That video made me feel dirty. Deleted it off my history, but I still don't feel clean...

No, that was definitely FF15. I think they just clipped together games from e3 for the video, not necessarily exclusives. Pretty certain Mirror's Edge 2 won't be exclusive, but that was shown as well. Clip in question around the 3:11 mark.

Sorry you had to go through that, man. Losing a dog is really tough, especially when he was so young. I really hope Booker pulls through and lives on for his older brother. Hang in there, little guy. We're all rooting for you.

That was pretty much the appeal of Jon and Arin. These two friends who were almost completely opposite but some how had great chemistry and fed off that energy. Danny is alright, he knows his stuff and has a few funny moments. But they're both too self-contained. The chemistry isn't nearly the same and now it's like any other 2-player Let's Play out there. The worst part is that intro. I can't take Danny saying "not so grump". It's like mom's new boyfriend trying to hard to imitate the silly things dad did ala The Claw in Liar Liar. Steam Train just sucks. No one really hates these new guys, they're just not funny. I think a fair amount of the backlash comes from the fact that they waited until they hit a million subscribers to introduce this new show. I guess they didn't want to build their own viewers on a separate channel so they rode off the success of Grumps to take 'em there quicker.

Quite an in-depth look, and something of concern. I agree with you in that being purchased by a third party will be more beneficial and less painful for everyone involved and wouldn't have to sacrifice platform exclusive projects. It'd be a damn shame if Persona 5 was a PS3 exclusive and then bought by Nintendo before completion. Though, one question on my mind is what if there isn't a buyer? Will Atlus just dissolve and sell its assets? I'm unfamiliar with business law, so all you smart guys, give me a hand here.

I was on the same boat about the ending for a while until

This will certainly make my Fire Emblem withdrawal easier.

I was more partial to Mass Effect 1's opening than 2. I really loved how the title showed playing to that awesome synth. Other standouts I can think of include Assassin's Creed 2 and Persona 3. Actually, all three of those start out with some damn fine music playing alongside the intro. I suppose that's what makes it more memorable to me.

I kinda wondered that too. Guess they felt more secure photographing the mountain folk? Well, we certainly love our plantains, that's for sure.

Gentlemen, take a shot. We might as well make a drinking game over this.

https://twitter.com/DavidBHayter Looks like David Hayter isn't voicing Snake this time. I don't think people will be happy about this.

Traded in my (unbeknownst to them...) defunct 360 for this and saved the rest in credit. I was never one for turn-based strategies games, the genre is very unfamiliar to me. But I am loving every minute of this. There's no reason a 3DS owner shouldn't own this. It's pretty fantastic. Unless you're broke, that's a forgivable excuse.

I know 42 is always the first number in an unseeded rand() random number generator function in C++. Maybe that's the reference? Maybe? ...maybe?

Damn, nice little shopping spree. Hopefully you'll enjoy the console. I sure do, even if I'm stuck with the same 3 games. Whatever, Mario Kart's still fun. Online is great, too. Be sure to give out that friend code when it arrives.

Looks like a 3DS XL model, too. First one I've seen in a special edition version.

Seattle, London. Same thing, right?

You're funny.

The handles and sticks look like the old Dual-Analog controllers from the original PS. To those who never used that particular controller, it was probably the best ergonomic controller they made. If it's anything like that, that's pretty damn appealing. I also hope the sticks have better tension and higher force...threshold? Whatever the technical term is for the force to activate the click.

But will it have Giant Enemy Crab?

It has also been rumored that some of their handheld devices, in fact, print money. I've yet to see confirmation.

LP: If you're ever up for a game, let me know. I have too much free time on my hands. Gotta do something about that... Steam ID's unstableimp.

Started on Borderlands 2 for PC. Plenty of fun, but I feel like I'm missing out playing solo.
