My general approach to MMOs is that they're only going to improve with time, and that it's not until the first few updates are out that the devs have really gotten what they wanted into the game. I can only assume that Destiny is going to be the same, especially given that Bungie as a studio...

I'd say give the Game of Thrones RPG a shot. It's got a slow start, and it's clunky and rough around the edges, with VO that's sometimes shoddy and minor bugs. But the game really picks up once you get past the first few sections and the story definitely picks up as well. It has a combat...

It's interesting to see how different perspectives can be. I primarily play RPGs (though I enjoy games in other genres as well) and for me all of the things that were groundbreaking for him were standard, run-of-the-mill for me. In fact, FO3 had even less reactivity than what I'd like in a...

But the trinity is still maintained, no? Fighting beats dark, dark beats psychic, psychic beats fighting. The net effect remains the same, even with the immunity. It's not like you'd use fire against water, so it's not so important that psychic has no effect on dark because people would just...

Interesting they've gone with the fighting/psychic/dark secondary type advantages. Here's hoping that the next generation will actually change the starter types entirely and go with those instead of fire/water/grass. I am a little disappointed that they've matched them so that the primary...

People throw around pretentious all the time, just because they think "oh this is trying to be artsy" or "oh this story is supposed to be deep but I don't like it" and somehow they think that that makes the game pretentious. No, no it doesn't. If the game espouses its superiority to other...

People really do worry about this way more than they should. My parents told me when I was really young because my mom's an OB/GYN and figured her kids should know the truth rather than make up stupid stories. So I already knew the details by the time other kids were figuring it out or being...

This is very good advice and I second it. A lot of drinks also have acquired tastes, and alcohol in general takes getting used to. So I'd say try different things, see what you like, and every once in a while go back to old things you didn't like before. Your tastes will change as you get...

If it was just a one-time thing and isn't something you do regularly I don't think you need to worry about it. What you're feeling is likely the after-effects of a hangover. My first time getting really drunk was on my 21st birthday, and all of my older friends took me out. As you can...

I got "Aerokinetic Constructs" which sounds basically like the Green Lantern's powers, only with air. Which definitely works for me, it's a pretty darn useful ability. So I'd go with something loose and flowing that let me easily move about, like some loose-flowing robes or something. Or...

Obviously I can't say for sure, but I think I would. The thing is, every single person that he goes on to kill after that point, I could have prevented. All the innocents dead, all the billions in property damage, all the criminals funded, all the victims who suffer by losing loved ones or who...

Wow, I had no idea they were doing a remake of Oldboy. That's going to be...interesting, to say the least. I wonder if they're going to keep the twist ending with the big reveals? I can't tell how well those would go over with here in the US. Also, definitely looking forward to Elysium and...

Best of luck to you, Susan! Always enjoyed reading your work here, and I wish you all the best in your future adventures.

This is all well and good, but you have to consider that we are not the majority of people purchasing the big titles like Halo, CoD, or Assassin's Creed. The huge franchises that stagnate and get condemned for being repetitive still get their huge numbers because a lot of the people buying them...

You've got to be kidding. BofA regularly screws over its customers and has made financial decisions that have been atrocious to its customers. Comcast is part of an oligopoly and keeps regions of the US back in its internet capability because they're too unwilling to dip into their profit...
