Guild Wars 2
Crystal Desert here. I was very happy at how non-elf my Sylvari looks, and the Asura have a pretty swank city.

I think you'd be surprised, these cell phones are pretty dang powerful. Screen size is the real challenge.

Shadowrun Returns
It doesn't look like the MMO kickstarter is going too great, but I think that is expected. Jagged Alliance is another cult property they are working with, and they haven't really won over that crowd with their choices. It's also good to see people aren't just funding everything without some caution.

It saves pretty regularly on the autosave spot, when you exit shops or your homebase. Yes, I also save it quite regularly on my own. Do you mean you can't save in the middle of missions? I've never seen that as a big problem, the missions are all pretty short.

Shadowrun Returns
Apparently they are the team that did Jagged Alliance Online. I don't know if that speaks well for them.

What you did today
Agreed, I just don't get it. I looked at that picture for awhile and none of them interest me.

The guys from Andromeda, working on a new Space Quest, just let out the word that Lori and Corey Cole are planning a Kickstarter for a new Quest for Glory game!

critics loved it IIRC They loved ME3's "artistic ending" too. However I'd also call ME3's ending another debacle despite the fact that ME3 also sold well. Bioware at least tried to do something about it though, which is different then many companies do. I think you are placing your opinions, or even that of the vocal internet minorities, a bit too high here. Both Spore and ME3 are very successful both critically and in sales, which is all that matters to the game companies. Niether was a runaway hit like The Sims, but the word debacle really doesn't fit. My personal opinion? I actually liked the original ending of ME3 to a degree, but I understood where people were coming from. I thought it made sense, was cohesive, and I enjoyed it overall. What I stated didn't actually reflect my opinion, thanks for the accusation. debacles might not affect the current iteration's sales immediately, but eventually they tank the sales so that even if it sales great initially, it has no long standing in sales (which is why you can't find Spore as easily on shelves these as you can some other games that were released even before spore). Spore itself brought more debacle then ME3 in that it brought several class action lawsuits against EA, as well as forcing EA to back down on it's DRM ideas to the point of even releasing (or supposedly) a DRM free model on Steam. Some would say any press, even bad press, is good press, but I tend to disagree. I apologize if you think I was accusing you of something, that's why I included the bolded part in my post. I can understand what you are saying on some level, that Spore and ME3 damaged the intellectual property in some way. Spore still ened up with a couple expansions, so I"m not really sure if that is true. I guess we will see with ME3.

Will Wright: "Console guys are running scared" Quote is a bit out of context, he said: He is also talking more about mobile devices than the return of the PC.

It will be interesting to see if we can ever get a mainstream hit out of a video game property. I saw some Halo commercial the other day and it looked like a movie, but then it turned out to be a game trailer. The Final Fantasy movie actually did pretty well, I think it pulled in close to $100 million. The problem was it cost over that to make, so it is considered a bomb.

I see your Aeon Flux and raise you an Ultraviolet. Actually I think its a draw. Charlize Theron is pretty perfect in that picture.

Some of them have their charm, like the Resident Evil series. Eventually I think we will get a renaissance like with comic book adaptations. Those were terrible for a long time too.

Shadowrun Returns
I'm super excited to play an Orc, it's easily one of the coolest origin stories out there for how they came into being.
