I got Army Men and Toy Soldiers confused. Never played Toy Soldiers. Army Men was great though. If memory serves, it was 16 years ago.

I’ve never been to Japan. But when I go if there aren’t sakura blossoms constantly flying around everywhere at all times... well color me dissapointed.

Surprised there is no comparison for environments. The Witcher is better at creating a believable world with cities that feel like cities. But Dragon Age Inquisition had more variety in types of levels you could explore. Forests, deserts, frozen wastelands etc... It would be a close call but I’d probably give the nod…

Way back I designed the website for the Darkness. I put easter eggs in where if you shot out the lights in the background, you’d access secret schwag downloads. I’m not sure if anyone ever figured it out. If they did I never heard about it.

In most cases the more successful you are the more people hate you. Unless you are Bill Murray... or Oprah. I don’t think I’ve heard many hate filled comments about either.

Quake II had verticality. Quake III went pretty nuts with the jump pads... in a good way. I would guess the author is making a reference to those games. Grabbing and hoisting on the other hand, not so much.

I don’t think I’ve ever played multiplayer Doom. Quake III for sure but Doom... Don’t think so.

Time it took for me to realize what a bad idea the Ouya was after hearing about it for the first time. .005 seconds. Give or take a few milliseconds.

Fallout Shelter is fun for the first week or two. Once you get 100 dwellers it becomes kind of pointless.

I’ve been slowly plodding through the game. My friend told me you can nerf the game if you don’t pay attention to the level caps so I’ve been trying to take out early missions while still close in level. Even still I feel like I have to be one level higher than the suggested level to stand a chance. In my earlier play…

The Last of Us is a 7 out of 10 tops. It’s really not that clever, or fun for that matter. It’s super linear. There are times the only way to proceed is to kill everyone and everything. I didn’t find the story really all that interesting either, although there are some memorable moments. The very beginning sequence is…

UFC guys seem to have something against dodging and blocking. The Lawler fight was basically two guys punching each other in the face until one fell over.

The Witcher 3 UI has been patched I believe. They are constantly making improvements, which is good because the UI had enormous potential for improvement. I saw patch notes where they addressed a lot of the menu issues like sorting, small fonts, and what not.

It doesn’t look that great, I have to agree. It kind of looks like they just used the old rigs and animations from THPS3. Making your own park is kind of cool. Also it doesn’t seem very hardcore. I didn’t see anything in there that made me think of actual skateboarding. If it plays like THPS2 then, all is good.

I hated Dorian. I barely used him on missions and any time I tried to talk to him he’d just sexually harass me. Yeah, awesome character.

I was hoping “alternate look for Triss” meant she was going to revert to the look from the Witcher 2. I prefer the older looking Triss model to the new one. She seems too young and kid like in the Witcher 3. Can’t get into it, gotta go with Yen.

I would just like to add that Tim Cain was for the most part, the visionary behind the first two Fallouts. He also worked on Vampire Masquerade: Bloodlines, and he worked on Pillars of Eternity. All four games are mentioned in this article yet his name is curiously absent. It’s interesting (sad) that Tim Cain isn’t…

Shadow of Mordor made a great first impression but it didn’t really go anywhere. I kept hoping for some big pay off at the end. Maybe fight some Warg Riders, some Nazgul... but no.

fourth image from the top looks so Moebius!

The F-35’s nickname is lightning... which is kind of ironic since it isn’t very fast.... and it can’t fly in bad weather.
