Is it better than giving them no choice about whether they live or die?

I think it comes down to informed consent. There was no time to get that in this case. When faced with a drastically reduced quality of life and death, I think it's critical to allow the person to chose after being apprised of all the risks. I think that Liv was right to make her decision, but I don't think Major…

My understanding is that the game pad is one of the main reasons the Wii-U is as expensive as it is.

Weird. But even if that is the case, Major or you could always choose death after the fact.

What feature that you had to cut from your game do you most wish you could have kept and why was it cut?

I think the contribution comes in density as well as pure size.

I'd say that open world games are the best argument for more ram. It allows you to get better AI and larger, more populated worlds.

I think the tech you mentioned is from the consoles that have "lost" the generation.

I think this is an interesting post. Because I'm not sure that Nintendo is all that casual. Mario Kart and other 1st party games seem casual to us, but they are only that way if you already know how video games work.

I think that's a great analogy. But I'd your options were HIV or death which would you choose?

All seven of them.

Nintendo at this point is just shamelessly pandering to nostalgia. It's ceiling of games worth buying is extremely limited due to nonexistent third party support, and given the success of the Wii it's doubly confusing as they seem to have abandoned the more casual gamer niche they filled so well last generation.

I have no doubt that there will be more drama surrounding the Major and the cure.

Nintendo's strategy doesn't make any sense to me. They seem to be prioritizing expensive gimmicks (now as it ever was) instead of just making a boring console that does a great job playing games. It doesn't seem to me that the game pad has any reason to exist, and if you got rid of it, I bet your could cut that MSRP…

Absolutely. It's a good sign when you find yourself in situations where what you (selfishly) want and what is morally right are in perfect alignment.

It was selfish, but it also happens to be the right thing to do. She knows that Major doesn't like zombies, but suicide allows Major to make a choice instead of having Blaine make one for him.

I'm not convinced some that these moral choices are that horrible. Seems to me faced with saving someone by giving them a perfectly manageable disease or just letting them die that giving them the disease is the better option. After all if Major doesn't like the choice, he could always just kill himself afterwards.…

Have you tried starting in 1066 in Ireland, and watching a let's play?

Last time I checked, I think you have roughly a 20% chance of a genius when two geniuses breed.

That sounds great. There is some discussion of games that allow you to project your own stories on them. In my experience, no game is as fertile a story generator as CK2.
