I'm pretty sure there was a reason for Lotus to be wearing those clothes in 999. I'm also pretty sure there was a reason for Clover to be wearing sexy Flintstones in VLR. However, you're right about spoiler character in VLR, there was no reason... Made even weirder by the fact that NOBODY BRINGS IT UP in the game!

Junpei's search for Akane is the most heartbreaking thing ever.

What did you think about the huge megaton Tenmiyouji reveal? Also when did you start piecing together what was really going on? Mine was during K's and Luna's ending. Stuff started coming together in very nice ways.

Also what do you think about the theory that Alice and Clover get sent back to ancient times, creating the myth about Alice and Ice-9?

You responded to a tweet of mine, and you seemed pretty meh about the ending. After having some time to ruminate on the ending, what are your thoughts now? Does the fact that the player is the all-seeing entity dictating crucial moments help or hurt the story going in to Zero Escape 3? Does playing as a character going in to another Nonary Game for ZE3 with full knowledge of what's happening bring something interesting to the table?

Also, WTF is up with Phi? Is she related to Santa? Or is the theory that she may be alternate universe female Santa?

Fuck. Yeah.

The thing that bothers me about IGN is they review like a bought and paid for publication. Seems every game no matter how shite, gets a minimum review of a 7.5 as long as it's a game from a large developer. Every huge hyped up title gets a 9.0. What's the point of even having a scoring system?

They also overly hate the hell out of Japanese games a lot of the time for some reason.

Also what's the 1UP curse? I haven't visited their site since that massive layoff that killed my interest outside of David Ellis and Garnett Lee doing that podcast. Then Garnett left for Shacknews not too long after, then it was killed completely once Ellis left for 343 even sooner after that. Leaving a sinking ship perhaps?

@BeachThunder: I was also hoping for XCOM (PC version of course).

Silent Hill 4 was decent, but compared to the previous 3 games it just wasn't as good. Matter of fact, SH4 had one of the most laugh out loud moments I've ever had in a video game:

Maybe, there seems to be a large enough community for it. People still religiously play Brotherhood multiplayer to this day.

Hey guys!

One of my best friends recently started an Assassin's Creed Multiplayer podcast called AnimiCast with a bunch of people who are in the top 100 of the leaderboards, which he is a part of also. They're 3 episodes in, and the traffic for the podcast is increasing which is pretty crazy as my buddy has never done this kind of shit before. He's heard about Ubisoft maybe possibly doing the E-Sports thing with this version of the Multiplayer. Not only that, but they also gave them an interview with the Art Director for the multiplayer portion of the game, which includes the level design and the character designs.

I'd paste the interview here, but I think he deserves all the traffic he can get. He's really put a lot of work in to creating a community for the multiplayer side of Assassin's Creed, and I'd like to help him maintain and grow the community as well.

Thanks!

I didn't rage at Mass Effect 3, or its ending. I was simply content by the events that transpired throughout that game. However, what the fuck were they thinking using Jessica Chobot as a voice actor in a game with actual VA talent? Her delivery was flat and awkward, I could almost hear the director facepalming through the microphone. Luckily she never had to be encountered again. Otherwise ME3 was a decent game, I don't like Jessica Chobot though D:
