Not often enough.

Case in point: Mass Effect 2 Just because a game comes out early in the year, doesn't mean you can ignore it in the runnings.

Man, I'd love to play Dead Space, but I'm an absolute wuss when it comes to games. It's not so much the horror aspect, but I don't like stuff popping up at me. I mean shit, I find Minecraft scary sometimes.

I generally make constructive/helpful comments that are subsequently buried until no one can ever find them, because I'm not starred. Nice commenting system, Kotaku.

Dungeons & Dragons Online is surprisingly polished for a free-to-play MMO, compared to other monthly payment MMOs like Age of Conan.

Well shit. Blizz apparently pushed out 3 of the 4 new game types already - Aiur Chef, Starjeweled, and Left 2 Die. They can only be played on specific maps right now, DotA is the only one still unreleased. NNGGGHHH I NEED SOMEONE TO PLAY SC2 WITH.

No one would even care at all if the kid didn't have a disability. As soon as autism got mentioned, Microsoft was gonna come out of it looking like the villain - no way to avoid it. Apparently, following company protocol and doing your job is fine and dandy if it's just a normal 11 year old, but if it's an 11 year old with autism, you're then a heartless bastard.

I dip potato chips in ketchup. Some people think it's weird, but whatever.

All I have lined up for me right now, as far as 2011 goes, is Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and maybe Portal 2. I enjoyed Portal, but it was one of those one-and-done games. I played it once, enjoyed it, didn't touch it again. I'm not sure a sequel will even do the original justice.

Even if it is "bland", it's still fairly informative. Just by looking at the front of the box, you know what's in it. You know what you're getting. With that photoshop job, Portal isn't even on the front at all. The only place you even see it is on the back. The Team Fortress 2 line-up is tiny compared to the GINORMOUS Gordon and Alyx. Also, as a side note: Ginormous is apparently an actual word now. Firefox didn't underline it as an incorrect spelling.

It's the real thing. I've seen it mentioned a few times before. Also, for Excel, I think the Orange Box artwork was fine. The shopped image you posted, while nice looking, places far too much emphasis on Half-Life 2 (when the Orange Box was a collection of 3 games, all of them good).

Yep. http://kotaku.com/5741709/gaming-skills-may-have-saved-this-mans-life "HE SAID VIDEO GAMES, QUICK! POST IT! IT'S RELEVANT!"

The ultimate battle of wills.

Yeah. Plot-wise, The Expendables really had nothing at all, but it was still entertaining. And having both Stallone and Schwarzenegger break the 4th wall and poke fun at each other was pretty awesome.

Last movie I saw was The Expendables. Sure, the plot was literally non-existent, but it was great to watch if you just like explosions and over-the-top deaths and such. Fairly entertaining in that regard. I'm half-tempted to call Michael Cera a terrible actor. He gets type-casted into basically the same role, regardless of the movie.

Movie of 2011, right here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joI-uU86NXw

Vargras just popped into my head one night. Not even kidding. It's fairly unique, so I'm typically able to get it when I need it. The Steam name I typically use is Sock. Why Sock? Because of a demonic hamster. I absolutely love the animation style this guy has.

Unlike God Hand, though, Viewtiful Joe got a sequel and a spot on MvC3.

Correct! I love that scene. "My mistake, four coffins."

I'll start giving hints if no one is anywhere near it.

lol. Oh man, that Mass Effect 2 debate article is so depressing. Let me summarize it: A bunch of people play Mass Effect and are disappointed when Mass Effect 2 doesn't live up to their lofty expectations. And Owen Good doesn't like Mass Effect 2. What a shocker.

"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. Gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you'll apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it." Not too hard, but I simply love this movie far too much to pass up on it.

Is it Se7en?
