*newspaper...comic...sense...twitching* The helium balloons on a chair idea wasn't from Calvin and Hobbes it was from Bloom County Otherwise, pure awesome

Not their choice. They have an exclusivity deal with MS for the purely online streaming service, so they have to use a physical disc, just as a kind of a client. Service on the PSN is the same Also, I'm loving my Netflix on my Wii

Wow, whats with some of the EA hate in here? Four years ago, yeah, but they've really cleaned up their act as of late. Also, This

Why does the plot to FSG:TG already sound better than most big budget games? I mean, idolize technology so they have ships shaped like the wheel? There some symbolism shit going on there.

I dunno, I only got into TF2 about a year ago, and it doesn't seem like its filled with obsessive micromanagers as much as other games. I mean I've currently got like a .8/1 kill/death ratio, that's not bad for a guy who only pops on on weekends. As for the MMOG thing, yeah, I'm currently...

So...the ladies can walk around without pants than?

Yeah, I'll be honest, Spock is awesome and all, but I'd rather have me Patrick Stewert. I mean, we got Nimoy's sultry descriptions in Civ IV

So, this one of my favorite comics, and I noticed this this morning: The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee Notice the paperweight in the last few frames? Anyway, it got me thinking, video games in comics. Anyone else remember any little cameos like this? I think I remember a Mega Man X thing...

RPG style upgrades and customizations work in games where you can approach a situation and handle it different ways. i.e, you could snipe those guys off, or you could go in guns ablazing, or you could lay land-mines, or some other method. but it seems like in games like Call of Duty you don't...

Hmm, interesting. After the thief and PoP retrospectives, I wondered if he'd ever do one for Silent Hill 2. I really should go back and play this now. If the atmosphere is as freaky and blubber-like as he says, it sounds like something I'd really enjoy. Was there any particular reason...

Well, not surprising that he didn't love it, but at least he admitted it was decent.

Truly blew me away, graphics, game, and everything? That would have to be Braid. I finally got around to buying it a few weeks ago, and while the puzzles were top notch and in line with the best brain-bending games out there, the graphics and use of music made it one of the most...profound...

I read this, and I think of a game that got right what Bioshock got wrong. The game I'm talking about is almost exactly what this article was describing. There's an indie RPG called Geneforge from like, 2002, with a very similar concept to Bioshock. In the game, (and it's sequels), there exist...
