@vidhagans: Right on, expect a request from Nekheny.

@vidhagans: Oh yeah, definitely - that's why I mentioned the CC abilities on his two AoE spells, they seem like they'd become more useful against actual players (who would hopefully be more strategic than the AI's "run after you and shoot every damn spell at you and hope it brings you down" scheme). Combined with his…

@Batman: I just started three weeks ago, so I'm probably not the person to ask for top-tier stuff, but Cho'Gath makes the game pretty much Easy Mode with my playstyle. By around level 10-12, if you stack your AP well enough, you should be able to pretty much massacre an entire opposing group of creeps with AoE spells…

@Kovitlac: I think a lot of really great books could be written set in the same universes as several game franchises, but not starring the main characters. For example - wouldn't it be kind of cool to have a novel following an average Joe around Kanto or Johto from Pokemon? I mean, he wouldn't train to beat gym…

If you're willing to rinse it out really well afterward, wouldn't this be infinitely easier to accomplish by just tossing a bar of soap and some water into a blender?

@Pest: The only way you can feel a scratched screen with the DS styluses is if you did the scratching with an exacto knife or something - the kind of surface scratching that you get from even heavy use really has zero tactile impact on using the stylus. I say this having gone through 3 DSes in my day - one someone…

@Pest: Exactly. I'm saying it'll help you get over your irrational fear of using your toys in the intended fasion. ;)

My chemistry teacher did this in high school, he said the trick is to be extremely fast and to make sure to never, EVER touch the sides of the container.

@Smiley Massacre: I see it in the aesthetic, sure, but....SCUMM is pretty specifically an adventure game engine, dude.

@Pest: Play "The World Ends With You", and you'll never worry about scratching your screen again. It's such a fantastic game that I have to recommend it to everyone, but by the last chapter my touchscreen looked like someone rubbed steel wool over it. It's really the only game I've played for the DS that a) used the…

Pshaw. Shadow the Hedgehog was actually one of the more fun Sonic franchise games of the last decade - despite many of the missions emulating WoW's "kill this many of this enemy" quests. It had approximately half a bajillion different levels, too, and chances were pretty good you'd see different levels on almost…

How in the nine hells could anyone play Sonic 2 on an iPhone? I mean....I've dealt with touchscreen controls, I beat Mega Man 2 for the iPhone, but....jeez. Sonic? Count me out.

@SaveTheWails: You forgot the wedding ring. It's the most important part.

@nophilip: Fully 90-95% of the games on the system can be controlled without touching the stylus a single time, this is almost certainly one of them.

It's not Friday anymore, but my first game was Super Mario Land for the original Game Boy when I was two and a half years old. My mom got my dad a Game Boy with a few games for Christmas that year, and while my dad never really got into it I was hooked (well, as soon as I figured out that you could run AND jump, all…

Hahahaha, it's like a maelstrom of stupid business decisions all rolled up into one. Rock on, Square-Enix, don't ever change.

@Jonn: That's a semantics argument that I'm really not willing to get into. I don't support piracy, but part of the reason that there's this huge rift between developers and consumers is because the developers equate piracy with theft, which is not really the case. Nobody's getting deprived of product, and again, if…

I was halfway hoping for it to be an animated GIF with the LOST "S" on there - it always has a little black glitch that appears along the seam, right up until the finale! As it was, I could only recognize like six or seven (is there an A from Avatar in there? Ew.)

@Lemonade: Craft beers like he's actually talking about in the article? Yeah, I'd give him that.

@Karkawry: I would suggest actually reading the post, because then you'll notice that he's talking specifically about craft beers and microbrews, and not domestically corporate-produced horsepiss. But if you're really that set in your "I'm a douchebag, here let me show you how much!" ways, then I guess your comment…
