It actually does line up. The top portion of the blade is at a slight downward angle that lines up with the firing chamber. The first image is at an awkward angle, but this much is apparent in any other view of the gun

Yes, I do see a barrel. You should consider looking at the tip of the gunblade again.

But if you don't play up the screams for the kiddies and make poopy butt jokes while yelling at the game for being a "douchebag" to you you'll never get the views! EVER! YOU'RE A BUM!! Sorry for going all Mickey at the end there.

He's not entirely off though. Yes, it is definitely ridiculous to think that this game was designed specifically for youtube lets plays...but it is youtube lets plays that fed into making this specific style of survival horror so popular. And that popularity probably didn't hurt in convincing producers and a studio to…

Thank you for this. I don't think that's the type of detail I would have missed that many times over. Saying they're blanks seems like such a forced afterthought and doesn't even make sense. For one, if you're going to put a gun and sword together, you're going to let it do both jobs. And especially for two...if the…

Well don't worry, because if you're where I'm at in the game, you get a flamethrower that pretty much nullified the existence of the Alien entirely. You burst it a couple times, it runs away all sad. And then for story reasons the Alien is pretty much nonexistent for half of the game.

I'm not gonna lie, that post came way out of left field.

The hell...it's not even a gunblade to me anymore. It's a blankblade. What was once awesome in its utter ridiculousness is now ridiculously stupid :[

That's because Seifer was rolling with a straight up fuckin Glock and he held the shit sideways.

Wait, what happened to the original dude who started this series?

I've replayed that game no less than six or seven times and I still never knew about this. When does this come up in the game? Because if it isn't said in the game, and it's in some sort of supplemental bullshit, then no, it shoots bullets to me.

Whether you care or not doesn't make it not stupid. It just turns into a stupid thing you don't care about. Still stupid, though!

Not like those console gamers. There's never a circlejerk with those guys!

Ironically you might be overblowing it in your mind. Just because you read a lot of complaints on the internet about framerate issues doesn't mean those gamers don't care about strong gameplay as well. As a consumer it's your duty to fight for the best you can get because not only does it help you, it helps the…

Nathan Grayson's exaggerations are so spot-on. He replicates typical blogger voice hyperbole to brilliant effect.

I think I'm a bit desensitized to the whole thing because we used to go through Estes rockets like nothing when I was a kid.

Well, that's certainly what they were thinking at least.

I feel like Alien Isolation is going to end up with the same 6 or 7 out of 10 range of mediocrity honestly. The trailers building up to release haven't inspired me much, and the fact that the droid combat was kept so under the rug til now always had me worried.

Needs more monkeyface

Dude, if your flying toy actually ends up flying like that, that's an epic success. I'd have the hugest grin on my 8 year old face. Epic fail would be the fairy flipped upside down and flew into the girl's face.
