$20 is tempting.
Get to play some friends of mine who aren't on XBL.
The downside is that playing people with lacking systems makes the matches bog down apparently ?
Either way, it's pretty apparent that this sale is directed towards those who already own is on ps3/xbox, and maybe want to have a pc copy as well :|

Yeah, whom would i play it with? Lag to any populated areas would be terrible. I'd be better off with Dawn of Discovery on Impulse :D

The fuck is up with this background? scrolling is like a slideshow on my laptop. I thought that this was joystiq, not ign.

I doubt it's the image doing that. The background is only 90KB.

Can you explain why it's fine after some adblockage?

The skin isn't being served by an ad server (like Einhanderkiller said, it's pretty small) – perhaps the 300x250 ad unit up top is stuttering your browser? That's an ad being served by our ad platform and that unit has been on Joystiq since its inception. It has nothing to do with the skin and nothing to do with the quality of our editorial. If you make your distinctions between publications based on the advertising on the site, that's your prerogative, but it seems like a particularly uninformed way of deciding what to read.

One of the strengths of an open platform like the PC is the huge amount of customization possible. You don't have to play with a keyboard -- you can hook up a 360 controller or even the 360 SF4 joystick.

Einhinder is right, I love how customizable and flexible the PC platform is. Not only do I have a wide variety of control options to pick from, but also how to play the game. On a desk, hooked up to my TV, or even on a laptop, that is pretty darn cool if you ask me.

Yea, like the others said, the PC allows you to do whatever you want with your games. It's possible to use the PS3 controller, Wiimote, 360 controller, fightpads, joysticks, blah blah blah. But beyond that it doesn't even limit you to sitting in a desk, I know not everyone has a recent computer but most laptops made in the last year or so have HDMI, so you could play the game on your tv with your 360 controller and the experience will be pretty much the same as those with the console version of the game. (But, you can take it with you on a plane)

This is what all our compulsive commenting, trolling, arguing, etc. has gotten us. We gave them more page hits, they sold their hits to the highest bidders.

Ridgecity – it won't be here long. This isn't a permanent addition.
mr nimblewick: you severely overestimate how much traffic we get from comments and commenting. A very small fraction; approximately 1/5 of 1% of our daily traffic. Often less.

I find it amazing that you just have that statistic at the ready.

It is a really ugly, intrusive ad. Capitalizing on the traffic from PAX is my guess.

I don't know. I kinda enjoy Street Fighter II more than I do Street Fighter IV.

Why am I so tempted by this? I already own it on PS3 and barelly play it as it is with my rediculous backlog (seriously it's running to around 80 titles now, most of which I havn't even started :s. At least I finally finished HL2ep2 a few weeks ago lol). Is it the ability to play in 1920x1200 with loads of AA? Is it achievements? Is it the fact I inherently love PC gaming more? Whats wrong with me? Gaaaahhhh!
