It's a pity they gave up on the digital license trading. Don't get me wrong, losing the daily logins is worth it, but, they had Some good ideas. Without the 24hour login someone could presumably download a game, put their xbox offline, login to another xbox, trade a game, keep playing said game...

The last thing that stuck out for me was just after the Borderlands 2 credits. I skipped them but 'How you like me now' kept playing. It felt like I was playing the opening cutscene.

Mirror's Edge is an interesting sort of a case. I wouldn't say it's a Better game just for being innovative, nor that it makes its flaws excusable. It's more that I can't get the experience anywhere else and so I'm more willing to play through it despite the flaws. I don't think I'd be so...

Well... I was browsing reddit and I'm sorry to report that your million dollar 'all-year Christmas tree' idea has been taken. And copyrighted. And put before dragon's den. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6067ATwc80s#t=1557s It was on /r/cringe

I wasn't afraid... until Too Human II.

There's a panel show in Australia (The Gruen Transfer) where they analyse ads. The marketing people on the panel were discussing why sex sells. Something along the lines of: It works on women because they think 'that couldn't be me' then the ad says 'But it could with THIS' It works on men...

Huh, for all the worry about your songs being repetitive I think it works for GFSML! Doesn't bug me at all, perhaps because I've listened to it so many times? At any rate, no need for it to be Far less repetitive.

Thanks for the video Jim! (And thank God for Jim) Given that a game has extra, completed content by the time a game is released then I'd prefer that it's on the disc. I was a little confused by the focus of Jim's arguments, but I think it was on the real problem: whether or not developers...

I've been bugged by that free speech thing so much! Well done on articulating your points so clearly.

As far as playing a bad game to completion goes, I've done that plenty of times, but more with movies or tv episodes. In fact, my best example has to be 2001 A Space Odyssey. Classic movie, of course, but everything in it I'd heard of or seen done faster in Star Trek. So any spectacles or plot...

I'm more grateful now than ever for your different styles; Very pleased with this song :D. Now I'm just worried that if you do settle on a style we might miss out on something great!

It doesn't matter that a game needs both gameplay and story; the show's called 'No Right Answer' after all. I don't think I'll try to give a preference, but I will say that I find the way that gameplay can affect the storytelling interesting. Even QTEs can be used to resolve a situation which...

Ok, one argument for killing and eating animals that I'm yet to find a good rebuttal for: What's better for the cow, (1) using space and resources to grow cows and then kill and eat them. (2) using space and resources to grow meat and then eat it/Not eating meat. One way cows live for a...

That's a copout answer! They were unfairly limiting the situaton, sure, but the moral dilemma was 'kill baby;,correctpunctuation;.;'.;'.; or don't kill baby and then Everyone is killed by soldiers' (you can take it as being baby for the sake of the situation being believeable, or does that...

'A personal philosophy should Probably be longer and more comprehensive than this.' (even my philosophy is a useless copout!)
