@bialia: I had a longtime, complete aversion to FPS, but The Darkness and Bioshock broke me in, and my son and I have run through Halo 1, 2 and 3 campaigns and I quite enjoyed Fallout 3. I'm considering checking out Modern Warfare now, which is scary, and I'm not sure I'll like it. But I am all over Borderlands.

@Yossarian: I for one am glad no one can see me pump my fist in the dark.
@hot_heart: I did, but then, I'm an analyst and a therapist.
@Gyaruson: 1) Borderlands

@Mahler: Happy Birthday, Mr. C!
@Devilbless: Quality + zeitgeist or community or tellability. First, the game has to be great at what it does, or do a lot of things really well. Then it needs something extra. It either needs to have a cultural moment, or have a community spring up around it, or it has to create great stories... in the case of games…

@Phydeaux: Wait, you can still choose not to promote your comments?! I'm jealous... I have a secret superpower too, when I'm at work using IE 6.0, I can (theoretically) demote comments. I have a thumbs down icon next to the thumbs up. I've never used it on myself. Usually if I'm at work, I won't comment unless I…
@Kobun: @ gold163 (° д° ): @ShadowOdin isn't American: Sigh.
Since Iron Man is basically a mech, why not give this to a Japanese studio?
@excel_excel: That remark set off alarm bells bor me, too. How is that even possible? Answer: It's not, and if a company that knows their game has perception problems sends someone to to spout that kind of corporate nonsense, it doesn't bode well.
I loved the article. I love seeing live music, haven't had a car in a while, so I miss it. Sounds like a good time was had, but you pulled a good read out of it. Thank you for contributing to Kotaku Leigh! Your articles always remind me to check up on Gamasutra.
@SmilingPolitely: For awhile, my comments and replies did not promote automatically, but I could click 'thumbs up' and promote them. That was ideal. I could issue a small correction or make a friendly comment or joke without promoting a whole thread, or even my own minor comment. For now, if somebody spouts something…
@LorenzoDecimus: I sypathize with you, but I'll take the saved time setting up and arguing about the rules. And online games can be a good way to keep in touch with friends who have moved away.
@dmc666: In most cases, you'll have the same luck or better politely asking to speak to a manager/next level manager and explaining your situation and frustration without going ballistic. And you'll feel better.
@kearneybobs: I'm more concerned about xbla/psn games/dlc/movies/tv shows. I would like achievements to stick around. Starting fresh on gamerscore would be fine, but I'd rather the transition be as seamless as possible.
@MisterSleep: It's not the first thing I bring up, but it's hardly the last. If I meet someone new, and they seem cool, I'll definitely bring gaming up. And I wear gaming T-shirts at work.
@xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: I would love to have one on the 360; I would be pretty happy it came to the Wii, though.
