It's amazing that the game design seems almost purposeful for this challenge. The way coins are laid out seems intentional to be in the way to provide challenge but not impossible to avoid. The way the ribbon is right at the bottom every time the clock hits 1 is also perfect.

I do wonder if he would have gotten fewer points if he had jumped the ribbon rather than hitting it, or does that violate his "collect no coins" rule?

The original Assassin's Creed doesn't use the wretched Ubisoft DRM. They hadn't communed with Satan yet to create it. I think they are just using "Assassin's Creed" to indicate the series and the games that use the DRM in question. I'll be interested to see what actually happens as Steam seems to be indicating that only Revelations still uses it.
I've been playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood after getting it in the Steam Winter Sale... so yeah, I won't be able to continue doing that as planned apparently.
I guess I won't be playing Mass Effect 3 until they let me play it on the service I like and trust. I have Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 on Steam and I will wait until the trilogy can all be in one place. My desire to have my pc games on Steam over other services is not irrational or ethereal. Steam as a platform provides value. I also happily use Good Old Games because they also provide value with extras that appeal to game collectors.

I did install Origin along with my The Sims 3 stuff, and it's barely even a thing. If EA was really worried about making sure they can give players the best experience they would make Origin something of value rather than holding games hostage. Origin is barely beyond what Steam was in 2004.

Yet PETA was silent when Mario tore the exoskeleton off a bee. PETA is speciesist.
It's not an insult. It's just a little known fact that The Count, when confronted with extremely large numbers, panics and forgets how to count higher than 3.
What are they going to do for Poison Ivy now? She already was just wearing a crotch pasty.
"Fine, I don't really care what you catagorize it as. Paul isn't an anarchist, and therefore Owen made an mistake and just can't admit it. "

If Owen is making a joke through exaggeration, then pointing to the most extreme version of libertarianism in his joke seems quite correct and appropriate. He did the libertarian equivalent of calling a liberal a "tree hugging hippy."
World War Z is a documentary about the war with zombies after the war has ended. It is not unfilmable or even requiring leaps of ingenuity to convert to a visual medium. It needs talking heads. It needs fake recreations and fake new footage. It does not need a plot. It does not need a leading man.
Yes it totally for real is. Libertarianism is a very wide umbrella describing a lot of political philosophies that to varying degrees eschew government in favor of personal liberty. Anarchism is one of them. Anarchism doesn't mean chaos. It very basically means no government. It's the natural, furthest position one can reach when limiting government. Limiting it to nothing. Not all libertarians are anarchists, but anarchists are libertarians.
Anarchism is a form of Libertarianism.
Give it to me straight into my veins!
"Confirm the possibility" is up there as one of the weirdest turns of phrase I've encountered.
If this is really about EA not wanting Steam to distribute DLC and Valve requiring DLC be available along side games they offer, then it doesn't sound like Valve is the one limiting how developers interact with customers. Only having EA dlc available through one retailer is what is limiting, at least from my side of the "developer/customer" equation... the side that matters. I'm paying the money, don't make me jump through stupid hoops for it.

I still haven't bought any of the awesome Mass Effect 2 dlc because of the stupid points purchasing system that has.
Maybe Bioware is making their next ground breaking advancement a protagonist character who isn't attractive looking and is completely unlikable. Nobody's ever done that before... on purpose.

A faux hawk? A faux hawk, really? A faux hawk? A faux hawk, Bioware? You're going with a faux hawk? A faux hawk?

He better have one awesome personality.
The FCC is already out of the way of having control over internet providers. Internet Providers are already not being regulated. Things are already being left to the free market to work out. This is what happened.
It occurs to me that I should point out, I ask this because this work looks better than the other project that is already doing Vice City.
