Cyprus Financial Crisis, a real collapse possible?
Maybe it's time for another Kickstarter.

Might & Magic X Teased by Ubisoft, To Be Revealed at PAX East
They had to go prequel since after HoMM V the world is destroyed at the end of Dark Messiah (canon ending, although there was also a lame goodie two shoes ending).

If the big publishers are actually going to publish old-skool games again, Fargo will have to find another quip for his Kickstarter hype videos.

Never heard of Limbic. They should have gotten Nival interactive on board again, or any of the many other Russian devs that still dish out turn-based shovelware.

BBC: Nixon sabotaged Vietnam peace talks, Lyndon Johnson knew but kept quiet
Note that a helicopter crashed also during the Bin Laden assault. Must be an American thing.

Torment: Tides of Numenera?
I always chuckle when I see one of those diplomatic "No offense, followed by offense" statements.

Is there a name for the trope where two guys fight over the same girl and the girl goes for the (usually hurt) loser?

She likely didn't mention that in the classic Karateka, you would get killed by the damsel in distress in the end if you approached her in combat stance. Not to mention in Double Dragon it's two guys going after the damsel in distress. Though I usually sucked that much in the game that I always died before the final boss and the girl ended up with only one guy. Too sexist, I guess.

The 2008 Prince of Persia game had QTE combat and it was aggravating without a controller. At least it was impossible to die in that game.

As much as I like the hoary old Tomb Raiders, I wouldn't want to replay any of them. They had terrible controls and gameplay - and Core Design never developed the gameplay either, it's no wonder they could push out a game every year. By 1999/2000 there was still no Tomb Raider game with mouse control for Lara (even Angel of Darkness which came out in 2003 had none). Competitors like Drakan, Heavy Metal FAKK2, American McGee's Alice, Rune all played astronomically better. Crystal Dynamics' games are at least fun to play.

Mentioning you hate EA and first day DLC always helps.

Just because a character is a damsel in distress, doesn't mean the character needs to be passive like Princess Peach. or Princess Daphne. Princess Zelda and the Princess from Mechner's Prince of Persia games both still helped out the main character in their own way.

It's easy to be "confident in your sexuality" like Isabella when you have a friend who cures all your STDs for free.
