Meanwhile I can book a doctor’s appointment within a few days for the sniffles - actually, no, I once got an appointment within an hour for a minor pain in my abdomen that turned out to be nothing, in the middle of the night - also in the UK. It’s strange how anecdotes tend to work out like that.

They’re mechs, with pilots, like a Gundam or a Variable Fighter. When people think of giant robots fighting each other, those robots generally have someone inside pulling levers and stuff.

Arguably the best of all-time, I’d say. It doesn’t regularly hover near the top of all those Internet lists for nothing.

That is the perfect description.

Ah, yeah, I suppose you could. I flew about and Mako’d all the planets they’d let me, which took a while.

I think he discounted it because it didn't raise his total hit points, but rather gave him ten extra on top of what he already had. If it had increased the total pool, like levelling up does, he'd have accepted it.

Relative to most other modern RPGs, the Mass Effect games are really quite short—the first is actually the longest. Dragon Age, though... Yeah, I somehow managed to spend over 200 hours in Origins alone, including the expansion pack and other DLC.

I was hoping you’d put up something about this, after your previous articles! It’s quite the achievement. Jon is probably my favourite player of video games, and I’ve spent an awful lot of time watching people play games on the Internet. I’m really looking forward to his Fallout 3 YOLO run—even if, as he said to my…

P D Shoot is, I think, a hero by any definition that allows for fictional characters.

Because it wasn’t called Fallout 4, mainly. Reach is very much a main-series Halo game, but the game that came out after it was still called Halo 4, because that’s just how these things work. I can think of very few examples of a franchise having an entry with a subtitle and no number stand in for a numbered entry in…

Here’s a comment I made on an old post about some Star Trek mobile game:

I can actually understand why people like the music in Abrams’ Trek films so much, but I just can’t. For much the same reasons as they reassured me that Abrams would do a great job taking over the reins of the Star Wars franchise, I absolutely cannot stand them as Star Trek films.

Firm disagreement.

This can only end in fire and criminal misadventure, you mark my words.

Mine does. I actually prefer it there, but I appear to be in the minority. It doesn’t come up all that often, anyway; people rarely beep around where I live.

I’m currently attempting to play through Inquisition as the grand conclusion of my ‘marathon every Dragon Age game and somehow end up spending over 200 hours in Origins’ initiative. I’d played through Origins and 2 as a dual wield rogue, but I found the melee combat more than a little unsatisfying in Inquisition, and…

Nah, the Multipla was one of the quintessential family cars where I live. Far too common to appeal to the average hipster.

“The footage eventually made its way online through Bethesda’s official channels, to be sure.“

Because of the cruddy transmission, yeah. All the pre-200, pre-auto RS Clios were brilliant, ‘specially the 197.

People tended not to like the 200 all that much. All the prior RS Clios were very well liked, though.
