I read, I stopped, I read, I left, came back and read one more paragraph and it was over ... felt shorter than normal.
Videogames (like everything in life) cannot 'make' us happy. But they can help get us there.
Also, Yu Suzuki once mentioned wanting to make a game with one button - I guess he'll have to top The Happy Button ...
@raffleking: Yeah, and when it finishes scrolling, it scrolls back up slowly so you can read the story backwards too! Some crazy people at Cerberus ...
@RockyRan: Oh, I remember the loading times as much as playing the actual game!
I just finished ME2 five minutes ago ... well, at least they have that new mode where you can continue your game. Still, Grunt really could have used that shotgun versus the Collectors ...
I understand that people would fancy Shakespeare making videogames, but he'd more likely be composing sonnets on YouTube for sponsorships or writing a ten part miniseries for the BBC on Churchill and WW2.
Supposedly, he also enjoyed pleasing his audience (like making a play with Falstaff for the Queen, Macbeth for James I) - the long dev cycle of videogames and films would probably frustrate him. Though, Roland Barthes is probably rolling in his grave right now ...
@mastiffchild: I can't imagine at all how The Idiot could be turned into a video game. I can, however, see the prince drawn in the most cliché JRPG style ...
@Recoil: Explorers in the Americas thought turkeys (bird) were related to a type of fowl from Turkey (country). Turkeys ended up being not related, but kept the name. Quite similar to Indians and Indians ...
@bobtheduck in Korea: Yes, maybe they should make this game and then the developers will all get cursed and never rudely borrow from the classics again. One can hope ...
I'd scream "Don't do this!"; but, EA seems to be pulling a very Macbeth-esque move after their Dante game. For them, it's "I am in blood stepp'd so far that, should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er."
@Tenacious_Z: Yes, I just eat them plain - no bun, just deliciousness!
@Mister Jack Leaves No One Behind!: From the first one, the salarians. But after playing some of the sequel, I have to say hanar. Hearing Zaeed and Thane talk about them really cast them in a different light for me.
@Kovitlac: I know, she wants them to get hit by cars when they are all distracted by their awesome sticks!
Why not just give a bunch Playstation stuff to the winner or an all expenses paid vacation touring every Sony dev studio? Or, a cameo in a videogame or life-size Crash Bandicoot stature or someting. A job, especially an infamous one, seems a tricky prize - how long will you get to keep it? Can they fire you willy-nilly? The goal of this game show just doesn't interest me ...
Mass Effect 2, saving the galaxy again - and a bit of Animal Crossing to buy some turnips.
Impressive trailer; but, man in robot suit fighting aliens has been done like a trillion times. I need to see what will be unique about this version of that story to stay interested ... then again, robot suits are awesome in just about anything.
@RawrSpoon: Yeah; $10 seems fine at first, maybe two times. But when you end up paying maybe $40+ for multiple pieces of extra content not even half as expansive as the game, the price doesn't sound reasonable.
All DLC is different, thus publishers ought to price it accordingly.
@d4rk-h4x0rer: Ooo, great point! EA really needs to read this article too, I guess.
I stopped trusting Space eBay after that Founder love doll I bought turned out to just be some sort of Jello. I sold my entire collection of tribble pelts to even win the the auction, gosh...
Also, I'd probably go for a tricorder over any pad; then I could scan stuff and take readings!
@cicero: Someone make this happen!
Okay, this is a stretch - but I think George Lucas or whoever got the design for Yoda from impressionist painter Degas' "The Dance Class."
Just check out the instructor - white hair, short, cane - it's Yoda!
