It is a tough call, to be sure.

Was his name Gehngis by any chance?

From a directing standpoint, how he picks his shots, framing, blocking, that part’s always good. Like you, I don’t think I can complain about that aspect of any of his films. Far as acting and writing, how much of that is on him and how much is the responsibility of the actors and writers?

The single biggest problem with “games as a service” rests on an assumption: your Internet connection is always active. Publishers, in particular, are all too happy to try and exploit that condition because, “hey, our dev studios never have Internet connectivity go down, so it can’t possibly happen to our customers.”…

Assuming they could squeeze through in the first place. They are a little narrow.

Metal detectors would create too many false positives. Think about how much metal goes into some props and even costume pieces, particularly for large and elaborate ones like some of the Reinhardt costumes from Overwatch or the amount of tactical gear used for cosplay based off Resident Evil. Plus, metal detectors are…

Suppose it depends on a couple of variables. First, as one person asked, is it a single enemy unit, or is the AI essentially a conglomeration of all the different enemy subroutines in the game that has somehow fallen together into sentience? Second, depending on the circumstances of the first question, is it going to…

Cole Phelps was probably the single worst thing about L.A. Noire. I have never before or since hated playing a character the way I did with that game. You look at characters in the genre like Sam Spade (The Maltese Falcon) or Ed Exeley (L.A. Confidential), and you see interesting flawed characters. You look at Cole…

Sounds suspiciously like Outpost, but without the tedious mucking about in cryogenic storage while making an interstellar voyage.

So which pinky are you removing to show contrition?

It’s absolutely worth playing. One of these days, I’m actually going to finish it. There is just something about it that just manages to completely creep me the hell out and make me have to walk away, lest I really do get nightmares.

Absolutely recommend Summer Wars. It is out on Blu-Ray. You owe it to yourself to watch it. Just incredibly fun.

Dammit. Now I’m picturing an anime where George Washingbishonen gets hurled back in time along with Thomas Jefferbishonen and Pervy Sage Benjamin Franklin and faces off against Oda Nobunaga and Hattori Hanzo. Lots of purple edged black lightning from Nobunaga’s camp, lots of cherry blossoms and eagles from…

Rough guess, it’d be about a two minute trailer. It’s hard to judge, but the usual rule of thumb is about a minute a page. It’s not quite two pages plaintext. Hope you enjoyed it. :)

My Fantasy Destiny 2 trailer (sorry, Kinja doesn’t let me do proper script formatting)

WoW did a special event for the Beijing Olympics that had a Chinese dragon minipet called “The Spirit of Competition.” I was insanely thrilled when I got one. Kept that little sucker running around in dungeons and raids with me before we could ride dragons or have whelplings as battle pets. Heck, this was even before…

“Tried.”

Philistines. Gaijin. Barbarians. Yeah, they’re a pain in the ass, particularly when a camp spawns a unit every turn for five straight turns, then beats the hell out of your forces. But they can be caught and they can be beaten. A lot of it relies on reading the terrain and using it to your advantage, as well as the…

Obligatory “Badass Of The Week” Link -

I’m still playing it. It’s a glorious slog. You’re right about the mass of side quests, DLC, and assorted stuff. There is a hell of a lot of it. Just be cool about it. Don’t panic. Enjoy the slow, bloody, sexy, bitterly humorous journey.
