You can't really say anything about The Stanley Parable without spoiling it. Except maybe that it's a parody/satire of modern games and game choices.

One of the most underrated bands. I love that they're epic without being fantasy/mythology themed (not that I dislike those themes, I'm just saying it's refreshing). The vocals are a mix of clean and harsh, with a bit of Sean Connery "sh" thrown in. Seriously.

HATS MATTER!!! Seriously did you see all the cool pyro headgear? Now you can look like an even crazier fire-obsesed lunatic who gleefully burns people to death. :D

The video is back up, so I guess it all ended well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjTa_x3rbJE

Most people have probably seen this already, but I feel it's appropriate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz1L63TdhC8 Just a great analysis of why the romance (of which there is barely any) doesn't work. I also personally thought that Anakin was just unlikeable.

The Legend of Korra has much more flaws compared to Avatar, but for some reason I found it almost equally enjoyable to watch. It's definitely not a cash-in and you should check it out.

It should have been a paleontologist, not an archeologist.

I love Legend of Dragoon. It's one of my all time favorite games. What's weird though is that what I remember most is the hilariously terrible voice acting during cutscenes.

Because they're the only typical fantasy heroes (at least Ned, Robb and Jon are) in a non-typical fantasy setting. They're easy to like quickly and guide you into the world.

To stop reading/watching after the Red Wedding is possibly the dumbest thing you can do. You miss out on so many great moments later.

First I thought it was eSluts... Then I realized it was related to the Nostalgia Critic... Then I understood what it was about.

This might be helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cel-shaded_video_games My personal recommendation is Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (AKA Sheep Raider). Originally on the PS, but has been re-released on the PC. It's possibly my most favorite game ever.

I supppose it does. I think I just learned something about myself. Excuse me, I want to go play a game...

I don't hate Theon nor enjoy the Bastard (although I like them both as characters), so it's probably not that. I think it's because of the mind games involved, not the actual physical torture. I loved it even in the book because it completely changed Theon's psyche. Although we don't see the...
