If I'm not mistaken, I'm starting my third year as a publisher's club member --- and I'm happy to read this statement of direction. Originally, I joined the escapist community to read other peoples considered thoughts on games I have played and was playing. This is not the job of a review...

... soooo... live action Robot Chicken?

... hrm and my classification as a "doublethinker" by this system is just a very juicy irony to that position.

Hrm quoting not working for me. But in reply to mechanixis reply to my post... I suppose I forget about the americans. Even Americans have good radio, but they have less of it. Here in Canada, I would rank several of CBC's radio plays among my top must listens of the week and I think that...

The basic flaw in the argument is ignoring history. Video didn't kill radio. It may have changed it (as part of your thesis), but it didn't even diminish it let alone kill it. But the real battle is over user controlled devices vs. concierge controlled devices.

I didn't really get that this was british --- but given that, are we wandering off into the white mountains a-la tripods?

At least they went after someone with money first. I don't know if Doom/Quake predates their "discovery" ... but I'm pretty sure something like xpilot would.

Over the past couple of weeks, I'd been wondering if yatzee had lost "it." The reviews were getting kinda "samey." One could argue (as he did) that this was partially due to the games themselves getting samey ... but this particular triumph of spew does it's best to argue otherwise. While...

I came across this, and I don't remember where, but when steam isn't authorizing your client to do something, sometimes changing the "city" you're in fixes it.

Completely off topic... Is it just my imagination, or does the title shot of Kathleen make her look much more chesty... :).

I throw in another vote for paypal. I don't have credit cards (a matter of circumstance and choice) and I would sign up with paypal, but I'm unable to sign up with amazon.

Not that you've ever listened to me or replied to my comments. Not that I matter. But (never having played it, but it seems to be well recommended to people wanting space battles): Shattered Horizon ... or maybe Gratuitous Space Battles ... might be a place to start.

Just to reboot the conversation, I really divide games into two categories right now in my mind, and both are doing quite well, thank-you. The first is game's that I'll pay full freight for. These are games I'm not going to ever let go, either. Games like Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 1 and...

Seems like all you need is a nazi mod for l4d2 --- whence you can wield the guitar to kill them.

Hrnh. I didn't feel the need to comment about your voice last week, but now I feel left out. It did seem as if it was a standin --- the vocal performance wasn't as polished as normal... but the sardonic wit was present --- so with the writing OK, I just let it go... :)
