James, you reference The Winds of Winter as the seventh book in the series - it will be the sixth.

Seventh Son was the exact opposite of this film for me... the entire time watching that movie I couldn’t help but think “WTF is Jeff Bridges doing and why am I still in this chair?”

I likened this movie to John Wick in the sense that a) while not a cinematic masterpiece it’s better than it has any right to be, keeping me entertained from start to finish, and b) it’s a showcase for an action star I love but with a less-than-perfect record to do cool shit.

Wouldn’t Meera have had to be passed off as a bastard, as well?

Look up Moissanite (aka crystalline silicon carbide). All the same plusses but it’s noticably sparklier/prettier than zirconia

“Foo Fighter’s”
“David Grohl”

I would hope that it’s not a boarding school, first of all. I want to picture something much more stereotypically-American-high-school-esque, but with a magical spin on it.

Thread over; you win.

Great article. Nothing in here I don't agree with 100%, hahaha.

The claim comes from French Microsoft. No wonder.

Or you could just take a picture of your screen with your other camera/phone/whatever.

The big difference is scalability. With services like Windows Azure or Amazon EC3, companies are basically able to rent as little or as much computing power as they need to service their needs based on demand. They don't have to stand up 3000 servers and all the infrastructre that goes along with that to meet launch…

You still have to buy the game, which I think you can pick up for 20 or 30 USD... but it's free to play after you own it. No subscription required anymore. Highly recommended.

Once again, way to go Gizmodo for awesome journalism in pulling stuff out of thin air.

The only negative thing I have to say about this article is that the three examples Quintin picked at the beginning of the article are all incredible games that are in the BGG Top 50, have amazing depth to them, and don't get old after dozens of plays. I think your point would have been much better served had you…

Seconded the guy who suggested The Resistance. I like it way better than Werewolf because a) everyone participates the whole time (no player elimination) and b) there's much more space for bluffing and deduction based on who's selected by the leader to be on a team, who votes to approve the team, etc etc...

I am typically a Google apologist and I completely agree with everything in this article. There is just no reason at all for this product to exist. It's Google's next Nexus Q.

Yep, winner.

You win.

I've always been very enamored of Knizia's Lost Cities. Now, Love Letter has it beat in terms of simplicity, but I think the simplicity-to-gameplay-depth ratio is right up there at the top along with it.
