(SPOILERS)
That's the kind of thing that makes this ending so wonderful. In some universes she does, in some she doesn't, in some Booker wasn't baptized but still managed to forgive himself before selling Anna. In some he was baptized but still didn't become the monster known as Comstock. In some where Booker and his paired Comstock (the one he sold his daughter to) did everything the same up to that point might still have not locked Elizabeth up, or not creat...
It's ironic that you use the phrase "it clearly states that in the game" when it clearly states in the game that everything you just said is wrong.
"The purpose of the phrase "video game addiction" is to identify that somebody has a severe psychological or physiological dependency on video games. What you said IS EXACTLY THAT."
What I've said is nothing of the sort. I said the addiction is to a sense of accomplishment... not video games. Some one who is addicted to video games is addicted to work as well. If the video games are taken away work can easily step in to replace it. In this sense video ...
There is no such thing as "addicted to games." There is no such thing as addicted to the internet, or computers, or tv, or the radio for that matter.
To be clear people do engage in addictive behavior centering around these activities... but these activities are not what they are addicted to. They are simply the vehicle for the addiction.
The addiction is to endorphins... specifically endorphins (along with other chemicals) that are released as par...
"we would all be hired on the spot, pronounced to be Valve UK, and tasked with finishing Episode Three by Christmas."
I LOLed.
you know... I don't even have to specify "half-life" any more when I type "episode three" into a Google search. Google damn well knows. Lol... says something about how badly people want this.
You know, its funny. When FF7 came out every one lauded its graphics and FMV sequences. After all... FF7 was one of the first games to make significant use of the PSX's FMV features, and the first significant RPG to be rendered almost entirely in 3D (rather than using sprites).
What a difference perspective makes eh?
Ugh... I beat Sephiroth with a level 30-something character on my first play through because I was impatient. I had pretty much started "escaping" from all random battles by the time I got to the Icicle Inn (and most battles by the time I finished the Golden Saucer).
That was my first play-through and I still didn't need cheats. Seriously is this what gaming has become? A bunch of kids who demand instant win buttons be added to the games they play so they don...
Her boobs jiggled? I watched it 4 times. I'm still not sure I see it.
The problem with "boob physics" has always been, imo, how completely divorced from reality they were. It's like the video game universe has outlawed bras, decreed that the bust of all female clothing must be made from 100% elastic, and then some strange inertia-increasing compound has been used for all breast implants which are then made mandatory for leading female characters.

That said... if we limit ourselves to video games only Lara Croft is consistently one of the least violent characters. I haven't played the latest installations... perhaps things have changed. In the past, however, most of the so called "violence" in the Tomb Raider series has been little more than Lara defending herself from bears, and tigers, and things that go bump in the night. And in the cases where she has come to blows with human opponents I can not recall any instance wh...
I didn't get past the attempt to equate "violent" and "strong" before I stopped reading. This tired cliche has never been true and never will be true and the fem-nazis (which is something else entirely from feminists) who keep using it as a strawman argument to justify their delusions of persecution seriously need to stop.
I won't claim women don't have unique hardships they must face that men don't... but I will point out that men have uni...
I don't buy that Sonic the Hedgehog is past it's prime. As a 2D platformer? Definitely. In the world of 3D... no. I agree that it has been mismanaged by Sega since taking the leap to 3D. But if Mario, Zelda, and Metroid can survive the change... so can Sonic. It's just a matter of doing it right.
Unfortunately it would have to be done *very* right to overcome the stigma Sonic has developed... and Sonic 4 has failed at that miserably. I played Ep1... or tried to. I...
The fact that you want to do that and only stop from doing it in the real world cause of the consequences is exactly the kind of immaturity I'm referring to. It's also very disturbing that you can openly admit such and not realize the implications of what you are saying (at least it would be if I wasn't inured to it).
If you really were mature, if you really knew right from wrong, you wouldn't want to do such things at all... even in a virtual world with no co...
Sooo... what's the point of this particular mod? Blood and gore? Heh...
Seriously, shit like this does a great job of perpetuating the "bloodthirsty gamer" myth that the media loves to trot out after every act of underaged violence. The immaturity inherent in something like this mod dovetails quite nicely with their claims that children could never be expected to understand such violence is not acceptable in the real world.
I personally know tha...

I'm with the author on the state of scary movies and such.
That said... I screamed (like a man... i swear... men scream... some times...) when the white masked dude showed up.
The second time I decided he was like the rest of things I had run into (a bit disturbing but otherwise harmless) and I should just press on through. WRONG.
Must say... I'm impressed.
Do I sign in ink or do you need blood? Cause I'm good with ether.
Never liked the GTA games but this looks epic and a half.
FTA: "I understand this new system is implemented as a time sink in order not for players to rush through the game. But let's face it, this is 2012, gamers' mentality has changed, they want some fast, engaging action without having to repeat procedures too often."
uh... no. That has been gamers mentality since the days of Tennis for Two. Its only in the last 5 years that developers have been trying to pad their games out time-to-completion wise by closing o...
if you have three paths and only one of them is being camped... go one of the other two. That's pretty straight forward.
If all three are being camped then bravo... the other team is doing a good job. Your team needs to switch strategies to deal with it.
I'm sorry... but most modern multiplayer shooters are, from a tactical stand point, very similar to actual combat. And if you think there is a military any where in the world that responds to an entre...
And then there is spawn camping... where you die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, die, then scream bloody murder and ram your keyboard through...
Ugh... the Mass Effect 3 ending worked perfectly fine. What happened was people jumped on the bandwagon of repeating inaccurate information and outright BS. The ending of ME3 was completely consistent with the game up to that point, even the so called "star child." To date no one has been able to point out a single inconsistency to me that I couldn't prove them wrong on with in-game in-universe data. They have tried... but they have always turned out to be repeating misinformati...
