But, since there are a lot of cases where you can’t get old DLC as a package deal, and since there are plenty of cases where even very old pieces of DLC never see deep discounts, I can see a value to a program that lets you use what DLC you buy on whichever platform you’re playing on.

I own quite a few games on both XB360 and PC, and I bought them later on PC once my desktop could really run games well. I did so largely for the better resolution and the ability to add mods (XCOM on PC with mods can be a whole new experience). I would have enjoyed a cross-buy DLC plan for 360 because I keep wanting…

Endless respawns may have been what killed my enthusiasm for Bioshock. Allow me to explain:

Add me to the bandwagon that thinks this was never what Tomb Raider was supposed to be about. This was an action-adventure game series about exploration, puzzle-solving, platforming, and survival in harsh environments. It was about discovery! It was about awe and wonder around every corner! Now it’s just another…

Yeah, just dys-topia right ‘ere. Not dat topia, not d’other topia, just DYStopia!

This is one of my favorite things I’ve read ever. As a big supporter of Superman and a big detractor of virtually every major media presentation of Superman, you’ve done a superb job of distilling down the flaws in the arguments in favor of Batman as the superior hero. Well written, well constructed, and with some of…

I dunno. You have your experience, and I don’t doubt it’s true for you, but it contradicts the majority of what I’ve read from other devs struggling with the consoles. At the very least, it shows it isn’t a cut-and-dried issue. In any case, most successful PC games that don’t require mouse and keyboard to work…

It’s a lot harder (and more expensive) for a small studio to crack in on consoles. They’re probably testing the waters with PC, then planning to port to console if it all works out well enough.

I’m not 100% certain that ANY of his enemies know Nightwing was Robin. As to his age remaining constant over however many years, there’s a few ways it works. First and most difficult is that DC keeps mucking around with how long Batman’s been doing his thing. New52 was pretty strict on the whole “it’s only been ~5…

There was a reason for this. If “Robin” always appeared to be the same person, then Batman’s enemies would see the pair as an unending force. No change, no disruption to their presence - no matter what the villains do, there’s the same Batman and the same Robin showing up night after night.

Nicely done. A little sappy, maybe, but there’s nothing wrong with acorny pun. I wood call it a treemendous joke. Anybody who didn’t enjoy that either hates fun or must’ve had a lobotany.

You know why Hellboy always works? Why it’s been such a beloved series from day one? Because there’s nothing not awesome about a big red monster punching the red, misty sh!t out of Nazis. Nothing. It will work every time, in every style, no matter who does what with it.

It starts feeling like they’re doing the same stories over and over again. I’ve been bored with DC/Marvel for a long time, now. Long sinced moved to primarily reading Image, IDW, Valiant, and other indies, and I haven’t regretted the move once. I loved the big 2 but they don’t love me back anymore, you know what I…

But they can’t handle male/female platonic relationships either. They had to put Superman and Wonder Woman together, busting the greatest platonic m/f friendship in comics. I agree that this feels fanservicey, but then everything they do with Harley seems fanservicey to me. Shrug.

You know, it’s been my experience that the people with the most natural talent, that require the least effort to succeed, often fail to appreciate their success. They’re so used to being able to do whatever they want and still win that the whole endeavor seems trivial. These people almost always turn into d-bags of…

So excited! Not a lot of games have been a more pleasant surprise than XCOM:EU. Not a lot of games I’ve put more hours of my adult life into, either. If they changed nothing but added new levels and extended the plot (such as it was), that would be enough to make it a day-1 purchase for me. Anything above that is…

Jedi hipster dual-wields Labatt’s Blue Lightsabers. Wears Carhartt robes. Uses awesome Force powers you’ve probably never heard of.

A story mode would make me play this game. Much as I love the art style and general design of it all, and really appreciate the total vibe of pure fun TF2 seems to engender, I have no interest in story-less FPS multiplayer shoot-em-ups. But slap a story mode on this and suddenly I have a real reason to look closer and…

Y’know, it’s always the subtle details that bring art to life. The naturalistic detail of this girl having to pull her shorts out of her butt is such a great touch. It’s something you rarely actively think about, but the artist including it gives her such character. This is the difference between a simple pinup and…

Simpsons loses a lot if they lose Shearer. He voices a simply stunning percentage of the characters on the show, and his skills as a voice actor and comedian bring more to the production than anyone will possibly realize until he’s gone.
