My partner has HIV, and the meds for that, even though they have come an incredibly long way, are still very rough on the body. I'm curious to see what sorts of side-effects DRACO would have on a person, because if it's going to cause hallucinations, waking dreams, rapid weight loss, sweating...

Dear Anonymous, You're not fun anymore. Please go away. Love, Cobalt.

I love the little piece of double-speak here; it's a good PR man that can contradict himself in the span of one sentence.

Not press charges? Seriously? You have to be kidding me.

The fact that the man detailing this merger is named Kafka makes me wonder if perhaps it's not all a massive metaphor, representing both the fact that games have become a corporate matter and also that life is an endless series of unsettling encounters en route to the grave. But maybe that's...

All I want to know is how in the hell something this massive was able to happen.

For my money, Mulholland Drive would be a perfect fit somewhere on here; highbrow though he is, Lynch may be one of our greatest living directors, and one of the few who could be said to actually touch the subconscious on screen. But a very good list even without my favorite movie of the 2000s.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if that really is the twist the game is leading up to? It seems like it'd be an interesting twist if it was done well.

Hale's voice acting never ceased to amaze me in the first game, and I'd feel weird playing it any other way. I do hope she makes it into the third game, just for sexism's sake.

Hope the computers in the library blocked inane conversations like this.

I got walking pneumonia in fifth or sixth grade and clocked in the 150+ range of Final Fantasy X in about three weeks -- I think I got every ultimate weapon except one or two, all the Dark Aeons, and some other goodness; I remember pummeling the last boss to pieces, specifically using Lulu's...

Wait, what? Everyone, you do realize this is simply EA trying to back-pedal an incredibly, INCREDIBLY tasteless marketing decision, yes? That all they were trying to do in the first place was provoke the same level of shock as Modern Warfare 2, only to the point of playing as an ACTIVE terrorist...

Day 1 buy for me.

It looks like blam blam shooty fun, but here I was hoping for subtle horror to maybe make a comeback; kinda gave up on that when I saw it was the same director of RE:4. Don't get me wrong, love him to death, but it's nothing on Silent Hill.

Almost all of the bosses in Persona 4 are bitches except for the last two, and even then you have to play your cards close to your chest. Every one of them has INSANE amounts of health, and your first time through the game, when you're getting a handle on how all of the game's systems work, you...
