Calling the leather jacket free is stretching the definition of the word a bit, I think. :p

Peeps speaks the truth. Game of Thrones always has an HD release you can watch, too. :p

Happy birthday, Dean. You know, if your name had had "cat" in it, this thread would have been filled with pictures of cats instead of lame cube jokes.

Just watch it the day after it airs in the US like a normal person. Game of Thrones has been officially renewed for a third season, much to the surprise of Peeps.

My favorite is the #mindblown one, because it reminds me of the discussion we had recently on why the chicken crossed the road.

But do they look better than these:

What past relationship? THANKS A LOT, EDDIE.

Playing with the mouse and keyboard makes the game control just like Mass Effect/Dragon Age/other current RPGs on the PC. Playing with just the mouse apparently turns the whole thing into an isometric game, if that's your kind of thing. I haven't tried it myself, though, as I like having the camera closer and I assume you'd still want to use the keyboard for shortcuts. Edit: Not that you'll read this.

I know what you mean is, "she's so beautiful that even I - a gay man - find her attractive", but all I can read it as is, "she looks like a man". *Has nothing constructive to add to music threads*

I just hope it doesn't turn out like this.

Lots more here.

Eh, maybe when it's over. :p

Well, that's the last time I sign up for one of your mafias after it's already over.

That's a good point. Thank God the gaming companies are always releasing remakes of their old classics. It's nice that someone's thinking of the children. Of course, we'd still find things to complain about in the versions they play. :p

"My favorite game? F-Zero. I mean, I guess. It's not too bad. I've played worse games." That's what you sound like. :p There will definitely be plenty of things to complain about in the next Zelda game, no matter how good it is or what the graphics look like. I look forward to everyone talking about how much better Skyward Sword was.

My first mafia! That's witty enough. I'll leave you guys to it.

Seriously? Aww, man. The one mafia I wanted to participate in.

I'm in! .....

At least something good comes from owning a Wii! :p Though I think it's quite telling that you said they didn't look "too bad". I didn't mean to imply that they look terrible, but you have to remember that that was as good as graphics got at one point! (Plus it's also things you'd only see in motion, like characters' faces when they talk or stiff animations - things that generally tend to age better when they're cartoony and intentionally exaggerated.) Anyway, we're all going to play the next Zelda no matter what it looks like.

I'm not sure why anyone was excited about seeing Roxas, Axel and Xion eating ice cream. I still wake up in a cold sweat sometimes after a nightmare about 358/2 Days and its 358 scenes of the main characters eating ice cream. [/slight exaggeration] I don't skip games. It doesn't seem fair to speak about the series as a whole if you're going to skip all of the bad games. :p

I wish we were in the spoiler thread, because this post is short and stupid and using a spoiler box just makes it seem like I have something important to say, but...

But what if he prefers the later episodes over the classic ones? WHAT THEN? :p I think that would be worse than your child not being interested in video games at all. They love video games, but they refuse to play any of the classics. "Dad, why would I play Super Mario Bros. 3 when I could be playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii U? That has much better graphics and co-op!" "Ocarina of Time? More like Ocarina of Terrible Graphics!" (Kids aren't very good at insults.) I'd feel so old.

They could just build new booths out of booth babes. Best E3 ever?

THERE IS NO TURNING BACK NOW. *Waits for Goafer to tell Danny that unfortunately he can't pick him up at the airport*

"I don't believe in visual styles aging well or badly." "The Wind Waker looked fantastic on release and always will." Makes sense. I remember back when the Quake III Arena engine was state of the art and I thought every game that used it looked fantastic. Going back to play games that used that engine ten years later always reminds me of how badly the graphics in realistic-looking games tend to age.
