I'll go against the grain and say I've always viewed Skylar as a "strong woman." It's just that that isn't a characteristic that is devoid of flaws or above criticism. Skyler is strong in that she stands up to Walt and protects her family, but the way in which she accomplishes these things are...

There have been a lot of villains and unlikeable players on the show that have added a lot of entertainment value: Russell is the most obvious - undoubtedly slimy, but also knew how to use that to his advantage. Johnny Fairplay? He never really took the game terribly seriously, so what he...

Eh, I wasn't really expecting great things from this anyways.

And, aside from changing the first 15 minutes of the episode, it really hasn't done much else. In every case, the person who returns from Redemption Island is almost immediately voted back out. In the first season, each person who came back from Redemption Island (Matt and Andrea) were voted...

And if Coltonwasn't bad enough: Couldn't that have stayed dead? I'd much rather have reward challenges than have to spend the first 15 minutes on this. Though, they did add a couple interesting twists: I suppose that could create some strategic elements thatmightmake the Redemption Island...

For coming up with cool things for being disarmed (and having to retrieve your weapon) and rolling out of knockdown, I do think they could've come up with something a little better than "mash your keyboard!" to break out of a stun. And while their boss CC system looks to be similar...

At this point, why would Walt? This isn't like before with Gus. So far, Walt's family isn't in danger. He doesn't have to worry that Hank is going to go after them like Gus was. It's just between Walt and Hank, and whether or not Hank takes him down, Walt believes he'll be dead from the...

Yeah, my first reaction was to groan and complain that I wasn't interested in watching yet another tribe of former players destroy a team of new players, but this does offer a different type of dynamic that could be interesting. It's not just a matter of voting someone off because they're...

Cast revealed: Galang: Tyson Apostol (Tocantins, Heroes vs. Villains) Aras Baskauskas (Panama) Rupert Boneham (Pearl Islands, All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains) Candice Cody (Cook Islands, Heroes vs. Villains) Monica Culpepper (One World) Colton Crumbie (One World) Kat Edorsson (One...

Yeah, I'm happy they're being smart about this. It's hard enough for indie multiplayer games to get and keep an audience, even more so when it's not F2P. Dividing up that playerbase into smaller and smaller groups like some games I've seen is one of the quickest ways to kill the community.

I think they go hand-in-hand.

I think Skyler's progression to this point makes sense. She's always been one of those "keep up appearances" type of people that values the normality of a suburban life. Walt obviously threw a wrench into that equation, and reacting confrontationally when he was lying and angrily when she...

They just announced a Kickstarter for their first expansion:Awesomenauts Starstorm. It includes: Spectator Mode 3 New characters (Brawler, Tank, and Assassin) Twin-stick Controller Support Global Chat New Music They also have stretch goals for additional characters, music, levels, and...

The cutscenes really aren't that awkward to skip. You just hit start/esc+confirm. I suppose the argument could be made that they should've just made it so you could hit a button to skip them, but hitting two buttons instead of one isn't a huge hurdle, especially since you can hit one instantly...

Sheesh, Marie's kleptomania really knows no bounds. I mean, jewelry and knickknacks are one thing, but a baby? It's really hard to know what Jesse will do at this point. It's obvious he feels incredibly guilty with what he's involved in and wants nothing more to do with it, but does he go so...

No,she didn't: At the bottom of the article, Polygon states that they added Hepler's full quote, so I'm guessing prior to that, it was vague enough to allow people to reach this conclusion, but Hepler has corrected it in a couple places and says she has no intention of leaving the game industry.

Personally speaking, I think it'd be smart for them not to have every piece of the EverQuest lore in place when EQN launches. One of the problems the original game had is they didn't know how successful the game was going to be nor how long it'd stick around, so everything was just made up on...

You mean like GFWL or the Win8 Games Store? Microsoft is just repeating their pattern of waking up and realizing people play PC games, wanting to get a piece of that pie, and then losing interest when they don't immediately corner the market. The pendulum is now swinging back to the point...

No. If you put a code into Steam, your only option is to have it added to your library.

Looks like people who didn't like her acting havegotten their wish: It's unfortunate that they'll have to rush through her story faster than they planned, but there are enough intriguing characters on the show where I don't think she'll leave much of a hole. I just wonder how they're going to...

I'm not sure how I feel about the guy they got to voice Kieth David. Maybe he'll do okay, but it's obvious they had to settle. It's unfortunate they have Troy Baker and Nolan North voicing playable characters, because they likely could've added a lot more authenticity to the role. I guess...

I think I'll wait and see if they add Dead Space 2 to the bundle. The only game I'm really interested in at the moment is Mirror's Edge, but that goes on sale on Steam for $5 frequently enough, but I've heard good things about Dead Space. Having the complete trilogy on there would give me...

At the beginning of the season, when Walt is at the Denny's, he's shown taking his medication in the bathroom. In last night's episode, he's dressed similarly (presumably, he headed to the house after breakfast) and his collar looks to be caked in vomit. That seems to indicate he's still...

While I don't think it was Hank's intention, the thing he has working for him at this point is that Walt has always shown he's extremely reactive. His next actions are almost guaranteed to be irresponsible, sloppy, and chaotic, which is why it might lead to him taking an unnecessary precaution...

Yeah, this was definitely intended to be a game with long-term ambitions in the same vein of The Sims. They may be able to brag about this being the best-selling Sim City game, but that was obviously a secondary goal to being able to continue to milk it for years to come through $30-40...

Well, look at the bright side, now you have something to hold over her head for the rest of her life.

A couple people on Reddit added up the actual cost of all those items, and found buying them all separately would cost, at most, about $675,000. So, Deep Silver will get a nice chunk of change there if someone does buy it. However, my guess is anyone that has enough money to throw $1 million...

I think Rubicon's main problem was that it started too slow, which just caused it to shed viewers before things started to pick up and get interesting.

Its ratings were about the same as season two, but remember, they cancelled The Killing for those ratings once already. I guess they had hoped that bringing the show back with a completely new story would draw in more of an audience, but I don't think many people were willing to give it a...

The story reason would be that he's just an incompetent cop who does the bare minimum (except for in the final episode where he suddenly goes under a transformation and does everything he can for Holder despite being screwed with by him twice). The writing reason comes down to Veena Sud's two...

The episode really felt to me like even the writers didn't know who the killer was until the very last episode and just decided on Skinner at the last minute. There really wasn't much pointing to him. It's like they wanted it to be such a surprise and so hard to figure out that they left out...

The problem I have with Larry is that he's supposed to represent the part of Piper's life that she's missing out on. He serves as a reminder that life is still going on outside of prison without her and that her actions have affected other people. However, he's not a terribly sympathetic...

Yeah, the Humble Bundles usually will have something added to them for the "beat the average" part. I don't think the Humble Weekly Sales have though.

Just what this show needed, another annoying child... At least they aged her, because that baby at the beginning of the season was beyond creepy. It still annoys me that they are all, "Oh, it wasn't really you!" when it comes to Hal and Lourdes being possessed by the Espheni, but with Karen...

Which I'm sure is what SOE would be hoping for. These F2P games are primarily funded by "whales" who often spend hundreds of dollars in the e-store.

I'd be more surprised if they didn't do something like that. The 40 class system sounds perfect for using microtransactions in one of the ways players tend to find acceptable: convenience. They already said there are 8 starter classes to choose from, but the one you pick doesn't preclude you...

Passive abilities would make sense and allow for the classes to be more diverse than just skill restrictions. I think the most interesting thing will be how far they take EQ:Next:Landmarks and the content that they allow added to the main game. Right now, it mainly just sounds like it's going...

That's sort of the vibe I'm getting. These aren't necessarily classes as we know them. Since you can use any ability, they need to limit how they work together to ensure people don't just find one optimum build and stick to that. Classes sound like they are basically just a set of...

The problem with how developers address the Holy Trinity issue is that they focus on the classes peopledoplay rather than the characters peopledon'tplay. Instead of looking at the roles that people want in their groups and spreading all those abilities around in some kumbaya attempt to make...
