I will say, some of those features are definitely moving. In the falling shots we can actually see something that looks like a labyrinth...but it both looks different than the previous labyrinths and is nowhere near them.

That makes me hopeful.

The other thing that makes me hopeful is that a growing world gives you…

I’ve found myself having to build some of the characters I didn’t used to precisely because of this. Beanstalk, for example, was a unit I had never thought to build before because she wasn’t very focused. She is capable of doing several thing pretty decently but isn’t amazing at any one of them. That versatility has…

It is probably my biggest complaints about Disney. So much stuff should be public domain by now but Disney was so desperate to keep control of anything they’ve created that they paid (lobbied if you prefer) to change the laws and extend their control.

You should really go read what FilmCritHulk writes about Speed Racer. Based on what you’ve written here, I think you’ll really enjoy his writing on it (he has a few pieces that reference it, and one amazing one specifically talking about why that movie is great).

Alright, so I’m confused. Why is this considered a representation of the player? I admittedly never played the game (horror is generally not my genre) but is there some other reason believe he is looking at the player?

Wait, is January 10th the day everybody gives up on new years resolutions?

Wait, so is this based on the physics of him managing to keep himself in the air through spinning? Or is it based on the movement across the screen?

Yeah, but there is also a difference between 100, or even 1000 quality testers attempting variations on trying to knock a boss off the cliff, and a few hundred thousand players where one just happens to throw a grenade at the right place at the right time and realizes (as they watch the boss disappear) that there…

Not gonna lie, I had this same thought.

If you love mech games, you might go read Austin Walker’s review on Vice Games (Waypoint). This stuff is entirely his shit and he loves the game, so his review takes a different tone.

This was a great read Heather.

Do we know how well this works with different kinds of control schemes?

I have been worried about this as well. All the worst have been out in force...and despite them saying it was never about Zoe the first time around (always was bullshit), they seem beyond ready to harass her and blame her again.

No, no, no. You think that because you don’t understand racism or the word racist that it has no meaning. It absolutely does. Let me break down some of it for you.

It stands for involuntary celibate. It stems from a...umm...I honestly don’t remember if it was reddit or something worse like 8chan...where a group of assholes would discuss how the world has forced them to be celibate because they aren’t “good enough” for the women of today (read: they think women only have sex with…

Thought of something that’s kinda a great example of the bullshit we put with as consumers.

I wish it was as simple as that... but it really isn’t.

I really wish it were as simple as just greed...but as I was mentioning somewhere else, profit seeking behavior can be seen as a good under capitalism because it does actually help some people. A lot of people’s retirements are tied up in shares of companies where, if the company doesn’t show more profit every year,…

“Damn you capitalism” may not be useful, but understanding the functions of capitalism in a system like this can make a big difference.

It reads like an interesting piece of criticism...rather than just a review.
