I played back in 2005, and the barrens are still one of my strongest memories, mostly for Crossroads and all the insanity that it would bring. Also the Night Elf starting area, because we had never seen such a lush grand forest before in gaming.

Is Tim capable of speaking normally? Real question, because I have yet to see him even deliver one line without trying to be bat man.

I was in highschool during 1997, and I remember playing FFVII with my buddy at his place with deep nostalgic fondness... but even back then I though the low-poly characters were just terrible. I was terrified until I saw them in combat.

Poor colonial marines. This is a prime example of how a game that dropped the ball and ended up being drawn and quartered for it. I’ve played through it twice, and as an aliens fanboy, it was enjoyable. Disappointing to be sure, but I never saw the hyped trailer until after the fact, and I think that was a big part of…

So is real life. What’s your point? You need that space if you want it to feel more real.

The paper will last but the creases likely won’t. I’m willing to bet there is a clear spray on treatment you could use to reinforce the whole thing.

I’m a total sucker for most of the music; even the ‘Angle’ rip off on the start screen.

It’s times like these that the rose-colored glasses are most obvious. I missed out on SS1, but I grew up in a time when it’s graphics were considered top notch and immersive. SS2 is one of my favorite games and I can go back and play it without seeing how rough it is. But trying to play SS1 without any nostalgia is a…

Man, I grew in a time when doing that would be a $500 gig and you kids do it in half an hour for fun...

Wasn’t one of these suppose to be a real treat in VR? I think it was the trucking one, and I intend to play it eventually.

It’s incredible how much time is spent on practical effects that last less then 30 frames of screen time. Something about production that I’ve always been astonished with.

Feels like they injected Claire’s face with essence of toddler... A controversial extract to begin with.

Pushing that equal opportunity education. I heard she got a degree in dye and textiles.

Think of it the other way around; you’re a huge fan of this artist and you’re emulating his style but you’re not big enough to actually rub elbows. Some fans don’t like the idea of bothering their rolemodels.

Empathy is a skill.

Really..? Am I the psychopath for trying to keep my Sims alive? People who drown them or burn them to death make me.. uncomfortable.

The potential...

It’s hard to stress what it’s like to see a game like that, having lived through a time when you had to flip over a floppy disk to keep playing your game...

Congrats on 400, Chris. You’re my favorite voice on Kotaku, and I hope we continue to see more of you.

I personally feel kids who act- even if it is an act- like that before they’ve even breached puberty will turn out... bad.
