True, but I think the author of the article was suggesting to move the setting to rural modern America, rather than the cities. I guess to show how little has changed.

Haha, Elton John doing Pinball Wizard, very apropos. But generally, gambling machines are a terrible thing and should be kept very separate from pinball machines, which may consume a bit of time and money for those who obsess a bit over them, but are a far cry from the life ruining Fruit...

The UK prices are insane. The equivalent of $27 and $55 for the normal and deluxe editions respectively. I'm starting to see why they had the Microsoft points. It allowed MS to charge more in different countries without them finding out how ripped off they were getting. That's a full £10 ($15)...

Both the Mafia games are neither... The city is an illusion of a sandbox, it's more of a stage set for the missions (some of which are very good). And the first is set mainly in the 30s, the second is 40s-50s. So it is conceivable that you might like them more than you think...

Haha, what a mess. I still have a boxed copy of both games. They are indeed very good fun, but the final boss of the first game is made of pure bullshit. I can't remember if I ever bothered finishing it.

Since you have to invest 30 humanity in a covenant that appears to have nothing to do with him, and kill some apparently harmless critters, it is a touch obscure. It's unlikely that you would stumble upon it without knowing. A friend of mine told me how to get back to the asylum, I know a lot of...

I do this loads for various reasons. I'm enjoying myself and I don't really aim on finishing. I did that with Oblivion. I was also enjoying GTA IV and for some reason, the game stopped working and got very unstable in the last act. I still don't know how it finished. The Witcher 2 I got close to...

Loads of good advice here. I'd also suggest doing life drawing to anyone who wants to draw figures, human or otherwise. It may have gone a little out of fashion these days, but accept no substitute for getting proportions right. And Eclipse Dragon is right about drawing by hand and digitally...

I've never tried it, but apparently the 1948 Cheval Blanc is the most tannic and acidic vintage. So it wouldn't have been the extra 15 minutes... I know you were joking, but that is actually true. I work at a wine merchants BTW. Speaking of which: Wine tastings where there are far too many wines...

The maid laundered and ironed an NYPD uniform I got for a university project many years ago and laid it out on the bed. I'm guessing she thinks I'm moonlighting as a stripper or something. Also there were some furry handcuffs that my ex left lying around. On the plus side, she tidied everything...

I've totally tried that before. I don't quite know why the corpses get stuck on your shoes like trailing toilet paper, but it makes for some funny situations. I once had a corpse stuck in my characters armpit for ages like I was bullying some skinny kid with a headlock. The 'praise the sun'...

Aah *that* kind of dragon. Yes, difficult to predict when fighting and quite a fun way to play. In co-op you are fairly unstoppable if you synchronise the shockwave and your partner's attack. Although I'd call that pretty dirty. Dung pies are only dirty in the literal sense, they are being used...

Thank you, I found doing life drawing helps... I usually go a couple of times a month. And also, I find that nice paper begets better drawings. I find that I can't hear what is going on in Dark Souls if I have any other program running over it. Otherwise I'd probably boot up Binding of Isaac...

I was talking about the PC version. Simply because it takes such an age. I also have it for 360, but haven't played it in months. I've got quite attached to the characters on my PC version.

Sorcerer, yep. spot on, plus the maiden robes (which are the worst armour, redeemed a little by the magic defense). Ranger, It's actually Artorias's armour, bow was right though (I blame the drawing, I was summoned before I could do the pattern on the scarf.) The sword is the Bastard sword...
