Another vote here! Anyone got the skills to make a simple but addictive game based on surviving the stressful trials we have just witnessed? post script /edit. I've now watched this LRR episode at least 6 times. It's just amazing.

The only ways to properly acheive this would be either; 1. to invent something that made the toilet unnecessary before the toilet was invented, or 2. if option 1 is not possible, to somehow shape each human civilisation around the idea of putting our crap to some specific purpose, that...

Daft, utterly daft

Hank Pym is probably the most uncanny character in the Marvel Universe, being capable of the most and least human roles in any story, often within pages of one another. If he is by far the smartest man in the room (and he usually is), his god complex kicks in, based in his extraordinary...

The Lady in the Lake a much quoted but otherwise highly obscure film noir filmed almost entirely in the first person

DARTHS AND DROIDS

Yeah, I'm willing to bet it doesn't work. The whole concept just doesn't seem to make any sense (and I won't go into how America's system is against international law and treaties, or that as I understand it, it relies on delicate equipment spread across several countries all working...

This is even less plausible than mine... missile defenses are almost impossible, and it's far easier to design a better missile.

I'd probably nuke them even if it weren't my country being fired on. Hell, if I had it my way there'd be a "Mouse that Roared" scenario, where a few tiny countries take everyone elses Nukes, and if any of the "Superpowers" were even found building one, the punishment is annihilation. Then...

Maybe they should set every game in the past, like MGS3, and any time a kid dies it turns out they were important in some way to your story...

That's going up on my wall. Best Analogy Ever.

What if The Emperor of Tamriel started some kind of conquest or crusade against a distant and newly discovered land, and the player gets caught up in the middle? That way we have the continuity, the same races (at least on one side) and (again on one side) the religious and political...

Nord or Orc. The Lady or The Warrior. Heavy armour and Blade or Light armour and Blunt Alchemy Merchantile Speachcraft Destruction (or sometimes Marksman) Alteration (or sometimes Security) Covers all the bases, but I tend to level up too quickly, and need lots of those potions and...

Deus Ex was a brilliant, intelligent game, full of depth and interest... it's graphics were only just good even at the time, but it was so well written that your imagination literally filled in the gaps. All the basic troops used exactly the same model, and there were only a few...

I think it's to do with games that would be ruined, are being ruined, or have been ruined by remakes, whether well intentioned flops or pointless cash in.
