    David Cage's place in the game industry (Aftermath of Beyond: Two Souls)

    Nah, the numerical scores the game is getting is completely justified. 10-12 playthough for 65 bucks is steep, in addition to the fact that the game railroads you harder than indigo prophecy.

    David Cage's place in the game industry (Aftermath of Beyond: Two Souls)

    So I just finished Beyond Two Souls and I've got to say it was a pretty damn interesting story. Cage has definitely sacrificed choice for coherency in this one. Anyways this thread is not about my review of Beyond Two Souls, but my thoughts on the point that the gaming industry is def. where...

    David Cage is one of the worst writers in the industry

    Huh, when did I ever say that Indigo Prophecy was being innovative, or something of the nature? All I meant by it was that Indigo Prophecy was one of the few games to foray into the cinematic movie angle. As in it was formally advertised as an interactive movie experience in the early 2000's...

    How Many Children Could You Fend Off?

    What do you mean fend off? Like going all out on them, or just politely throwing them into the nearest wall? I would say it depends entirely on the person's stamina to chuck kids, and of caliber of their dislike for them. In my case the test said it was 18, damn I'm a lightweight

    David Cage is one of the worst writers in the industry

    I'm not sure I understand, let me reiterate my statement. I was pointing out that Indigo Prophecy should get some breathing room from scrutiny because it was the one of the first games to be a collection of cinematics. With QTEs as the main method of controlling the action on screen. i.e...

    David Cage is one of the worst writers in the industry

    I was referring to the blending of cinematic narrative with QTEs

    Persona 3: best places in town?

    If you want to improve your charisma, go to the coffee shop. Doing it at every opportunity day and night will max it out in 3 or so months. Oh yeah, you can go to the mall at night time, you're not locked in the dorm.

    I have a question for Lovecraft fans

    Shadow over innsmouth Call of Cthulhu Pickman's model (DO IT!) The Mountains of Madness. was a bit too hoped up on scientific descriptions. The Dreams in the Witchhouse (pretty disturbing) edit: ignore 1 and 2 since you've read it.

    David Cage is one of the worst writers in the industry

    The amount of pure hate Cage gets from some people is beyond me i.e. the recent Two Best Friends playthough is a good example. Indigo Prophecy had problems, I'm not going to defend the fact that it loses coherency a third of the way through. But you have to take a two or three in things in...

    Poll: Which Spider-Man movie series do you prefer?

    Duuuuuude That soundtrack is amazing.......... OT: I like the Raimi movies, nostalgia is the factor since it was the very first movie I saw in the U.S. when I was a kid.

    Protection of the stupid. (Workplace Health And Safety)

    Last post, and I promise I'll stop, it's my assumption that she put the cup in between her thighs, like a vice grip. You know to keep the cup steady while she poured stuff into it. But because it was flimsy the cup couldn't hold itself together and thus split. I don't think she was doing a...

    Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Review - Squeals and Fury

    Well you're in luck there is a pretty damn good conclusion waiting for you. You might have to replay the game once more, or visit the forums to get the full gist of it.

    Protection of the stupid. (Workplace Health And Safety)

    The context or the point, if you will, that you are missing is that coffee by and large is not supposed to inflict third degree burns. Society *did not associate hot coffee with third degree burns. When somebody orders a cup of joe and it's hot. A normal person would assume that if they get...

    Protection of the stupid. (Workplace Health And Safety)

    It's the context that you are missing. A cup of hot coffee that inflicts third degree burns upon impact is not the same as licking a knife. Hell it's strange but you know what's weird boiling oil doesn't even burn that fast, and people at least try to watch out for that.

    Motivation,Exams and Life

    Well I overcame it because well, homeless people. I realized that I had the dream life. Somebody paying for my food, clothes, shelter. The least I could do well, is you know apply myself in school. I will warn you though just like the poster above me. College is a lot different from high...
