So I've heard quite often, thanks!

Indeed, both games could surprise us in good ways and bad. But I'm more impressed by what the Far Cry 3 devs are saying, even as the E3 video personally bored me so much that I could hardly stand to watch it.

I think this sort of "making the player feel like an endangered victim" approach may turn out to work better than that in the new Tomb Raider. Hopefully the transition to being able to really aim and fire a weapon well is a smooth (and maybe even long) one.

Especially considering it originally launched at 599 U.S. dollars. :-D I would be very impressed!

Thanks! I don't have a PSP, though I've seriously thought about getting one to play Crisis Core. A friend of mine has been trying to get me to buy his at a very low price (~$30) anyway.

Hearting is still possible, but I would have never known this if I hadn't been told. Hover your mouse over someone's profile picture. The heart option will pop up.

"The parts of VII [that] were Midgar, XIII was basically that."

You are correct in your grammar, though I still see that form every so often, such as here.

Edit: Never mind.

Hmm, thanks.

This sounds pretty interesting.

The Google TV idea is especially interesting, since the Xbox 360's Hulu Plus and HBO GO things require Xbox Live Gold (which isn't free—couldn't I just use Hulu and HBO GO on a computer?).

I can't help but wonder if we're basically going to be playing browser games on this thing, especially if it's an Android platform.

Slapping Joffrey? Guilty pleasure. Emphasis on both parts. Also, needs more Hodor. Or Tyrion. (Forgive me if they were in the video and I missed it, since I didn't watch it in order to avoid spoilers.)

Hmm. Fair enough, thank you very much! I may read Storm of Swords at some point, but right now I think I'm a bit burned out on the series (since I had to push myself through Clash of Kings in order to get it back to the library on time—though I will say it ended excellently, much better in my opinion than the first…

... Really? $30? That's not bad at all. Thank you! (Granted, I guess I could just use the portable hard drive I have already?)

I forgot about that option. I do have a 160GB portable hard drive if that will work.

Mine did get the red rings (purchased in January 2008), but whenever that happened, the console was still very much inside of the warranty period for E74 errors. Thankfully I've had no serious issues since. Microsoft's customer service was amazing (had my Xbox back within a week for less than $5 shipping), thank God…

This is gonna be fun. I have less than 1 GB of space left on my 20GB hard drive.

I do wish I'd enjoyed the Sonny series of Flash games more than I did, because the concept was wonderful—the games are essentially short little turn-based RPGs where your main character is a talking, thinking zombie. The story made less and less sense as it went on, but the concept of having a zombie for a good guy…
