Puppet episode announced at Paleyfest: Just me or does the Jeff puppet look more like Chris Hansen?

Three million, and the only time that number was given was by Rhode Island's governor, so who knows how accurate it really was?

The pre-purchase isup on Steamnow with increasing rewards based on how many people buy. I'm surprised they don't mention anywhere on the page that the game won't have a monthly fee. Still, the $60 pricetag with a season pass seems... optimistic for an MMO considering recent history.

Supposedly Amalur 2 was in development when 38 Studios shut down, so I could see EA having a little interest. Though, they also have Dragon Age 3 in development, so do they really need two fantasy RPG franchises?

Joke that annoyed me the most (and I'm too lazy to look up the actual phrasing): Malcolm McDowell: My name is Professor Cornwallis, and yes, I know what you're all thinking: I am the direct descendent of General Charles Cornwallis, the man who surrendered and ended the Revolutionary War...

I think one of the things that turned me off the last time I played is that they really haven't seemed to figure out what sort of game they want it to be. When beta first started out, there was a complete focus on the PvP/esports side of the game, but more recently they've been focusing on...

The Living Story is only in its first (second?) phase, so it's hard to see how much content it will result in when it's complete, especially since their goal seems to be to slowly roll things out over the next few months and not just through content updates. I also don't think it was the Living...

I've heard this several times, and it just strikes me odd. I understand Sega wanted a return on their investment after more than half a decade, but you'd think they would've had someone take a look of the game before it released and realized that it was a mess that was only going to hurt the...

Bottle episodes tend to take place in one set with as few characters as possible like the episode where they're trapped in the KFC space simulator or the one where theytry to figure out who took Annie's pen. This is not what I'm referring to.

I think the reason the show still feels off to me is that we have yet to have an episode that really takes place in Greendale. The first episode was the closest, but that largely took place in Abed's head in the form of a sitcom, then the second episode was in Pierce's manor, and the third was...

It's unlikely that a pope would choose the name Peter, because it's become tradition that only St. Peter should have that honor. The name "Peter" is derived from the Greek word "petra", which means rock. Jesus gave St. Peter that name when he said "And I say also unto thee, That thou art...

Ah, yeah, I understand, and I do think they can still accomplish more of what you are speaking about with a silent protagonist. To some degree, I think DA:O went a little ways towards bridging the gap due to them still including some very cinematic elements on top of them providing a bit of a...

I think the part where backwards compatibility comes in handy is if you didn't own the PS3. It makes the PS4 a little more appealing, because you're no longer relying on just whatever launch titles they have or the small library afterwards, but having 7 years worth of games to play right out...

To be honest, I'm anticipating a lower pricepoint as well. Part of the reason the PS3 was priced so high was that they were trying to corner the market on the next physical media and pushing the blu-ray when it was new and costly. Obviously, that's no longer a concern since they won that...

I'm guessing whatever Microsoft has coming out will rival the PS4 in most areas, but this should be one area where Sony will be able to edge them out since Microsoft has no handheld (unless they work in the Surface somehow). Being able to switch from a TV to the handheld is definitely a nice...

I wouldn't be surprised if your first sentence is the reason for the second: Microsoft got some exclusive deal with Twitch, so Sony had to go with uStream.

Haha, watching the Giant Bomb stream of them watching and commenting on the PS4 announcement. They get all excited when Chris Metzen comes out, and then it's like they should've played the "wah wah wah" sound effect when the trailer was just Diablo 3.

I'm not entirely familiar with Twitter, so perhaps there's something I'm missing, but it seems to me he's drawing a lot more attention to the criticism he's getting by acknowledging it and threatening to ignore people rather than actually just ignoring them. Perhaps he's operating under the...

They also lost their biggest investor and, as far as we know, haven't locked down another, hence Jim having to spend so much time at work. There's really been little indication one way or the other how the company is doing at this point. Obviously, as a start-up, it's on pretty shaky ground...

Well, yes, and your last sentence is how I'd respond to the first. DLC is not an expansion, and I was discussing DLC. Personally, when it comes to RPGs, I wish developers would primarily focus on adding content through expansions. To be honest, I think that's more a flaw with how Bethesda...

Mass Effect 3 did this to some extent. It didn't exactly go into much depth of what happens with your crew, but you get a good indication for at least a few of them. Well, more like DLC, but it is one of the biggest flaws with DLC for RPGs. They either can no longer create a complete story...

Given that this show is basically a modern take on The Breakfast Club, I think Troy was originally intended more to fit the "dumb jock" role. Harmon has talked about how one of the show's themes was that it was a group of very different people thrown together and the relationships that develop...

It's two very different ways of telling a story. In a game like Mass Effect, it's much more blatant. It's akin to how a movie tells a story. There's an obvious protagonist with his objective, but you're getting to choose how his story plays out. The Elder Scrolls/Fallout 3 is more like a...

Yeah, why can't we have sort of a hybrid of both a Shepard type the style of character from DA1? DA2's flaw wasn't necessarily that they included Hawke, but that they included him in such a limited fashion in a franchise that was meant to be a spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate. If they...

I think, to some degree, it has to happen. One of the big themes of the show right along has been that the office is sort of an oddball family, together by circumstance. Having Jim just be able to transition to a new life so easily would undermine that. After all, it took Michael finding the...

I do tend to wonder if that day is ending. To begin with, I think the biggest reason most of these mediocre MMOs made a profit was because they were based off a big franchise that had a built-in fanbase. I mean, let's face it, people were going to check out a Star Trek or DC MMO regardless of...

The way it reads, they make it sound like Gearbox just outsourced the project and then were astounded when they received the work a couple years later. I find it hard to believe that they didn't have anyone checking up on the project from time to time. It's not like it was locked away in some...

AndSega is denying this. Basically just sounds like everyone wants to disavow having anything to do with the debacle.

She was on Boston Rob's third season and one of the only ones that wasn't falling all over themselves to worship at his feet. Boston Rob realized she was a threat to his cult, so she was targeted, and the only people she had a chance of forming an alliance with were Special Agent Phillip...

Corinne was from Gabon (the season Bob won). She palled around with Randy and I felt one of the most reprehensible people they ever had on the show (though NaOnka, Alicia, Colton and now Abi have made me reevaluate that opinion). They originally tried to get her back as a villain for the...

I don't know. I recall there being a lot of discussion when she was voted out to the point where Jeff even asked her about her unexpected popularity at the reunion. Though, a lot of that, I think, was due it being shocking that they had a young, black female that wasn't the stereotypical bad...

Oh, it's not all bad. EGM apparentlyloved it...

They've piqued my interest, and I'll try to remain cautiously optimistic because they seem to be saying all the right things, but at the same time, all of the features they are talking about the game having makes me leery that the game will lack focus and ultimately be mediocre as it'll be yet...

And there will likely be no new news on this until the end of the month when the College of Cardinals is assembled to elect a new pope anyways.

There was a lot of speculation when he was chosen that he was essentially to put the brakes on some of the things John Paul II put in motion, giving the Church time to assess the direction it was moving, but without being around long enough to start influencing that direction himself. After...

Considering the recent success of historical-fiction television series (Downton Abbey, Copper, etc.), this seems like a smart move for the History Channel, particularly if they can keep it historically accurate and maybe team it up with some actual history shows about vikings.

For there to be critique, I'd say there either has to be parody or exaggerated enough to read their intent. This was more of an emulation. However, given Abed's personality, itdoesmake sense. He's someone who has a long history of seeing things through the lens of a sitcom, so it would follow...

I'm undecided if the problem with the sitcom in Abed's head was that they went too over the top or they didn't go over the top enough. It felt like they wanted to do a parody of Community as a sitcom, but it mostly just felt like the parody elements were left out, or it went on too long. It...

I could see a Boba Fett movie being interesting because, as far as the movies go, there's relatively little known about him. The fact that he spends most of his time on-screen behind a mask and doesn't have a recognizable face also means casting wouldn't be much of a hindrance. Bounty hunters...

It's still a relatively untested thing. Kickstarter's TOS only requires that people either give out their fund rewards or refund anyone that can't give the reward to, since at least one reward level almost always includes the finished product, these generally go hand-in-hand. Kickstarter does...
