Not to mention that Meryl was a captured soldier, not a helpless princess.

I believe you just opened the tray and put the new disc in. There was no need to save first. I think my game froze around Sniper Wolf’s fight... I was already frustrated at that point, I couldn’t imagine having to start all over again...

Same here. I woke up the next morning and was very quickly brought to the torture scene, which I refused to proceed with until I had beaten it (and I was sure it could be beaten!). I spent another several hours on that sequence unsuccessfully, if recollection serves...

If you read the top of the article, you’d see that the point of the book is only partially about what this particular game did wrong (and only in a minor way). It seems to be more about what made the game fantastic and how games (but new creations and MGS games) have not followed in the footsteps of the original in…

It could be that this incident is merely the straw that broke the camel’s back, and that people have been concerned about this kind of thing since the Iron Man invention destroyed an entire city, and the Hulk leveled some of another one. What happened in Sokovia is clearly more of a catastrophe than some people dying…

I’m generally pretty friendly online (though will be creepy and just start following people for long stretches of time...) but we’ve been conditioned that when a person comes up to you it is better to be safe than sorry. I can’t tell you how often I’ll get out of doing a heist with people only to spawn next to them…

Why would it select the last time you were asleep? Why would that matter to the Omega or the time traveling process, and how would it know when the last time he slept was. In fact, it could jump him back to 5 minutes after he is knocked unconscious and he just doesn’t wake up until the army base. And why would it…

Just to make sure we’re all on the same page, the Alpha are the blue soldiers, one of which Tom Cruise killed at the beginning of the movie. The Omega is the large creature that they were trying to hunt down and killed at the end of the movie.

Right before that final assault they went to the base and told them that…

The Omega was the one that could control time, not the Alpha. We don’t know anything about the Omega, other than the involuntary reflex to restart time should one of the Alphas die. But most would consider breathing to be an involuntary reflex (as in we do it without consciously thinking about it and if we were to try…

When.... was it established that it was the last time you were asleep? Madam Badass certainly didn’t say as much, and we didn’t see any Alpha’s waking up from a fresh nap when they were killed... we only know that Tom Cruise’s character woke up in the same spot over and over again. If fact, this happened the day…

I saw no reason to feel like it was a cop-out. The movie ran a wide gambit of both mirth and despair, and the movie ended with an easily explainable in-story reason for his final circumstances. Tom Cruise is not known as the savior of humanity, nor can he prove to the woman he’s grown to care for that they’re a good…

It wasn’t just you. I loved the first Crackdown game, but the second one focused on what was essentially a “flood” type character. Those enemies were no fun to play against. Add to that the real lack of a motivation for the singleplayer (turn on “disruptors (or whatever they were) and bring down the hive... and then…

I disagree wholeheartedly with your assessment.

Same Track. New Tactics.

A new game mode will always provide new tactics, so that’s hardly something that shows as a benefit to using the same tracks. The fact that they’re actually using tracks is fairly lazy, despite your defense as supposed corners. Mario Kart 64, the…

So would the library of congress! There are some bits that maybe look a little better with updated graphics, but there is so much that looks so much worse that I would just prefer the originals. Classic movies that were well edited and had a lack of clutter in frame. I still have my video cassettes, but it’s been so…

Star Wars releases!!!.... Oh... no non-”lucas-fied” editions... nevermind...

See, the fact that you have to say this clearly points out how deluded you are. People clearly do give a shit. So how about hopping off your soap box until you can say something that isn’t such a blatant lie?

I get a $10 coupon in the mail every couple of weeks... it’s not so bad.

I’m glad you liked it, my friend. Along those same lines, I offer you this video (if you perchance have not seen it). One of my favorites and is along those same lines of humor...

Temperature control is actually pretty important, though I can’t say a cool liquid hurts. Oh, and something to listen to! I shouldn’t be left alone with my thoughts...

Well... remove the Empire’s ability to have reskinned jets and helicopters, and make the X-wings into snowspeeders. That’s much less work than what they’re currently doing...
