I'm confused... is this supposed to be movies adapted from video games, or movies that have video games central to the storyline?

Regardless... Scott Pilgrim, Tron, and Grandma's Boy have little to do with either.

Have you seen Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? That movie is positively swimming in videogame. And it is gloriouz.

I love that movie, but including it in a list of "video game" movies is like including Inglourious Basterds in a list of "movies about movies".

Not to mention that is was adapted from the comic book series, and the main fighting storyline was inspired more by musicals than video games.

But, whatever, I don't really care that much. Good movies are good movies, no reason to pigeon hole 'em!

Mix between the two. No wait-list, fast, cheap, good styling, friendly. And like someone said before, having a stranger wash your hair for you is a one-of-a-kind experience... every few months.

Even though they kept repeating their horror stories, after it was over I've never wanted to have a kid of my own more. It was a weird reaction. I want the sleep deprivation, the constant crying, and the diapers.

As a 23 year-old male, it's been hammered in since birth by the media to be adverse to children. I've always thought that was strange, and even more now. I don't think I can ever be content with my life until I have a child.

When a podcast, who's best quote is "Tell your mom to suck a dick", can have this effect on me really says something about these 4 guys.

Thanks Will, Vinny, Jeff, and Dave.

Well Jeff just tweeted that he ordered a pizza..

Wait... pizza?

Is this a subtle hint that there is a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game coming out?!

Nice way getting around those embargo's Jeff, don't think the investigative team isn't catching on to your "subtle" hints.

The word "pizza" is derived from the original Greek "pitta". Therefore, this is irrefutable evidence that Jeff hates God of War. Either that, or he actually ordered gyros and didn't want to offend anyone who opposes the Greek way of life.

Can we all just agree that the game in question is God of War, Jeff's game is Sim City, and be done with it?

Okay, I am really thinking that Sessler and Dale North are playing God of War: Ascension.

@ChaseJustChase, the PR representative that contacted Sessler, specifically lists God of War: Ascension on his resume. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/chase-chase/10/232/b54

And considering Dale North specifically mentions Kratos, awkward platforming, and "chain puzzles", this sounds like GoW:A.

Yeah, and Gies keeps talking about God of War. Mentions about PS4, and Uncharted. Probably God of War.

Gies did mention they will be reviewing Sim City, that there was a caveat they got around or something. Could be that Sim City decided to give review copies, Jeff picked it up because Ryan is out. Would explain the mouse/PC comment.

I wonder about Sim City. Now that I'm looking into it, Gies specifically complains that Polygon won't be reviewing it early since they aren't turning on the servers until release day. He expresses dismay at that fact and suggests that it's potentially disastrous. I'm pretty sure now that Gies, Sessler, North, and a few other reviewers tweeting this weekend have been playing review copies of God of War: Ascension.

Though, I have no idea what Jeff is playing. Maybe Gies is wrong and some review copies are out there; you said he indicated that they maybe had a way around it? Just seems very confused. What other recent PC game might be giving Jeff such a fit? And are we sure he's reviewing the game or just pissed at one?

The only other PC game that can make someone go crazy I can think of is Trials Evolution's PC port. But playing that with a mouse doesn't make sense. Well, we'll find out soon enough.
