So, I've never stolen this much sale-able technology. Or stolen anything really.

Pic #1, right-hand image: Poor guy. Two words, dude: Whole grain.

Here's a question: Does 'AAA game' *require* the presence of realistic fighting and killing? (And I would include fighting and killing with swords or laser guns in that definition).

I'm fine with this. Lets call their bluff: Have an *exhaustive* study of violent games if they want. Absolute worst-case scenario: Some sort of age-verification for online FPS play gets instituted. No more having my sexuality or paternity or masculinity questioned by pimply virgins one-third my age.

Yeah, no: I'll watch this . . . never. I am a conscious resister to the All Fantasy/Scifi Movies Must Be At Least Two Hours Long and Form a Trilogy or More Act of 1997.

Have nothing useful to say about nationalism.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, get to the really important point: How do the Hobbit-themed entrees at Denny's taste?

Verily. Did you see Gameological Society's thing about the "Two Refrigerator Theory of Assassin's Creed"?

*...and Jason is given tribal tattoos that allow him to "access his inner warrior" and become a badass.*

I don't care about these games all that much (*maybe* Tomb Raider, but not really). I'm not into most gun-y, soldier-y, explosion-y, murder-y titles (I believe you humans call them "AAA" or "hardcore"). I mean, I'm sufficiently cynical and indifferent to these titles that I don't understand why more than one of them…

+1 to me for recognizing the naked lady as a Milo Manara illustration

Hallways lined with proximity mines in Goldeneye. Worse still, hallways lined with YOUR OWN prox mines in Goldeneye.

Honestly . . . yeah. Most of the above. I still kick myself to this day for watching pretty much the entire original series of Naruto, plus 30-odd episodes of Shippuden, before I got wise to what was going on. Or, rather, what would never go on (viz. an actual resolution of anything). How dumb was I?

*And anything that can be primarily described as a "gritty reboot" of an earlier franchise will not get my money. *

I want to play East Enders: The Video Game SO. MUCH.

The "military worship", spot on.

Manleia actually has pretty good abs on him.

"Wii Fit U", huh?

I've said this before: I want a new Star Fox and/or a Western release for DQX. Until then: Not buying a WiiU.

Hmm, that part is a bit fresh and new, I'll grant you that.
