Based on the title, I was hoping this was an account of games where the events of the story all take place over the course of one night, and it's one hell of a ride, kind of like Die Hard.

The second part should be "While time...quietly kills them."

Except all you had to do was opt-in to the beta on Blizzard's site, and they were letting in relatively high numbers of people by Fall 2013, and they didn't reset anybody's card collection after that point.

It should be, but especially since they put in the golden hero at 500 ranked wins, there is even less incentive to play casual/unranked. It's just a bunch of Legend nerds who don't want to lose their precious rating.

Haha, I've been playing since December 2013, and you're completely right. The game is ridiculously hostile to new players. There needs to be a separate matchmaking option for players who have only been playing for like 60 days or less. The playerbase is catching up with the card pool faster than Blizzard can make new…

I'm really disappointed with how little all the GvG cards matter. It feels like all it really changed was that it enabled MechMage to exist. And Tinker's Sharpsword Oil has inexplicably single-handedly revived weapon Rogue decks. I feel like a lot of the other classes didn't get much out of the set.

I think the game still needs like a totally separate mode for players who are in their first month or two of playing it. Because right now, ranked has reach the point where everyone in rank 19-Legend is netdecking with a decent selection of Legendaries and Epics at their disposal, so the only chance new players have…

I wish Destiny were as cool as that poster.

If they do add a voice to a previously silent character like Link or Samus, I'd want them to do a good job of it. I don't think they did a good job of it in Other M. I didn't really buy any of Samus' personal growth in that game, and Adam just undermines her constantly. I recall Metroid Fusion having some Samus…

Yeah, what I think Nintendo could use is fresh perspectives, but held to the quality standard that Nintendo holds themselves to. Next Level Games is another example where they made the surprisingly good Mario Strikers games, and made Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on the 3DS.

Yeah, it's a racing game first and sci-fi anime thing second, but between Metroid, F-Zero, and Star Fox, the common theme is they're kinda sci-fi. But yeah, I don't think that genre actually has anything to do with why they're all semi-shelved, it's just a weird coincidence.

Yeah, they own them, but an external developer that runs somewhat independently of Nintendo HQ. They obviously get assigned projects from Nintendo and have contact with key figures at Nintendo on a regular basis, but most of the key designers and art people and engineers and everything on Metroid Prime were people…

Haha, yeah.

Oh the lengths people will go to for views.

I'm all about praising the sun, but I just don't think the term "bro" fits with Dark Souls at all.

I sincerely want every person who says "sunbro" to die.

Good to know. I feel like the use of contacts is pretty obvious in a lot of them because the colour of the pupil is really exaggerated, but the Anna and Elsa one wasn't so apparent to me. Also I'm guessing some of the women that are looking away from the camera are wearing similar lenses (Tharja? Kiki?), but it's…

OK, so for these two, are we all assuming that the two of them are wearing contact lenses with oversized pupils on them? Both of them have unnaturally large pupils like the cartoon characters they're cosplaying as. Maybe it's natural, but their pupils really don't seem properly proportioned to the size of their eyes…

Yeah, you're right. Hyperion is basically a short story anthology comprised of six or so really short novellas that I happen to think are pretty good. The attempts to tie them together barely make sense, and as much as Fall of Hyperion tries its little heart out, it barely makes sense, and certain elements are never…

Hyperion has the same problems as Dune in that it's a sci-fi epic that just has way too many details and slow worldbuilding for it to fit into a movie. At best, a Hyperion film might end up like the film version of The Golden Compass, where the entire movie had to move at breakneck speed to convey all of the plot…
