It REALLY isn’t that bad. I’ve only crashed a few times in 90 hours of gameplay, probably 40 of which have been endgame. Most of those crashes have been when I was taking the landing too fast (user error) or trying tricks and stunts so far as the engine allows (user error). Only once have I been unjustly explodified.

Yup. It ties with VI for me, while X takes the grand prize. Truly a great game on its own merits, and I can’t wait to see how it changes over the next year(s).

Unlikely. Didn’t they JUST change the UI? The images look cool though. Definitely very snazzy, although not extremely user friendly in some cases.

I don’t even like dogs,

Wow, even Jezebel can’t find anything bad to say about this pick. He really was the perfect option.

I’m still always excited to buy/download a game, especially on Steam. I fall into the age bracket where I was still pretty young when Steam “got gud” and so I have good memories of watching Portal download at 14kbps. It certainly isn’t as exciting as when I got my copy of Fire Emblem or Pokemon FireRed though.

Double XP wins this round.

Ike and Lyn were fantastic characters! Eirika and Ephraim could stand to be a lot higher, like a LOT higher, but otherwise the lists look pretty good to me. I love me some Joshua and Mia. Oh, and kick Tharja off the list. Ugh, Tharja. The Japanese part of the internet had way too much fun with her.

Funny, that was the ugliest trailer they’ve released so far, and yet... it also gave me the first hype I’ve had for this game. Dang.

Kotaku should do a poll!!!

That stoicism works better in males. Because typically men are stoic, and women are not. Tumblr can argue gender nonsense all day but this is what we practically see.

Yup. None of us want to say it, but let’s get this out of the bag: waifus.

You have an opinion and I respect your right to say it. I also happen to agree with you, but that’s besides the point.

I mean it IS a good point, I just happened to not mind it at the time (or now, for that matter).

Good point, I hadn’t thought of that. I didn’t really think about it at the time, but the ending felt appropriate to me. We all must face death alone...

Funny, this very afternoon I started my second reading of I, Robot. What an author, what a dude. Foundation is phenomenal as well. As a mathematics major, I’m ecstatic for the representation.

The Mule definitely changed the pacing of the books. It was something different, but I didn’t like it any less. It certainly made for a more compelling story which was largely contained to one time period and set of characters (something that the rest of the previous books did not do at all).

I’m a mathematics major at university and I ADORE Foundation for its “unconventional” sciences.

I argued against Cindy in the promotional materials for the game and hated her at first; by the end of the story, I actually quite liked her (hilarious and gratuitous windshield washing notwithstanding). If you go through her quest line you find that not only is her voice actress quite talented, but she also has more…
