This wins, kotaku, haha.

Transmorgraphication sounds awesome, but I can see the negative consequences coming: style-conscious people taking items they don't need just for the transmoraphication (I've given up trying to spell that word).

That's true. It doesn't even have to be the protagonist though, just more games with female/minority characters who aren't cliches.

The issue really isn't that games/movies have sexy women in them, at least not from my point of view. Sexy women are cool. The problem is there aren't enough games/movies that have women that exist for reasons other than to be sexy or to be the love interest. I think blaming any particular game is kind of silly.…

Thank you for pretty thoroughly depressing me. I guess this is what I get for deciding I really like a developer. I mean it is one thing to hear people say it on forums, but to actually hear that everything I disliked about the game was purposefully put in their for exactly the reasons I disliked it is really…

Hey now, don't go calling people self-entitled just because they think something is a bad move.

While I don't think Braid is perfect, I think placing too much emphasis on the atomic bomb metaphor in braid really does a disservice to the game. I don't think the idea is at all "it's all just a metaphor for the bomb," I think the metaphor is just a compliment to the rest of it. Everyone seems to take that as…

That's really more important than trying to make the "Citizen Kane" or video games or anything like that I think. Really, if video games open up to the point where they have the same kind of place in our culture as movies or books do, someone making video games' Citizen Kane equivalent is practically inevitable. But…

As you should be. All is right with the world. :)

They made me call them to do it; I tried. And they try to keep you on real hard. I think I had to talk to a guy on the phone for about 15-20 minutes while he tried to convince me there really was some way I could circumvent my school's blocking of video games in order to get on their wireless to play Xbox live.

Breach of contract is not a tort; it is a contract claim. At least in theory, contract law is supposed to be the opposite of tort law. I don't think unjust enrichment is a tort either, but honestly I don't know too much about it and I don't really fully understand what entitles you to it as a remedy/cause of action. I…

In my opinion:

I know exactly how you feel. I had L.A. Noire spoiled for me that way, because the top comment on a story here was discussing something about the ending "vaguely," assuming people who hadn't finished the game wouldn't get the hint. I spent the rest of the game trying to convince myself I had misinterpreted it, but…

That seems completely backwards. Many of the most renowned, celebrated stories are adaptions or retellings of other stories. All of Shakesepeare's stories are basically cobbled together or outright taken from other stories. Religious and cultural myths are all adapted from each other, so are a lot of early heroic…

Oh man, the arms. I'm angry, so I'm going to SLAP MYSELF ON THE HEAD! RAWR! Flail wildly! He looks like a monkey.

I love that you mention Resonance of Fate in there, but I think you should look at little deeper into what he says. In the linked interview:

Everyone seems to be responding to this strangely. I see all these "but you can't just put the character in, just making a character black doesn't change anything." That's completely true. But nowhere up there does the quote say "all you have to do is change someone's skin color and it deepens their character."

Is Diablo III really a primarily single-player game? I pretty much played Diablo II exclusively online.

Oooh, that could be cool. I hadn't thought of that.

That isn't the Internet, that is human nature and the necessities of generalizations. And it isn't as negative as you seem to suggest.
