Speaking from personal experience, I have many games I wouldn't have bought at all, if not for the fact that they went on sale. I don't have a lot of money, and I can't afford to spend much on games. During the year, there are maybe two or three games that I'm so stoked about that I'll pay full price for. The rest are…

Good God... I keep seeing clips of this game and I'm afraid to play it because I think I would like it WAY too much.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! Great stuff... I was recently re-watching it. John K. voices The Cow as well... fucking brilliant!

Their cereal was pretty good also.

Good catch on Sheogorath! I figured the five characters each related to an Elder Scrolls game, but I couldn't figure out how Oblivion worked into it until you mentioned Sheogorath. I forgot that you assume his title at the end of Shivering Isles. What a great expansion (DLC?) that was!

Proteus was this year, right? Because that game had some really interesting music.

Yes... yes she is. But I can't leave her... she's too much fun.

Far as I'm concerned, you're living the dream. I have a "real job." I would love nothing more than to one day be able to ditch it and be a full-time cartoonist. Doing something you love in your spare time is rewarding, but getting paid for it is ALSO rewarding.

When people say "get a real job" like that, they actually mean "get a shitty job, like mine, because I am jealous of you."

Oh, and judging by this pic that Joel RTed from Tim Schafer, I'd say they actually got along pretty well. https://twitter.com/joelmchale/sta…

I'd be that drunk and antagonistic if I had to spend that much time next to Geoff Keighley too.

Agreed. I remember reading one article bashing the game's combat because the reviewer (I think it was on Kotaku, maybe even Kirk Hamilton) found it too chaotic, because whenever he started shooting he found himself wildly swinging at some melee opponent who'd just flanked him. He'd scramble away and scrounge for more…

See, I think a lot of people hating on Infinite's gameplay never upped the difficulty past "normal". Because you could totally just blast your way through, willy nilly, on "normal," and I can see that getting old fast. On "hard" or "1999" it was way more fun, because you needed to use vigor combos and your environment…

No, me too! It was definitely more "arcadey" than something like Counterstrike or Arma, but I really liked Infinite's gameplay. On the higher difficulty settings, you're forced to use the environment and your vigors to their full potential.

Yeah, I'm pretty psyched about the Steam Box. I plan on building a cheap one as a media center for my TV (or buying one, if the price is right), and if their streaming capability works like they're hinting it will, I'll stream my games from the gaming rig in my room to the TV.

Yeah, I keep seeing people post with their woes of getting a game to work on their PC, and I just haven't had that happen to me in a very long time. I'm not saying their problems aren't real, I'm just saying it's not my experience with PC gaming at all. Yesterday I bought a digital copy of Farcry 3 on Amazon for…

Abso-fucking-lutely. Aim assist? Please. I used it for the first couple weeks when I got a 360 controller for my PC, and then I took the training wheels off. It's all about adjusting the stick sensitivity to your liking.

I said it earlier in the comments, but it's probably more apt here; the author ignores the fact that the lines between PCs and consoles are blurring every year. Consoles are becoming more like media centers and hence more complicated to set up "out of the box," and buying/installing a PC is MUCH easier than it used to…
