I heartily agree. I still regularly play it -and it’s been a huge inspiration to me, artistically. It really is amazing how they got that Star Wars feel with the limitations they had, especially when you compare it to later LucasArts games that...really don’t feel all that star wars-y. Everyone should play this, if…

Floyd Mayweather is kind of a perfect microcosm of Gawker’s attitude towards the racist trolls infesting their comment section. (Thankfully Deadspin is good about taking out the trash, but Gawker is a goddamned dumpster fire at the moment.)

When I think of unfinished games, this one comes to mind.

She ain’t lost, she’s getting fucking paid to be an obnoxious POC GOP Media rep. I’m betting a 5-10 million annual stipend from the Koch/Fox war chest.

The character design for Robin is horrible. This is the kind of game where the characters pose how video game designers think tough, cool guys would pose, rather than naturally. Makes them look stiff, etc.

Reminds me somewhat of this one here. ;-)

my brother and i LOVE the classic Japanese Godzilla films, so here is hoping this one is good!

Yeah I’m a long time kaiju movie fan and I absolutely hated Godzilla ‘14 for exactly the reasons you list here.

Yeah there can be such a thing as too much visual detail in games especially newer games.

I agree, I'm still playing the heck out of Sega Genesis games when I'm not doing Halo online too, there are so many good old games. What I'm really hoping for is when the next Doom rolls out they return the game to the older Hell environments just crammed full of enemies again, Doom 3 wasn't really all that good.

This reminds me of an N64 game graphic wise, old school gaming yo!

Looks kinda neat.

Stand corrected. I'm looking at it as a video game with all the delays and changes that comes with initial announcement. :) Looking forward to it on Netflix after it airs on FOX.

My enthusiasm at finding out what happens post-Return of the Jedi has always been tempered by the fact that JJ Abrams had something to do with the creation of it. I'm going to read this, and hope it's good. I'm not banking on it, though.

a bit to your point re kindness and responsibility. My mom and maternal grandparents dropped the "special" bomb on me soooo much because of my intelligence. If they were my only influences I would have no doubt grown up to be insufferable. (I'm also an only child so have that insufferability factor going for me too.)…

I heard a lot about responsibility, to the point of it also almost becoming a complex. Teachers and other adults kind of had a tendency to take advantage of younger me's reliability**. A little would probably be good, though! I didn't hear as much about kindness, but I imagine praising it wouldn't hurt. Beyond that, I…

Yo, totally! I purposely didn't go into detail about the timing of my childhood 'achievements' because they don't mean much about me as an adult, plus I've seen the same obnoxious pattern you have. Like, what contest do these people think they're winning? Tell me what you're doing now instead (and if it's just…

Child psychologist here and I agree- do NOT tell that precociously early reader or golf prodigy she's special. Kids don't need to hear this at all- after all, that's not why they are reading or playing golf! Maybe reading is fun, a challenge, exciting, or imaginative, etc. Focus on what the activity means to the child…

"Person goes to New York to discover themselves" is the second most insufferable TV trope out there, besides the "genius (cop, doctor, garbage man) who is also a total asshole."

Kerbal Space Program? Never heard of it. Kerbal Ballistic Missile Simulator though, I've played that a LOT! Eventually my payload of 3 Kerbals per missile will cause Kerbalstan to surrender under the mounting pile of bodies and missile debris.
