"Videogame that helps people forge stronger relationship with pigs?"

Haha, so true.

You = invincible. AI companion = vincible. Game = escort quest. Me = uninterested.

Skyrim was immersive enough, and had tons of dialogue (and monologuing - shut up already, Parathax); Portal 2 had scads of witty lines that artfully reference the mother / daughter relationship at the game's heart; but I think Uncharted 3 had the best writing of 2011. The believable discourse and even minor…

I do not like the way they've jacked Ryu from SF to SF2 to Alpha to SF3 to SFIV. In the next game, they're just going to motion cap a fridge.

What kinda man are you? Ah, you're weak... Spineless... A man of temptations... But what tempts you? You're a portly fellow. Long in the waistband. So what's your pleasure? Is it the salty snacks you crave? Nah, no no no no. Yours is a sweet tooth. Oh you may stray, but you'll always return to your dark master: the…

I haven't altered the difficulty at all - I'm going to now, though! It totally slipped my mind.

I think my file's around 10mb (~70 hours?) and I haven't had any lag issues, save a few times in Whiterun, but that usually lasts a second and is then silky smooth. I've long since completed the Mage College quest and Dragonborn main campaign. I'm so powerful right now I've lost interest in the game because I can…

Ken's a genius. I live in Boston, and I'm always hopeful I'll run into him. Now I know I should be looking in Berry Freeze.

I had explored quite a lot, and I'd done some miscellaneous things. The playtime before the sound cut out was ~60 hours, literally exactly after (spoiler) Prax-what's-his-thus is like "Good job! Later!" This was on the PS3, which I had read beforehand was a lag-ridden mess, but I experienced only a scant bit of…

So, I beat Skyrim last night (the main quest - before which I'd completed the College of Winterhold), and didn't experience a single bug until I did. Now there's no sound on any of my files. But still, what a ride.

I just beat Skyrim and it was totally great! Weird, though, after completing the main questline (like, literally, immediately afterward), all audio in the game cut out, on every save file I have. I probably should've knocked on wood, because I'd mentioned how I hadn't experienced a single bug during the 60 hours I put…

I call bullshit on any timeline whose "amazing" Zelda games don't include Wind Waker. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about Skyward Sword yet, but I'm heavily leaning toward including that one in the "okay" camp, but maybe it's because of how recently I completed Ocarina and that game having much, much less horseshit…

Dead Space 2 is grossly under-represented in these Game of the Year talks. Can people not recall January?

Oh god, my ears. I hope this child's next gift was a muzzle.

The ol' ATF special?

Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, Princess.

"The Hero is Defeated" should just have the Phillips CDi Zeldas. (Cringes).

Something tells me that cat was originally all-black.

So you're a sorcerer? It wasn't the easiest battle for my pyromancer. Once I try Skyrim a little I'm going to replay Dark Souls as my sorcerer.
