I haven't played a ton of Tom Clancy games (original Rainbow Six, the third one, and some of the Splinter Cell stuff), but they - for whatever system they were on - seem to usually do a decent job of making everything "feel" right. I usually feel sneaky enough to slip past the guards at the front gate, but too heavy…

This is the first I've heard that definition of the term. I always thought the gooch was the lower end of that pelvic line between your legs and your mid-section - which, more or less, robs it of any unnecessarily offensive sexual connotations. I guess this is one of those "The More You Know" moments.

Well, neck size, for starters...

Zombie line infantry! Gentlemen's wars of the damned! Night of the living just-don't-shoot-the-officers!

That one for objective matches and the bombed-out church level for deathmatch... Hours of my life I'd gladly reinvest given the opportunity.

You're saying that a Prothean isn't vital to the plot, not the story. (They're two very, very different things in the literary world.) A living, breathing (assumedly breathing) Prothean is crucial to the story. The race was supposed to be wiped out or turned into something they weren't at the whims of the Reapers,…

Bioware wouldn't know how to place importance on a universe-redefining character (according to own lore, at least) if they got slapped in the face by said character with a sock full of rotting fish.

Ah, yes. Allow me to pay $10 for a flat character with a piss-poorly written two-mission storyline who more or less, in this case, ruins the mystery and intrigue of the original Mass Effect.

I don't know what the pay structure is, but, given the distinct lack of concision, I'd imagine there's something very Dickensian going on here.

Yeah - I'm in Austin right now, and we've got a taco chain that as a fried chicken taco permanently on the menu and, as the taco of the month for February, has a chicken-fried steak taco. I can feel my heart's valves weep, but what the brain wants is what the brain gets.

Hah! I was thinking that he could have liquid-cooled the whole thing and just painted him blue. That's alright - I'll just patiently wait for a Zora case mod (that constantly plays the awesome Zora theme from Ocarina).

The human urge for fried chicken, I think, surpasses the body's ability to feel pain. This would, at least, explain why I eat so many fried chicken tacos and why KFC is so popular. So, so popular.

I like the build idea, but, as other people have pointed out, it seems troublesome for heat purposes. (Maybe there's something we're not seeing, though.)

After you give Ganon a beat-down, it's kinda hard to find the motivation to keep working out. That, and I have to imagine that fried chicken's popular in Hyrule given the large population of chickens.

About $4000 after tax? It better sing me "Daisy" when it powers down and try to kill me in space for that kind of price.

I might have to try that, then. The general system Bioware uses as the basis of their dialogue writing/level design is the Neverwinter Nights editor, which allows for dialogue trees pretty easily. It takes about two hours to do a short conversation if you actually want to have dialogue that changes according to what…

I've noticed that a lot in ME2. (I haven't played TOR, mostly 'cause I can't get into MMOs for whatever reason.) The emotional disconnect in dialogue between a line that was written specifically for that emotion and the ensuing return to the main script would get any other writer laughed out of a job. Unless we're…

Yeah - that quote reads more like, "well, we at least didn't just copy-'n-paste our dialogue after you choose two different options." I like the ME games well enough - and really liked the first one - but the idea that the decisions you make have any real impact on anything is total bullcrap. I understand that certain…

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I need a Ziggy Stardust/Aladdin Sane Fallout: New Vegas-meets-Heavy Rain-meets-Mass Effect 1-style RPG. Drugs, sex, rock 'n roll, aliens, apocalyptic warnings, saxophones - all in the darkly charming and existentially horrifying way that was apparently the norm throughout…

She deserves criticism, not insults - agreed on that. I'd argue that she deserves some criticism as a professional and as an artist. There's a no-so-fine line between "your work is crap" and "you're crap." Some people on the internet seem to have never learned that...
