Dunno if this counts, but GTAIV looks beautiful when it starts raining, especially at night.

There's only one way to counteract the newly created emptiness that now resides in our hearts. Someone here has to have two kids and name them Gerstmann and Davis.

Who's going to man up and take one for the team?

Guys. You guys. Whoa. It turns out that I'm the 100,000,000th visitor to this site from [MY AREA]. It is absolutely uncanny that I manage this on almost every site.

As soon as I give them my Social Security number, I'll be glad to split my winnings with you all. I should have a cool billion coming my way by now.

Send it out like most of FOX's other moneymakers/potential moneymakers... raise the quality sky-high right before cancelling it, preferably timed so that it leaves on a never-to-be-resolved cliffhanger.

... Not that I'm referencing any show in particular... I'm not at all still bitter about Sarah Connor Chronicles...

@ShaggE Why's it a tall order?

Because providing witty commentary, editing, uploading, etc. etc. for entire game after entire game in rapid succession is a LOT of work.

This should be a series of Endurance Runs from here on out. There have been a couple of games so far where I've thought "Oh man, if they'd just keep playing a while longer, we'd get to see their reaction to [awesome scene]..."

(I know this is a ridiculously tall order, and I hardly expect it to be heeded. The fact that they did it with even one game was amazing.)

I'm going to fly to every place on Earth EXCEPT the UK, and read this article at every stop. TAKE IT, JEFF! TAKE IIIITTT!

Only weird if you make up lyrics for the instrumental pieces, then start singing it loudly while punching out anybody who doesn't sing along, while screaming "WHY DO YOU HATE MUSIC!?".

Seems people object to that.

And another swing and a miss. The so-called 'journalist' makes a sustainable amount of so-called 'money' from his gigs. Also, I already explained to you that the shitting was on a particular subset of these degrees, but you seem to be physically unable to wrap your head around such a concept, so never mind that.

The so called journalist is a freelance games reviewer.

The freelance games reviewer is taking classes in journalism, and has done smalltime journalistic work. But either way, the point was in you claiming that I wasn't gainfully employed. Funny how I keep having to explain the point to you.

So don't call yourself a journalist and don't talk like someone with industry experience. You have no industry experience to talk about which schools are decent or not and the statement you made which I replied, a statement you continue to make in error, is that somehow Game Design degrees are all Liberal Arts degrees (they're not) and that Liberal Arts degrees are somehow useless by definition (they're not). It's not funny how I keep having to repeat that idea because you keep sidestepping it, it's just sad.

Never called myself one. I said I write AS one. As in, occasionally write originally researched articles intended to convey information on current events, and receiving compensation in return. But I don't identify as a journalist any more than I identify as a novelist because of the fiction I've written. You really should try a new tact that doesn't involve twisting words. As for "talking like someone with industry experience": For... what, now... the fifth time? I don't. At all. Your obsession with this is a little bizarre, to be honest. Do you suffer hallucinations, perchance? One doesn't need "industry experience" to see what schools are reputable. You do know that any Joe Blow can find this out on their own, yeah? I don't need to interview David Jaffe to know that School X has a long and storied history of scamming students.

"that somehow Game Design degrees are all Liberal Arts degrees" Never said that, either. It's called a comparison. If I say "Filet mignons are the fine wines of beef products", I'm not saying that filet mignons are made of grapes.

" and that Liberal Arts degrees are somehow useless by definition" Never did that pass my lips/fingers. Liberal Arts degrees are quite often never followed up on, which makes them useless in those circumstances. "Some" vs. "all". It'd behoove you to learn the difference.

"It's not funny how I keep having to repeat that idea because you keep sidestepping it, it's just sad." This "idea" of yours involves making shit up out of thin air, for one. For another, I've addressed you directly each time. You're the one picking one or two words out of each post and pretending that I said something else. Sad indeed.
