Well, I've been in some 360 betas before. Let's hope I get in this one. The difference being, I would actually report glitches and bugs for this one. I want Skyrim to be as bug-free as possible. Before I just did it, well just because. But good luck to those who enter!

This is a really interesting article. I'm still not completely sure whether the author was physically raped (forced sexual violation), but I'd imagine that's something that's incredibly hard to discuss. My sympathies go out to her if that is the case (and I do believe it is).

Keep it up Stephen!

Thank god someone else felt this way. I thought Arkham Asylum was the better game by far. It had a cohesive storyline, had just enough exploration in a semi-open world, and introduced you to the combat techniques one by one without any of them feeling useless.

Watched the trailer. I'm not sure how I feel about it. The style could work, but the music is just too different, too jarring for me. I hope that's different in the actual film.

If I didn't already have a pretty large backlog, I would pick this up. It always sounded interesting.

So an American Kingdom Hearts release is finally getting a special edition.

The graphics are actually pretty disgusting. I can overlook it since it still at least looks like a game from this generation, albeit early on in the cycle. But the characters faces really get me. They have no emotion at all. It's slightly distracting coming off of Mass Effect. But again, its only as distracting…

It is similar, but slower paced. Like I said, it's basically KOTOR combat. And DA:O was just KOTOR sped up. Look up a video of KOTOR combat because it really is almost identical. Pause/slow the game, set up 3 moves, unpause and bam.

Agreed about Dany. I find the reactions to her portrayal on the show funny. I always saw her as a whiner, the show just amplifies it a little earlier than the books.

So, I've only played up through Chapter 2 so far, enough to create both my characters, but I have a legitimate question. The combat seems analogous to something like KOTOR. That was my first comparison I made. Yet everyone has decried the combat so far. I understand that games have evolved since then but is the…

This is the Akiba location, right? No Solid Snake from the top floor? Or the Famicom throne? Those were my favorite parts!!!

With Nintendo console's, I've always purchased the "right" color for the system. Whatever was shown in ads or on promo material. That means I've got the original purple Gamecube and this 3DS. After initially annoying me, the color's grown on me. It's a unique color for an electronics system. I just wish I could…

Do you dislike the multiplayer just out of principle? Or do you genuinely dislike it?

I really enjoyed the MP in Bioshock 2. The netcode needed some work, but it was otherwise really fun to play. I still pop it in occasionally to see if anyone's on (nobody ever is...). Plus, they worked it in narratively and you had that cool little house/hub area.

Yeah, they've been talking about Dwight leaving the Office and just doing a Schrute Farms show. I have no idea how that will work because Dwight is at best a character that succeeds only when he can bounce off of others. It seems like a lot more work than NBC is willing to put in. I hope it never happens and they…

Ugh, what a shitty day. I just graduated Saturday and then yesterday broke it off with my college girlfriend. Kind of a big up to a big down. We both kinda knew this was inevitable since she still has one year left and I guess this lets us try and be friends since we still have some time before I leave town.

Wow. I wasn't really aware that all 3 of those would be ending anytime soon. I wonder if they'll be confirming that potentially horrendous Schrute Farms spin-off soon then. If so, my time with The Office will be over soon.

Obviously parting much more amicably than Sessler. I would much rather watch a month devoted to Sessler than Pereira. But here's hoping they bring back those horribly offensive Arena show.

But remember, Sega used to make consoles too. That's where the comparison comes in. I agree that it would hurt Nintendo's bottom line. Also, Sony and Microsoft might have expectations for their games divisions, but they can still take a loss in that area if it helps them get ahead. The original Xbox lost a ton of…
