Quarian Naming Conventions:

Yeah they're all very involved, the entire creative team is in house as is the cast. Lots of familiar voices. Monty and his animation team have also done a great deal for RvB. It is the creative brainchild of Monty, Miles, and Kerry, though. RWBY is very much their flagship series, even moreso than RvB now.

Generally with Nintendo hardware its not so much that there are endemic defects, but one or two obvious design flaws. The poor quality of the copper contacts in the NES cart slot, obviously the N64's controller for mutants, the GameCube's weird c-stick and button layout, the Wii not having its own regular ass…

No, the manual states that the light will in fact blink red if the console is overheating. It will shut itself off if you do nothing but its supposed to give you a chance to save your game or otherwise quickly finish up before hitting the power button.

I was a total misanthropist until last year. I thought that the world was a place where only the most ruthless and amoral people would ever find success. A lot had gone wrong in my life but not nearly as much as was about to. See, my birthday present from the universe last year was an extremely aggressive form of…

Great call on his "Shepard! My friend!" line. You really get the sense that for all their pain, their brutality, their history, the Krogan are capable of tremendous warmth. If Wrex survives ME1 you get the sense that even with the weight of his world on his shoulders he will always consider Shepard to be family.

I don't know, I do know it was Ken Levine's facebook profile pic for a long time. I just love that picture.

Except that I did pay attention to her backstory and the way she acts makes perfect sense for someone who is suddenly free after a life of imprisonment. She ain't exactly all smiles and rainbows, either. She's damaged, vulnerable, scared, but unlike Rei, she's human.

I keep watching Orphan Black waiting for his character to discuss the definition of insanity. Underrated actor.

Presented without comment.

Best JRPG character of the generation, to my mind.

Why on earth would anyone actually write a character like Rei Ayanami? She's a blank slate, a non-entity. For the purposes of Eva that's fine, it makes sense. For the purposes of a game like Bioshock Infinite, that would be horrible.

Best Nathan Drake moment:

Agree, especially on Elena. She is, to my mind, perhaps the best female supporting character in modern games. It is my distinct hope that when the inevitable Uncharted 4 is announced, she takes over for Drake as protagonist.

Seconded. My favorite memory? Shooting bottles on the Presidium with the best friend a video game has ever given me. Many companion characters are interesting, but Garrus earns the respect, admiration, and friendship of not just Shepard, but the player, in a way no one else comes close to.

Character: Ezio Auditore

Jim Raynor was Malcolm Reynolds before Malcolm Reynolds even existed. Something about the way he says "darlin" is just perfect.

Yeah, I'm cancer-free now, thankfully. It is totally underrated, the sleek uniball configuration can be far more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing than the factory default, though surgical scars can require explanation.

Hold on a moment, let me check something.

You can return to the bridge after the Pokemon league and he will be waiting for you, no flute needed.
