While I did see a bunch of shooters, I also did see a bunch of other interesting games also. Trackmania 2, Assassins Creed Revelations, Forza 4, the new Fifa  game. Etc. While I'm not knocking OP's opinion, I do also see that there is still a bunch of other games out there that don't involve shooting as a fundamental form of gameplay. It's all in what you're focusing on.

How about game mechanics getting better because of hardware which can create better controls.  Level design getting better because the hardware allows devs to create better and bigger environments with the help of graphical improvements.  That stuff affects level design, level design has to work with game mechanics, game mechanics have to work with the controls.  Those things evolve with the hardware.  If those things in the game don't match up to the standards of the year its released it will be criticized especially when it comes out full price on disk. 

While I haven't seen it, watching trailers for Rabbit Hole make me feel that movie is pretentious. Especially when the line"It's okay to laugh while watching Rabbit Hole" makes me cringe.

Not much. If I take this month into consideration, I beat three games, and then spent the remaining time either trying to work on projects, learning to cook, and finish a book. Gaming is what I do, not who I am.

Ichi is too messed up that you get numb to it. The title screen was made with semen and that's barely even shocking by the time you get to the end. Great movie "

this movie is a comedy pretty much, it isn't messed up or disturbing.  Just ridiculous. "

It is way too disturbing, felt super uneasy while watching it and even forced myself to get through some parts. Didn't enjoy it at all.  "

Since we discussed, Stardock first laid off a bunch of people and now Wardell is saying that Elemental will "end up losing money".  Again, add some tutorials and stop releasing product that's not ready for release just to make your quarter.  So they're "not doing fine in both" as you mentioned.  "
