A finer piece of muckraking and comics has never been produced. Should Dan or Demian be worried? YOU be the judge!

"That would be a pretty incredible cutscene. Max bursts through the door and as he starts diving in slow motion you see every henchman make the "OH SHIT!" face before blowing their own brains out in fear of this lunatic."

"Lydia LOVED Botanicula. She was playing in the other room and I would hear a squeal or a shout every ten minutes or so. She came out one time to reenact one of the characters being chewed on.
I gave her the soundtrack and she was very very happy about that."

"My understanding of Steam's Offline Mode is that it's a little wonky. I remember Alex writing about not being able to access Offline Mode until you're already logged in online first. Which is a little stupid."

"I believe "camping" has gotten overused. It used to be that if you were staking out the spawn of power weapons and power-ups, that was camping. Nobody could get the good shit without getting bushwacked by some asshole. But even then, that was largely the fault of developers, right? They didn't plan for people to find strategic bottlenecks and hold those positions.
Now we say someone is camping if they hold down one section of a map or if they lay down in one spot and never move. If the game is well balanced they should be easy to retalitate against. This is not camping."

"My fiance really loves the Fable franchise but this was a little of a departure for her. After 5 hours with it over the weekend, she loves it. She feels great knowing that she can enjoy herself with the game even though she's not "the best at video games". Thanks for writing this. She completely agreed and loved your article."

""If tomorrow, everyone on Earth miraculously agreed that videogames were among the admirable essence of baroque paintings and classical music, we'd still be blowing the living fuck out of zombies and gawking at titty physics."
Love this."

"If I saw more of the fans, it could have been done. As I saw them, they looked like the beginning of fancy chopsticks. Why must she clutch them so tightly?
Chests. Let's do this."
