I'll start my comment by saying that I am a fan of the substance in question here, but I absolutely cannot smoke and play video games. Not real games, anyway. I could sit and play Flower or Journey or something like that while high, sure. But those games don't offer real challenges. Smoking pot is good for passive…

Owen is right, man. Dependency on weed is for real. It's just the best kind of dependency. I mean, if you're going to be hooked on anything for one reason or another, it might as well be the trees.

Anyone ever see Big Fan? excellent and bizarre dramatic performance by him. It's worth a watch.

Yup. That just about sums it up. I think a good chunk of Gawker readers/commenters have reddit accounts. Some just think they're a little more special than the rest of us.

Still your fault. Not Kotaku's.

I couldn't agree with you more on this. No game is worth wasting your money on before you even know whether its going to be any good.

When you say order, I take it you mean pre-order, right? The thing about pre-ordering, is that you don't have to do it. And likely shouldn't do it. This review is nothing but helpful to you if you don't rush out and commit your money to a product that has yet to prove its quality. Unless there is some amazing…

Exactly what I was thinking as I played this game.

Yeah. In the demo there was a scene where they are all sitting around a campfire, cross-legged, and they just have these blade-like stump things where feet ought to be.

Terrific game. I lost my copy years ago before even finishing it, and would love to play it again. I still have my old memory card kicking around, so I could likely pick right back up where I left off however many years ago.

I don't understand. Do you think that every moron with a cell phone is suddenly going to have this wide-spread intellectual epiphany or something? It's "mobile gaming" as you put it. Which means it is for phones. Not dedicated gaming devices. Most people who own phones (see: most people) don't give two shits about…

Fran held up her hand to shade her eyes from the midday sun. Two newly launched ships were passing overhead, their contrails giving off that familiar green glow of an FTL ship headed for deep space. She returned her attention to the controls of the massive grain auger she was seated on. It was another sweltering-hot…

Well said, sir.

Funny how those episodes are connected. "Jose Chung's", "The Host" and "Humbug" remain some of my favorite episodes. You know, I've always wanted the Flukeman action figure.

Edmure would be presumably~SPOILER~shooting and missing his father's floating funeral pyre.

Why is there such a reliance on blue and yellow contrast on video game box art? I know that in this case, it can be justified that the blue is the sky, and the yellow represents the violence and turmoil that happens in the game. But others just do for no reason other than yellow and blue make a nice contrast.…

Yes. But my mind crosses GRRM and JRRT worlds and characters together more than It should.

Better to have seen it as a kid. It's nostalgic to watch, but not much else. As an adult, it would be a good idea to follow up watching it with the DVD special feature segment about how they did all of the cool practical effects. It really helps you appreciate the amount of love that went into the film's production.

I absolutely loved this game. In concept, in art direction, and in storytelling. It was fantastic. And the battle mechanics were unlike any other rpg I had ever played. Definitely one of my favorites.
