• Borderlands 2: Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt review

• Duallusion 15/01/2013

  BL2 was my goty and I've bought all DLC day one but I'll sit this one out until they raise the cap, I'm afraid. I wasn't overly impressed with last DLC either, even though it was better then 90% of other games' DLC. Still; good job, Gearbox. Reply +1

• Mutant Mudds dev concerned by potential Nintendo 3DS piracy

• Duallusion 03/01/2013

  It's idiotic to take torrent figures like that though, the movie and music industry do it and they come up with frankly stupid amounts of money "lost" they'd never get in reality.

  They wouldn't get all of it but they would get some of it. Or do you actually believe all these people would suddenly stop watching movies, playing games and listening to music, if piracy wouldn't be possible anymore? Reply +1

  Good review. It name-dropped Primer! Reply 0

• Are the rich old men ruining Kickstarter?

• Duallusion 15/12/2012

  Also; it'd be far easier to swallow if all these high-profile developers would specify how much money *they* will invest. They should be the first "backers" of their proposed project. Reply +3

• Duallusion 15/12/2012

  If kickstarter was an investment scheme and I'd also get a procentage of possible profits (based on amount of my investment and number of investors, say), then I *might* be interested in backing something. As it i now, I'm happy to let other people fund games I may be interested in buying *if* they end up being good. Reply +2

• Newell: living room-friendly PC Steam packages to compete with next-gen consoles

• Duallusion 10/12/2012

  Unless I'm perfectly satisfied with 720/PS4 specs (most likely), this kind of thing just might make me come back to PC gaming again. This and plug-and-play-no-question-asked gamepad support in most PC games. Reply +2

• Discovering the Wii U's third space

• Duallusion 04/12/2012

  All that slow ram/slow CPU/this-gen/whatever crap showeled around on gaming sites just faded away when I actually sat down and played it. I have a whole list of things I'm not too fond of (drive doesn't spin down, patches, slow UI, battery life, etc. etc.) but I'm having fun with it and in the end that's all I ask from a gaming console. I just hope developers will explore all of its vast potential; at least on e-shop. Reply +7

• Borderlands 2: Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty review

• Duallusion 17/10/2012

  Heh, first playthrough... This has hit such a sweet spot for me I'm not too far away from maxing three characters, which I never do in any other similar game.
  
  But then again, I don't have a life. :) Reply +2

• WRC 3 review

  I've played the demo more then any other demo in a long time, so it must be doing something right, imo. Made me wish I had money so I could buy it. Reply +7

• Ubisoft has endured a 93-95% piracy rate on PC

• Duallusion 22/08/2012

  Releasing multiplatform games way after the console games launch, using shoddy DRM practices and all this Uplay shit just shows its Ubisoft that's the problem in this case. Treat your pc gamers with respect and THEN we'll show you respect.

  Is this a good reason to pirate their games? Or is this a reason not to buy and, therefore (shock and horror!), not to play their games? Reply -2

• Nintendo 3DS XL Review

• Duallusion 06/07/2012

  Unless the Wii U is infinitely more awesome than it seems and the 3DS XL starts selling a tonne, we could end up seeing Mario on the Playstation before you know it.

  Haha.

• Duallusion 29/06/2012

  Ugh, "pretentious" - fucking hate this stupid, meaningless word and every so-called argument with it. Is someone truly pretentious, or is the other someone accusing him of that just a simpleton? Always hard to tell.
  
  Edit: Not to mention that every single human being is "pretentious" one way or another. It's our defining characteristic. Reply +20
