I don't get the hate for that one (maybe it's an earlier episode than I think, and therefor worse by comparison?). Sure, it's a little lazy with the the Simpsons are going to ___!-plotline but the twist about the Jane Goodall character is hilarious.

I do that a lot too. I think it's just… the fun part is usually over by then. If you're not terribly eager to watch the ending cinematic it's hard to find the motivation to plow through the boring, dark, hard final dungeon.

I did that last night too, watching Sunset Boulevard. Turns out the young love interest is still alive.

Yeah, GLADOS so didn't need a backstory. She's an evil robot!

I'm so jealous of everyone getting to play the Dragon Age DLC! Oh well, I can wait. I'm a grown-up… *grinds teeth*

Yes, Lightning is the best part of FFXIII. I agree with BradTheBiggestDad, the game was just such a huge step backwards on a technical level compared to FFXII.

Yeah, I guess I'm fine with it. It might be a mistake from a business perspective, though.

I'm sceptical, but not enough for it to be a deal-breaker. It does seem odd for them to go with five white dudes this time, when the series has sported a lot of diversity (gender, age, race, and species-wise) in the past.

I finished my veggies, Suikoden that is. How anticlimatic was that final battle, I expected the emperor to morph into two more forms and then to be followed by the real final boss, Windy. Anyway, I got all the stars (checking the Internet for the last ten or so). I'm glad I made the effort because it seemed like you…

I'm not sure the next season of Serial will necessarily be about a murder… It might follow a line-dancing group's journey to regionals, or whatever. Anything.

I've never played an adventure game with unwinnable states. I think I would go quite insane if I was stuck somewhere and had no way of knowing if all was lost or not.

I guess there's kind of a symmetry to it though, since goron rolling and deku, ahem, snot-blowing also cost magic.

Oh, how weird. I was under the impression that the changes made to the game were meant to make it easier, not harder. What a bummer, I used to really love just swimming around and jumping as a zora, Disney's the Little Mermaid-style!

What's this now?

I think Kotaku is fine, as long as you stay out of the comments (and really, the comments are probably also a little above average).

I wonder how realistic it is that Branson is bringing his daughter to Boston instead of leaving her with the grandparents, at least until he gets remarried. It screams "modern dad" to me, but I might be wrong…

I heard there IS a boss fight there if you (spoilers spoilers spoilers) drink from the well yourself.

Yeah, and movie references (without any particular twist or spin) were still considered hilariously clever.

How do multiple romances work exactly – can you do the whole quest, then break up and move on to someone new? Or can you do the early stages of all the romances but only go "all the way" (trophy!) with one?

Not sure, I'm usually not much of a 100%-er. On the other hand, it seems like it unlocks some good stuff in the next game? Maybe I'll just look at a guide…
