They start off angry, belligerent, red-faced guests, wanting to leave immediately... they end up broken men, trudging in circles lifelessly forever on hellish island with no escape

Here's how you tell the difference between Professional Niceness and genuine interest. Is she going out of her way to talk to you? If things are slow and you're around, does she make a point of coming over to chat, especially about non-gaming topics? Is she asking you questions about you, especially any probing…

I've seen a lot of gamers worry that this means Titanfall will hold your hand, or that Titanfall is too easy, too toned-down, too casual. That's not at all the case here. It just means that, while an expert player is tearing down new and experienced players alike, the new guys are hopping around trying to figure out…

My 'rig' is more than ready for it, here are my specs: Xbox 360 console, Xbox 360 controller, two AA-batteries, television, electricity.
