... I have been intellectually outmanoeuvred. You win this time.

This post right here? This one I'm writing now? It is totally art. Do you see the problem in your statement?

Modern art is just so much navel-gazing. The question is always 'what is art? Is this art? How far can we push the boundaries?' That's the problem with post-modernism; it's all about introspection, and the rest of the world can go hang itself. And while these boundaries are being pushed, what's...

You know, it would be much easier to avoid outcry against video games if we didn't keep doing stupid shit like this. I mean, I knew this game was going to be a ridiculous bad-taste-fest the moment I saw the preview for the Lust level ('we thought that the doggy-style monsters really evoked the...

That is easily one of the best sentences I have ever heard in my life. Bravo, sir.

The only people who are going to see it are the fanboys. Even then, why just have Space Marines vs. Orks? Why not have the good ol Imperial Guard fighting the enemies of mankind, with the vanilla marines in the background. That way, people can be more gradually introduced to the concept of 40K...

Na na na-na na-na. Na-na-na-na na-na. Na na na-na na-na GHOSTBUSTERS.

The awesomeness of the last words depends on the context of the death. Saying most of these things while lying on your deathbed, riddled with swine flu, would probably be more depressing than awesome. Yelling these at the top of your lungs while a T-Rex falls from the sky on fire right on top...

No other idea on this entire thread will ever match being Batman. I'd personally like to play Oblivion, just so I can have a Truman Show-like breakdown when the Uncanny Valley effect finally gets to me, screaming about how the entire world is a lie and kicking Wood Elves across the map like...

Why don't the older kids have guns as well? In fact, why wouldn't the older kids get sick of living in Big Town, with the constant threat of super mutant shaped death hanging over them, and stroll right back into Lamplight armed to the teeth? Are you seriously telling me that the...

Am I the only one creeped out when somebody says 'I cannot kill children and therefore immersion is lost'? I mean, I'd want to punch those kids in their irritating smug nonsensical faces, but to go as far as to desire the ability to kill a fictional child? Some shit is just messed up, regardless...

God damn, most of these posts are either (the inevitable, and frankly not unwarranted) cries of 'Stop Bethesda molesting the franchise', or requests for more guns and ghoul strippers and a gun which fire naked slot machines and sex. Frankly, if Obsidian brings their writing A-game to this one...

Being the special and unique snowflake that I am, I liked both games. And yet simultaneously I hated them. Does that make sense? The first one was an amusing diversion, but the storyline and world was so achingly generic, and I felt I had no impact on the world other than 'kill X civilian' or...

This is what I thought this thread would actually be about. I feel cheated.

Gladly conceded. I will admit it was above-par by anime standards. And looking over my previous post, I've realised how my review of NGE was barely-coherent raging babble. So I'd like to take a minute, just sit down there, and I'll try to make some sense. Yes, the script has its moments, and...
