    Escape to the Movies: Ender's Game

    One of the reasons I am hesitant to see the movie is that is pretty much logistically impossible to preserve this one key point from the book. In the book, Ender was six years old when he first entered the battle school and he is skipped ahead a few grades so he can enter the command school at...

    The Last Guardian

    Quiet you fool! Do you want them to think that they now can rely on demos to sell not one, but two systems. We'll reach critical hype mass within a week! In all seriousness though I would have really liked to play it Team Ico definitively earns my trust in the "when it's finished" release...

    Ni no Kuni Wonders How Far You'll Go

    I don't know about anyone else, but I got the wizard edition and have not gotten any shipping email yet.

    Song Covers that are better then the original?

    This is just because I'm more into rock than jazz but Foo Fighter's cover of Baker Street in easily one of my favorite songs. The original is by Gerry Rafferty.

    I've Become Everything I've Ever Hated.

    It's alright, I don't even follow the brewing instructions I just open teabag pour the leaves into a Voss bottle and pour boiling water over it. I couldn't take our ps3 to the dorm so I got steam on my laptop and used the portal 2 code. Then the humble bundles started... and after the Summer...

    Mary Sues! *Shakes fist*

    I never really thought of him as a Mary Sue (at least in the books I've read, 1-6). He seems to at least stick mainly to being the Chessmaster, planning and using the rules of his verse in improvising. In order to be a blatant Mary Sue you'd have to combine him and his body guard into one...

    2K: New Genres Impossible Without Photorealism

    Now I grew up with the original Playstation and the Gameboy so I may have been too late for the things I'm thinking of, but before games even did things like FFVII weren't there also games that literally used live action footage for cutscenes? If you really want your photorealism so much why...

    Games that defeated you.

    Another Dead Space 2 example here. I did a second playthrough on the first game to get the "One gun" trophy (use only the plasma cutter the entire game). I had a surprisingly good time with it so when I got the second one I made my first playthrough a One Gun run on Zealot, the hard...

    Describe your day with a haiku

    Let us not dissuade, haikus merely make events seem more important. Captcha announces, "Lo and behold." Clearly it has seen genius.

    Describe your day with a haiku

    Must note pleasantness, of seeing no posts that are, too long; didn't read. Back to the OT, Michigan has repealed, bans on fireworks. If not good enough, the new store near me has BOGO, hope no one needs sleep. But if that's too short, many awesome Humble Bundles, gave me a...

    The most frivolous thing you can do with $100 billion

    Yes, frivolous but good. I would use my new found wealth to resurrect awesome scripts and projects from development hell [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DevelopmentHell]. First on the list would be Harlon Ellison's I, Robot script.

    Best Bargin-bin games you've played.

    Well alternatively you could decide that you'll simply set the slider all the way to charity and wait to test the quality of the games before sending any money to the devs or the humble bundle people. Though purchasing your way does encourage them to release the odd good indie game as you say. I...

    Assumptions you hate.

    He probably meant to say something along the lines of since he doesn't like germs more than other people, causing him to act a little similar to a germaphobe, he must be afraid of germs. An analogy might be I don't like spiders and would rather someone else take them outside, so I must be...

    You are given a box... inside that box is ANY item from ANY game... What do you hope it will be?

    First a Portal or Gravity gun, but then a gummi ship, it's a spaceship, with unlimited fuel and strong enough to survive many, many hits and crashes while still being made of elastic blocks that need no machinery to combine into a ship. Honestly, what's not to like? Plus it's easy to drive, no...
