Fragile Impressions article -- can't wait for that game.

Last para:

A final warning: ... I have some amount of tolerance for anime styling. If you can't handle things like a whiny, somewhat androgynous protagonist and the kind of voice actors you hear in dubs of anime shows (or Japanese speech, if you prefer), you will not be able to deal with Fragile Dreams. If you're confident you can accept that kind of stuff, though, Fragile Dreams seems like it could make a meditative counterpoint to all the bombast usually present in games.

Translation:

If you are a racist and you have trouble tolerating things from other cultures, then this game might not be for you.  There are almost no guns and no whore-killing at all.  There are also no on-line vehicular combat levels or footballs.  If you're confident you can accept that kind of stuff, though, Fragile Dreams seems like it could make a meditative counterpoint to all the bombast usually present in games.

^ Behold American culture.  I try to laugh at nationalism, but it isn't always sufficient to drown out the sorrow of knowing that some people really think that way.  That this is actually representative of a substantive portion of the populous.

And every culture. Every place has their own share of hardcore nationalism.

Okay let's try it again

And don't break the chain this time.

THIS.

Love this song.

EDIT: It is a fact, browsing the internet while listening to Earth, Wind and Fire is awesome.

This is some grim shit men.  if Activision can't make money with Modern Warfare and WoW, then what future is in store for our beloved hobby? (See story above).

Let me take this in a glass-half-full angle.  It can mean that these mega-corporations that buy out the smaller studios are doomed to failure, so we won't see the industry monopolized, and/or that ActivisionBlizzard being run under the rule of "people should be miserable" is getting the results it deserves.

That's how my place of work is run. They make complete fucking morons into managers and treat the hard workers like assholes.

Halo Reach is MINDBLOWING AMAZING!!!! That is the Halo game I have been waiting to see this gen. They made sure to address what I loved so much about Halo 1 and not so much about Halo 2, more open world exploration like Halo 1, perfect. It flat out looks phenomenal.

I was quite impressed with the Halo reach webdoc. It makes Halo 3 look like some stop gap measure. Is it going to be the last true Halo game that Bungie do? From what the guy was saying, it sounds like it.

Personally, I thought ODST absolutely blew Halo 3 away in itself. And Halo 2. That game was already more like Halo 1 and a more impressive game, but unfortunately it seems like since they had to tie it into Halo 3 instead of just calling it HALO: ODST that people don't give it the cred it deserves.

And BTW.....I've been temporarily suspended at GAMESPOT!!! Oh Nnnnooo!!! LMAO
