Father Grigori? He lives? Seriously, it's been checked, and he can hold out indefinitely against the zombies.
You can (and probably should) listen to this one at http://www.npr.org/player/v...
This one actually was sort of an addendum to one on the MoH controversy. It actually had some interesting points, including an interview with a academic defending gaming in general. It rarely happens, but I'm always pleased when my radio gets gaming in my NPR.
It does seem idiotic to have to apply a hack to be able to play a PC game, well, on your PC.
Even though I disagree with him, it's a well written piece. I heard on my way home from work - it's definitely worth listening too as well.
It's an interesting concept. Now if they can just get to work on auto-muting anyone under 18...
Tester's are in a position where they don't want to say, "It's garbage and you shouldn't publish it." If publishers listen, they're out of a job, if publishers don't listen, they're liable to get fired if they don't provide constructive feedback, even if they know such feedback will be meaningless (because a turd is still a turn no matter how much you polish it).
How do games like this even get made? I mean, when you consider that you need a small army to make a game, you'd think that at some point in the chain of command, someone would realize, "Woah, this is really terrible." Though maybe having so many people is a pitfall of its own: everyone is focused on their specific role, and thus everyone misses the forest for their own little tree.
Psssst. I'll tell you a secret: most Halo players are only really interested in multiplayer. You didn't hear it from me.
I know for a fact that I got a copy of Persona 3: FES for 8 bucks at EB that would have cost me 19-25 online (not to mention the waiting). And this was only after my order with a 3rd party seller on Amazon got canceled, after they suddenly realized they didn't actually have it in stock.
I don't see anything wrong with shopping at Gamestop. That's how capitalism works. If you don't like it, go to China (though it'll be pretty much the same there)
The whole thing seems fake. Like, they invented some people to say, "Surely, this is but a cutscene", so they could respond with, "Nay, it is from the gameplay, which in good sooth is just that awesome."
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer;
i.e., It's funny because we're underwhelmed.
I'm not sure there's much real "Romance" in Bioshock. The first game had Diane McClintock, but both of those ended rather badly.
Nomura still has some credibility - its basically just everyone else at SE who I don't trust. He's been focusing on Kingdom Hearts for a while though, so it'll be interesting to see what he does with a regular FF title, even if it is a spinoff sort of thing.
Ah, but this will be your last chance to buy them dirt cheap. I know, at least, that I had to make a little sojourn to the next town over in order to locate an inexpensive copy of Persona 3: FES (which, by the way, you couldn't really call multiplatform, since P3P doesn't have The Answer).
It's just my opinion of course - and in fact, I mostly picked games I thought people (i.e. the mainstream gamer) might not have played. I know, at least, that I let Persona 3 and 4 slip me by since they came out right near the end of the PS2's life-cycle.
The thing about the PS2, though, was that it was also a PS1. And the PS3 is not always a PS2, unfortunately.
Could you explain this a little further? Wouldn't they sell more copies of the game if it was available to more people? I'm just sayin...

Yeah, I heard this on NPR and I thought it would have like 500 rating...this is just sad. If gamers really care so little about preserving their freedom of expression, they're only going to notice when some major government really does pass with sort of law.
