Coming this year: Skin!

That's the essence of Half-Life right there - it feels like you can interact with the world they've set up, but it's actually just a cutscene.

Putting aside the games they were part of and looking at the athletic prowess on display, yes, this is a better catch. WAY better.

I'm still hoping there turns out to be some kind of deal for the last-gen hardware beyond the cheap-ish basic 360. Restocking after a theft is annoying enough without having to pay full price.

I'm kinda tempted to start at the beginning with Dragon Age, but BioWare's traditional model of RPG combat, as begun with the Baldur's Gate games, is a crime against humanity.

Y'know, as an Eagles fan I initially wasn't that keen on living in the DC metro area, but I'm coming to enjoy the experience.

That animal is definitely more intelligent than your median ursine.

You say it was "the way he deserved" and yet that looked nothing like an HBP to the nuts.

If you told me that "Clayton Kershaw" and "Madison Bumgarner" were the names of people who played in 1880 I'd probably believe you, too.

Yeah, the sanctions totally fixed the culture at Penn State. Mission accomplished!

=1.

I think I missed the times people on Sarkeesian's side sent credible death threats to her critics.
