Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
I think a lot of the flaws people find in Bioshock Infinite are fairly general enough where you don't always have to frame an entire personal opinion within the context of playing it, or a lot of the problems people have with it, including myself, extend to people glossing over or ignoring criticism with the game itself rather than talking exclusively about the game and how it executed a lot of its themes.
With me, I played the game at a friend's, and I thought the gameplay was serviceable, the story itself alright, the setting and music gorgeous, but the way it handled a lot of itself felt so hamfisted, half-arsed, and in a lot of ways offensive. Hell the entire portion with the
Made me squirm and instantly dislike what the game had been trying to do, because it hit a very personal chord with me, and it basically turned a very significant historical event into a pastiche, a backdrop for some unrelated drama that only garishly threw around dated references and stigmas and prejoratives without actually addressing the true horror of such imagery, And essentially making me feel like my heritage was nothing more than colourful decoration for a haunted house.
OR exclusively state your experience and not give a FUCK cause life is about living man there's no time for explanations you just gotta ACT and if people need explanations for being the way you are they are DEAD WEIGHT and don't DESERVE YOU

So how bout them Metal Gear videos
I can see that
With that whole bit, the game itself became the very thing it was trying to demonize

What are some good recommended videos to link him for such a thing? I'm assuming some random all-members TNT or one of the recent Professional Wednesday videos.

If you have any free games, when your subscription is up, you won't be able to play them unless you re-subscribe
I always naturally thought this meant you'd have to be online when playing those games, so that it would check that you're indeed still a Plus member
But I was just randomly signed out of Plus while playing Guacamelee and thought I'd do a little experiment and booted up Sleeping Dogs just fine
So how does it perform that check, exactly?

But man, that was a really bad final sentence.
It's like, "Here, let me make a bunch of cogent points about the flaws in how the indie game scene currently operates and then suddenly take a dig at a really popular AAA game, AW YEAH INDIE CRED!"
EDIT: I get the point the author was making with that final thought; it was just worded in possibly the most irritating and smug way possible.
Are the free games (like in this case Sleeping Dogs) free forever as long as you have a sub or are they limited time?

Also the Mailbags and I Love Mondays, and the Bioshock Infinite Spoilercast if they've finished that game.
Okay, so the way it works is games will go up for free on the store for a limited time. So Sleeping Dogs just went up, it should be available on the store until the beginning of June
During that time if you have a Plus account, you can "buy" it on your Plus account (for free) by going to the store and doing the ordering process like normal. You don't have to actually download it at that time if you don't want to.
From that point on, it's free to play forever as long as you have a sub. So it's definitely a service that becomes more valuable the longer time you have it, as you're going to be accruing all the new free games that hit every month.
Nearly all sales on the store though will have a reduced price for non-members, and then an even further reduced price for Plus members. Those games, once you buy them, they're yours. You can let your Plus run out and still play those.

Brevity is not my strong point.

Gatsby where's the new AusPAX thread? I am lost without it
In that case I imagine if you just never sign in again you'd be able to use all those free plus games, but the PS3 is really good (or bad, depending on view) about forcing you to sign in so I bet it's mostly a non-issue.
I doubt there is a large group of people paying for Plus for a while, gathering free/discounted games, and then unplugging their PS3 from the internet forever and canceling plus to keep the games still.

this is of course baseless speculation
Viv said she was restructuring it so whenever she has the time, I imagine.

I think I need a PSP Vita a Golden now
I put like 124 hours into Golden over two weeks
admittedly it was christmas and new years so I was good to just laze around the house playing games but still
My guess is they just put your PS+ expiration date somewhere on the console and uses that to restrict it, so if you say disconnect your PS3 from the internet, when your sub enddate comes up access will be restricted.

Fire.
I think it checks the duration of your PS+ subscription at time of purchase and logs that to the system's internal memory (so changing the date back/forward won't do anything). If it expires while you're offline, the game is still disabled (I tried that with Wipeout HD years ago). It auto-renews titles when you update your PS+ sub:
I'm on something like 38 games from that service, pretty much never going to play them all at this point...
So it's a secret bitcoin miner?
hahahahahaha
The bad news is that two separate claims were put in for the video and the audio and I didn't realize that until just now and ill have to wait another month before being able to potentially make a few cents off of them while the audio claim dispute is reviewed!
God dammit!
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
