I'm i-- oh, I thought you said San Fjordcisco.

Okay, I don't know what this is, but I'm in.

Nice. I guess the next year will be one of epic space sims.

Yeah, based on the interview it sounds less like a design tenet and more like looking for a way to describe the difference in gameplay. The wording, if verbatim, is interesting: «There's all of these different kinds of ways of being more thoughtful, and--I hesitate to say it--almost more feminine way of approaching a problem,» which reads like «I don't want to call it "feminine," but how else would you describe it?» edit: Booker in a dress would be a day 1 perch as far as I'm concerned.

We are making progress! «Burial at Sea» will feature feminine gameplay: http://www.shacknews.com/article/80539/bioshock-infinite-burial-at-sea-demands-thoughtful-approach-while-playing

I was under the impression that Carmack was 100% on board at the start of the project (not as a team-member, but as enthusiastically outspoken,) and then at some point, around the time they changed from Doom 3 to Unity, it was rumored he had cooled somewhat, due to having much higher requirements for the techinical specs than what they landed on. I wonder what really happened, and how his role will affect that stuff.

Can't wait until they get 1080p on there.

Jesus.

Wow, is that an actual promo image?

What happened?

Fate of Atlantis is the best game in the world. Play all the paths.

Okay THAT sounds interesting! If the game is relatively quick to load up, I might actually try that for a while.

So you're saying I should see both, maybe?

Yeah, «The Girl in the Fireplace» was great. I'm not sure I know what to make of all the guide's comments, like «SWEET JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH,» «fap fodder,» which makes it seem almost like a JOKE GUIDE, but it's worked pretty well so far (though of course I don't know how well I would've liked the episodes I skipped...) Anyway, just watched «Silence in the Library,» so the next one should be good. In other news, you can say a lot of things about J.J. Abrahams, but you gotta love Alfonso Cuarón:

Never mind, I guess:

So I tried buying Guacamelee on the PSN store and I'm about to give up. What a fucking usability catastrophe the PSN store is. I've bought two games using it; Ni No Kuni and Guacamelee. With Ni No Kuni I had to download multiple huge files multiple times in the right order because they were circumventing some sort of size limitation, and I had to google a bunch of cryptic error messages to figure out the right recipe. Now with Guacamelee I go into the PSN store and find it and purchase it, which is probably as good an experience one can expect from a PS3 controller based store. However, after I've purchased it, it shows me three items and tells me I can either download them all, or select one to download. The items available are all called Guacamelee, though one doesn't have a size, one has «Vita» next to it, and the third «PS3.» Since I don't have a Vita I select the 500MB PS3 version and install it. So now I have a game called «Guacamelee (Playable Demo,)» which is just terrible. Already the shopping experience is a complete failure. I press on, though, and assume the first item I bought – the sizeless one – was some kind of activation token or something, so I go back into the PSN store and install that, but still my game is just a playable demo according to the menu. So yeah, let's just shut down all the physical stores that sell games on discs, because these 2013-era digital stores are a tremendous alternative.

Doctor Who: Being a fan of Steven Moffat, and hearing that his Doctor Who episodes are worth watching, I started watching the show (starting at the recent modern version.) After a season (or series,) I found out I wouldn't be able to watch this thing through – it was never really interesting, and seemed more like a children's show at times. So anyway, I found this handy guide that lets me skip and hop through the episodes, picking out the gems as I go. I'm about to watch «Blink,» which I figure is the most beloved episode of them all.

So apparently pets:
