@EquitasInvictus: I will do it, but I need a 50,000 to fund the survey, got some spare change?

Let me pass it to some desperate Packaging Engineering faculty from school, I'm sure they know people who have grants in their pockets for this kind of "business."

Catherine was big, but Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was a controversy that practically conceived Giant Bomb in the first place! (Not really but kind of?)

Curses! This thread is still behind that wrestling thread for most posts from the previous month.

On the other hand, we did beat the Team Brad thread...

Someone should conduct a study on whether Tetris actually helps with packing skills or not. I personally haven't played enough Tetris to know, but would start if there was substantial evidence in the form of an empirical, scientific study that found a correlation between packing and Tetris competency!

I'm pretty sure the trailer wasn't intended to highlight the actual complexity of the game's systems (considering past SimCities) buit simply introduced it to people who are new to the franchise, considering it has been so long since its last iteration.

I don't know about you, but I would've totally appreciated the video as an introduction to how zoning and the such works (when I was a kid playing the original SimCity iterations, it took me a while to figure it out myself). I'm sure they described the needs of a sim so succinctly just to help explain the game's systems. It's probably a lot more complicated than that, in reality, knowing how SimCities work. You'll probably still be able to one way or another act on your ideas for SimCity, actually.

@TheHumanDove: You should tell us how it is! It looks interesting, but I don't know if I'd rather just stick with Day Z or try this.

@banishedsoul1: I'll recommend Shiki. I'll warn you that the pacing in the beginning is a bit slow and it actually almost lost me, but as it built up and reached its climax it turned out being one of the most amazingly profound horror series I've experienced in recent memory. It basically reminded me of a really memorable Twilight Zone episode towards the end and that's probably what made it especially profound for me.

@Bocam: Speaking of the manga they should really pick up the pace of catching us up with the licensed and translated manga in the U.S., I feel like we're sooooooo many volumes behind and it's pretty disheartening since Hayate is practically the only manga I'm willing to follow and put money into. I only wish we could catch up.

But yeah season 3 is definitely ahead considering there's a few characters we're expected to know off the bat that were introduced in the manga after the second season and were carried over from the film to this season.

Actually, now that I think about it, there might be a chance we'll actually have some Athena action (maybe they'll squeeze in the End of the World arc by means of flashback?) considering they bothered to tease her in the film's OP and the fact that it's Manglobe that did the film and is doing season 3, so there's still hope!

World in Conflict for sure. I love the Cold War setting and it also has Alec Baldwin. The expansion is especially interesting playing from the Soviet side.

I STILL NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME >:(

I dunno, Wargame is sick, as was every Men of War game. Not sure if that's just cause they are great games though.

You should play World in Conflict.

It's definitely my favorite recent RTS and my favorite RTS that features modern weapons systems. Probably the best RTS campaign I've played in the past few years, too. Oh and they play Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Great stuff.

Grew up with the Command & Conquer franchise, and as much as I'm not a biggest fan of it post-Westwood (curse you, EA!), it still has a place in my heart. Especially loved how tongue-in-cheek the Red Alert games were.
