I have a friend who works in QA and she was able to learn the plot of a new Arkham Knight quest that they are planning to release through DLC. This is what she sent me:

Alfred is very sick, so he tells Batman how to make his own sandwich. Here is the opening quest dialog:

Batman - ok, so I need to make my own sandwich. How hard can it be?

Alfred - well, sir, to begin with we are out of mayo. So you will need to take the batmobile to the grocery store.

Batman - the grocery store is just 1 block away. Why would I need to take the batmobile?

Alfred - I have scanned the area and see that there are 497 unmanned drones in between us and the grocery store. You need to get in the batmobile, convert it to a tank, and spend the next hour circle strafing around and shooting rockets at the unmanned drones as they slowly materialize into view.

Batman - are you serious?? I don’t normally use rockets. Can the batmobile even carry that many rockets?

Alfred - apparently so sir.

Batman - fine. I’ll take out the unmanned drones and get the mayo.

Alfred - a bunch of soldiers are also after the mayo. If they happen to get it first, then you will need to spend the next hour chasing after them in the batmobile.

Batman - what happens if they leave the city with the mayo?

Alfred - don’t worry sir, they will just ride around in circles until you eventually carefully disable their vehicle using rockets.

Batman - ok, so after I catch them then I come back with the mayo and make the sandwich.

Alfred - when you get back here make sure you use the batmobile to blow a hole in the wall.

Batman - why in the world would I do that?

Alfred - a proper sandwich requires toasted bread and the Riddler has shut off our electricity. You will need to blow a hole in the wall, use a wench to drive the batmobile up the side of the building, turn it into a tank to carefully strafe it around the floorplan, redeploy the wench and use the batmobile engine to power up the toaster.

Batman - is all of this really necessary just to make a sandwich?

Alfred - apparently so sir.

Gamespot needs to make money to stay in business, and advertisers don't like paying for a site that ranks their games badly. I understand how that works.

So here is a simple solution for you guys: when you post a score, also tell us if you are taking ad money for that particular game. Maybe you can even tell us if it is a "large" ad that takes up half the site (worth ~2.0 inflation) or a "small" banner ad (worth ~1.0 inflation). We can do the math ourselves to get the accurate scores while the game publishers still see the inflated scores that they paid for. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

I've been coming to Gamespot for many years now, and have trusted their reviews a great deal in the past. But I remember being a bit shocked the first time I came to Gamespot and saw some game's graphics plastered all along the sidebars and top of the page. It looked like more than just an "ad" at that point. The ad took up almost as much space as the website content. It looked like Gamespot had become a fansite for that particular game. I remember thinking, how can they possibly provide a non-biased review for that game? And that continued from game to another game to another. Each one, I wondered how they could possibly provide a negative review for a game that was plastered all over the front page of their website. Now I guess we know the answer to that question.

There is a good reason why Consumer Reports doesn't take ads. A review site needs to maintain a non-biased appearance, or else it becomes a fansite instead of a review site.

PC Game storage used to be easy: virtually every game came in a jewel case with the label clearly listed on the side. I had a Laserline rack that I would simply slip the jewel case into. With the game name clearly listed on the jewel case side, it was very easy to find a game (even in my semi-large collection). When games started coming with more than 1 cd, they mostly still tried to use single size jewel cases that supported multiple cds.

Lately, I see more and more games coming in different means. Some come in double-sized jewel cases. Some come in DVD cases. Some come in these new "PC DVD" cases. Some come in just standard paper sleeves.

Anyone know of a good solution to PC game storage? I dislike having to make my own jewel case inserts just so I can easily find a game. And I don't trust putting all my games in a soft CD case. Are there any good hard cases that make it easy to find stuff?

I am trying to decide between getting an XBox 360 Premium or trying to hunt down an XBox 360 Elite somewhere. I don't care too much about the HDMI, and I don't care at all about the color. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not the 120GB hard drive is worth the effort.

I will be downloading some files for backwards capability with my old XBox games. I plan to download some live arcade games and perhaps some demos. I don't really see myself downloading many videos/movies (if any). Am I likely to need more than 20GB? I have no idea how large the files are. Anyone have any advice on whether or not the extra space would just go to waste?
