I beat AP twice and never had any problems with it either. I actually really enjoyed the game, aside from my main characters not looking as bad ass as he talked.

Well, what Kotick said aside, the problem for the Wii U hasn't been system sales, it's been game sales. Not even NSMBU could break the ton 10 charts, and CoD:BO2 for the WiiU has less that 2k people playing online.

90% of Dead Space 3. Or Lost Planet. They're mostly the same game...

For the PS3, they could add the function to connect your Vita and use that as the touch screen, right?

You could play his father.

There were crowds on two of the three missions he goes on. They were most helpful in the Brazil mission, where'd they'd talk to you if you got close.

Huh, never thought of it that way. To me, it was always evocative of kingdoms rising and falling, which is certainly a major theme of the books.

Alen Wake was exclusive to 360 for a few years, just like Mass Effect I was. There were some great exclusives back when, like Fable II, Forza, and Saints Row, but a bunch of their exclusives aren't so... exclusive anymore.

I think they already have most of the money they'd earn from the game anyway. Everyone who really wanted it already payed for it on Kickstarter.

As great of a money making scheme as I think this is, they probably should have waited a few months before announcing this one. I don't think they've even released all of the waves of giants yet.

I bought my 360 in '05, and it quit on me right after that. Microsoft said the red rings weren't covered in warranty, so I bought a new one. I picked up a bigger hard drive and a wireless adapter along the way, and that on lasted until they released the slim, which I upgraded to. So since '05, I spent ~$1400 on my…

Just some character art and location images. Maybe ~20 pages.

I never had to be trained when I bought my first gun. They did a ~5 minute background check and sold it to me.

Lens flares and Lightsabers were meant to be together.

I played through X-Com and without restarting when I lost people. It was terrible watching my sister get torn to shreds by a Chrysalid and then come back as a zombie :/

The last few weeks it's been in the 70s here in Central Florida, though we had a bit of warmth on Christmas, when it almost hit 90.

I find none of this to be outside the real of possibility.

Incoming Microsoft announcement for Feb. 19th?

That is some incredible balance. Only one toe on the rim of a ship, and lightly hanging on to a wire.
