/high five to all of that.

Though somewhat disproportionally harsh to your intended joke, I do believe Scott Lynch's response to recent criticism about having a middle-aged female Pirate in his stories applies here. Wish fulfillment goes for everyone, and personally I think having a crusty, wise-cracking seen-it-all female fighter pilot would…

I feel like I remember seeing the woman above in at least one of the versions of the Original trilogy, but I can't remember if/when she appeared or which version she might have been edited out in...

There's an Epilogue that's a nice closure to the Revolutionary War, and a strange post-credits item hunt that makes no sense but MIGHT be a clue to the next game. If there's a next game.

Not to mention the fact that NOTHING THEY SAID was foreshadowed by what you encountered in the game. No, I'm not counting Juno's desire to take over the world, because none of the mission critical points where we were severely emotionally invested in the story, (or had the capability to be, at least) had anything to…

Okay, I think I see where you're coming from a little more. React, Forgive, Forget kind of a deal. That would be the right spot on the fine line you're talking about. I confess that I never learned how to properly "fight back" at the time in such a way that would be effective, because most of the elders in my life…

What the hell?! Did that kid's show clip just show Santa Claus getting SHOT?! It's like watching Battlestar Galactica all over again and Billy and Duala are dropping like flies!

But in what world do bullies ever really stop just because someone lashes back? Bullies aren't monsters, or aberrant people whose behavior need only be corrected by a "moral code." They're often people from even more screwed up backgrounds than their victims. While the Draco Malfoys of the world come from well off…

This article kinda punched me right in the feels, given that I've spent a decent part of the last couple years staring my history with bullying in the face, and figuring out how it's affecting who I am now. It's weird—and I admit, slightly comforting—to come to some very similar conclusions, but to see such a…

It's a weird balance you have to hit I feel like. You can't hit back, because you can become the same things they are, but you can't ignore it, because you can too easily ignore and bury your pain. But I do agree that teaching kids that "ignoring it will make it stop" is not the right lesson, nor do I think it's quite…

Two questions: 1. Why did you make the children have such weird, devilish laughs?

The words "iconic" do not apply to any movie posters that look like this. The word you are looking for is "celebrity-showcasing."

I know, right?! This tells me a thousand times more things about the game than the actual cover.

Day One Purchase!

THIS! This is one of my only two real beefs with AC3. It's such a weird design, it doesn't sound ANYTHING like a child's laugh, and it doesn't vary whatsoever!

Thanks for sharing this story—as someone who's had to deal with the consequences of an affair ending a relationship (Not mine, but one within my family), I can honestly say I was really compelled to sympathize with you on this, especially given his behavior and excuses for it. It's weird that gaming can be an outlet…

Gah! I was literally playing ODST a month ago! I stared RIGHT at this sign! I saw it! I knew Bungie had a game called Destiny coming! And yet I didn't connect the dots...

What's interesting is that the original NPR piece was actually about this phenomenon—how scientists have to restrain themselves from making big announcements in case they're not right, and even featured Grotzinger telling a story about how he leaked a big announcement to his family because he was so excited about…

I do not know how this weird video has gone around without any Halo jokes getting made. (Forerunner=ancient alien race in that game)
