Nonsense. Fat = unsexy = no Sex. You are forgetting the boob factor, which a lot of men fall for. also, I distinctly remember the fat girls in school being the "easy" ones. The thin girls always got to pick and choose, the fat ones not so much. I guess they ended up using sex as a bargaining chimp.

World of Goo, Devil May Cry 4, Trials 2, Audiosurf, Hinterland.

Only the fourth? What are the second and third exports? In Portugal there's a recently made official language which isn't spoken more than 500 people as a first language, and which no one is being taught as a first language. It would be like Latin being an official language of Italy, only 500 times worse.

When I was talking about the self inflicted silliness I wasn't referring to the comic relief bits, but rather to the oh-so-serious plot and writing which seemed really kind of awful.

You played "parts" of a MGS game? Blasphemy! MGS games aren't known for their PC ports, and I've been an almost exclusive PC gamer for many, many years.

I only played parts of the first one and the plot and characters did not impress me. The gameplay was good fun, though.

MGS is serious of the type which is full of itself and not aware of the self inflicted silly.

That keyboard looks like it's 20 years old.

Right now, Mass Effect still crashes a lot for me, especially on startup.

Mass Effect gave me a lot of buggy aggravation.

The sale is over, so the topic is over as well.

The best character on TV is a tractor unit with a manly voice? Even bloody KITT was better than that.

Coming from the team that made the shallow Dead Space, I'm not expecting something worthwhile. I dunno, if they went for as dumb as possible, yet very self-aware, it could work.

I wonder how Dante's Inferno is going to turn out.

Then I think I will pass. If they are going for a Jason Bourne-lite approach, play style, setting then I can play many other watered down games like that. I was hoping they were going to take the setting, atmosphere and subject seriously. Scratch one more game off my list. I'm trying to figure out how you jumped from "more lighthearted than Deus Ex", to "Jason Bourne-lite approach, play style, setting." Just because a game is more lighthearted in tone, it doesn't necessarily mean it's dumbed down. It could be a satire of the spy genre, for example.

I'm back from the party and 17 hours into the new year. Happy New Year.

The Last Express Mostly awesome.

Bok is clearly an evil man.

This seems like it will be much more light hearted than Deus Ex. Probably won't take itself half as seriously as Deus Ex did.

Civilization still screws me like that, once in a while. It's definitely the game I've spent the most time playing. I have to keep it off my hard drive, if I want to get stuff done.
