I just realized, I should also apologize for phrasing my comment more critically than I needed to. I'm in a program right now where all of our training is videotaped, reviewed, analyzed, and critiqued, and it's an incredibly uncomfortable and difficult experience. I can only imagine what it must be like to have your…

What a surprise! Assuming this is the real Hari Sreenivasan (sorry for butchering the spelling of your last name previously in my English phonetics sort of way - I should have just taken 3 seconds to Google it; my apologies), I'm delighted to get your response. Speaking of your last name, I listened to an interview…

I haven't watched the PBS News Hour more than probably twice in the last 12 months, but I happened to turn it on last night and there was Mr. Totilo of Kotaku! It was so exciting! I told my wife, who has decided to paint our front room, "I know that guy! He's the editor of that website I'm always talking about." Then,…

To address your question, if you've ever played an Elder Scrolls/Fallout game that uses the Gamebryo engine, you know what a stretch "pretty" and "sexy" can be for ANY of the characters.

I put about 50 hours into the beta and think they have a really good thing going. I made a squad of 1) A fast, close-the-distance, bare knuckles brawler who (to my surprise) did massive amounts of damage, 2) a sniper who only had enough AP fire his weapon (and nothing else, i.e. reload, crouch, move) but was deadly…

While I'm sure I could find examples that would fit her frame in the video, I think that the modern Fallout games (and probably the older ones too, though I have less experience with those) actually avoid this trope much better than most. This is largely due to what appears to be a simple random sex assignment code…

This is such fantastic news! Long live the future of DRM FREE! Long live GOG!!!

Mr. Hamilton - I see your ZZ Top (excellent choice, BTW) and raise you this...

Yes! Thanks for reminding me about this one too. This has a definite Freespace kind of vibe to it (which is a good thing). What's Freespace, you may ask (assuming you are 1] old like me and somehow never played Freespace when it came out, or 2] not old yet and Freespace came out about the same time you did)? Well, let…

Here here!

While the racing aspect probably interests me the least of anything (it's been a long time since my days of endlessly playing F-Zero trying to best my time on Death Wind on the SNES), I have to admit that that racing trailer was a blast to watch. The racing itself felt kind of slow, probably more due to the massive…

Fallout 3 was my first ever Fallout/Bethesda/Big Open World game; my mind was immediately blown and I was completely hooked. However, I almost hesitated to continue playing when I went to Springvale Elementary for the first time and found all of those tortured corpses the raiders had nailed to the walls and to the…

Honestly, one of my favorite things about this game is the party creation system, including the ability to import character portraits for each of your rangers. I had no idea how much satisfaction I was going to get out of leading my dream team of movie stars/characters around the Wasteland as they grew together to…

I'm having the same issue with Baldur's Gate II and Planescape: Torment. All I ever hear about is how amazing these games were/are but every time I try to play I just keep thinking "OMG I DON'T HAVE THE TIME FOR ALL OF THIS SLOWNESS!" It makes me feel bad because if I had played these games as a kid I would have just…

Mr. Schreier, did you happen to play the PC version of Ys: The Oath in Felghana? Watching this video made me remember that I haven't quite beaten that one yet (after loving the SNES version back in the day) but have really enjoyed it thus far. Did you do a review of it you could point me to, or otherwise share some…

I believe the ended up 4th place. They are fun to watch, but as one of the commentators pointed out, they don't seem as cohesive as a team as some of the others. They're kind of like an all-star team with lots of individual skill that seems like it can sometimes interfere with their unified effort (Dota is a team…

There were so many amazing moments in the EG vs DK series - Game 1 was probably the most entertaining Dota game I've ever watched.

I have to say that game 1 of EG vs DK today was probably the best, most intense, and most enjoyable Dota 2 game I have ever watched. I just didn't think there was any way EG was going to survive vs the Shadow Shaman/Death Prophet pushing combo. There were so many amazing moments in that game, and that finish…

As a lifelong Al listener (my mom had all of his original cassettes which we would listen to on every family road trip), I concur that "White and Nerdy" is one of the best. That video - masterful! My other favorite is probably...

I mostly remember getting to this one dungeon where there were all of these invisible enemies and I had no idea how to make them visible (assuming you could, I still don't know) or get through it. I also remember being lost a lot. I remember really liking the look, feel, and uniqueness of the game, and really, really,…
