This was an excellent review with a novel approach: getting involved in the psychological and emotional content of FFVIII rather than merely the mechanics or surface 'narrative elements'. Bravo, sir (or madame). I wish there were more like you!

Zerg, clearly. Especially when you factor in time. They're literally an endless torrent of chitinous horrors, only able to be defeated by....well: You done good, Orky Man. You done good.

It's difficult to console without being dishonest: most of your emotions are very much legitimate and, in fact, have no easy answers. I'm entering my Junior year of University and I know exactly the kind of anxiety and ennui you're referencing. My favorite suggestion on this thread so far is the...

""We've done a lot of research about what people liked about Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2 and other games too," said Silverman. "What they like about Gears of War, Assassin's Creed, Halo, Call of Duty and lots of RPG games, too ... We've looked at all these games to see what's resonating and...

The Hidden Cancer Cure Published by Steven Novella under Cancer Comments: 30 Last week David Gorski wrote a excellent post about why we have not yet cured cancer. It turns out, cancer is a category of many individual diseases that are very challenging to treat. We have made steady progress...

Funniest option? "You are going to die SCREAMING like your sister nine months from now as she gives birth to my BASTARD CHILD!" Best option? "If I were a proper brother-captain, I would know the prayer we are supposed to say. But I think you all know what we have to do. We do not know...

The title alone is hilarious, but I'm actually a really big fan of this initiative. I'm all for humor, but the census is a game played for keeps and it has serious impacts on policy and fund allocation. Ladies and gents, when asked about your religious affiliation, please, please be honest...

/amusement. Well that's some fun shorthand for intellectual cowardice. Why critically engage with arguments when we can stick our fingers in our ears and go "LA DA LA DEE LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" ?

Easy. In Fallout 3 to get the "Black Widow" perk (which is vastly superior to Lady Killer as most of your opponents are male) you have to be female. Hence, I now roam the wastes as a level 30 max-skill max-special best-perk Demigod feared by all and known by the blood-chilling moniker "Molly".

Kratos. Loves Anime.

/skepticism. I question your objectivity. I play pretty much only 360 and PC [I don't own PS3, though I've used the system at friends houses many times], but I think most of the time in cross-platform games the PS3 has the best graphical display. The problem with DAII is it looks almost ported...

Does anyone else notice that the whole narrative of Dead Space is centered around a clingy ex-girlfriend? Or am I just projecting? I feel like Isaac needs this snippet of dialog: "Isaac... make us whole again." "No, Nicole. I will not. Quite frankly you are the creepiest fucking...

The next time you hear someone preface a phrase with "As a mother/father..." or end it with "think of the children!" I want you to fucking punch them in their censorship-loving proto-fascistic face. And yeah, that's a synecdoche. Not that those assholes would know considering the fact they...

I've got this image of a broken, seared Big Ben standing defiantly in the sky surrounded by irradiated rubble..........damn. Blew my post-apocalyptic load everywhere. SOMEONE SEND THIS TO BETHESDA.

No, I am not trolling. Also, "get a life"? By the Golden Throne that must be a joke. Look, I think that phrase is flatly ridiculous anyway (people have different ideas of recreation, if someone is happy correcting grammar or watching an inordinate amount of movies, let them be. No need for...
