Wow. So everyone's 'revolutionary', 'must-buy' game looks like . . . every other FPS ever conceived by the mind of man.

First one is the best, last one is the second best and many of them have a vaguely Vanillaware-ish look to them.

Just reading downthread . . . no. I see a lot of Internet Tough Guy, Police Are Never Wrong, Let's Thump Some Heads-ism. I remember it being particularly bad during the height of Occupy ("Hah! Stupid hippies got whupped! WOOOO! USA! USA! USA!" 'n so forth).

Very possibly.

Verily. Mostly I'm keen to steer online morons clear of reductio ad Hitlerum: Hitler was a vegetarian, therefore all vegetarians are Hitler.

1.) I have learned not to bother posting anything here or on Gawker remotely critical of police use of force and/or positing that there should ever be any such limits: The Dirty-Harry-Wannabe contingent here is just too damn populous.

I've heard the vegetarian-Hitlery angle was an urban myth.

Um, there are *way* stupider goals in video gamedom than that . . .

Why would anyone want to date a non-Japanese?

I find all the supposed sexy bits in Bioware games to be remarkably unsexy. It *always* comes across as two odd marionettes rubbing against each other rather than anything I as a human person find genuinely appealing.

Hardly even need to pretend.

Ugh. I mean, for all the obvious reasons, "Ugh."

Oops, sorry. Meant to respond to someone else.

What comic is that?

Mmm. That's a point worth making: Other than the somewhat finicky original NES, consoles have been getting generally more and more fragile as they advance.

The artwork: ME LIKEY!

I mean, some 'hardcore' players would complain that the Vanillaware boogers were only in 2D (*they* of course, would refuse to ever play anything less than fully-rendered 3D boogers in 1080p), but who cares what they think?

Ooh! Me too! Nice to meet a fellow Vanillaware-head.

I love how NBC didn't even have it's own email server: They were piggybacking on GE's.

Forsooth. It's almost like a bingo square. I almost think that the best thing a person can do to demonstrate nonsexism/nonracism is to say, "I have no [black/female/gay] friends whatsoever."
