If Mass Effect 3's multiplayer were sold as a standalone thing, would it be worth $40? It still seems super crazy that this game isn't launching in something like the $20-$25 range.

Fair enough, Goblet of Fire is a close second for me. They cut scenes in smart way from Goblet of Fire (the story still pretty much works without seeing the Hogwarts house elf kitchens, for example). I didn't mind the changes made to Azkaban as much you did, I guess.

Can we give honourable mention to Rise of Endymion? Because JESUS CHRIST, you guys. What a terrible ending. "Everybody is now a bunch of space hippies who can teleport themselves anywhere or something, because quantum physics and string theory or something, and Aenea dying horribly sure was a bummer, wasn't it?" I…

From a Buick 8 ends with the son of the main cop guy (remember the whole thing was a framing story of the son learning about all the weird shit that happened with the car from a friend of his dad's) going to the car. It opens up a legit portal to some alternate dimension, where you can see a few items that are…

It's amazing that for a show that had some degree of a budget, Heroes just had the worst fight scenes imaginable.

Yeah, the climax of The Stand was completely terrible. I read somewhere that once the characters in Boulder starting getting along, King wasn't sure what to do with them, so he just thought "what's a crazy thing I could do to them, and then I'll just have to think about how they'd react", which is why the bomb scene…

I agree that the David Yates films are pretty weak. Alfonso Cuaron's Prisoner of Azkaban is still the best one, though it is also the best plotted storyline of the books so he had a pretty sweet advantage.

Swords & Soldiers is secretly one of the best local muliplayer games on the Wii. I think I had more fun with it than I did with anything else.

I'd feel better about it if it were actually random, because that mean sometimes you might go 20-30 days without being raided by animals. In the actual game, I'm fairly certain there are just fixed animals attacks every 10-12 days, so even if you get really lucky with your hunting yields, it busts you back down to…

The Ludum Dare game was interesting. I really liked the execution of the concept, and it was cool how easily you would become attached to these little archetypal characters.

Sure, but lots of people won't go to that extra effort.

Well, they have already released the puzzles. But if you take a Prof Layton cart out of the wrapping for the first time, it still has to hit a Nintendo server somewhere to go "OK, it's fine to unlock all these extra puzzles".

Yeah, the plot was just kinda not interesting, so DLC is a bit of a weird sell. Most endings where you you go into a well lit, secret concrete military bunker beneath the completely different setting you've been in for the rest of the game end up being kind of lame. See also: many Resident Evils, F.E.A.R., etc.

I could just watch this GIF forever.

It's not even so much a joke, as it is the entire reason that anyone finds Twitch Plays Pokemon entertaining.

Oh sweet, one of the least interesting characters in Brawl! Whatever would I do without him.

Hey, nobody forced him to make his webcomic in English. He could've made it in his native language.

I don't think it's a big deal, because I find MGDMT completely unfollowable if your only exposure to it is through these Sunday comics.

He isn't a native English speaker. Still, if your webcomic is big enough that fucking Kotaku reposts it, you'd think the creator could email the dialogue of his comics to an English-speaking internet friend to quickly check them for spelling and grammar.

Yeah, the title is wordy enough as it is.
