Not sure if they are as expensive as hiring reputed musicians to make symphonies, historians to create new languages, and hiring voice actors to dub every line of dialogue in the game.

That's alright. I just have to get used to it.

On a related point, I can't associate Ender's new avatar to him :/

Crusader: No Rectum sounds strangely appealing... In some way I can't explain.

First version of Cyclops' visor.

Fixed. And yes.

Fixed.

I stopped keeping up to date with X-Men right before Age of Apocalypse. I read the cliffhanger issue of the M'Kraan Crystallization and Legion's murder of Xavier, and pretty much remained at that.

Holy alien conspiracy, Wonder Boy!

Japan and China are becoming weirder than all of Kim Jong-Ill's madness combined. I don't think there's any other place on earth which combines reality and fantasy as well as either of those two places. Japan remains the main offender, though.

Fallout Online: Crunch Time, the new BBC reality show. Next week vote on who you think should leave: Herve or the rats.

And the site has been updated.

I think that is true, and is a likely catalyst. However, let's be honest: most of the time developers can claim something is innovative without it actually being so. Most gamers by far and large gobble up developer promises and hype... Then amusingly nevermind the lack of what was promised or advertised.

Who writes these laws? It sounds weirder than a Burton and Lynch movie combined.

We'll all see, I guess. While I also like details, sometimes I wish there was more than them to keep me going.

There's always an increased chance that new technology provides for more complex games. But how many have actually become more complex in things other than graphics or animations? When you look at systems like Geomod or Havok physics, they are exceptional tools; yet, how many games actually use them beyond their primary function? This is especially true of Havok, which allows for unique model collapse, which translates into my gaming experience as never watching an enemy die in the exact same manner. That's all cute but it's periphal, just as the proposed functionalities of Oblivion's engine.

....Any comments I make would just not compare to the hilarity of those two bits.

I guess at some point the embelishment of the circle lulls out of the notion we're going in circles... Beauty has that tendency.

Hateful Chris.

The face of gaming is that of a tired old prostitute. It doesn't really get changed, they just wash it, put some makeup, and try to sell her to the media again. We've been going in circles, really.

Invisible War would never live up to Deus Ex, even if it did. The problem with the game was that it was disappointing, both as a game and as a sequel. Then again, that's pretty much in the past. I expect Spector learned something of it, but I'm not optimistic.

An actually new Contra game, not hacked remakes like the GBA version.

True. Super R-Type 3 was also fun.

My online handle translates to: Demented Whore. My real name translates into: Twisted Whispers.
