I would rather take my chances with the reapers. :p

If by "choose effectively" you mean stay as far away from you as possible, then yes. I'm surprised anyone survived the suicide mission, but I'm guessing that's not for a lack of trying.

Wait, you killed Wrex? Remind me never to be on your crew. :p

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.

I think he wants you to use Tumblr. He'd totally reblog all of your posts.

Normally I love co-op, but this is Fable, so I will lower my expectations accordingly.

I wouldn't call the gameplay in the first Mass Effect dated, so much as I would call it different. And, well, flawed, I guess. The main story is a lot better than in the sequel, though. As long as you don't overindulge on sidequests and don't mind emptying your inventory every couple of hours, it's a lot of fun. Eh, they're both decent enough platformers, but the main reason to play them is the imaginative places you visit and the dark twists on the classic characters (more so in the first game, as the second game seems to focus on more obscure characters). It's been over a decade since I played the first game, but I don't remember the levels dragging on as much as they did in the sequel. If you can live with average gameplay because you think the other stuff makes up for it, then they're worth playing.

That's a horrible thing to say about Paj.

Alice: Madness Returns isn't that good, anyway. Stick with Mass Effect.

You already complained about the use of a school bus as an example last time, Moogle. :p

STOP BEING SO PREJUDICED PAJ.

I'm pretty sure someone already posted this in the Funny Stuff thread ages ago.

TOO LATE YOU ALREADY SAID I WAS CORRECT. 1 is Tales of Symphonia.

5 looks like F-Zero GX. Well, something to do with F-Zero, anyway. Racing games suck. :p

Aww, you should have bought the oldest and dinkiest car you could find and cruised around his neighborhood. He wouldn't have been able to resist you! Oh well.

Nightwolf, shame on you! You're supposed to like a guy on N-E! What does this guy have that Goafer doesn't? Does he own three cars? I think not!

Man, the spam bot people things really like this thread for some reason.

I don't think so... But yeah, the special tanooki leaf is the answer to all your prayers. I'd be surprised if it takes more than a couple of tries to finish the level if you bring two of them with you.

No, I meant the kind of tanooki leaf you get instead of the regular ones in the bonus levels. :p Just get the two in the first bonus level and you'll finish the final level easily.

The final level is a cinch with the... um... special tanooki leaf.

Of course they do. Maybe put the half-naked girls in the back behind the robots and pirates.

Do you hide those statues when you have girls over, or do you display them proudly?

Here's mine. I really wish Facebook would leave the picture quality alone, but oh well.

To be fair, the one thing Dear Esther has going for it in my opinion is that it's pretty. A lot of people seem to like it, though, so there must be something good about it. To me, it was just metaphors within metaphors and slowly walking around for an hour and a half. I guess I was hoping the story would be somewhat interesting or that it would have some sort of emotional resonance, but it was just too dull. Hmm, I don't know. IGN doesn't have Bashcraft. I can't believe I used to read IGN regularly at one point. Their television reviews were the shallowest things every written. "This thing happened, then this thing happened, and at the end of the episode this thing happened. It was okay. 6/10." But that's IGN for you, I guess - critical thinking is strictly forbidden.

Alternate titles for Dear Esther: Holding down W: The Game Purple Prose: The Game The Kotaku review made me laugh, at least. He said there was nothing to the game except the story, and he didn't like the story at all. He still recommended that people play it, though, because it's so ~unique~. Who cares about that if it's not good? You don't have to recommend it just because it's different, you know. It's okay not to like it.
