Ah, so complicated item mechanics "Simply wouldn't be fun for console gamers?" Really?

A girlfriend of mine started drinking Jack Daniels with her buddies at the age of 13, which I could never quite understand. Granted, I think I was a bit slow to mature compared to most kids, but I can't imagine myself partying at that age, at all.

You just depressed me utterly.

I don't see the big deal myself. In my own, limited experience, girlfriends of mine where less interested in sex during their period, simply because they weren't feeling very sexy. But we'd definitely have those "let's do this, no matter what" moments within those relationships too. On the other hand, your mom...…

"I've never been in a situation where offing myself was the only option." This is part of the issue, I think, for you, and it kind of overly simplifies the matter. You seem to be imagining that "a bad situation," as in a single solitary moment of unhappiness is the reason people might think about suicide. The…

Ah okay. I definitely get to point about fallen weapons disappearing, that has annoyed me numerous times as well. I do find it funny that you compare Halo 4 negatively to Reach. I personally enjoyed Reach, but I think you'd find a lot of people who hated Reach and could give all kinds of reasons why. I really like…

A map pack with 3 maps seems kinda small... but we'll see how it goes. That said, I simply don't get the amount of complaining about Halo 4 here. I kind of understood, (though I usually disagreed with) the complaining about games like Gears 3 and Mass Effect 3 and so on, but Halo 4 is pretty damn awesome, and I just…

I am curious, what makes Halo 4 "absurdly bad" technically?

Is this supposed to be bad? Because, as a huge fan of ghost stories, I think having a graveyard in a "womb" sounds kind of awesome. In the future, next time I visit one, I'll be peeking in, trying to see the tiny headstones.

The author here hit the nail on the head, and answered his own question: " The colonial marines aren't cool. They aren't badass. They are stupid. Under pressure they fall to pieces - they fucking lose - and a civilian has to save their ass." Exactly.

No your brain is working fine. People who get scared by something they see on a screen are the ones who have problems. Real life is FAR scarier than anything I have ever seen in film, television or games. Dead Space 1 made me feel tense, because I was fighting with clunky controls while a cartoonish zombie monster…

Ha! Yeah, I kinda set myself up for that one! You made me LOL. :)

I'm right there with you and said as much in my own comment to this story. What worries me though, is that nearly no one else in the comments here seems to have picked up on that, or thinks it's a big deal.

So, in addition to requiring persistant online connection, not playing used games, and not being backwards compatible, this alleged new console is going to force us to use a kinect sensor and it's going to watch us with recognition software, which seems to imply that MS intends for it to send back demographic…

Please tell me where You shop, as my current Bauhaus shirt is falling to pieces, and I need some Sisters of Mercy shirts as well.

Marry me.

That is terrible. If it is any consolation, former employees of mine used to refer to me as "Dwight," as in the weird guy from the U.S. version of the Office. Current employees of mine have occasionally compared me to "Sheldon" from Big Bang Theory. I don't watch those shows so I can only assume that's a bad thing.

You right, Owen.

Wait... what? Chaning Tatum used to be a stripper? Remind me to laugh at his douchey ass the next time I see him.

It is grown up in the sense that it is slightly less tacky than typical pop-culture "Goth" fashion ... (e.g. Abby from the show NCIS). That's hardly a compliment though, in my opinion.
