Coin Flip. No cheating. No inherent ability to screw either party. Only raw probability. Seems fair enough.

Bjork. An Army of One.

If it counts, the 'Lavos Game Over' scene in Chrono Trigger gives me chills just thinking about it. The world fades to grayscale and it slowly reads: "...but the future refused to change..." As for 'actual' endings, though, it is hard to beat Bastion.

Could you an imagine a Billy Pilgrim ride-along through the events of Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut?

Suikoden I or II. Or III. Or IV.

$100,000,000? Driving schools. First-class plane tickets. Front-row concert seating. EA Microtransactions. Shouldn't be too hard to get there.

You people are greedy. 1) Full tank of gas. 2) 12-Pack, Diet Mountain Dew 3) Four-day weekend. Then I'd grant my own wishes.

Skyrim is one of a handful of games I consider "watercooler games," in that each of my friends/co-workers/casual acquaintances who have played the game can identify a moment (or several) that has a story. In the 80s/90s, we had highscores as brag-worthy items- -"watercooler games" have...
