Since every time I hear something about Keanu Reeves's personal life, it sounds like he was built from scratch by sad country singers, it is my hope that he attains success in this, his latest endeavor.

You can see why, actually.

I have absolutely no idea how I managed to finish this game, back in the day. I remember carefully draining spells off random encounters for what must have been hours at a time.

After the comics' "All Out War" arc, I'm surprised the show would bother building up to Negan with this much enthusiasm. It's not like he was that amazing.

If there isn't a podcast or something called "Coy on Butt Stuff," why not? Someone has some explaining to do.

Invulnerable or not, it seems like a millennia-old warrior culture would have figured out by now that you want something thick and protective covering your femoral arteries. They look good, but sometimes that ain't enough.

Staring down the heat death of the universe, Tom Green dares the principle of entropy itself to say that it did not derive a single laugh from Freddy Got Fingered.

If nothing else, it'd be worth it to hear somebody cover the Maniac Cop rap song.

You were talking about flaws you perceived in its narrative without having a full experience of the narrative, that's all. When you say "all they show you" is the village, you don't know about, for example, the village of subsistence farmers in the mid-game.

My point isn't that I think you're making a value judgment; it's that your incomplete experience with the narrative has flawed your opinion.

I wouldn't go that far. RE5 has a general theme running through it of competence being barely enough to keep you alive in the face of its opposition. Two separate full military fire teams get wiped out offscreen by the same guys you're fighting, and the executioner fight at the start is easily enough to overcome you

Deus Ex: Human Revolution kinda did.

If you haven't played any Fatal Frame games, fix that. You'd probably really enjoy the first and second, and the third's okay. The fourth and fifth are notoriously poor, however.

No, I played a lot of Outbreak online, and it could be a lot of fun if a lot of disparate factors lined up perfectly.

They're all basically ciphers, but they have their moments. Leon is a competent, self-assured, well-trained utter dork, for example; he can kill a thousand zombies by himself in fifteen minutes and his hair will still be amazing, but he will die single and he's never been in a vehicle that didn't crash within five

How much of it did you play? The opening level spells it out for you: the dudes in the village initially appear hostile, but then you stumble across two of them infecting a third with a parasite. Chris (and the player, likely) has seen this before, and says as much. As you're pursued through the village by an angry

I used to use a picture of Agent 47 the Clown as my avatar in every forum that would let me.

Dude, RE5 is explicitly about the corporate depopulation of an entire autonomous zone in Africa. You can turn the entire thing into a metaphor for European colonization of the African continent without having to try very hard.

It's not bad, but it's also not necessary; in order to do what it does, it contradicts and rewrites a lot of what came before it. People who got deeply into the original game's lore are going to hate it on base principle.

Outbreak is way ahead of its time, IMO. The infrastructure to support it wasn't there (the hand-coded matchmaking back-end was so bad, you guys, even by the standards of 2004) and not including voice chat support was a huge mistake (the Hive level in the hospital suffers for it, because you need to be able to
