You do have some non-5-fingers options. While I like the 5-fingers for short periods fo time, going without socks in them leaves my feet nasty in very short order, and going with toe-socks for long periods of time gets to be uncomfortable.

Spoilers, dude?

I messed with the demo a bit, and my biggest beef happened before the first cutscene had ended. In fact, it happened before there was even a visual.

You know, after the global economic collapse, those towers are going to make the most awesome post-apocalyptic wastelands.

I had to explain to my seven year old daughter that once upon a time, phones just made calls.

WTF?

Downloaded and played a bunch of the Amalur demo. After about 20 minutes of play, I thought, "This is probably the best XBox Live Arcade game I have ever played. Better than Torchlight. Some minor bugs that prevented me from hearing some terrible voice acting, but whatever. What is it, 1600 points? Sign me up."

What was surprising to me was that there is a very active lightsaber stage combat community. They are way into it, too - many of them have fencing or asian martial arts backgrounds. A lot of them are into crazy genre-mashing stuff - "Yeah, he role-plays as a Jedi from Star Trek".

I just spit coffee. Thank you for this.

Is one minute fifty-three close enough?

Sorry, I'm really not buying it.

I'm with you. I played the demo, and while it was fun, I had the same feeling of bewilderment I got when I tried to watch Dragonball Z. Mostly it seemed to be about people yelling, getting super ripped, and exploding.

Okay, that's pretty funny.

I am really looking forward to trying this.

To be clear, my post was intended as satire, as if it had been written from the perspective of the artist.

Well...

One thousand drachmas to the man who furnishes me with a video of Karen Gillan shouting "FUS RO DAH!"

Okay, fine, fine! Fine. I will see it.

Feh.

My daughter and I just finished reading this together. She loved it. :)
