I forget, does that actually work? If so, that is some hilarious attention to detail.

The "life is unfair" theme is, now that you mention it, all the game. The three "leaders" of the teams (Carlos, Diana and Q), for example, tend to be the most vulnerable or badly put upon. One's a fairly normal guy who has to put up with Akane and Junpei's many, many, MANY issues. One's fleeing an abusive stalker. The…

"But Zero Time Dilemma’s nihilistic viewpoint is also cruel for the player, reminding us that our choices are irrelevant in the face of those the game’s developers made while designing it. Even if Zero Time Dilemma didn’t make rewinding the clock both simple and required, those designer choices would serve to contain…

The fact that you don't get to chose on that last point waS because the game implies that every other decision was made by Delta - every time you, the player, made a choice, it was really Delta mind-hacking the character.

How can [replace the words "Ace be one AND eleven" with sufficiently Pokemon-flavoured words here], huh?! What kind of God would allow that!?

Ice to see you.

"You're canoodling her, aren't you?! You're canoodling your secretary, you canoodling bastard!!"

Krato's actions have doomed him, he cannot escape from that, he deserves punishment for his crimes. Krato has no real chance at redemption, he…

I just started mentally singing Cat's in the Cradle and the first few lines of The Black Parade.

The REmake on GameCube did a great job of presenting a spooky gothic mansion for you to sneak around in.

"[…] science gone mad."

Yeah, I think that, regardless of the player, the player CHARACTER in Crackdown is just a straight-up Black Shirt.

"Now this is the story, all about how, my life got—!"

Reminds me of Milhouse playing the Water World arcade game. GAME OVER. Please deposit forty quarters.

I always thought that being undead in the Souls universe pretty much made you a criminal/disease carrier/unclean/casteless/whatever in the eyes of the Gods and civilised people. That's why the first area of DS1 is basically Fantasy Gitmo. If you got the Dark Sign Curse, you're Out. Outcast, outlawed, out of the human…
