Joyswag: 1 year of Xbox Live Gold & a pile of XBLA games [update]

I would probably wanna buy Shadow Complex and Trials HD. The South Park TD game looks fun too. And the FF games on PSN

The Guild comic available for pre-order

My opinion on the Guild naysayers is, if you don't like it, don't watch it.

Now with that out of the way, I personally love The Guild. The writing is pretty sharp (the acting isn't the BEST, but probably better than most web series I've watched). I think the reason it is as popular as it is owes to the fact that the fans can connect with the characters in someway, whether on a deeply personal level or seeing the people they play with. I see bits of myself in every character and thats what keeps me watching the show every week (or at least when it is running).

Now, as for Felicia Day, I have tremendous respect for her. I mean, look at the number of web series out there and try to count how many of their actors/writers have had ANY mainstream appeal. Now I'm not saying that we will see a full Guild TV series anytime soon, but I think it speaks volumes of the series success that she appeared on the Jimmy Fallon show. It also seems to me that this was a deeply personal project for her seeing as that she wrote the role of Codex for herself.

The other reason that she is as popular as she is the simple fact that she is very approachable. She has a good knowledge of geek culture and is very thankful for all of her fans. I had the pleasure of meeting her at Comic-Con and I can tell you from personal experiences that she is hands down one of the nicest people I have met.

Back to the topic though, I am looking forward to The Guild comic. I pre-ordered mine not too long ago and I made sure to request that my local comic shop pick it up.

Keep up the good work!

Dead or Alive Paradise coming to PSP, sans fighting (and volleyball)

Now that Itagaki is gone, all bets are off on there not being a DoA Hentai game. After all, he is the one that said "the DoA girls are like his children, he will never allow them to be seen nude". Even though it won't get released here, a DoA Hentai game would probably do quite well in japan

Modern Warfare 2's writer claims "the airport level was a risk we had to take"

Wow, that is a flamebait comment if I ever read one. In my opinion, the Call of Duty games developed by Infinity Ward have been consistently good. Now, the same cannot be said about the ones developed by Treyarch, but even these games are better than most FPS games that are put on consoles.

And I personally believe the airport scene did a lot to help the story. Playing through it, I felt bad for what I was doing, but it did a lot to put me in the shoes of the character. Yeah, if you take it out of context, it seems like a senseless display of violence, but leading up to it, a character (nameless for spoilers) tells you that you will have to do some things that may go against your moral compass, this massacre being one of them. Not that I want to see this become a trend in games, but I believe they took a risk in putting this in the game and it paid off in the end.

I know this is a response to an old post, but it is not know that sargeras actually died. It has been said that his corporeal form might have been destroyed but his spirit still lives on. And who knows, he may have the power to reform over time. He IS a Titan after all, be it a dark one. Unless Metzen says "Yes, (insert character) is dead", it is almost a sure bet that they will come back
