That still from the video just screams "Someone call the cops right now". Well played, Plunkett.

I don't get it. Who are those people?

The regular Xbox 360 d-pad is just unacceptably bad. It's still astonishing to think that someone approved it, and thought it was suitable for any kind of precision gaming.

Make sure you read this whole comment in a wistful, disappointed tone.

It's still entirely possible, but nothing about this announcement in any way concerns the first two PAA games.

Fuck combos. Don't get me wrong, I loved Orcs Must Die and look forward to the sequel.

I thought the game's graphics, sound design, and music were all quite entrancing, but OH GOD, did the writing ruin the game for anyone else?

I have never been more looking forward to a Giant Bomb Quick Look than this moment right now.

I appreciate the essay. You seem very well versed on the subject, so I concede the discussion.

I was under the impression that moe also requires the character be in the pre-teen/very early teens age bracket, which is why I wouldn't think Bulma, Sailor Moon, etc., are particularly moe.

Yeah, I saw that in the FAQ, and immediately thought "Wow, that is completely false, of course people can see your Facebook account through Kotaku."

Yeah, because all of those Japanese-developed ninja games have been so historically accurate.

With all due respect to the talent of that keyboardist, that video sorta just further reminded me that there isn't a whole lot going on in your average John Williams score. Pretty much al focus is given to the melody, and you have this whole symphony assembled just so the brass section can play the melody while…

Playstation Four.

Wow, that third pic is so fucking moe. Like, Jesus Christ guys.

I also didn't finish it. I played it during like January 2010 a couple months after it came out, but something else distracted me before I completed it. I randomly picked it up a couple times in the past couple months to try to finish it, and I've made some progress, but man, there are so many busywork quests that…
