Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Look dude not everyone who plays Guitar Hero has the desire to ever play guitar.
I am sold already.
Snake eater did this already. And I didn't have to do stupid movements for it. I'm almost positive the 3DS version doesn't require it either.
Seems a bit unessecary. The concept of real time health mending itself is cool though .
Also, the Second Panel is priceless.

Look at his his eyeballs! hahahaah
I think this is less a comment on the game's specific implementation and more about generally goofy control mechanics.
I've heard examples of swiping on the touch screen to cut down plants in your way with a machete, to piece together a torn up map, to melee brawl with dudes and to swing on vines, but I haven't heard anything about using it for healing.

In Uncharted 1, I hated the parts where you had to use the sixaxis to help Drake balance on a log. I was so glad when I played Uncharted 2 and I didn't have to use the sixaxis even once.

I thought I just hadn't washed the blueberries enough. Maybe they're actually spider berries.
I've made that face. On an airline toilet, less than five minutes before landing with stewardesses banging on the door telling me to return to my seat.
Plane landed with me in there. And after I got out a policeman and a paramedic were waiting for me.
Worst poop ever.

Oh, I know - hard to puke out of a ruined butthole. But someone brought up Snake Eater, which did indeed have a vomit mechanic. And it squicked me then, too.
Then I went to watch some PATV. First ad? Disneyland.
Oh dear.
...huh?
I think he is saying that the people you see (or, more likely, the people who stand out) at Disneyland are not the greatest representation of the potential for selflessness and immaterialism in human society.
Or maybe referencing the fact that Disneyland is set up to tempt any kid into misbehaving.
It's loud, crowded and there are over priced souvenir stands and carts every 5 feet, each laden with brightly colored easily recognizable crap that sinks it's hooks into a child's brain like a fisherman.
Given that setting, it's very easy for a kid of any age to get distracted and lured from his parents to go gawk at (and eventually beg/whine/cry for) said over priced mass produced crap.
It's hardly representative of the failure in parenting that Gabe seems to think it is. I mean Disney pays people a crap ton of money to figure out how to turn your well behaved child into a raving, grasping, screaming monster begging for just one more souvenir.
The fact that it's happening to everyone else's kids too should be indicative of something, even if it's only that Disney got it's moneys worth from the imagineers who designed this cash vacuum in the first place.
That Tycho thinks it is.
For example, go to Wall-Mart before hand and pick up some disney stuff for cheap. There was a ton of discounted stuff at the one not 5 miles from Disney property when we went. Each morning before going into the park, give your kid one of those cheaply purchased items. Much less whiny, and doesn't stress out your wallet nearly as much.
Looking into that man's face made me understand the true meaning of despair. Paid all that money to fly his entire family out to Disney World and all he could do was sit with his head in his hands, as his child consumed a mickey-shaped waffle and asked when they'd be going to the park
Cyanide hugs were in order
Don't worry though Steph, rainy days like that are very rare in Florida. You'll most likely get good weather, at least!
look not everyone has $500 for a set of mickey-brand rain ponchos okay
my unofficial autobio will be accompanied with tips on how to smile
cause I've found that when they don't see you frown, they never know that you're a threat
and they don't sweat you when you came around

Well sure, but there are other means of procuring rain gear (e.g. pack some). Otherwise, you spent all that money to get your family there just to sit in the lobby...
Alternatively, learn to predict the weather 6 months in advance so you can go when you know it's nice out.
But about the comic! I too am rather tired of developers implementing silly control schemes in videogames just because they can. I can't really think of a game that's done it in a way that offers an improvement over a normal joystick. Also thumbs up for the evocative use of "roiling"
