I think there should be a term for omitting characters. It should be called "Coldhanded". Like "Man, Lady Stoneheart got coldhanded" or "Wow, they coldhanded Arianne?" Read more

I found Arianne to be a bit annoying honestly. And she didn't seem very integral to anything in the end either (future books maybe). Read more

It sure does seem that the Adventure Time games, one after the other, seem very Zelda-esque. It's not that they're not fun to play, because they're OK, but yeah, you definitely get the sense that there's so much interesting video-game potential in Adventure Time, and whoever is developing these games isn't even trying Read more

Number 1) I love the idea of people having various ways to communicate and share in the things they love. Whatever that thing may be, it's a shame when people can't get the opportunity to share in that as well because Read more

There may be some ground for an Avatar game where you have to deal with the repercussions of moving the elements so much. For example, destabilizing a mountain and crushing an entire village by poor Earthbending, or starving a coastal town because you accidentally killed all their fishing stock with a misbent Read more

I'd love and buy a REAL Avatar game of quality. Read more

This looks neat, but to be honest, I want an Avatar game based on the original Team Avatar:

Shy Guy Falls shall henceforth be dubbed "Koopa Doopa Falls." Read more

Weirdly, the first game that I played that approached sex in a grown-up way was Wolfenstein: The New Order. Whose idea was it to attach a thoughtful writer to that series? Read more
