That one game better be Pokemon and you better give me your friend code.

Ironbite-also get Fire Emblem as soon as you can.  Great game.

I haven't even finished Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance on the 'cube.  Find it hard to get into tactical RPGs for some reason.

Right now I have Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

My friend code is:
0361-7364-2458

I don't have X or Y, though.  Not that much into actually participating in the new gen of Pokemon.

I'll wait until Pokemon Z is out.

So do X and Y have something similar to the Battle Frontier or PWT?  Those were my favorite parts of previous games.

I bought Artemis 2.0 bridge license, which allows for up to six players to use it. It's a DRM free installer but it relies on faith system for player not to spread it. (I've already played the game once but we were using another groups license and now bought one for our crew as well.)

The Wolf Among Us looks super awesome. You're in a city where characters from loads of different fables live, from Snow White to Ichabod Crane to Beauty and the Beast. It's incredibly dark and gritty.

It's apparently a prequel to the Fables comics, so I'm EXTRA intrigued, since I have a friend that's huge into the series.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

I have not bought Rome 2 TW and do not plan on until it is being sold in one of Steam's sales. CA, Sega and almost every profession game reviewer out there deserve to hang. The only honest review I have seen is on the Angry Joe Show*.

*Though IMO he is too lenient on Shogun 2.

So do I, and I like the comic as well though I have only read first two parts of it.

I wouldn't go that far just tbh this is why we need reviewers who are given some long large games a week in advance.  Rome the reviewer didn't have much time for a game that big so probably didn't encounter the bugs

...The reviewers are given the games in advance. A week or more.

Many games I would review I got in advance and I was basically bound by an NDA until the game was no longer under embargo (which basically means we couldn't talk about it until the publisher said we could).

Hell, some companies made me make my gaming activity invisible while I was playing the game to review.

That would be impossible if you wanted reviews on a timely basis. You'd either need to give the reviewer the game before it goes gold (which means more bugs) or let them delay their review until a week or more past the release. A week of playing the game would get you all of the major problems, but you need more than that to actually get everything.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

Ibs, you realise that the guy hasn't even mentioned My Little Pony in likely over a year, right? You were beating a dead horse a long time ago, now you're just beating a slightly smelly patch of ground. Just let it go, that fandom doesn't need defending from the Great and Terrible IanC.
Thank you. Ive decided just to live and let live, tbh.

Anyway, i noticed yesterday that I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream is out on Steam and GOG.com. I've heard lots of things about it (and the original story is based on, which I really must read one day..). So I bought it, though I haven't actually played it yet. Actually I have way too big a back log...
