This just in: Microsoft and Sony are collaborating on TWO NEW combined consoles, the PSBox720 and the XS460.

Do the tutorials. Start a game as a Duke in a stable country. I personally like the Duke of Toulouse in France. Don't try to play as King or Emperor on your first try, there is just too much going on for a new player to understand.

Actually could have. A bad punt ends up at like 50, they go for a fair catch kick, which is essentially a free kick for a field goal to tie the game. A 70 yard kick is actually possible on a free catch considering Akers could almost put regular kickoffs through the uprights.

I agree with you on The Walking Dead. The choices and small puzzles are the main gameplay elements as opposed to the fighting.

What is unfair about it? That you don't get to feel as good about yourself because somebody skipped a level? There is nothing unfair here. My experience through a game is going to differ than yours anyways if I get stuck on a level for an hour and stop playing it.

I agree, I was making a joke about how everyone jumps on hate bandwagons, aka how everyone I know hates Dragon Age II or Blops2 without ever touching it

Hate things based on what other people hate. Duh. Don't form your own opinions. This is the Internet, Hive Mind it up.

The difference is people are willing to pay more for a car because some believe the experience is drastically different in a Ferrari than in a Toyota/Kia/Honda/Ford. Some people don't notice a difference and just want to look better/richer.

I'm assuming you mean this in a good way, hard to tell.

Actually sports are revised all the time. Basketball didn't have a 3pt line for most of its existence. MLB put in the DH. NHL had the giant rule overhaul a few years ago removing ties. NFL changed kickoff spot, etc.

Maybe some people just aren't as good at games and still want to play. Maybe they want to struggle as hard and want to beat it quicker because they have less free time than you. If you enjoy something, why don't you want everyone else to be able to experience it?

Why? I would love for my girlfriend to play games like FF6 and experience the story, yet she HATES random encounters. Grinding to her is the biggest waste of time, especially because none of the battles are hard. Why not throw a few major battles that take time and skill instead of a hundred battles?

So you'd rather have a developer spend countless hours making levels that no one will ever see?Many people don't finish games. For me this happens most often when I get stuck on a part and it frustrates me to the point where I play something else. The Fade in Dragon Age comes to mind first, I dropped the game for…

You underestimate how much money Glee makes off these songs. That's why the show went to shit, they turned it into "let's cover and sell pop songs" and wrote episodes around the songs rather than vice versa. Glee has become the top selling "artist." Makes me depressed to think about.

The Glee version is on sale in iTunes. As a big fan of Joco my response to this is WHAT THE FUCK HOW CAN THEY LEGALLY DO THIS WITHOUT ASKING HIM?

Relegation would interesting in US Professional Sports, but would never happen. If a big market team had a bad year (Red Sox last year, Lakers now, etc.) and a lower market gets bumped up the ratings for the entire league would drop, sales go down, less money overall etc.

Company of Heroes: Total War. I want.

Since the kicker never knows if he's going to get iced, they just go out and play through it. I think the defense should also play through the whistle then and try for the block. That could be more effective at getting in the kicker/holder's head.

I thought the exact same thing. It reminded of how KG always goaltends after whistle shots in the NBA. Since the game was on timeout, why not have a few players just go stand in front of the kicker. If the ref tries to stop them, they'll also stop the kicker. So its win-win. Minus looking like a dickhead, but you…
