@vod_crack: If you have your TV on "PC Mode," that probably means that it's expecting full-range RGB signals. That means you should choose the "expanded" black level option in the 360 display settings menu.

If you've done that, I'm not sure. Maybe the HDMI inputs on your TV aren't working properly?

I would join in with the crowd of people telling you to talk about your issues with someone. If you have a nagging sense that you're not feeling as good as you should be feeling, you probably do have minor depression.

Sounds like you're in college - if you are, most colleges will have counseling/therapy centers where you can make an appointment to talk with a professional. I did, and now I'm going to a group therapy session in the school every week (for a different issue), and I think it's definitely helping me. I don't think it should cost anything - it doesn't for me - so take advantage of that if you can.

That is a fantastic video. GB community is on-point yet again.

The announcer, the amazing bullet points, the editing....

I could almost imagine Jeff reading the lines. It's like Giant Bomb was somehow contracted to make this trailer.

It's so good.

(I assume this is a joke, but even so)

I would call it a stereotype rather than racism - it's like assuming a white guy wearing plaid, horn-rimmed glasses with a thick neckbeard listens to obscure indie rock.

@subyman: I think the difference is that the male characters are written so as to be likable, while the female characters are meant to be annoying and shrill - they're just obstacles for the male characters to overcome. As far as I know, there are no female characters that are placed on the same level as any of the three male characters - minor or not. The main characters are interesting, multi-dimensional, and charismatic. Of course, it's hard to reveal the same depth of characterization in a minor character, but R* writes interesting side-characters all the time. Why couldn't one of them have been a woman this time?

I think some people are a little disappointed because of all the game developers out there, R* games have a huge impact on the rest of the industry, and they also have (or at least they give the impression that they have) a great deal of artistic freedom. This means that of all developers out there, R* are the ones who could have included a female protagonist or major female character, focus groups/marketing be damned. Of course, strippers, prostitutes, and shrill, annoying wives/mothers/etc are part of the milieu of the stories R* tells. But it's a little disappointing that they stay completely in that wheelhouse, while even Saints Row has some pretty cool female characters.

Or at least, that's how I see it.

Damn, he looks good for his age.

I guess I'm looking forward to how EA changes moving forward - I just hope it's for the better.

It seems like he's said this many times (and he's said in interviews that every time he finishes a movie, starting with Nausicca, he feels like he doesn't want to ever make himself go through that again).

If this is truly his final movie, though, he can rest well knowing that he's probably one of the greatest directors of the 20th century.

Find out in Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," the provocative short story in stores now!

It's an interesting move on EA's part, and gives the impression that they really want to compete with Steam.

I'm looking forward to seeing people's experiences with returning Origin games in the future. Obviously, they must prevent you from finishing a single-player game in 6 hours or whatever and then getting all your money back.
