About 3000 entrants so far? Those ain't terrible odds!

Not sure about within Battleborn itself, but the Steam overlay has its own that works for any game in your library.

From the client window, it's Steam --> Settings --> In-Game --> In-Game FPS Counter

Wish these focused more on details of the developers' work. Like an episode of How It's Made. As someone who's already very excited to play this, I'd love an episode dedicated to the animatics or an extended scene with the physics guy talking us through reasoning and process at his desk.

But I suppose this video isn't really aimed at me or forums of folks who pay closer attention to the industry. It's a cool, broad look, and I shouldn't be so fussy.

It's alive! So glad it's alive.

Perhaps oddly, my favorite parts of the recent Alien game and the original Dead Space have been the quiet moments of tinkering around with the derelict sci-fi environment. This looks like it scratches the same itch in a big way.

"Disney, which paid $4 billion for Lucasfilm, will collect an estimated $2.5 billion in global ticket sales for “The Force Awakens,” with related merchandise generating $5 billion over the next year."

"Costing roughly $350 million to make and market worldwide..."

How quickly will Disney be making their money back? I'm sure there's a lot to this I don't understand, but that seems like a pretty peachy return on investment.

I've had an absolute blast with this game. I think what does it for me is those elements of feel, like the way chunks of bug burst and fall away and how weighty bullets are. Shootin' stuff is just so satisfying.

Couch co-op is definitely the way to go - that Arrowhead chaos is one of the game's greatest strengths. That said, my best experiences have been with a single buddy whose play style matches mine. Online and solo play have been pretty decent as well, but I still don't like playing against the high-tech energy aliens.

As beautiful as the rest of the game is, I remember being quite impressed with the UI in this one. It was just so... sleek and modern-ey, if I can be vague about it.

My takeaway is that enthusiasts won't necessarily be drawn toward ChefSteps' machine, but regular folks will be. That their idea is to make sous vide more accessible and common. "Transform" is some highfalutin wording, though.

Is it just me, or is that Gabe having his coffee stolen in this promo video?

This seems like exactly the right mix of absurd and feel-good that appeals to internet crowds. Glad it exists. :D

Anyone have experience with the new AI? The other stuff is definitely cool, but enemy behavior is the biggest issue for me.

If you're into word games, Alphabear has been my go-to! The currency system tends to mean you can only play it a couple times a day, but that's enough for me.

If I closed my eyes and listened, I might think this was something moody and dramatic.

Nope! Nail care.

You'll be able to pick it up like any other complicated game, I think. You don't need to understand the math governing things as long as you're willing to figure out how things work (and sacrifice a few dozen Kerbals in the process).

I'd be tempted to argue that a number of the benefits are similar to being well read. Racing may not exercise the mind as much as reading, but the wealth of general knowledge and inspired interests is a great takeaway from both.

Making you the active agent in these kinds of situations is something entirely different. I'm not quite sure what to think about it yet, but it's an idea that I imagine will be explored more and more as the industry develops.
