There isn't anything sacred about that burial.

It was buried for a reason! They know not the horror that they have released unto the world! We will now be doomed to slowly fall down random open pits for the rest of our lives.

I love that the Worst Movies Ever Made all become cult classics in their own right, and have a sort of beloved followings, while the Worst Game Ever Made gets dumped in a landfill after almost crashing the industry in its infancy.

It was my favorite Urban Legend in video games and I am so glad that it turned out to be true. I feel like there should be some curse for removing these cartridges from their final resting place….

I remember playing that in Kindergarten/1st grade. I got all of y'all beat.

I haven't done Black Gulch yet, but I am equal parts petrified and excited to get there. I stopped halfway through The Gutter and decided to move on. I managed to kill the Duke's Dear Freja last night…who while not too tough creeped me the fuck out.

I hope that they cover Shadow of the Colossus in their essay series on the use of empty space in games. I don't think there is a single game that uses empty space better than Colossus. The environment is beautiful and at first it is a joy to explore, but as I played I felt more and more like it was empty for a reason.…

Yeah, its very clear that there is nowhere else this story could have gone. Still one of my favorite moments in video games.

I actually just got there the other day and fucking hell, the Gutter was a bitch for the longest time. Its like Blighttown but pitch dark. Once I slowed down and used torches it became a bit easier. I love the area though, it's the first one that I think is really on par with the best areas of DS1.

This is my first real free weekend since the beginning of April, so I think I'm going to use it to finally power through Dark Souls 2. I got it the day it came out and played it a lot those first couple days, but I just haven't had time to play it much since. I'm looking forward to it.

Ahhh, that wonderful Crossfire interview….

Okay, I think it is decided. My fiancé will now be known as Stan's Bear.

I think I'm going to go with Stan, but I also just had the idea of Stan's Bear (it fits him, because well..you know my type) and I've become quite attached to it.

I don't mind the conotations, especially because it would mean that he's dating a dude so people think he isn't straight, which is funny to me. The Peggy/Stan shipper in me would love any name involving Peggy. Peggy's Hairdo? Peggy's Knee Socks would also be perfectly acceptable.

I don't believe he does, someone suggested we call him Stan to give my name new connotations. I'm open to suggestions.

She even adored the flutterwacken shit. Like she thought it was the greatest thing. I mean…come on! That scene made me want to gouge my eyes out.

Really? I hated Wasiowska in it. It took Stoker to redeem her in my eyes.

The girl I was dating at the time adored it and dragged me to it three times in the theater….in retrospect I should have seen that that relationship was doomed to failure.

Calculated Oscar bait wouldn't have been as nearly brutal, Cumberbatch's character would have been presented as a good guy, and the movie probably would have been told from the perspective of Brad Pitt's decent white guy.

There is a different though between emotional manipulation and genuine pathos. Big Fish falls squarely in the latter as far as I am concerned.
