After listening to the 'leg' debate it made me wonder which Giantbomb personality would be the tastiest.

Almost positively Brad.

In a super-reductive sense Last of Us sounds a bit like Enslaved (post-apocalyptic, escorting a girl around).

I wonder when we'll see a game with a female protagonist that has to escort a useless male character?

Sorry to be the literal prick, but not being a fan of cannibalism I'm gonna have to go with Luchadeer.

Man, Dragon's Dogma sounds really cool in spots, but a massive bummer in others. I honestly don't think I could tolerate an open world game on that scale without fast-travel.

Stephen King wrote a short story called My Survivor about a surgical doctor who is trapped on a desert island with nothing to eat, so he eventually starts cutting off his own limbs and eats them to stay alive. The entire story he talks about how his hands are his lively hood and he can't damage them so, of course, at the end he ends up cutting off a hand to eat it. It's a good little story and it's all I could think of when they were talking about eating your own leg.

To the guy who wrote in about Diablo server stuff.

I almost did the same thing myself, as the blizzard store didn't really point out there are seperate clients. Anyways, unlike what the guys are saying it's highly unlikely it'll change, as it would require a complete redesign of Battle.net and most of Blizzards modern games. It's even just strange that you have access to both as both WoW and SC2 actually restricts you to your region (I cannot play on US servers with my EU WoW account for instance). In fact, the game actually operates with 2 completely different accounts when you change servers, with seperate friendslists and achievements. Also if you try to log in to the Korean servers it will straight up say your account isn't authorized.

And ye, it's sorta bullshit, but it's the same shit they've been doing for a while now. Although as I said, be glad you even have access to both regions.

More Diablo 3 miconceptions being perpetuated. And Brad wasn't even there to do it this time. If you're playing by yourself the game absolutely pauses when you hit escape.

The return of Jeff's Brad impression filled me with so much glee.

But seriously guys. I found that cannibalism discussion more than a little disturbing.

We're getting to the point where the only things releasing during holiday season will be the "annuals" like Modern Warfare and Assassin's Creed.

You'd think that. Some people on the forums said too much clicking is one of the reasons they didn't like DII, it's hilarious.
