iPads (and most other high-end tablets) have glass screens. Cat claws aren't sharp enough to scratch glass.

You didn't get the memo? Racism's cool as long as long as you're targeting white people.

You can't quite skip entire chapters, but most of what makes 5 through 8 boring and repetitive is optional content that you can ignore. I would say it's worth going through everything in chapter 7, though, because the tweaked boss fights are pretty fun and challenging, and you can steal fantastic equipment from them.

To be fair, Kotaku gives "Yes" to pretty much any game that isn't a bug-ridden mess or a pile of shit, so in that light, it seems overly harsh.

Ok, raise your hand. Who here has ever even dabbled in game programming and not made a Breakout clone? I thought that was always one of the first things every aspiring game programmer cloned.

That's not entirely correct. There's a sidequest in 6 that is really good, and the "Final" chapter (not 8) is also good. Otherwise, 5-8 are pretty crap, but you can also skip most of them.

It depends on what you didn't like about the demo. The demo is pretty much completely lacking in story, while the main game has a fairly strong, linear story (minus some bad writing and dialog) with plenty of voice acting. The real game also does a much better job of gradually easing you into all of the game's…

Personally, my problem with the anti-Dragon's Crown crowd is that they are suggesting that the solution to that problem is to stop making games with T&A. No, the solution is to keep making those and also make games without T&A. Make your own games, encourage game devs to make the kinds of games you like, and spend…

You're just jealous they picked Zapdos instead of you.

Why are you so sure that I haven't and that I don't actually know what I'm talking about when it comes to bombs?

Don't worry, the "There are wires! It's a bomb!" crowd is doing its best to make sure that kids are too scared to play outside.

Well, a circuit board that isn't attached to anything and doesn't have wires running anywhere is probably not doing very much. So tell me, how do you decide whether something is a bomb or not based on where the wires are running to?

I realize you're trying to make a point by being facetious, but the only thing I can think of is how sad it must be to go through life being terrified that every exposed circuit board you see must be an explosive.

Yes, that's the point. Bombs can look like pretty much anything and there is nothing that a bomb is "supposed" to look like.

Dude, if you're not interesting in sensationalist, flash-in-the-pan stories, you are on the wrong web site.

Well, "Darka" probably sounds nice and exotic to somebody who's Japanese. Would you have felt similarly if they had called it "Yami" instead?

You know that HDDs fail more than three times as often as SSDs, right? (source)

The funny thing is that despite the fact that combat is worse than previous ES games, it's still better than the average MMO.
