I recommend The Darkness as highly as I can if you still haven't played it. Starbreeze is top-notch. Starbreeze is from Sweden, isn't that weird? They went overboard on making everything shocking and thus memorable, or the original comic book writer did, but this is a game that made me proud to be a gamer. This game is Adults Only.

I thought the opening New York chapter was horrible until I realized that Starbreeze is in fact top-notch and Swedish (weird). I was trying to decide whether I hated Vinny Barbarino or Antonio Banderas more, while watching To Kill a Mockingbird.

Then you're in a Weird War I trench, and it's simply unforgettable. The comic book artist takes over and all the boring stuff you did suddenly has great significance, even the old ladies you had weird conversations with in the subway.

I don't know how a game can get weirder than playing Vinny Barbarino, spending the first chapter and the cut-scenes going, "Hey, up YOUR nose with a rubber hose," then you're in a World War I trench full of possessed soldiers and looking for a bullet for a gigantic cannon (unforgettable cannon) while like in Eternal Darkness, The Darkness misleads you and is insane. Not to mention the Tourette's Syndrome Darklings. This game makes you feel like you're back in high school, it's just such a weird and Swedish experience, although really this is Adults Only. I never say that, but Weird War I is too disturbing.

The Watchmen is being turned into a video game, the greatest, or one of the greatest comic books, and I wonder what your thoughts are on it being made into a video game. For those who loved comic books and graphic novels, this might be our Citizen Kane. Keep your fingers crossed. It's being developed by a Danish company, isn't that weird?

Some how I dont see this catching on for the shooter market.visceron

It would combine narcissicism and shooting yourself. A suicidal Cliffy B could do it.

Thanks for the screens.

I have never been more upset by what I did in a video game than some of the things I did in Fable. I can still hear the strawman's voice. I've never figured out how Molyneux manipulated me so well.

I await the rematch.

Self-contradiction is fatal in every sphere of argument, even to teddy bears.

The problem is when you say, quote, "THAT is the definition of hardcore and casual gamers." You're not a widely recognized source of information on anything.

Your definition of hardcore and casual is eccentric, like all of your ideas. You say overrated everytime a game is good, and the one time you said a game you like, the game had a giant wall you have to read and teddy bears. That's fine.

And the sad thing is you don't even understand you didn't make an argument. You have no premise or inference, just a circular conclusion. You assume your eccentric definition and then repeat it. The arguments have come from people showing your definition is too strict and would be absurd in the real world.

The burden didn't shift because you never gave any support for your assertion. I hate to break this to you: you're not a dictionary. Make a Dictionaries are Overrated thread.

If you think anyone is going to play a video game to write a checklist to play-fight against your checklist, that's nuts.

GTA IV is funny, brilliantly, outrageously funny. Do you know what satire is? And the immigrant experience wouldn't be the same if GTA IV and its New York were cartoony. It needs to be realistic.

GTA IV causes rioting? Are you the Milk Man from Psychonauts?

The thing Tor Thorsen wrote made me laugh so hard.

He can still work as a paralegal. The world's most fearsome paralegal.
