Someone blows their nose, and you want to keep it?

He produces It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and has directed a bunch of episodes, but it does seem strange that he isn't included at all.

Has Adam West even ever been offered a cameo in a modern Batman movie? Shame if not.

C'mon man, we're all here relaxing at io9, enjoying a Watchmen reference and you go all stale meme on us? For shame sir.

"Paul Verhoeven thinks all science fiction films should be converted to 3D"

"That game and its team still holds a special place in my heart, though most of the founders from that day have went their seperate ways."

I liked Kinetica a lot. Somewhere between Ridge Racer and SSX lived Kinetica.

May I have an unbiased comparison of Prototype v. inFAMOUS by someone who's played both titles?

That's Michael K. Williams as Omar Little on HBO's critically acclaimed drama, "The Wire".

I can't help but feel that same strange sense of pride I get anytime I see the 'Burgh mentioned somewhere...

But you haven't played the game.

Because if they did say "Come TEST(and report bugs in) our new shooter from DICE before everyone else.", a lot less would.

"People are going to build an opinion about the game from this demo, and for me and a lot of people it has left a bad taste in my mouth, even if it is enjoyable."

That, I'm honestly not positive, but it seems mostly timing, but also position on the battlefield, position relative to your enemy, etc....

The gameplay is like most action-RPGs, button-linked melees, ranged attacks, magic, with the pace slowed considerably. The repetition is born out of the trial-and-error gameplay. Hack your way to something you can't beat a bunch of times til you figure it out, hack away til you get to the next tough task.

I'm sure the devs wanted to "see how the community/public reacts to..." what the devs provided the community for free, which was the Metro map.

Good points all.

Haven't played myself, but I've been watching my brother play Demon's Souls lately, it's not so much that the game is difficult, it is. It's that the game does not hold your hand and does not forgive mistakes. It's also pretty esoteric when it comes to instruction. If you enjoy repetitive…

The purpose of a beta is not "to win people over". It's to test the product.

Sounded like Pete Serafinowicz to me.
