That VR coding stuff just further convinces me that at this stage it's all going to be very convincing blocks. It's going to be like you're in front of the block though.

To the GU crew: just finished listening, interesting idea put forth by Foolz on the nature of interactivity in games.  Would love to see you guys delve deeper into this.  It's something I care about as well, as I've always shied away from games more reliant on storytelling and flashy animations that require little imput from the player.  Eurogamer wrote something that's adjecantly relevant about how some players just go along with the ride, while others will try to test the boundaries and brake them.

I started Braid. Which is nothing like what I expected...and I've played the fucking thing before.

So what's the reason for MGS5 being called 'The Phantom Pain'?  Is it because the last half of the story got cut, or is there another reason?

So far as I can remember Phil definitely wants to return to it, judging by his reaction.

I have resisted watching this feeble telly production for the illiterate masses, as not to spoil the books by having all the characters look like crude actors who undoubtfully still all have their noses, as well as having the names in the books ring hollow with american accents far inferior to my own botched reprodution of the spoken English language.  However, insinuations pointing towards such titilating imagery greatly undermine my willpower to remain steadfast in my resolution.

Also, as edited in my original post, how does everyone feel about the series getting ahead of the books, thus revealing what will happen in 24fps first, while at the same time stating that the books may not follow what happened in the series (or is it the other way around?)

edit: how the hell did that gif become mirrored by quoting it?

Most of the actors are British or Europeans with good English accents anyway. They have sort of done the geography like the U.K with the Southerners and Northerners in terms of accents and geography. Even the red haird wildlings being like red haired scots.

My point still stands regardless of what accents are used in the series.  The way I pronounce Daenerys Targaryen is bound to differ from how the rest of the TV loving world knows it.

edit: also, what's everyone's view on the new season divulging into matters that may or may not happen in the upcomming books?

I don't know any of those words you just used, but I can tell you that TV is good.
