Making cut-scenes into a movie is not a good idea. As many people have already pointed out there would be huge gaps where the game play is. Also, most cut-scenes have no where near the narrative value that even the crappiest of movies have. This problem is the basis of the Unskippable video...

Actually, since it is more of a national sport, the bigger problem is match-fixing. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99932-Cheating-Scandal-Rocks-South-Korean-StarCraft-Circuit

This is one form of hack. http://www.youtube.com/user/psyStarcraft#p/u/10/LBOrDptVtak

I too would also like to add my disgust of that phrase, even though it is used in jest. Terrible could either mean severe or it could mean extremely bad. That was a terrible storm or that was terrible coffee. The context is supposed to disambiguate which is meant. While I can eventually...

Dr. Mark, hopefully you are aware of Jamie Madigan and his blog www.psychologyofgames.com. If not, allow me to be the first to point you in his direction. One of his posts addresses the same issue, although from a research instead of a clinical standpoint...

I was about to point out the same thing. I can appreciate your frustration with the misuse. While I believe the author was using the term Schizophrenia colloquially (he apologizes for this in a comment) he actually inadvertently does use it in a correct clinical sense. The publicly held...

Looks like you're playing with your new video editing software.

If I were the Freudian type I might think the abundant use of "cats" would have something to do with the implications of this Rebecca Mayes Muses video [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/rebecca-mayes-muses/1626-Behind-the-Scenes-The-Sequel].

I'm not sure the multi-touch surface control scheme would be simpler. You would still have to issue the same commands, the only change would be how. It basically replaces learning button clicks with learning gestures. Since not all commands have an intuitive gesture (what gesture would you...

I've read through the series a couple of times. I love the saidin/saidar description of magic. It seems like a natural phenomenon rather than an unexplained plot device. I also enjoyed most of the scenes with Mat. The Myrddraal were pretty cool in the Eye of the World. The political stuff...

While the saying did not originate from the game, I imagine that some of the developers have played Borderlands and have heard that song. While that doesn't mean that the BioShock 2 phrase is a reference to Borderlands, it could qualify Borderlands as an inspiration.

Wouldn't the term "pet" be a misnomer here? Both of these "pets" sound like they are sentient beings. As such wouldn't it be correct to call them "slaves"? Although, that doesn't sound as cute. I might be a little late to the party with this question, seeing as how I don't play WOW.
