I have so many good memories of this game. It was released during a good time in my life. I was young and my now-wife and I had moved into an apartment together earlier in the year. It was a great transition period where I was an adult making adult money, but I did not yet own a home, have children, or a whole lot of…

I was going to say, the only correction I’d have for this article as an obsessive Halo 3 player from back in 2008 as well is that the Tila Tequila reference was less obscure than Alyssa made out!

But for that model to remain consistent you’d need to rotate the stick to look left and right instead of pushing it sideways. Whereas the model of pushing in the direction you’d like the camera to point (rather than simulating physically manipulating the camera) is consistent between up/down/left/right.

Don’t get me…

Lovely reflection, although it feels like there should be a content warning for aughts teens just dropping a Tila Tequila reference out of the blue. Suddenly firing up long dormant synapses like that is traumatic for our aging brains.

I have a dead miner who spawns in almost every doorway in the game for me. I had one of those random proc gen quests to rescue them, I cleared out the bandits but they died to fauna on the way back, but it apparently never flagged them as dead (even though the quest failed), so every time it thinks theyve gotten too…

Notice that all the shows you listed were on cable with shorter seasons. You might get a big draw on your big budget prestige shows, but that’s different from the standard 22-episode network series.  We all knew we weren’t going to get a Chris Evans or RJD appearance on a network television show.

Before the TWS reveal, the writers faced an extremely difficult task: come up with threats significant enough to put the team in credible danger, but not significant enough to justify bringing in Cap and the rest of the SHIELD cavalry. (And make the threats far-out enough to justify SHIELD’s involvement, but not so…

I’d watch a full movie with the Robby Reyes GR and his Charger.

I binged S1 after seeing all the hype about the twist and thought it worked well when watched that way. Still the weakest season overall of the show and I can also imagine waiting a week between episodes where next to nothing is happening would be frustrating.

On the plus side, Cindy — you’re not Barsanti! :P But I posted this in the other thread in re: waiting 17 episodes for Agents of SHIELD to get where it wanted to go with the HYDRA twist (“Turn Turn Turn”) which was largely a failure of writing to keep it as engaging before the twist:

Personally, I don’t care for Survival. I hate timers in games. As long as they bring it back as an optional game mode and not a required part of the core game, I’m fine with it.

Best show on TV.   

Absolute FAIL. How can you not have the beloved chaos agent, Muffin, as a playable character?

No playable Muffin?? 0/10

If you had ever told me I would own a non-ironic piece of clothing featuring a Disney Jr. character, I would have laughed you out of the house. But I’ll be damned if this isn’t one of the greatest tv shows of the last 20 years.

I don’t think I’ve had a disc drive on my PCs for almost a decade now.

Like An Angry Preacher below (above?), I want discs to continue as an option even though I rarely use them myself. But let’s not fan the flames of “console wars” and pretend this is a Microsoft-specific issue. Neither Sony nor Nintendo are crusaders for media preservation; we just haven’t seen their future plans yet.…

The thing with preservation after the xb360 and ps3 is that most games are downloaded anyway. Once those authentication servers go down, most of the games aren’t on disc anyway; a lot of games cannot be played with the day one patch; etc. There are already existing issues for game preservation that aren’t being…
