@rwp140: It was Black Isle that created Fallout, Interplay only produced it. Black Isle turns into Obsidian (or at least there's developer overlap). Interplay is, more or less, the bosses who screwed over Black Isle and prevented them from making The Game That Would Have Been Fallout 3 (known as Van Buren), so I…

@Akitsu: "So how much green did Interplay get for their venerable property? 5.75 million. That's EVERYTHING... hook line and sinker. At the time they were probably laughing about what a great deal they got... "

@dracosummoner: Depends on what you consider the word "best" to modify. I'd never call The Witcher the best RPG out there, though it's pretty good and fills a nice niche.

Sure, the Sea Scorpions were vegetarians, but...

But I'm an ugly misathrope! Posting mean replies is my dating!

@Kotaku Reject: I wouldn't. I mean, there really isn't a good answer. There are too many ways that people can get into gaming.

@bg-dez: So, you want to reboot Red Dawn?

About 15 years ago or so, I used to slum around in coffeehouses with the author, and, at least then, I'd imagine he'd be aghast at the idea his writing would be considered in analog with a comic/graphic novel.

@Yedman: I hesitate from calling it a good game.

@pinshot: Kotaku posted it.

@Full_Circle: It doesn't make a mayonnaise, but it's pretty easy to mix with mayonnaise.

I love sriracha (sriracha mayo w/ sweet potato fries is one of those things that I never though I'd like as much as I do), but I cannot lie - I get much more use out of my chili garlic sauce (tung ot toi).

@TheLAG: Eggnog itself isn't alcoholic, it just tends to be spiked.

@QBasicGorilla: *salutes*

Okay, now I actually want to play this game. Good job, advertising!

Life is full of these interactions. It's more obvious when it's a situation like this because we're especially sensitive to ones of gender disparities. The difference between this and when the waiter conspiratorially tells you to avoid the steak - or when your broker asks you about your kids, or when your banker sends…

@GirlLibrarian: Places of hair styling used to be - and frequently still are - decidedly gendered space, and one where the privilege was maintained for both genders. That's much less the case now. While in part due to changing social ideas about gender equality, I think a major driving factor was economy. The result…

I think "annoying" is the only proper description.

As much as I'm eagerly anticipating this, Halo 2/3 got all my "the Earth is fucked" kicks out already, as far as video games are concerned, so I'm a bit underwhelmed.
