So did they add a scar to Erin's face just to see if anybody would notice in the inevitable MMO vs Single player debate that would come from the thread? Or did I miss something in a prior comic?

Ouch people. LILU ? Try Leeloo, or Leeloominaï Lekatariba Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat if you are feeling formal.

A note on point 13 Melee Dilemma. There are other ways to melee. Mainly you can stun an opponent by throwing a brick or glass bottle at them, then rush them and press the melee button. Joel will one hit kill them, using only one tick of the weapons durability. Throw by readying the bottle/brick...

Well you seem to be agreeing with me that it was all in her head, but if you specifically look at her hands, they are fine, whereas after she beat up link, her knuckles were cut and bleeding. The face is hard to tell, she may have actually gotten into a bar fight, but it also looks like she...

For those wondering, look in the last panel. There are no cuts and bruises. Looks to me like it was all in her head. She probably managed to stumble onto a bus, and she's been asleep on the bus while all this has been going on. Not sure if Little Erin is going to become a split personality as...

You must always be careful when stacking skill effects with gear. This was a known problem in the Fallout series, where you could essentially go past the maximum allowable effect and loop back to zero. Theoretical example: Stealth capped at 300%, you've leveled to 100, plus the max Stealth...

These games are available separately on Good Old Games (www.gog.com) right now. It has an excellant selection of games for digital download all for less than $10 each. And they have weekly sales, so you may be able to pick them up cheap if you are patient. Highly recommended site!

They slipped in a release date change at the end. It says 25-11-11 but all sites show November 1 as the current release date.

Alpha, Beta and Omega refer to personality types. The social enhancer influences these types in different ways, and you have to choose the right personality type when you activate the augmentation. When you are having a conversation with someone where the social enhancer can be used, the game...

I decided a long time ago that playing everything on the highest difficulty just to prove something to myself was a waste of time. No matter what difficulty setting you use, games are meant to be "won". So whether you play on easy or super nightmare, you will eventually beat the game. I have...

Just a quick note on this. These aren't actually random encounters, more of an unlabelled side-quest. These encounters are gangs that dominate each area in each chapter. Once you've wiped out enough groups of each gang (I think 5 groups) you will get a quest in your journal to wipe out the base...

Just a small point. You mention having a ton of money and nothing to spend it on. As the game progresses, vendors update their inventories, and more expensive and useful items are available for purchase. This is especially true if you have the Black Emporium DLC, which is basically a free add-on...

I guess I vote for Killers, since I've never heard of it. -Expendables I never saw due to the middling reviews. I suppose you could put in your 2 cents to lean me one way or the other. -Big Trouble in Little China I haven't seen since it originally came out on VHS, but I remember enjoying...

Very good quick review. Hit all the important points I would like to know to help me decide. You also saved me $60. I don't enjoy the multiplayer portion of most games, so it needs to have a strong single player component to get me to even try the MP. They were definitely over-hyping the...

For Tom's hardware, there are many articles explaining the elements of the system, and they put together some good comparisons of CPUs and graphics cards that show the best value at various price points: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-overclock,2772.html...
