I really like the concept of EVE, and enjoyed playing it for a while, but it's just too damned complicated. I can't wrap my puny little brain around its mechanics. *Edit* - Yeah, when I played it was back in undergrad, and I would frequently select a new destination for my ship and then go to class while it autopiloted its way there.

I don't like it when games say "START button." It makes me feel like I'm being yelled at.

So... does this mean DA2 isn't selling as well as they'd hoped?

Ah, okay. I'm not ENTIRELY crazy!

That video was really familiar to me. I feel like maybe they took a video for the first Portal and just stuck different narration over it. I'm going to do some digging to find out. *Edit* - Okay, I can't find it, if it even existed, but the part that REALLY seemed familiar to me was the bullets filling up the inside of the turret, and then spilling out when they cut it in half. The whole thing seemed pretty familiar, but that was the part that made me go "I've definitely seen this before." Semi-relatedly, "That's 65% more bullet per bullet" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

BURNOUT PARADISE

Fallout: New Vegas.

That tonematrix thing is cool. I couldn't figure out how to save my song (if it's even possible) so I took a screenshot of the the configuration:

I wasn't sad about RDR because at the time my "gaming" PC was looking a little long in the tooth, so it couldn't have run that game anyway, but now that I've upgraded I am sad that LA Noire is only on console. It's especially odd to me when I watch the LA Noire dev videos talking about how they're pushing the boundaries of technology with their facial animations and digital actor performances, but they're doing it console-only. Sure the animation/expressiveness of the faces is amazing, but the modelling/texturing is really low; it looks like lumps of clay shaped roughly like a face. Imagine the kind of fidelity those faces could have on PC.

Yeah, Japanese stories often don't follow the same kind of progression that Westerners are accustomed to, you can see the effect in more than just video games. I honestly can't think of a game that I thought had a good story. Lots of games that had good story-modes, but that's an entirely different question.

Also there's the practical problem that women only lactate during/shortly after pregnancy, whereas dairy cows lactate all the time.

Oh yeah, I actually meant to end that by saying that you quickly recapture that lost credibility, it was just right at the beginning that I had a negative reaction to that comment. Overall it's a good article.

I wouldn't have any trouble drinking human-cow GM milk, though I would have a hard time if there were actual human milk from human breasts on the shelves.

Good article, though at the beginning you lose some credibility (at least with me) for saying that it's the same as walking into a store and taking something off the shelf. It may be just as morally unacceptable, but it's not "the same" any more than murder and rape are the same.

Suggestion: due to the month/day/year - day/month/year dichotomy across the Atlantic, maybe we should write out the date. For instance Chronixal at first I thought you were saying it expired on January 7, 2011 (the past), when actually it expires on August 1, 2011. You guys would have the same problem if I'd written out that date as 7/1/11. Something like 1/aug/11 or August 1, 2011 would be less confusing. Just a suggestion.

Tying it to difficulty is a really good idea, actually. I've always been more for underground lairs myself, though, so it doesn't really matter all that much to me personally one way or the other. That and the fact that I like how overhanging ramparts look anyway.

Honestly I think the only thing I didn't like about it was the end narration, but since it's only like 30 seconds of the movie I can overlook it.

RPGs, followed closely by action/action-adventure games (or whatever you'd call stuff like Assassin's Creed).

Saying "they're not terrorists" is not defending them. I haven't seen anyone defending Cerberus, just discussion of whether or not the word "terrorist" can be accurately applied to them.

lmao, at first I thought you were talking about this website and I was like "what the hell?" I had never heard of the other Weather Underground.

Your initial post makes it sound like terrorist organizations are some G.I. Joe villains. Cerberus uses radical and terrorist means to achieve whatever goal they have set. Can you name a single act of Cerberus' that meets that definition, though? Sure they're trying to advance human interests at the expense of other races, but that doesn't make them terrorists. I can't think of they've done that would "demoralize a civilian population" so they could "use its discontent as leverage" on anyone.

Yeah, that's definitely not Black and White, it's one of the GBA ones.

I thought black and white were 3D.

Yeah, I think I might have to third Pokemon. Which game is that screen from, btw?
