Merge owns the European distribution rights, while Wadjet Eye retains North American rights. Dave Gilbert is now aware of this boxed edition, but I don't know if he's planning a retail release himself. I guess it's between him, Joshua, and Merge.

I kinda have to agree. I've played a lot of *awesome* games, but none so far that cause my to stand up and exclaim "THIS is ART!", which I've done for a few movies, TV shows, and songs. Some have gotten very close (Portal), but as a whole at least, games still have a ways to go. But I look...

I voted other. I meant both. They're both big and evil, but in their own special ways. At least they aren't doing the DRM shit that Ubisoft is.

Okay, I'll buy the Kaneda one and someone get Tetsuo's and we can take turns shouting each other's names. TETSUO!

While I absolutely love Fincher, Scorsese, Tarantino, Nolan, Hitchcock, the Coen Brothers, old Spielberg, and Rami... none of them can best my all-time favorite: EDGAR FUCKING WRIGHT. The man is a visionary.

Between Portal 2 and L.A. Noire, the only two games from '11 I have played, I guess Portal 2 wins.

As far as I'm concerned, the only anime worth existing is Cowboy Bebop. I mean, I'm not trying to disparage other anime (though I totally am), but Bebop is just pure motherfucking art, plain and simple. The only others I've seen that I consider objectively good are FLCL, Perfect Blue, Grave of...

I'd get myself a sturdy suit of armor, one with an especially snug and sturdy helmet, and strap all sorts of pointy bits to it. Then, I'd swallow a cyanide capsule. And I'd come back as the most badass zombie of all.

I believe all of them SO. HARD. Like, especially Camping because the last half-dozen times he's been wrong have done nothing to dissuade my faith in his predictive powers. You'd think predicting the end of the world would be a fool's game since best case scenario everyone's dead and no one cares...

This is known as a "bad precedent". Also "extortion". They've realized they're selling digital crack and they won't stop until they have ALL the moneys.

RIAA = Evil. If this story isn't enough to convince you, look into their suit against Jammie Thomas, single mother and ruthless Kazaa user. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_v._Thomas] Piracy is bad, yes, but this sort of excessive retribution makes fools out of the vengeful copyright...

This will come in handy for playing all 3 of my PSP games if I cannot resist getting Persona 4: Golden Ultimate Extreme Fanboy Edition, and the necessary PS Vita on which to play it.

When moving from the N64 to the Gamecube, I experimented with the dual-finger approach for games that used the Z button frequently, but it never stuck. The ergonomics of the Dualshock and the Xbox controllers particularly discourage this arrangement, and most games prioritize the lower triggers...

Now, for starters... I DON'T SUPPORT PIRACY BUT... I wouldn't say "not art" so quickly. The post reads exactly as dismissive and close-minded as articles against gaming's artistic merits. Actually, in this case, I can sort of see the artistic merit in such a huge amount of information...

Stop being quiet and nervous and be angry and disenfranchised instead. You will be by the time you're a senior, so why not start early? <- [cross individual]
