This is both the best and worst news. Love me some Rorie, but I can't imagine a Giant Bomb without the Snide man. But I gotta respect you here Dave, even if I never got to talk to you over Skype. I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for you to make. Wherever you go, make sure to keep everyone up to date on Twitter- I'll follow you like I followed Rorie.
Gonna be rocking that hardcore Duder shirt tomorrow, and I'll pour one out for the coolest/most engaging designer out there. The amount of love Dave, in particular, gave to the community was outstanding.
Heavenly sword was great, it's a shame it got buried with the PS3 launch. I remember the story, particularly the ending, as pretty respectable and good.
Ninja Theory always seems to make really good- not always fantastic, but solid- and unique games that no one notices (besides DMC, which I have yet to play).
The book is amazing, and from what I heard, I don't think I'd like the movie too much.
That book just seems impossible to translate to film. Not only the twist, but there's a large section of the book where Pi goes blind and the story relies 100% on narration (though most of the book is already amazing narration). Apparently they cut that out of the movie, so I don't think I could go into it with an open mind.
Then again, I did see the American Idiot musical last night, and I freakin' loved it despite the fact that it was a different interpretation of the album that I had. But a concept album is much more open in terms of narrative than a book, so I don't know. I'll see it for free whenever I can.
