I get what they were trying to do, but it felt like they just botched the pacing and made everything about double the length it needed to be to get the same impact.

Any guesses if/when Minecraft and it's mods will enable regular gameplay to look as nice as this?

That's not to say that Battleborn will have scads of procedurally generated playable characters. It's going to have around 20, possibly more, nine of which we've seen so far. No, what Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford means when he talks about Battleborn's protagonists is the idea that these personas will be the items that…

These mind games can be powerful. Before the character was added, a $35-dollar cosmetic item that would accompany his release was going to add a seemingly harmless new ability: planting a warning sign that enemies could see. The sign itself did nothing, but the potential tricks you could play with the sign (stick the…

Is it just me, or does it seem like final smashes for this look like they mostly do a lot less damage than those on Brawl? Brawl's seemed to nearly all be one-hit KO attacks.

Ok, what in the sweet hell is this thing supposed to be?

Having chewed my way through up to Episode 10 in a single evening, you have my sincere thanks. This was exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

Haven't seen Elfen Leid, Stein's Gate, or FMA Brotherhood, but have seen and liked FMA. I'll give the Darker than Black a try too. Thanks!

Question: Does anyone have other anime they'd recommend that are very much in the vein of GitS? I've been looking for some, but can't seem to find any that have that mix of investigation/cyberpunk/(canned) philosophy, or even hit the approximate notes.

"Hey, this actually looks like a really fuNOPENOPENOPE."

I find it kind of weird that the LEGO Batman games are more and more being the LEGO DC Universe games, but pleasantly pleased they are doing so despite the increasingly-unwieldy names.

The truly nutty part? All of this will be free. And while there will of course be items to purchase with real world money (gotta keep the game afloat somehow), Holzapfel said he desperately wants to avoid selling players anything that impacts gameplay:

"We wanted to do something different, but we know people expect a good story from us after Spec Ops," said Holzapfel. "We've got multiple writers including Dan Abnett, who co-wrote what eventually became a Guardians of the Galaxy series."

See, I can't wait until people start doing this sort of live-action show, but with this level of mocap:

I don't get sick often, but the last time or two I did, it was Shadowrun Returns binging (After forgetting I'd pledged for it in the first place until I got an email telling me about the original-not-director's-cut Dragonfall), and Broforce.

"The comments on any article about [stopping misogyny] justify [stopping misogyny]."

Goddamit, it is too early for me to be laughing about AoT.

ocremix.org has some good selections too, even if a lot of their stuff tends to drift heavily into trance/electronica/hip-hop. I especially like the remix Generations:

It is now 2014 and, friends, I am here to tell you that trash options are bullshit.
