You leave Muse out of this.

I am currently naked. I do not know why this is. I think the game bugged out.

First-person shooters in general -- The frenetic pacing works well - but it's mostly the older games that capture that sense of mental panic well. More recent ones, well, kinda don't. Modern Warfare 1 -- The story was definitely above average by the (low as the poxy Challenger Deep) standards...

Oh wow, the US military is full of idiots. In other news, the Pope has denied rumours of a conversion to Methodism and when asked what it was doing, a bear in the woods said "Do you mind? I'm kind of in the middle of something. Also, nip down the Spar, will you, we're out of paper." Need I...

If we're doing this, we have to do it properly. That means a proper script as well. Personally, I like the idea of the van driver meeting some ex-cop girl who's just been worn down by years in hell and her tagging along for a level or two, maybe helping with a puzzle mechanic by her being able...

5 million for jumping the queue? Sign me the fuck up.

My vote goes to Victorian England, except that it doesn't. The British Empire is the largest there has ever been; if you pick it as a setting, you pick pretty much EVERYWHERE as a setting. You could complete your objectives during the riots of the Chartists, sever the head of a corrupt...

One for "But, Sir..." in my opinion.

Fuck. I'm Meat Boy's kid. Fuck.

Calling CoD a good game is silly. It's a fantastic business model, sure, because there's a boatload of rednecks out there who like firing automatic weapons at them thar dirty furraners, but very rarely are the games interesting in single player. In the WWII-era games, it's the same damn story...

An ouija board is no more dangerous than any other board game, and considerably less dangerous than psychics, mediums and other such examples of fraudulent dickweasels conning the bereaved into acts of intellectual surrender whilst paying for the privilege.

... It's Craig Finn out of The Hold Steady. ... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh...

Whilst it's true that Switzerland is the only place to possess compulsory militia duty for all adult males, I think that the comparative lack of guns would make a European Fallout a lot more interesting. Having it as a kind of post-apocalyptic Condemned, wherein one scraps with mutant ghouls...
