This image just makes me mourn the Edgar Wright version we'll never get. I know it's just one still, but the color palette and moody dude-in-a-hoodie vibe just screams "generic Marvel product #208" to me.

You have to remember that quicktime events weren't annoyingly ubiquitous when RE4 came out. At the time, they were just a cool way to spice up cutscenes and boss fights. I remember loving the QTE knife fight with Krauser.

I remember watching my friend play the opening level for the first time, both of us going, "Oh shit oh shit" for the entire fight. Then it stops, and the game's all, "Title screen! That was just the prologue." That's when we knew we were in the presence of greatness.

Ugh, RE6 was so terrible.

Hey. It's that dog.

I had a ridiculous time with O&S—between them and the jerks who'd invade me on my way between the bonfire and the fog door, I actually did run out of humanity at one point. I eventually realized that my Lightning Spear +4 just wasn't doing enough damage and was too fiddly to actually connect on any hits anyway, so I…

Thanks a bunch! My Steam username is nazgul3791 (I know, I know. I made it a loooong time ago). I'm getting a lot out of the Dark Souls thread too.

Wait, there's a Gameological group on Steam for Dark Souls? I mostly lurk 'round these parts, but I would love to have a Steam group for this game. Maybe it's just me, but Dark Souls for PC seems pretty desolate, multiplayer-wise, relative to the invasion-fests and summoning bonanzas I hear about with the console…

The Call of Cthulhu silent adaptation is probably the gold standard as far as straight-up Lovecraft adaptations go. They got the atmosphere and visuals exactly right, and on a tiny budget too.

Nah, whenever the book actually concentrates on the main plot, it's pretty dull. For the first time in forever, King wrote a book where the characters (or at least their relationships) were more interesting than the plot. He must not have realized it, though, because he kept interrupting a pretty sweet love story with…

I'm guessing @elmarinero:disqus might be referring to the laughable bit where the protagonist succeeds in offing Oswald, only to return to the future and discover that *GASP* Kennedy's survival changed the entire future and everything is terrible now! It's such a cliched twist, but King treats it as if he's the only…

I'm as cynical about HBO t&a as the next guy, but I thought it served a purpose in this case. Starting out with a scene that's sexy and funny makes the gut-punch of the concentration-camp discovery land all the harder.

My friend wrote a review of it over here this week: http://islaythedragon.com/f…

Guns don't kill people. Blood loss and organ damage do.

Well, technically you can only buy one black-market tile per turn, so buy/placing two in one turn might have been against the rules. Still, though, your score must have been insane.

Well, the great thing about CoB is that nothing is truly "necessary"; you can win with just about any strategy. But getting an early mine is such a big help, and newbies so often undervalue them at first, that I usually try to play up their importance—or at least the importance of having silver—when I teach the game.

Castles of Burgundy is amazing. Its rank on BGG is well deserved.

I could never get past this one part in the second stage of Nightmare Land. There's a platform underneath a ceiling that has firespouts, and you need the Frog Suit in order to be able to jump high enough to reach the next platform, but I always thought the Frog looked too bulky to fit underneath the firespouts. I…

The Bourne Identity's car chase is pretty great.

I'm honestly not trying to imply anything here, but does anyone think that Marc Maron and Frank Zappa look kind of like each other?
