  1. Sci-fi renaissance or Xbox rut?

    Best books are non-fiction?
  2. The latter, which has Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman & Robin.
  3. Oh man, that's hilarious. I enjoyed T3. It didn't take itself too seriously. I should rent it and watch it with commentary. BTW, if someone is looking for a funny commentary, Batman has a hilarious commentary with Adam West and Burt Ward. Well worth the price of the dvd, even if you wouldn't enjoy the movie itself.
  4. Those comic books were pretty good, actually.
  5. Yes. I think we can safely say that the overall point of the movies is that YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER.
  6. Fable: Where's the story??

    How about this from my Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English: The world 'fable' does not make most people picture an intricate storyline with deep characters. It's a story concerning morals. The word is a very good fit for the game's name. I have never played it, so I can't comment on your critique.
  7. Engine licencing a good deal for ... ?

    That's, what, at least $300,000 on wages. You'll probably need more than that. Making the engine is a separate software project, and they are prone to failure. Another unknown in an already unstable venture.
  8. Another World - Comic Book!

    It's not on hold, Chahi just won't be able to advise them anymore, that's all. Yeah, thanks for fixing my spelling when quoting me. So subtle
  9. Reading a book alone is like masturbation. Everyone should get some completely random person to breath down their neck and read the book over their shoulder.
  10. Another World - Comic Book!

    I actually liked the first page most. I guess he wants to preserve the art style of the game, though.
  11. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    Well, I'm a student of English. It's not a word that commonly used outside of that circle. It means choosing the right word for the occasion (formal or informal, etc). But that's how native speakers do it! taught
  12. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    I don't believe you. Okay, maybe you have some problems with register (minor problems), but people with limited language skills don't use fancy sentence structures correctly. Proper use of register is the last thing people learn anyway.
  13. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    Your English skills don't seem to be that limited...
  14. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    You twisted bastard.
  15. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    Just like real kids, then?
  16. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    Oh, don't believe people who playtest a game. It's an infuriating process. I've done it a few times and can't make myself play the games once they're done.
  17. New people: Read this, say hi.

    I can't remember anyone mentioning that game over here, but welcome nonetheless.
  18. Super Paper Mario

    Looks like Crush has the 3D mode as the 'main' mode, while it's the other way around in Mario. I think I prefer the Mario approach.
  19. Wii not taking games Seriously

    True for any controller. I'm of course talking about the potential the controller has. It'll be a while before we reach it.
  20. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    Hah, linguists are debating about that. 'He/she' is cumbersome, 'they' is not strictly grammatical but at least it's not sexist like 'he' or 'she'. I use 'they'.
  21. Some free advice to Peter Molyneux...

    I think you've been taking what he says not only more literally than you should, but more literally than even Molyneux intends. He's not trying to make the dog or the game feel for you -- there's no force in the world that could do that. When he talks of the dog's unconditional love for the player (as if that could exist in anything actually living and feeling), he talks of a gameplay mechanic. The point is not to make the dog feel. The point is to make the dog seem as if he's feeling and by that make YOU, the player, feel.
  22. Wii not taking games Seriously

    Oh, sure, a wheel will work better with any driving game, but we can't have a different controller for every kind of game. As a generic controller, the Wii Remote will work better in a wide variety of games in terms of immersion than any other controller so far. PS3 and 360 do not have mouse+keyboard as a viable option.
  23. Wii not taking games Seriously

    For the purposes of aiming or immersing the player, they are inferior control schemes.
  24. Super Paper Mario

    It was a fantastic series, but I don't really mind it being replaced by Galactica.
