So, if past performance is trend, Fable IV will have a decent rulership segment?

@freelunch: Eye contact is a step leading to an actual social interaction. It's not poor behavior in and of itself, but there's this sense that, after you've made eye contact, there's supposed to be actual interaction. There's not always the time or the inclination for that, and it can sometimes send the wrong…

Facebook occasionally exhibits an indifference or a carelessness that is hard to distinguish from actual malice. That doesn't make it evil, but it does make it hard to distinguish from something that's evil.

@SlamDancinMoogle: I disagree, but I think you have a point. Good dialog is exactly as long as it needs to be. That can be long. It can be short. It's a mistake to think that lots of dialog is necessarily good. That's a mistake that's often made. I agree that too many RPGs get into the "tedious exposition" mode, but…

@DarthKarki: "Wubba?"

@rojano17: At the end? No. At all? Well, basically, if you don't come in with a ME1 save or take the game on a second playthrough, you are more likely than not to run into at least one point where you cannot use the paragon or renegade option.

@Serge.: The two aren't necessarily exclusive.

Possibly my personal favorite comes from, of all places, Space Quest VI, where a fairly innocuous click sends the narrator into a tizzy that culminates in the director having to intervene.

@symphonycometh: I think you caught a minority opinion, seeing has how there have been whole posts dedicated to Persona 4 gush fests.

@Chicken Pawks: That's actually why I'm worried. I don't know if any of the previous cases were rejected, but by not taking it up, it effectively stood on the lower court decisions. Agreeing to hear the case - specifically when the circuits are in accord with one another - makes me suspect it's looking to reverse.

"No comments about the state of American health care in this game."

"Hit up an arcade together"? I can think of better uses for a time machine.

@cpt0bvius: That we did. It was epic.

My Review:

@Kazama Sogetsu ♥ BlazBlue: In its defense, Sims had vampires before vampires were Twampires.

@RoflChoppa: Don't forget Pets & Unleashed. It's almost intentional. It's also what people want, or about following the beats that people expect. Same song, different band.

His definition of the strip sounds like my definition of a Thursday.

@kicking222: The star system is something that's Gawker-wide. On the majority of sites, it's not really a thing. Here, it's partially a byproduct of the sort of issues that infect nigh-every video game site.

@INFAMOUSMrChewy: I'm actually more of a fan of the story than the game. I haven't read the books, but honestly, I generally steer clear of FPSes. However, I give some serious kudos for the story, specifically for how it's implemented in the games.

@Ueziel: Like Tetris or Space Invaders, it hits one of those sweet spots for most people in terms of complex simplicity.
