I heard RE: Your Brains on the Otaku Generation podcast and loved it, so I looked him up and found his site, where you can listen to most of his stuff. Then Portal came along and I was very happy to discover that the awesome Still Alive was his.

Yeah, it's not like the inclusion of a brothel is anything new, certainly in a fantasy RPG. I'd say I'm all for it if it serves to further establish a believable world, but of course it can't be denied that there's a bit of a gimmick there. I'm also for it if it's integrated in the overall...

That is such a retarded move if it's true. Half of Futurama's appeal is the voice actors' brilliant work, how can you replace people like John DiMaggio, Billy West and Maurice LaMarche? If nothing else, it's good to confirm you can count on FOX to shoot itself in the foot every time. Suffice to...

Dude, I friggin' dreaded to look inside the washing machine, I actually felt real, palpable dread at that point! Having just read the newspaper clipping, and watching the washing machine porthole open, I actually groaned out loud, and it wasn't because I was expecting it or because I felt it was...

I just mentioned this elsewhere in this forum, but the Ocean View Hotel sequence in V:tM - Bloodlines was one of the creepiest and most disturbing moments I've had in a game, just because it did that "show, don't tell" thing so well. It let you fill in the blanks yourself, and that's usually...

Unless Akavir decides to invade again, I'd say Cyrodiil is gonna keep the top spot for a while yet, just in terms of numbers and influence, they've got occupying armies in almost every province of the Empire for crissakes.

There are loads of games I wish I could see again with new eyes, The Secret of Monkey Island and Morrowind especially come to mind, the former for the top-notch script and the brilliant puzzles, and the latter just for the joy to explore this world again from the very beginning - then again, it...

Since you're paying in pounds, I'd say you're halfway OK. Steam is definitely a great service, it works well and it's much more convenient as a digital store than, say, the Games For Windows service. Plus, its bundles and special offers are usually pretty good value for money. It's when you're...

Bruce Dickinson should never be questioned, after all. Totally unlikely, but a Clutch game would rule sooo damn hard! They should at least try and get a song-pack from those guys!

Heh, you're lucky you don't live in Greece, where mispronunciations of English (and related terms) abound. Anime in particular is usually pronounced "An-EE-m" here, which is way stupider than anything your friend could have come up with.

Is it gonna be too douchey of me if I say, "not with a bang, but with a whimper"? ... Yeah, I suppose it is. So, zombie apocalypse for me too, please!

Yeesh, some vengeful people on this thread! I tried to mostly knock them over, it killed me when they went, "I don't blame you", or some such comment. But I did drop one of them on another one, so I could get the achievement :P

Nah. Trust me, I would've noticed. :P Maybe you were somehow thinking of Sophitia or Cassandra from the SoulEdge/Calibur games? Ryu is the first character I mastered way back when I was playing SFII: The World Warrior in the arcades. He's been a classic for me ever since. Other faves include...

Of which, of course, it will always need more. Looking forward to: - Bioware's new stuff, especially Dragon Age and hopefully some more of Mass Effect 2. - Brutal Legend, as I'll never get tired of Tim Schafer getting so much hype. - Heavy Rain, 'cause I'm curious to see what, if anything...

It's certainly a fantastic film, one of the best I've seen in the past few months. But yeah, you make a very good point on games and movies being fundamentally different media, despite the similarities they share. There are plenty of games out there that can move you and make an impact, just...
