Man, I read four pages of this and nobody has said what this Patcher is. Isn't he Rob Courdreys character on The Office? Duh, he's an idiot! But seriously what teh is a Patcher, Michael?

You don't spell iPhone "right" for the whole article, making it look like Lphone in this sans serif font from escapistmagazine.com but then you worry about getting " Mr. AahH!!" right? DOH! Hope this wasn't repeated above, didn't read any comments.

Fun article, loved the commentary on various games implementations of sanity at the end. One thing tripped me up early in though. The phrase "most of us..." in reference to Atheists and Agnostics. Although I'm with you on the opinion the fact is that Atheists and Agnostics combined make up...

Well I'll settle for 1/4th light speed and 80 years then. =(

I'm surprised you didn't bring up how equally problematic it is simply accelerating TO the speed of light let alone FASTER than the speed of light. Wormholes would be great! Or someway to warp reality around a space so as to change the "rules" regarding near, or faster than, light speed...

Bondage Discipline Sadism Masochism, sometimes Dominance and Submission in the middle and then somehow still Sadism Masochism on the end anymore. BDSM lifestyle folks are generally very accepting people so they try to accommodate everyone even with their acronym! Some quick definitions as...

Rentals? Japanese version is easier?? /facepal... well wait lets see if you actually come back with some proof. I think most people who actually lived through those eras recall that Japanese versions were pretty much universally harder. "Any given NES or SNES GAME..." (Also, NTSC is the...

In the poll, is it "none geeks" or "non geeks?"

Misery loves company so we all get to read a letter from Chris E? Thanks? Ha. Are we to imply from the last bit that mentioning Majora's Mask is Chris E level of poor? I'd disagree with that assessment, personally. I really enjoyed it as a "twisted tales" sort of take on Zelda games with...

Just plain brutal for me. I hit the part about SMB2 vs. Doki Doki Panic and my eyes just glaze over and I practically close the page. Such an old topic and only surpassed in it's weird "unable to just up and die please" power by the Final Fantasy 2 and 3 vs. IV, IVe and VI debacle. At least...

The real interesting part to me was that a long rant about difficulty with some not-so-blatant bragging about gaming skills with an emphasis on how most folks could probably "do it" if they "stuck with it" is then followed up with talk about FSG:The Hiatus wherein you basically say the same...

I'd like to suggest not worrying about SPOILERS when doing any kind of "in-depth" article on video games, or any topic for that matter. It's so limiting as to complete neuter the discussion on had, like trying to do an article on sex and having to use childish words like "pee pee" or "wee wee."...

A bit old, I know, but I wanted to quickly address the topic and use of "tropes" in this article and some of the comments. Most importantly, tropes are not inherently good or bad. A trope is just a pattern. An individual trope may be perceived as good or bad, boring or exciting or whatever...

I dunno, I've liked every extra punctuation thus far excepting this one. It just read like angry, angsty, teen-age-y bitter dregs on the topics of creativity and everyone-is-stupid whining. Speaking in absolutes just bugs me I guess.
