I certainly hope that they're talking about subtitles! Making the cheapo translation should be easy -- google translate ftw.

-- I'm quoting because I agree. Two things need pointing out: 1: There are several ways a guy can have an erection without arousal being involved 2: Arousal does not equal consent!

Just to check. Are these the three arguments? 1: Portraying female video game character's bodies as unrealistically sexy is bad because women some times lose out on jobs because they don't look enough like Lara Croft. Also, nothing like this happens to men. 2: Portraying female video game...

Honestly, I only watched the Flintstones because I'd watch any cartoon back when I was little. The jokes got old fast, and I was never very fond of the standard Hanna-Barbera techniques for limited animation. I don't know how many times I saw Fred's walking loop on top of that endless...

Just thought of this game the other day, actually :) Definitely a nice little overlooked gem. Of course, a lot of my enthusiasm was due to the fact that it was the late nineties and OMG VIDEO ON MY COMPUTER! Here's the intro, it gives you an idea of the feel of the game...

A friend mentioned the old Encarta CDs, which supposedly did something similar. Of course Encarta was a huge success... :l

-- Pretty sure that's ignorance, not arrogance.

I'm actually enjoying New Vegas a fair bit more than I did Fallout 3 -- and I think that's mostly because it doesn't crash as much and because I'm playing an asshole with a hammer. It really does cut down on the time spent in "conversation" Also, it seems more varied.

It's better to succeed at something cool than to fail at photo realism, and failing at photo realism does seem to be the option that most games have picked since whatever the first textured 3D game was. Even though you have games like interstate '76, viewtiful Joe and Team Fortress 2 that have...

Saevus, for no particular reason I think you'll like this one: http://www.picturesforsadchildren.com/ RentCavalier, how does this work, is this thread for your reviews only or do I get to post my own? I second the endorsement of Templar, Arizona, by the way - although it's been a while...
