Ah, thank you for that. I figured something was either amiss or I didn't have the whole story straight. edit: Obviously, I'd make a terrible lawyer.

So after reading the article about how I as an Xbox 360 user can't sue Microsoft if I download their latest update here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/114601-Newest-Xbox-360-Update-Prevents-Class-Actions-Suits-Against-Microsoft I was pretty worried. I mean, I probably won't...

Saren Arterius. The guy was just trying to help, then got brainwashed, then kept trying to help in his own new brainwashed way.

All right Escapist, so I just watched some Uncharted series gameplay and trailers on Youtube and was pretty impressed. The thing is, I don't own a PS3. So which games do you want to play but come on a different platform? I'd say the Uncharted series because Drake looks pretty awesome as a...

So we need gnomes who are more gnomish, but with some hobbit mixed in? Doesn't sound very original IMO, but their lore or quirks of character may set them apart. No, it doesn't seem fun since the +3 dex is kind of ridiculous, and the minuses can be built around in a twink character, but...

Sorry, the poll only allowed for 8 and I was going off the stuff Yahtzee's article listed.

Kinda late to the party, but I was looking through Yahtzee's article: Upcoming Games Won't Suck, Hopefully. That one: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/8968-Extra-Punctuation-Upcoming-Games-Wont-Suck-Hopefully Anyway, which are YOU most interested in...

Mortal Kombat and Super Mario. Because doing a fucking fatality on Bowser would solve Peach's kidnapping problem.

A civil discussion is a disrespect of someone's opinion? The guy in the op's story is apparently pretty intelligent, I'm sure he can handle a little disagreement. Besides, by suppressing my view and my right to express it, you're disrespecting it.

All of them. Because I want the ability to say or do whatever I want (no game can have unlimited dialogue/action options), and to have the option to go wherever, unconstrained by an arbitrary boundary set by some all-powerful creator (dev).

Does Unskippable Cutscenes right before a difficult boss battle count as a mechanic? Because after the fifteenth try, I'm so interested in seeing the same animation again.

Like bacteria? Evolution has been observed in petri dishes.

I finished Team Fortress 2 in one sitting.

I think I should just point out that nearly EVERYBODY on this site has watched that Extra Credits video too. I'm going to go with Team Fortress 2's aesthetics as really cool. The game would be fun without that aesthetic, but playing it in that style just makes it even better.
