I didn't think he was shackled by AAA games design before. He chose to go in a different direction with Bioshock Infinite but then chose to pull it full circle into the Bioshock universe, instead of expanding outward like a Final Fantasy style title.

For anyone that's curious, my local Best Buy had all 3 of the different Game of Thrones covers in stock. Right now, Stark and Targaryen are backordered online. So check out your local store before committing to wait a while.

So the letter makes it sound like this was mainly Levine's decision. Not that they were bleeding money or unsuccessful. But this is super odd. Here's hoping game journalism sites can figure out more about the circumstances behind this.

I'm slowly feeling better about a digital future. I still have my fears about going 100% digital, but for the most part, we're adapting.

Praises be to Helix! He shall guide us to the Elite 4 and our destiny! His son, Pidgeot, has given us guidance, and on his wings shall we fly to salvation!

Nope, actually on my computer. I think it may actually be sold out.

Oh god. I waited to pre-order the Targaryen slipcover version and now the website won't let me...

Why were you thinking that? This has been a collaboration with South Park Studios from the start, so that's big, plus it has Obsidian as its developer, another sign towards a full release. Was it just the graphics style?

So, I've got a passing interest in Soccer and I like RPG's. Am I going to enjoy this? I know it's insanely popular in Japan, but that doesn't always guarantee success.

Good job for not forcing the tech on people, but I really wish we would see better gamepad integration in 1st/2nd party Nintendo games. I loved how it was used in ZombiU and that was Ubisoft! Off TV play is a nice feature, but come on! Give me a reason to show the gamepad off, not hide it shamefully in the corner.

Oh yeah, I was furious. I themed my first 2 seasons based on house prominence in the show, so I obviously went Stark and Lannister. I was really hoping to pick up Tyrell for season 3, but we were crushed in that stupid poll. Hopefully this means I can grab Stannis for season 4, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hot diggity! Game of Thrones special packaging for only $35. I'm glad the prices are lower than they were for season 2 (I think). I'm grabbing Targ to round out my collection, even though I was much more excited about the other slipcase designs that got voted down.

Oh hell yes. I love this game with a passion. I would love an HD version for digital distribution.

Halo Wars

So... does the story end up making any kind of sense?

Flappy Bird High Score Thread!

I've seen the Book of Mormon twice, once with the original cast, and once with the traveling company.

I loved the Oracle games! Some of my favorite Zelda games! Right up there with Link to the Past and Ocarina!

People are going to call this a death knell, but I'm still not ready to call it.

I ordered it. They said that it will ship whenever they get it back in stock, so hopefully.
