I think you mean bat/stick fight. A bat-stick fight is how Batman and Nightwing spar.

And none of the indie games are like that. This industry needs room for artists who aren’t at the beck and call of their financial overlords.

Journey? No, but that’s not because it’s indie. That’s because it’s only a couple hours long.

What does a game’s developer have to do with an assessment of its value? A game offers enough entertainment value to be worth its price or it doesn't. Who made the game and who they worked for when they did it don't factor into a value determination.

That’s ridiculous. Some of the best games of the past 10 years have been indies. Whether a game is independently developed or not has not the least bearing on its quality. Games, like any product, should be judged on their own merits. Who made them is irrelevant to any question of their quality.

No, only the biggest companies with the widest reach would be making them, because they’re largely the only ones able to take advantage of the scale of the market. That’s why we need to be able to allow developers like Blow to price their products reasonably (and I think $40 is absolutely reasonable for this game) in…

It is pretty pathetic...that you need your opinions distilled into single words and spoon-fed to you.

I don't understand the rules, so no.

Considering that AAA prices haven’t changed in 15 years despite game production costs going up, we should be seeing $60 indie games. We should also be seeing $80-100 AAA games. You may not like that as a consumer, but in terms of cost/value ratio modern video games are ridiculously cheap, and it's past time that…

Normally I’d agree with you, but she was just as bad as anyone in this episode.

Because the plot was nonsensical and seems to have only the vaguest connection to the original series, the dialogue was terribly written, and the performances from everyone involved, including the leads, were wooden and phoned-in.

After their back-and-forth in front of Svetla's farmhouse when Mulder thinks he's figured things out my girlfriend looked at me as it cut to commercial and asked, "am I wrong, or was that just really bad?"

Slightly off topic, but did anyone else find the acting performances in this premier episode to be frankly terrible? Duchovney is so clearly just cashing a paycheck it's ridiculous.

It's getting funnier the more you complain about it.

When did Steven Tyler get breast implants?

You did.

I found the part where it made you all butthurt and you felt the need to post about it pretty amusing.

I use ad blocker, and I can see it.

That clarifies a bit, but I still have to wonder how exactly they quantify those qualities.

TP had some of the best dungeons in any Zelda game, but everything outside of them was pretty dull and lifeless.
