YES. What was it about our psyche at that age where we assume the blanket is made of titanium and will protect us against ax murderers and assorted monsters. And don't get me started on dangling your foot off the side of the bed. That shit was the BALLSIEST move you could pull when I was a kid.

I love this comment.

Women serving on the front lines is a terrible idea. The female menstrual cycle has been SCIENTIFICALLY proven to attract bears. I just don't think we can put our front line troops at that kind of additional risk.

This is an excellent comment. You address your issue with the review without resorting to the batshit insane caterwauling evident in most of these comments.

You can download a free demo on Xbox Live or Playstation Network that will give you a pretty solid idea of how the combat works and the visuals. It's a way to check out the game and save a few bucks. A rental will give you a wider breadth of the game to explore of course.

Which in turn, game prices might have dropped overall if developers didn't lose such a big chunk of their revenue to used game retailers.

I'm with you, it's damn tasty.

Jesus, +1. I really need to compile all your best shit into some kind of anthology.

We've seen 5 of a supposed 7 books. None of the remaining primary characters have reached the apex of their development yet, so there's plenty of time for her to continue to grow. And the fact that she is making moral choices based upon a well-grounded sense of right and wrong is a positive characteristic as far as…

This is concerning. I don't like cupcakes but I'm quite fond of the female form. So either my tastebuds or my libido have been lying to me for all these years. I feel betrayed, and now kind of hungry.

To summarize my opinion of Daenerys, she comes off as naive and does not redeem herself in any of the published books.

I work about 50 hours a week at my job, plus I'm married with a 3 year old. I don't have shit for free time, but I'm still managing to read the books for a second time. It's not that hard to set aside an hour before going to bed to read for a bit. And as long as Martin's books are, they're a pretty quick and easy…

Clash of Kings wasn't a high water mark for Dany's story arc, so people who are only watching the show or only reading the 2nd book right now are missing out on a lot of things that come later with her. I think she has a pretty kick ass story arc which improves a great deal further into the series. But anyone who…

Well, to be fair KOTOR came out a decade ago, so you could easily have liked the combat system at the time, and still like it now, but be accurate in describing it as "archaic".

After the feeding's over, it's always like OH HAI LET'S PLAY DICE.

I'm actually down with that type of combat, and you make it sound more enjoyable than Kirk did, although obviously people will have different opinions on something like this. This game sounds more promising the more I read between the lines of official reviews and get actual consumer feedback.

Have you played it? I'm honestly curious, because despite both DA games flows, there was plenty of what Bioware does best: make you get invested in your party members and the narrative of the game. I've read several reviews of this game so far and nobody is saying there's anywhere near that level of engagement in the…

Gamerankings is showing a 56%, pulling from about a dozen reviews already in. Sites like IGN, Gamespot and Game Informer rate this game anywhere from mediocre to bad. I love the source material, and might play through this anyway at some point, but I'm fairly certain we can say fairly definitively that it's not…

Here's the thing though, that isn't an unfairness inherent to race, it's an unfairness brought on by connectedness and class.

In general, I honestly believe most of us are on a fairly even playing field.
