I haven't played a single minute of Plans vs Zombies 2. And so far, I really don't like it. Everything is gearing up to nickle and diming the shit out of it. There's no way to win without grinding, or to pay up.

Super Poleriders looks like Chocolate Island from Mario World

I either shoot things in Steelport, or in Liberty City tonight.

Or... they're going to bring back The Lone Gunmen.

I calculate hours of fun per dollar. Gone home gave me close to $10/hour of fun. So, it's rather expensive. If it wasn't made by Steve I wouldn't have bought it at this price point (but this isn't due to the length of the game, more the kind of game). However, of all the hours I spend in gone home, all of them were fun. Hours of non-fun weight heavier than ours of fun. I do think Gone Home was too short, or at least, I wish there was more. Maybe that's a good thing. With quite some 'AAA'I;m glad its finally over (still haven't finished Darksiders 2 or Max Payne 3). Sometimes I'm content with the length (e.g. Borderlands 2 had almost the right length for me), but I'm rarely left wanting for more (Arkham City ended too soon for me). Timing the game's length is impossible I think. For example, at 50 hours Borderlands 2 was good for me, but I'm quite sure a lot of others will think it was too long. Borderlands 1 at 40 hours was too long for me. So there will always be complaints about the length of the game. But the price/length ratio is a dumb criteria for a game.

Ooh... a Mass Effect that plays in the previous era. -
When was the last time you hugged a tree?

I absolutely love it. Iplayed the first 30 minutes with a huge grin on my face. The same kind of grin the main character had on his/her face

No, DICE employees are only hired if they match the key art. -

You can move them. You needed to do this trick with you wanted to use that "script enhancer" thingy. It was not compatible with MSGFWL. But I'm not sure if that works for the other games. So I think I will lose 8 games next year. -
I'm quite sure retailers receive their stock days before launch (usually with a large label on the boxes saying stuff like "don't sell until X"), warehouses usually also have labels on release goods saying "don't ship until X", where X is a couple of days before release date. But that doesn't change the question, why are games released on Friday?

I received my copy in the mail today, so I thought: hurray, now I can play it. But then Steam greeted me with So wait.. when is it released!? Oh, 1 minute after midnight. WTF are games release on Friday in Europe!? Also, why won't Steam install the game from the DVD but does allow me to pre-load it via the internet? It's not like the DVD content contains everything to play the game. Now I have to download 7.3GiB of data even though I have the same 7.3GiB of data on this shiny coaster.

Talking about music in Gome Home. I really cannot recall any music besides the riot girl tapes... -
I'm not playing it yet. I like that they gave me alpha access even though I only backed the "completed game" tier.
