Retired. Formerly IGN’s Director of Reviews, EIC of GameSpy, and Reviews Editor at PC Gamer. Dad (so expect dad jokes). Careful: you might hear some opinions.
I dunno, I think the breed of PC gamer who will pass up a bunch of freebies because of a clunky client or a stance against exclusives is pretty much contained within the r/pcmasterrace subreddit. I think it’s more a matter of EGS not being *better,* so there was no need to split your library.

Apparently you can make your own by dropping vanilla beans in high-proof vodka for ~6-12 months. I was gifted some for Christmas that a family member made.

Of course I'm sure vanilla bean prices are also not awesome.

No, you don't. You remember a preview published by GamesBeat, an entirely different and completely unrelated outlet.

This is the IGN review video.

This but Martinelli’s bottles.

Also 7 and 10, got them down slightly earlier (but not much). They were given specific instructions to sleep in so maybe they’ll go until 8 or so.

Good luck!

Miserable. It’s a whole hell of a lot to pay for them not doing anything at all.

I’m only a couple of months into the private insurance thing but there’s nothing to like about it so far.

That’s fraud. Which… yeah, most likely.
December 31, 2025 at 5:58 AM
Bribery, more likely.

Yeah it’s pretty dire. This whole system feels like it’s right about at the breaking point.

I hope this is a generic “This system sucks” post and not about anything you or your family are specifically dealing with.

I very much hope so. I am not an RE guy but I'd like those fans to get the same treatment Fallout fans have gotten here.

I said "radically."

They did shit like that between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, much less 3, NV, and 4.

Yes there are.

Why has Netflix not figured this shit out yet.
