I thought about it for two seconds and realized the horror. Unless they had some of this stuff planned already and were having the stretch goals as extra incentive for more money. Considering Mega Man 10 had a Challenge Mode, I don't see why they wouldn't have already put some thought into it.

That's what I was thinking before, but perhaps the game could launch sooner in 2014. Either way, if I were to get it on console, it would probably be Wii U. I don't see myself personally using my PS3 with a PS4, unless there's still support for the platform given that the PS4 can't play PS3 games.

Current-gen console stretch goal has been met, so it looks like Mighty No. 9 is going to be multi-platform. Just a hunch, but we might see a lot more donations if its confirmed that that game will be heading to consoles now. Not sure if, in two weeks, they'll make it to $3.3 million for PS4 and Xbone, but everything else is pure gravy. Challenge Mode, extra final stage and boss, and online co-op challenge mode. There's room for some other goals, so who knows what might pop up.

I'm hoping, in time, that NA PS+ will be seeing these games as well. Off the top of my head I know Sleeping Dogs and Vanquish were available for free on the EU side before they arrived to NA members. For now there's Ico this week, which I think makes an excellent free game.

EU PS+ for October For anyone who hasn't played Far Cry 3 yet, it's a fun game that I thought was worth $30, but now it'll be free to EU PS+ members. What I'm truly jealous of is that Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen will also be free! I've already stated how disappointed I was that the extra content and fixes were only available in a new retail game, but at least someone out there will soon be getting all that content FREE.

Eh, I tend to see mimicking an action as more like reenacting the exact action. Normally I go with imitate, like an "imitation," but I understand you now. Originally I thought you meant that, though it was waterbending, it acted exactly like energybending.

Ditto, though I have an exception. I tend to prefer keeping a series on the same format, though I'll shy away from that if there's clearly a difference in production by either studio and/or time from original series.

Well, as of now, we don't know if Unaloq can necessarily control Spirits. He makes water spirals that have an effect of changing the Spirit's alignment/attribute. Kind of a silly comparison, but it might end up like the Heartless in Kingdom Hearts. Maybe Unaloq will play out to be the central antagonist* who uses Dark Spirits to assert his dominance, but in the end the Dark Spirits were in more control over him than Unaloq realized. And Amon's/Noatak's bloodbending only manipulated an individual's chi pathways, not energy/chi itself. It easily had a similar appearance to energybending, but not the same function. Still, it was ultimately "po-tay-to, po-tah-to," where the underlying difference is that technically those affected still had their bending, but couldn't use it because of the damage done to their chi pathways. *spoiler content EDIT: Ah dammit, Studio Pierrot is making some mistakes. Didn't catch this last episode, but someone posted a screenshot of the near end where the credits begin to roll. Studio Mir, the ones behind Book 1 and will be working on Book 3 and 4, did do quality control. Thing is, I'm not sure how much they got around too.

Is what Unaloq doing considered "spiritbending?" It seems like a single waterbending technique that changes the Spirit's attribute and not much else. Unless he displays more control over them, I'd like to think maybe the other bending arts have a spirit technique. You know, or otherwise I'm gonna have to call waterbending OP! Water, ice, blood, plants, healing, and now spirits? Pfft...

If you do stealth, you'll end up with a lot of ammo. I found myself rarely thinking I needed more ammo, though I also balanced my ammo count between weapons. It came down to keeping a good stock on shivs and always keeping a bottle or brick on me. I'm sure anyone who took a more action approach found themselves more reliant on finding ammo, though because enemies could drop ammo too, I don't think it was as desperate as it was made out to be. Well, depending on your difficulty level that is because it does drastically alter how you can play.

Ethan supplied original source, which was removed. At least CrowKnow gave a URL link to the video on LiveLeak, but here it is re-uploaded to YouTube for anyone who hasn't see it yet. All is not lost!

Frequently debated and heavily heated, the question of whether interactive video entertainments are... art? Interacters and non-Interacters weigh-in on this special edition of Interactive Video Entertainment Network. Afterwards, stay tuned for our panel of reviewers who will name their Interactive Video Entertainment of the Year.

Leaked video of some kid, hell if anyone knows who, which was re-uploaded by others because this kid's video gives us a look at the Xbox One dashboard. TL:DW Windows 8 for Xbox One.

Alright, finished watching the first two episodes!

You guys got me worrying! I'm waiting later tonight to watch the two episodes on Nick.com where I'll run an HDMI cable from my laptop to the HDTV so others can watch too. The only thing I've gathered with a passing glance is that people seem to like where Jinora is going, like both in character and sub-plot.

First off, I'm not in favor of renaming video games to something else. It's not outdated when the basis of video games has stayed the same over decades with the dozen or so genres that are categorized under the medium. I'm not a fan of Dear Esther, but I'm not going to fight tooth and nail over its "game" classification. Rather than trying to reinvent video games, we add a new genre? How about "Narrative?" Typically games are not categorized by the narrative, but when the sole intent is to tell one, then perhaps this can be. Think about it: A genre to tell a narrative with an interactive attribute, whether that is controlling a character, camera, or the direction. Sounds like a video game still to you? Yeah, because it still is, but it takes a different direction. There are already Visual Novel games, and even something like a Dating Simulator is heavily narative based. Sure there are challenges, but I'm not going to be striving for "AAA Rank," a faster time, or other more challenge oriented attributes. Video games have been around for a long time, but as technology and ideas evolve, why can't we add something new? Rather than going into a raging froth over the interpretation of video games, clashing with different prespectives and expectations of what each user wants out of their video game, we realize that there's not going to be a singular view or preference. Much like gamers/users have different tastes in genres, there's going to be different ideas and direction of where video games have been and where they should go. I stand by that video games can be art. Thing is, I find video games that I interpret to be art are ones that didn't have the sole intent to become art. I think it's a horrendous mistake when your intent is to try and mimic another medium when you have to come to the realization that video games (or another) are their own. There's no "same level," especially when it comes to the differences of movies and novels. Otherwise we wouldn't have adaptations between the two and the discussions of which was better. Actually, include television in that, or you know, add video games too. We have adaptions of video games into movies, or into novels. We have television adaptions of novels and movies, and then there are novel adaptions of movies. Oh, wait, there's also comic books. Well, we have adaptions into... I probably don't need to go on, right? Good, now maybe I can find a good Choose Your Own Adventure book. Not like those went out of style.

I was hoping there was going to be an encore either later tonight or tomorrow, but doesn't look like it. I had to work tonight and my shift ended right when the premiere did. I've found a few online, but at this point I'll wait until tomorrow when I'm rested and ready to take in an hour of premiere goodness. I do wonder though if Nick would eventually upload the episode online like with Book 1.

Are you implying Mewtwo has never looked like a retarded Frieza? C'mon, that's silly. That was half the fun of him... it... thing.

Will anyone care if I post Pokemon news? I dunno, But for Wednesday, major news dump before launch. Editing character appearance, Stage 1 evolutions for new starters, some new Pokemon, revisions to Type chart factoring the new Fairy-type, and how Mewtwo has two Mega evolutions depending on the game version. The one we've seen before is Mewtwonite Y, and the new one (which looks way better) is Mewtwonite X.

I get the impression it doesn't matter, in any sense, which you play first. I know Amnesia: The Dark Descent was toted as a supremely horror filled game, but it's not really scary. It'll creep you out, and it plays well for a game. It just seems A Machine for Pigs is a lot more narrative based and won't give you the same feeling as Dark Descent. I'm waiting for it to become cheaper, because while I'm sure it's fine, it's not invoking the desire for me to jump in a collect journal pages.

Hey, guys, um... TL;DW THIS FRIDAY 7/6C! But you should really watch the new trailer.
