As much as you complain about Linux, I'm hoping there's some SERIOUS upside to it. Otherwise, I can't imagine it's even remotely worth all the trouble you go through and nothing working right.
In some ways, I'm kicking myself for not pre-ordering Assassin's Creed: Revelations from Gamestop, but for three things. 1. I wasn't going to pay the extra money for the signature edition or whatever anyway. 2. I hate the Gamestop machine, and while buying new does kick money to the developers, I'd still be supporting Gamestop. And 3. My pre-order bonus at Best Buy was that I got Assassin's Creed II and Brotherhood at half price.

The upsides depend on the distro. For example, the version I have now, Sabayon, is probably the best Linux distro that I've used. Gentoo based stuff is hard to figure out if your used to Debian, like I am, but it can be worth it. Sabayon has had the best track record with WiNE than others I have tried. It can run Left4Dead correctly the first time I try it (A little jumpy, but I don't plan on using multiplayer too much) and it can actually start the Build Your Own Dream client.
I am having problems at the moment that I'm not sure what they are. The only noticeable adverse effect I have with it is that I can't open Lugaru. My earlier complaint was probably me just having lag. While Flash for Linux is known to have problems, I've rarely seen them and I was just being complainy. Most of the problems I've had with Linux have been getting Windows games to work. I like Linux, but I probably shouldn't use it for a lot of gaming. If I want a FPS, I should just play Cube.
So yeah, most of the time if I go grrr at Linux, I'm probably trying to get something to work that isn't supposed to work on Linux. Just bitching about small stuff that doesn't even really matter computer wise.
Fun fact, when I was just starting out I managed to change permissions on the entire freakin' drive so that the computer couldn't even completely boot. Learned my lesson there.
Pokemon had content locked in two different versions of a game in 1996.
In 1996, Christmas Nights required you to play the game at different points in time according to the Saturn's internal clock.
In 1996, Shadows of the Empire had a huge multimedia event, and to get the full story you had to purchase simultaneously-released books and comics.
1996 gave us the first appearance of the Tamagotchi toys, which required the user to constantly tend to the device in order to unlock later stages of content.
As far as I know, Meridian 59 was the first game released to have monthly subscription fees.
All of the various versions of Street Fighter II were released before 1996.
This doesn't work as a checklist either, since there is not a single game that employs *all* of these tactics.
I don't believe in DLC. I believe that they're just funny looking bytes that the Devil sprinkled through cyberspace to make us believe that there's more to our games than there actually is.
More seriously, I've given up on 100% games. Frankly, at the moment, I'd settle for just completing the game

DLC has been a thing, even on consoles, since(depending on how you reckon it) either the Intellivision or Sega Channel. I would have included Sega Channel, but the list clearly states 1996, and Sega Channel was a 1998 release. As early as '98, versions of games with different, additional content were available through a proprietary service that you had to pay extra for to get run through your house. It was worse than DLC in a way, because you couldn't store it and when it was done broadcasting it was gone!

Just because it has a history doesn't mean I want to buy it. Actually, there's lots of things from 1998 that I'd rather not buy.

I'd just like to point out that Gamestop isn't charging anything extra for the Signature Edition, that's just what you get for pre-ordering. There's a more expensive thing you can buy, but that's just the Signature Edition plus an Ezio action figure and little model Leonardo's flying machine thing.
Also, NOT HAVING A COMPUTER FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS FUCKING SUCKS.

who will win this exciting battle TUNE IN NEXT TIME ON DRAGONBALL Z
The actual Goku/Vegeta fight had very little in terms of power-up sequences. Goku did his initial power-up, which pushed him over a power level of 8,000, but after that there is relatively little. Because Goku's only real recourse in terms of power-up abilities was the Kaio-ken, which literally tore his body apart as he was using it, the technique was used sparingly. Extensive power-up sequences didn't really factor into the equation until the Freeza arc at the earliest. If you are referring to their later fight in the Majin Boo arc, that lasts(at most) 2 episodes, which itself is an expansion of a fight that is almost disappointingly short in the original source.
So, I'm sort of confused as to how that's actually functionally better than the voice commands system that has been a part of Android for some time now.
Yes it is. Also, Apple isn't revolutionary or amazing. Those arses have stolen pretty much every useful feature that Android has had for a year and marked it up like the corporate fucks they are to make a slimy profit off of their brand whores.

Fair enough. So that's two reasons I'm not kicking myself for getting it at Best Buy instead. And really, of the five bonuses included in the signature edition, there's two that I'm not broken up about at all (Assassin's Creed isn't a series where I'd really care to have the soundtrack, and I don't have a paid Live account to use the multiplayer character), a couple I'll live without (since I'll probably get a capacity upgrade through Uplay anyway and I'm sure I'll get a chance to see Embers at some point), and one that I'm just a little disappointed in (the single player mission).

Eh...stupid smart phones. I won't get one until Samsung stops making Alias'...and even then, I'll wait until I can't even replace my old ones with second hand ones bought on ebay. Sure, they do everything, but maybe I LIKE getting lost in strange places or stranded without internet access. In a world controlled by robots, where's the sense of adventure, the spice of life?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go smash some heavy machinery so the small craftsmen won't get put out of a job by these "factory" things I've been hearing about.
So I was at my brothers stand-up gig yesterday, and he was really funny I didn't know he had it in him.
But their was a lot of types, a white dude with an afro and he made a whole joke on that, a very tall man who was so nervous you could see his hand shaking and he could barely talk but he had some funny things to say. My brothers friend was also really funny.
And my brother want to do it again, I am sure going to show up.
And my mind is filled with some other things, but I don't need to get into that I might start to sound like a broken record.

You're missing out on the multiplayer. I never thought I'd care about multiplayer in a glorious singleplayer series like Asscreed, but it really was a blast in Asscreed Broho.

MOCCHI!!
Mochi...
Notice the lack of an extra C.
Dodoo's banning broke time!
Ask Burgermon!
(I just googled the first food in my head and added mon on the end of it..I'm rly surprised there's a burgermon.)
I raise you the Burgermeal foodroid
I think an alien invasion would be more appropriate.

Hmm, I can't look at that without seeing an inverted Golliwog...
... and that ain't right!
I'm willing to bet that it would be less hazardous and caustic to chow down on that lump of plastic, than to consume a McDonalds burger.

Good point.
If DLC counts, so do Expansion Packs.

Like this:
Let's hope they stay that way. I still have nightmares of one of those things sitting there...on my shelf...
Just...staring at me...
Waiting to strike.
There perfect time to strike is 10 seconds before you die of old age.
Which would have been any minute with the grey hairs those things gave me.

Well, I suppose the first question should be is whether there's a Metaverse.
Of course there is! After all, where do you think The Meta lives?
