You just described Rifts.
DC universe is an mmo. I was thinking more along the lines of Infamous with Grand Theft Auto style MP games. Or maybe CoD. I keep hearing good things about that one.
The other thing that will make #2 new and unusual (not necessarily innovative) the character creation is for sp and mp. Aren't too many action adventure games where you can create your own player character.
After reading about Japanese Kaitens, dogs with c4 just isn't all that shocking.
Lol. I rented American Psycho and Fight Club at the same time. I remember almost feeling sorry for Jared Leto after watching them.
It's Patrick Bateman. Christian Bale's character in American Psycho.
id has earned the right to exclude DM and CTF. They DID invent the FPS after all.
Why am I even commenting? I'm not a fan of FPS games. Oh well, well written blog deserves the last approval needed to put it on the front page.
He didn't. The games listed are Metroid Prime, Sonic Adventure, Half-Life 2, GTA 3 and GTA 4. Final Fantasy 7 is nowhere on the list.
The picture of Sephiroth next to a title including to word Overrated is a guaranteed attention grabber.
Leonardo daVinci (AC2, brotherhood, and probably Revelations)
Zeke Jedediah Dunbar (inFamous 1 & 2)
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid 2)
Larry DaVinci (Little Big Planet 2)
You say "nerd" like it's a bad thing.
For every sports hero you throw at me I can name a nerd who has achieved more.
Then again, as knowlegeable about technology as you are, you're a nerd too. Yes I said it. Bodybuilder or not, you're a nerd. Be proud. We invented everything with moving parts.
There are three categories of falsehood:
1) lies
2) damnable lies
3) statistics

To the publishers I say; Quit whining about used game sales. You already sold that copy. It's not like a new copy was made and you're getting nothing out of it. IT'S THE SAME COPY YOU ALREADY SOLD. This online pass is looking like a way for you to sell the same game twice. No, no, no. you already made your money off that game. sell another copy and move on.
To the gamers I say; quit your whining about this new online pass. It's no...

(@ 1.1.1) Okay I see what you're saying now. Never saw Donnie Darko so I didn't catch the reference.
involving the faculty/administration has a pretty spotty success record, partially because of the size of the schools. Ever try babysitting two or three thousand 12 year olds? Usually both the bully and the victim end up getting a stern lecture and sent on their way. More drastic action is frequently reserved for when a fight breaks out, or a suicide, or a massacre. At...
Good thinking. Then, not only do you get ripped to shreds by the now very angry bully, you're also in trouble with the school administration for fighting.
That's precisely what this letter writing campaign is doing. People who send this are announcing their intention to stop buying Ubisoft games. The letter is the only difference between this campaign and what you're suggesting.

You just described The Ballad of Gay Tony.
I'll add another crazy idea. Instead of blaming MW2, let's blame ANDERS BEHRING BREIVIK for all the people that ANDERS BEHRING BREIVIK killed.
I know it's a crazy idea, but, last time I checked, we christians are big on personal accountability. ABB did this. Not mw2, not gta4, not mgs4, not halo, I could maybe see blaming Black Ops for an attack on Treyarch, but the SHOOTER bears ultimate resposibility for the death that he caused.
I feel like t...
Can someone tell me why we can't blame they guy who actually did the SHOOTING? I know it's a novel concept: a paradigm shift in accountability. I think when a kid pulls a 5-7 and shoots a half dozen of his classmates let's blame the guy with the gun.
I know it's revolutionary: personal accountability. But I think we should give it a try.
I did lowball the price a bit didn't I? It would be an ambitious undertaking. I'll agree with that. If it can't all be done at once then.... cazzo. Maybe something like Just Cause 2, with a great big map.
