Maybe because deciding one's opinion of the game isn't just a series of check boxes.
Simply because a game is quirky or zany has no bearing on the quality.
Really good episode Bob, lots to think about here.
Definitely agree that "Nerd culture" has been looking at itself and its past with rose tinted glasses. We're not so much better, as we are different. Our level of discourse definitely proves we're not as enlightened as we like to think we are.
I think the awful sequels have ruined this one's reputation quite a bit.
I really enjoyed it, it's a big dumb action movie of the highest order, and I didn't feel like I wasted my money and time in the theater.
I don't think a recognizable melody is really necessary to make a game score great. It all depends on the function the music is trying to have.
And I will have to disagree that there aren't any good melodies anymore. Halo, Mass Effect, Uncharted, Elder Scrolls and more all have great scores...
I think that's what Stark's early conversation with Rhodes was for. Rhodes indicated that the US government was hesitant to ask for Iron Man's help because that could interfere with potential SHIELD (global) work.

You could probably get a current gen console for pretty cheap nowadays. It's really up to the exclusives as far as which one to buy. I have a higher opinion than most on Halo and Gears of War, look those up and if they tickle your fancy get a 360. PS3 has the Uncharted series, which is pretty...
Gaming culture as a whole is having some serious issues right now. Just look at any gaming site/forum and you'll see people yelling at each other over basically anything. There's very little actual discussion.
As far as the games themselves, I'd like story and gameplay to line up better...
The PC vs. Console fights are obnoxious to say the least. Yes, PCs are more powerful than consoles, everybody knows that.
Also, the "they dumbed it down for the casuals" stuff has gotten beyond old.
ME2 definitely took some steps in the wrong direction, especially in the narrative.
What little plot there actually was wasn't very compelling, the Collectors being by far the weakest villian in the series. They did NOTHING with the Shepard resurrection, and overloaded with way too many new...
It's totally cool to have as a hobby, I don't make the "creepy" generalization of the writers.
BUT, 95% of it is total crap, and I don't have the patience to sift through it all to find the good stuff most of the time.
