Hell yeah, new Glitch review!

This is as good a place as any to complain that my personal favourite movie of the decade, ParaNorman, didn't even sneak in to the top 100 here. If anyone needs be I'll be tearfully reassuring myself that it was a shoe-in for the 101st spot.

Argh, this is the exact reason I never managed to finish Beyond Good And Evil. I made it all the way to the final area, but while I was there I somehow accidentally triggered some cutscenes out of order by doubling back on myself, and I couldn't get the game to progress any farther. I didn't have a save from before…

Bravely Default is my unfinished game that I have absolutely no desire to finish one day. Actually, I have quite a few of those these days- Bioshock Infinite, Sonic Lost World, Fez, etc. I don't know exactly when I became mature enough to just give up on a game that was no longer enjoyable for me, but I'm much happier…

Speaking of 80's cyborgs, (well, robots really) I just found a Youtube channel that has a terrific rundown of Blade Runner. Blade Runner and RoboCop (and, as AJ points out, Deus Ex) are interesting companions in that they argue that robotics seem to amplify, rather than minimize, what makes us really human. For…

An 8/12 multi-Doctor story would set my life on fire. Capaldi and McGann have even worked together before! It's to weird to think that they're nearly the same age, Paul looks 20 years younger than Peter.

'fraid so. Collecting all the recipes is one of the most weirdly difficult things to do anyway. Many of them become permanently missable if you don't get them when you have the chance (either by losing a cook-off or not talking to the right NPC at the right time) and at least one can only be collected if you import a…

Ordinarily the best and most memorable villains are the complex, tragic, understandable ones, the ones whose decisions make an uncomfortable amount of sense, or who are so similar in personality and temperament to the protagonist that only the slightest of circumstances sent them down the opposed paths of being a hero…

I think I've played Bastion to completion a dozen times by now, so "samey if you've played Bastion" sounds like the ultimate endorsement to me.

Sort of, just not as severe. With Tomb Raider, as far as I know, it's being left deliberately unclear whether it will get a PlayStation release at all, but the Jaws of Hakkon DLC is confirmed to be coming to PS4… eventually. I'm not even hugely annoyed about the timed exclusivity of the content, that's just a cruddy…

MAN do I ever want to play Jaws of Hakkon. I hope the PS4 embargo is a matter of days or weeks, not months or years. I'd ordinarily think it would be insane to delay something that long, but apparently Microsoft's agreement with EA prevents Bioware from even mentioning when it'll be available. It comes with a new…

Yesssss, come into the Suikoden-lovers' fold my child. Revel in the incredible music, rend your loins at the drama, run with the push of a button, join ussssss.

Autobiographical fun fact: Arthur Rackham is my favourite illustrator. I have a standing policy of buying any book I can find that contains any of his work. I was first turned on to him researching a paper about Yoshitaka Amano, actually. Rackham, Kay Nielsen, and Edmund Dulac are among my faves, but my heart really…

Is Proof Of Youth not on iTunes or something? I only recently discovered Milk Crisis and wanted to pick up the bonus tracks legitimately, but it's the only album of theirs I can't find on the store. Maybe it's not available in Canada for some reason? If I listen to it through Youtube any more I'm going to end up…

Yesssss, give me more Go! Team, give it all to me, good God I can't wait. I know there are lots of very sensitive, very serious young people who claim that their innermost souls sound like Elliott Smith or Feist or something, but I've always felt that if you put a stethoscope up to my manipura chakra or whatever you'd…

Out of curiosity, though, what does science say the top five FFs are?

I did, but it's not as significant a leap forwards for representation as it sounds. She looks like this. Still pretty cool in theory. In execution… yikes.

Counterpoint: you are wrong, all hail FFIX.

GLITCH!

I think there's definitely some substance to the argument that a lot of the hand-wringing over what "counts" as Final Fantasy, or what's "truly" Final Fantasy can be attributed to nostalgia. It's probably no coincidence that the games that are generally considered to be a part of the Golden Age (anywhere from IV to X,…
