The problem with Public Enemies was always that it wasted its potential. Lex Luthor as President of the United States? With the influence to oppose Superman like never before? In a position to prove himself as the prime human being? And a situation where you can explore both his character and...

There are a lot of things that aren't good for you that the state doesn't ban. I'd argue tobacco is, all in all, really bad for anybody and any of the perceived benefits (like "I'm okay with the health issues" or "It makes me feel good") could be adequately replaced with less harmful activities...

Animals like the crane fly are one of the things that make natural selection unbelievably fascinating to me. What do these things do that allows them to still exist, what niche do they fill in their ecosystem and what advantages do they have as far as evolution goes? Not many, as we've seen. But...

All-Star Superman is incredible. It's not a flawless adaptation - couldn't be, considering the comic is pretty much the perfect Superman story - but it's executed so well and the plot tackles so many different aspects of Superman and Lex Luthor like no other.

The longest fights are those that involve large amounts of random NPCs who aren't really important in the conflict but still have to take their turns. The Adytum fight has to be the longest confrontation in any turn-based game I've played just because you needed to wait for every single citizen...

Actually, it's both the T-45d and the T-60. You can see the first two pictures are of the T-45d, with a skinnier frame, slightly different details on the mask and another chest plate, while the latter two pictures are of the T-60 proper. Cool that they're doing multiple models, I hope the T-51b...

While I'm not saying it's not impressive - 111,000 is still quite a lot to record for a game regardless of contente - we have to consider the writing style of the BGS team appears to lend itself to shorter lines and more compact dialogue. We see that in Skyrim, a bit in Fallout 3 and a lot in...

The fact they emphasized that makes me afraid we will have even more of the ultra-scaled leveling that was already a problem in FO3. As in, a Level 1 character with leather armor who just came out of the vault can fight Super Mutants because they're set to also be Level 1. Ideally you'd have a...

I'm not entirely sure what it's supposed to represent, but as an avatar it's visually interesting and not too extravagant. 6.5/10 Son, Stone Cold Steve Austin is a global icon and a true idol to the working man. You're lucky he's not here to open a can of whoop-ass on you after drinking some...

The relatively static world makes dialogue and location placement the biggest indicators, really - as in, we don't really see a bunch of carriages taking goods from city to city but we know from the layout of cities/roads and from the characters that some routes and activities are more important...

Uh, I'm not ignoring anything, you're just changing the subject. Now it's about how the in-game conflicts and quests were presented. Which was awful. I was arguing only about the in-game world economy and location setup. In any other case I'll be the first to criticize Skyrim, meaning there is...

At this point your entire argument is just refusing to accept that scale has an effect in design. "Oh this would make sense if the game was in real size, but since it's not, there is no excuse!" It would be totally unreasonable to expect a huge country to be represented anywhere near a realistic...

L-shaped desks are a godsend for office design. They can occupy space so much more efficiently than normal desks and feel great to use. You can use one side for your computer and the other to write (or draw or whatever your work involves), and there's plenty of space to put tools you might use...

Of course - you're already used to touching something mini frequently, right?

Love his facial expression and the details on the suit. 8/10

I actually have the opposite view - a through understanding of how things work allow me to enjoy them so much more. Look at general knowledge of physics, chemistry or biology, you know, the kind people learn in high school. Compared to all there is to know about those subjects, the average...

Skyrim runs on a semi-feudal economy, in the sense that the Jarls grant pieces of land in exchange for taxes or benefits, and trade is based mostly on inter-provincial commerce that's been in place since the times of Alessia when Skyrim was incorporated into the Empire. Solitude has a large tax...

Fallout 3 gives you the option to nuke a city within the first 10 minutes of gameplay with no importance or consequence. That's hardly mature storytelling. Being mature is more than just a gritty world and dark jokes, it needs to tackle themes, and in serious ways. I don't expect that from...

Not a chance in hell. Fallout 4 has a big hype wave behind it but GTA V was the most ambitious game of the biggest modern game franchise in the world with the best marketing job ever done for a game. GTA is hugely popular with all kinds of crowds, age groups and locations. Even then they didn't...

The average Joe feels better throught his day, he has an easier time getting into sports if he wants to, he can speak with more confidence at his job, he has more respect from his friends, he knows for sure he will have to deal with far less diseases and health issues than his peers... it would...
