I figured that would be one of the reasons why this can be such a big topic on here (among other sites, I'm sure): the viewer actually needs to actively seek out for those specific sites/journos that hold up to the journalistic ethical standards they're all supposedly trying to abide by. While I may be in that "ugh...again with gamez jurnalizm complaints" stage on here that it's not exactly a discussion I'm so quick to jump into, if the audience, whom journalists ar...

Interesting giveaway.

While I can't speak of what he's done off the field (heard bits here and there but don't keep up with NFL), I think it's an interesting choice since I don't see defensive players getting that sort of honor often.

And you people thought Luigi would just let his year end without his say-so.

I'm starting to think you're not gonna do a "be coolbeans" contest. Which is crazy because you totally should.

Indeed.

I think being an annoying host is a "thing" these days.

Cool to see Witwer in there, though. Really liked his Darth Maul VA.

I certainly don't disagree with that mindset--and have seen some non-traditionalist examples that pull that off well. My intention for bringing up that 3-act structure is because that seems to harmonize with one thing: translation. It wasn't until last generation really that there were a lot of games trying to marry story and gameplay a bit better instead of the "beat levels for exposition" method.

Movies are a different beast than games when it comes to...

That's not the reason I often see. More often then not, it's tough to make a good movie from a video game due to them typically not being 3-act structures. It hasn't been until recently many games have tried to replicate that model.

"You're not a bigot for not being on the same page, but you are a bigot if you happen to use your religion as a reason to keep others from having the same rights as you."

This kind of rationale feels like it strays towards the limited choice fallacy tbh. 'Nevermind the multiple angles one could arrive at a decision which could be attributable to one's religion, the moment THOSE beliefs crop up in the argument they're a bigot.'

"Stay tuned for June contests. (and feel free to let me know what you want in the comments below)"

A Xbox One, PS4, and Wii U bundled prize given to the winner of the "be coolbeans" contest. ;)

Or maybe give out some shirts or E3 inspired goodies.

Yes, it is quite a marvelous avatar.

Now everyone knows about the secret clubhouse. >:

I'm not sure what this crazy guy's talking about, everyone. Must be talking about a different forums.

I can't really see how this or even that Far Cry 4 box art debacle could build into such big issues. Even those I find to wade through the 'social issues in gaming' minefield with moderate success went down some strange roads with it: http://www.escapistmagazine...

lol I think Cat ignored that due to her interest in the nude Drake exploit I mentioned. [-_-]!

Now I'm a bit tempted to see what I can think of for the UC3 review. Maybe some poetic word describing the sand? I don't know...we'll see. XD

Anyways, thanks for the votes. Glad you enjoyed my blog on why I like Unch...eh nevermind that joke's getting old now. While I've definately been blessed when it comes to blog contests, it's nice...

Yeah, I had a very fun time with this game back in the day too. Never got around to finishing it.

4398d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

I see. Well if you ever find the time, perhaps just read out certain parts of the review (like differences I find in story between this and Drake's Fortune) at different intervals.

"But if I had to name one flaw of the Uncharted series for me, it would be lack of replayability. Maybe because it's so on the rails. I really love this game but never bothered to replay it."

That's a complaint I see mentioned often. Like it's a "...

Only game I've very, very tempted to pick up this summer.

^"press LB to become invicible"

Was that the added power-ups like decoy and stuff? If so, that's pretty drastic to determine such a minor problem shake your confidence of a studio that consistently sets great bars for itself.
