Yep. Did you check the expansion pass tab on your GOG library? Should be two codes at the bottom. But, I did already own both games on GOG.com...

Just Steam pre-ordered Bats because Harley Quinn. I don't give a fuck.

Will I complete Mass Effect 1 in time to justify this pre-order purchase? Oh fuck no! That week is a bitch in terms of my work to boot. What am I doing with my life?

Speaking of Mass Effect 1. Is it true that if you are Adept, and you use the rifle enough, it will become a bonus power?

Blah! Painkiller's tedious levels are now out numbering the cool ones. And these so called plot advancing cut scenes are the worst. May just stop playing, dudes. Just not fun and I have nothing to prove as I have yet to die.

I really should just be dedicating my time to ME1.

Stupid Xbox question since I don't play on consoles.

Are the games bought through the webstore on 360 compatible on Xbox One and will they transfer over with your Xbox Live account?

No, sir.

Not only no to that, but physical copies of 360 games (or PS3) are not backwards compatible, either.

Some of that looks like they blended the best parts of Bloodborne with the best parts of the first Dark Souls, which would basically be the greatest thing in the history of ever. But let's see them pull of the lighting this time, first.

played Splatoon at a friend's on Friday... what a dumb game. run around and spray shit, sometimes each other, using ridiculous gyroscope-based controls. I feel bad for Nintendo fans trying to convince themselves this is a killer app and not something that should have been a $15 downloadable game.

then I came home and listened to the new Beastcast and forgot about that silliness. having Vinny back in my podcast rotation is making me way too happy.

if there's anybody in the world who'd be fucking unobservant enough to actually damage themselves with trap-soap I guess it'd be the guy with dialup in 2007

Are you playing the new version? Console? Or are you reminiscing about the initial PC version? I've heard it's night & day.

Early next year already? Does not bode well.

But yeah, if those screenshots are any indication, this game's going to be the one to rule them all.

I had pre-ordered the new Bats with Gamestop credit awhile ago, but I want the Steam version, and they only had DVD-Rom. So, I cancelled it and decided to put the credit towards the PS4 Elder Scrolls Online since I haven't made a jerky new game buying decision in a long while. It's right here at my job now. I hate multiplayer, I find the grinding requirements of a MMO unforgivable, and I don't want to get wrapped up in a long ass game right now when I've scheduled myself to play some other long ass games. This ought to all go swimmingly.

I've been getting through Mass Effect 1 at a steady pace. I've learned to dig the mouse/keyboard despite my continued chaotic magic spamming. My pistol is so powerful now, that it hasn't been an issue. Plus, whenever I do pull off magic right it's pretty cool. I tend to always team with Liara, so bodies are just floating and flying around the place. I'm seriously pondering just playing ME 2 & 3 with the keyboard/mouse, although with the addition of reloading and vaulting, a controller might be wise after all.
