He lowered his head not his entire body. He ‘attacked’ with the crown of his helmet. Players are taught to see what they are hitting with the idea that you are supposed to hit with the facemask of your helmet and not the crown of it if you can’t get a shoulder on him first.

Honestly, that is kind of true. What you hope and what you expect are 2 different things. A lot of people don’t even do ‘just enough.’ Doesn’t mean Paterno deserves a medal just that he is not exactly an outlier.

It wasn’t failing on the PS2. It simply sold more on the PSP at the time and they ran with it. And one of those console retry attempts never left Japan. And the thing is, they haven’t been increasing sales in recent years. I think the best selling game in the franchise is still Portable 3rd for the PSP from 6 years…

I didn’t find Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom all that special. It was OK for a bit but that is kind of where my mind is leaning with regard to this game as well.

Exactly. I have watched it twice. Once in the theater, again on TV randomly. I didn’t really need to see it on TV and don’t really feel like watching it again but I don’t at all regret seeing that first time. The storyline is passable enough to get sucked into the visuals and I walked out happy.

Which is why it is sometimes nice when they have a ‘making of’ video to accompany the photos like this one has. Not only does it show you the work they put into it but also how it looks on video walking around.

And people are allowed to say they don’t like something. He never said what the artist should have drawn, only that he was disappointed about what he did draw. I mean, this is art; not exactly the kind of topic where people are expected to keep their criticisms to themselves.

That hit was one of those plays that could have gone either way

You can’t hit a defenseless player in the head. However you want to describe the mechanics of this hit, that is the simple description of what happened. Whether he launched himself or lead with the crown of his helmet or his shoulder or initiated helmet to helmet contact or it was all an accident, the defender still…

I think men will stop saying it when the targets of sexual assaults stop leaning so HEAVILY towards women. The fact is, from a position of personal introspection, a man is simply more scared of the likelihood of something like this happening to the women in his life than to himself and that is where their thoughts…

It is a bit strange, though, the whole thing. I mean, right off the bat, the issues he is protesting about have been a major point of contention in this country for a little bit now. He isn’t shining a light on anything we haven’t heard and are talking about right now. He also isn’t using his newly created platform to…

It is a sequel that stands on its own (which is the same thing as saying it is a game that stands on its own). Not exactly a rarity in media. You don’t have to know or care about the characters they brought in from Chrono Trigger to appreciate this game or understand what it happening at a base level.

They did create a great game that could stand on its own. A game that has fans that never played Trigger. That is why after all these years and after all those little pissed off fans of the first game got their crying out of the way, we are still here talking about it. This isn’t the first article nor the first…

MS quietly fixed the shoulder buttons at some point. Sometime around a year and a half after the console launched, I think. I first recognized it when I got that Spartan Locke controller and saw the improvement. I remember checking online and seeing that the change was made a few months earlier.

Technically, EA gave them away for free which isn’t the same as it usually is with these PS+/Games with Gold offerings. At the time, it felt more like EA trying to piggyback on the Playstation event that weekend for some publicity.

No one would be comfortable but no answer would be. The thing is, they kind of do have to come up with an answer no matter what. You can’t create separate categories without actually defining what they are.

And Nico Hernandez won the bronze.

They basically said that all they knew was that the guys would let them go if they gave them money. The swimmers weren’t begging to pay. They gave them what they had in their wallets (not exactly a calculated transaction) and they left. What I want to know is that right after this got out, when the police were…

He pulled down a sign. Even the level-headed guy says that the trashed bathroom story from the police is BS.

Umm, I am pretty sure the whole problem is that people didn’t know about it. You think people would be talking about NMS they way they are now if we were all well informed gamers, knowledgeable of what is and isn’t in the game?
