I'm rather surprised Andrew Ryan's assisted suicide in Bioshock didn't make the list. He waxes poetically about being in control and about how you have none, then ends his life on his own terms: the penultimate expression of control of his own destiny and life. Why he handed you a putter and not a revolver, however,…

I keep telling people save the saw for the deposit boxes. Let the guy with the ECM handle the ATMs.

Call of Duty: Ghosts is currently only $30 on Steam. Keeping in mind I only play the single-player campaign in these games, is it worth it? I've played CoD games before, I mostly know what to expect (tight, fun shooting, exciting set pieces, ham-handed, not at all subtle, jingoistic story), but if the writing has…

Not quite. As a few other responders have mentioned, it depends on the industry. For example, my younger brother is part of a train conductor's union. In addition to all the usual union stuff, pay negotiation and the like, my brother is insured and has legal representation through his union. If he's laid off or…

Haven't seen Breaking Bad, but I get the appeal of using an actor who played a bad guy on a major television show to play a bad guy in both your video game and promotional material. You see the Dentist introduction?

Kinda wish I could be there. Overkill/Starbreeze and 505 are showing off a new DLC heist for Payday 2. Sure, it comes out later this month, but the novelty of being able to play it before the rest of the Payday community...

As a resident of Peachtree City, I may have to give this place a look-see one of these days.

I love games like this. Every time you buy an album or another video game that comes with a soundtrack it's like getting a new DLC for free.

That's not how you open up a bottle with a sword. This is how you open up a bottle with a sword:

Heck, just being on the Internet has let me know that the wedding in a Storm of Swords (which I have just started today) will befall some sort of misfortune (DON'T TELL ME WHAT KIND). Maybe I should just lock myself in my apartment and unplug my computer until I'm done reading.

Huh. Well, what do you know? Disabled the one I manually installed and re-enabled the one that comes with Chrome, and all is hunky-dory. Odd, because they are the exact same version and should behave the same.

Does anybody else have problems with these videos loading? Never have problems with YouTube videos, but whatever player Kotaku uses in-house never works for me. I just keep seeing this film camera fading in and out.

Also from Citizen Brick: the Albuquerque Action Squad!

Not Bran. Rickton, Bran's 4 year old brother. Still, thank you.

"Stark."

Now, I have not watched the television series, and I've only just finished a Clash of Kings, the second book in the series, but I think I can recognize most of the characters, save for three or four. Maybe you guys could help, without spoiling other books if the characters have not been introduced yet?

It was Sony's call to shut down services, and I am guessing it wasn't in spite of several hundred thousand players logging in every day to take on the... Locust? Helghast? Oh wait, it was Chimera or something.

First thing I thought of:

Didn't want to ruin the camera, which isn't his.

I gotta say it: Valve Time strikes again!
