Like a lot of the respondents in this thread I think that predatory dinosaurs, particularly raptors and some small allosaurs, look better with conservatively coloured feathers than with scaly dragon skin. I also think that skirts can work (visually) well as part of a combat uniform, that static...

This . . . all of this . . . is the smartest thing I have heard anyone say about this fiasco. (Including Bob's video, while there's nothing incorrect in it, it doesn't really address the direct cause of the backlash, that being the kickstarter to make a non-scholarly internet video. Heck, Bob...

I'm with you there, even though I never played ME 1 (PS3 gamer). With ME2, I found that the narrative quality ranged from a good Star Trek TNG episode to generic action in space, and it seems that they're focusing on the latter in this next one, though the demo's female Krogan gave me hope. The...

I agree that Bioware does the death scenes (for the record I was also talking about the boy in the demo) with a good amount of tact - I probably should have made it clear that I was not offended on any kind of moral level. My problem simply from a literature standpoint, for lack of a better...

What pains me about this is that anyone who's not familiar with the series is going to assume that this is just another game where you shoot aliens - cause that's what it looks like. All they had to do was show a snippet of anything in outer-space, or show Garrus as part of the ground force...

Oh god. I remember seeing that for one reason and one reason only: to see what locations might be made into maps for SW: Battlefront 3. At the time, I really just saw it as Battlefront The Movie, and from that point of view there were a few things I liked, namely the vertical combat sequence...

"Dead or Alive zombie on the road" THAT WORKS TOO WELL "Incomprehensible dungeon saga" this seems like it could apply to a lot of games

It seems to me that in almost every game where different play-styles are available, from WoW to COD, the options for class, load-out or kit can be traced back to the four groups outlined in dungeons an dragons; the high-damage striker, the tank-like defender, the supportive leader, or the...

Are you sure that "girl" wasn't Ian or Anthony, cause this seems on par than their usuall subject matter. :p OT: My knowledge of fan-fiction is mostly limited to what I've seen from "Master-Peice Fan-fic theater," (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/bt/the-sage/fanfic-theatre) and the various...

Despite doing the vast majority of my gaming on console, and what little PC gaming I do on a netbook, I voted superior. Why? Stuff's cheaper on Steam, mods are basically free DLC that's often more creative than the real thing, online play generally has more players, and a good rig will usually...

Pre-ordered Battlefield 3, but I don't plan on buying any single player games until the end of term (university). At some point, though, I will be playing Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, maybe Skyward Sword, as well as catching up on previous releases, (most notably Ico/Shadow of the Collosus.

I'm in the same boat as you, man. I still remeber when Daniel would put a disclamer that said he based the format on Zero Punctuation. Also, following them onto PATV led me to find the continuation of ENN, which has been renamed Checkpoint. I would recommend that all LLR fans check it out.

God, I wish I could get this.(Along with any number of PC mods) I'm a member of the small minority that really likes the darker vision of LOZ set forward by Twilight Princess, so even though I'm usually not a fan of RTS, I would download this in a heartbeat just to see the sort of massive...

I can't really vote for either; there are some specific animes I like, but overall there are more aspects of the genre I dislike (i.e. surrealism, hyperactive editing, general bizareness) than aspects I do like (i.e. unapologetic violence, highly expresive animation).

Oh. Sorry. :(
