Likewise. About the only thing I remember about that game is how much I enjoyed it.

I hope the show ends after 3 or 4 seasons with the revelation that, in
fact, yes there was a zombie plague and they all get eaten.

I give not a single shit about realism and eagerly await the day I can pick this up on PC, mod the encumbrance rules, and hold as many goddamn aluminum cans as I want.

I actually want them to push it further. Drop V.A.T.S. altogether and just make a really tight shooter. And maybe they have, but I get the impression that the natural FPS gameplay will still rely more on dice rolls than I would like, especially for sniping/long-game shooting.

I sometimes feel like a fake fan. I will swear to this day that I loved the shit out of Fallout 3, but the narrative made so little impact on me - and I made so little investment in trying to be impacted - that today I doubt I could recall more than a few details and have no memory of what the overall story was. Same…

Braid. The first of the two endings. Not the one you read about after the fact, but the one you play just before. The scene between Tim, the girl and the knight. The way it used the game's own time-reversal mechanic to completely flip the script … amazing. Chills.

Yep. Far as I'm concerned this is the answer. Hell, it sticks with me still. Years later.

I really want Riven to get both the "real" and "masterpiece" treatments that Myst got. Oh to explore that world in a higher-res, real-time rendered FPS mode. I've only played the original PC release with the 5 discs, which is … not the best experience by modern standards.

I'm worried about that as well, and also surprised. I could swear I remember reading a (much earlier) report on this game that suggested careful observation of the world was critical to the problem-solving. That even if the puzzles themselves played out on these TV screens, the "trick" to solving them or at least to…

Been getting very little game-playing done lately, but here are some reports:

I actually didn't have too much trouble with Braid, but there is one puzzle in the ring chapter that halts me even now, after I KNOW I've completed it at least 3 or 4 times. When I get back to it after months or years having not played the game, I once again can't figure it out.

Do you mean "done playing the game" or do you mean having "completed the game?"

The game's creator, Jonathan Blow, has a reputation for being a bit prickly - see Blow's infamous walkthrough for Braid.

This past September I survived two rounds of Toddler Trans-Atlantic Flight. You'll do fine.

I got one very recently specifically for Rock Band 4, since all my legacy DLC for that game is on 360. I'll probably end up renting Halo 5 at some point through my Gamefly account, but I've never been a big fan of the series. I don't like competitive multi on FPS, so I'll only play the campaign then ship it back.

Well, it's also a terrible movie, so there's that.

Oooooo, I remember being disturbed out by a bunch of Raggedy Ann and Andy: A Musical Adventure. Almost every character they meet on their adventure except for the Camel is creepy. Especially Greedy the taffy blob.

Or what about when you open the front door before cleansing the house and get eaten by what appears to be a giant worm monster?

A couple video games come to mind:

My memory is real hazy on this one, but I remember being upset by a Gumby episode in which Gumby and maybe Pokey are captured by the Blockheads and fitted with mind-control devices that make them brainless blockheads themselves. I may have the details wrong.
