They poo-poo'd my electric frankfurter.

I'm also playing through on the Vita, I completed everything (except the final boss) a few weeks ago and have just been grinding/monster capturing since. The battle system is great, being able to adjust your party to the enemies is brilliant.

Too easy, need to play hard core and just level up the Aurochs, make it so even poor worthless Datto can score goals.

Agree 100%, at least from the editing it definitely seemed like the third dish killed him. Prior to serving the they showed him having forgotten to add sugar and vinegar to the carrots and trying a last-minute-prayer fix, which he had no time to properly balance. After hearing the chef's comments on that dish I felt…

It's my way or the information superhighway!

I've lamented before, but I miss Gameological 1.0's weekly roundup of games being released. While they touched on the big AAAs, they'd also bring attention to smaller games such as this. So even if there wasn't bandwidth for a full review they could still put these games on people's radar with a short, one paragraph…

Sooo… is that Vampire Scott Auckerman center-left?

This looks interesting, although like other commenters have noted, I'm not sure if it looks $15 interesting. I'm definitely a sucker for gravity based mechanics in games. Even the Angry Birds games which I normally find dull are greatly improved by having to slingshot your ornery avian around some celestial body.

Yes and yes.

Having never played one of the games, are they always riddle dispensing robots in all the games?

This sounds more like a Tokyo-2 project to me…

I think the missions from Dishonored are all great, and the no-kill (although no less disturbing as discussed earlier this week) options, are so intricate. My favorite would be the Pendleton's having two targets and the amount of work to capture both, whether it's electro-shocking the informant for "pleasure" and…

Good choice, but in that vein I'd go with the Couple's Mask in Majora's. The added intricacy of having to do certain things on so many playthroughs really tied it all together.

That was my thought as well, nearly all the non-lethal choices in Dishonored lean closer to fates-worse-than-death than actually killing the target. As you mention the stalker, but also the two brothers having their tongues removed and being forced to work as slaves in a mine isn't much better than putting them out…

But how do you get the tactile response without flailing. Maybe you can turn your head to look around but you're still either flailing with power-gloves on some sort of Omni-directional treadmill, or you're just sitting there with a controller in your hands as has been done since the '80s.

Hmm, that's a good idea, the only other game I did that for was GTAIV, by gummit it's been a while.

True, the prices at the current levels aren't dealbreakers, and there are discounts. But in order to obtain the ubiquity that @avclub-2083dc2814390552559adf803b77ef08:disqus mentions, where a family may have the opportunity to decide between regular television or interactive storytelling, when a family has already…

I think this is a great point, the other issue that needs to be hammered out is pricing as well. Although everyone (rightfully) complains about the cost of a cable subscription, I think once they've paid they get it all. Paying $5-per-episode of this new medium could be a high bar to entry for many, there's often a…

I spent a lot of time trying to find out how to unlock Luigi in Mario 64, some special way you jump into the volcano in that magma world.

Hurt so good?
