Given that this is a conversation about TF2 I'm fairly certain it's a Jump to Conclusions Hat.

Screw Diablo 3.

Looks like we got us a cowboy.

I dunno if it's also a movie trope, but cowboys seemed to do the whole "shoot from the hip" thing as well. Which I can only imagine was wildly inaccurate. Maybe they were more concerned with looking cool?

While it's not particularly graphic, in The Indigo Prophecy (Quantic Dream game prior to Heavy Rain), you can leave a child to drown. If you haven't taken steps to make yourself particularly happy before this happens, it'll bum the character out so much that he offs himself, but it's doable.

UPlay ain't got jack on Games For Windows Live.

That's ok, Prototype looked almost exactly like The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Marijuana is slowly but steadily becoming more legal and more accepted by society. It's a thing, whether you like it or not. You can't hide your kids from it, any more than you can hide them from the existence of alcohol or cigarettes. It needs frank discussion and honest explanations for why it's a poor idea to…

You would probably have less issues coming across as sexist if your screen name wasn't one of the more distasteful nicknames for female genitalia.

I always thought it was so cool that you could put the original Tribes disc in a CD Player, and it would play the game's spiffy electronica soundtrack.

They did up a Theme Park port for the DS a while back. I personally found it really had not aged well. Hopefully it goes a bit better on the iPhone.

When I was 16 or 17 I had one interesting and stupid night where I took a whole bunch of Ritalin. I can tell you though, there's no sitting down and playing Xbox on a dozen of those. I spent the whole night doing loops around the block, stopping at an all night coffee shop for the ever important rehydration. Not a…

@GtheMVP99: I don't entirely get the frustration with the save system. There's bathrooms in pretty much every area, you just gotta pretend Frank/Chuck have a bladder infection.

@Ghinn: "You don't know where I've been Bob! You don't know where I've been!

@Bryy Miller: How many of us would never have heard of it, or never thought twice about it, without Bobby Kotick in it to hate.

@N-Robes: In fact, Dark Spore is on sale right now, is that Valve bitchily saying we'll sell the games we sell for whatever price we want?

Aside from from the general crappyness of all this, it seems vaguely disrespectful to me that they named their store Origin. It brings up memories of Wing Commander and other awesome games from a once great company.

@VagEnthusiast Now dual wielding crotch rockets!!: How is Minecraft basically free? 13 to 20$ is Real Moneyz, just like 40$ is.

@Ghinn: They did that actually, for Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorow.

@juxtapose519: Have you heard about Xenonauts? It seems to be in every way the X-Com sequel we've all been waiting for, even if it doesn't bear the title. I think they're expecting to have it done some time this year.
