    you don't know anything about dragons, do you?

    they're the sticky horse-things that drag you underwater, right

    N-no? i think that might be a Ichthyocentaur, or a fever dream. maybe a siren.

    No, dragons at the big dinosaur like things that fly, shoot fire, hoard valuables, secrets, and stuff.

    Did the person dragged underwater totally have it coming?

    I watched Giant Bomb's Endurance Run like 1 and a half times, and my copy arrived today

    Even without playing it, Persona 4 along with 3 share a slot on my Favorite Games Ever list

    Has a Blizzard game ever included a component that required a player to judge a projectile trajectory? Ever?

    Some vehicle based quest component in WoW, perhaps? All I can think of

    Yeah but that usually has a graphic which shows you the arc and range of the projectile, unlike Angry Birds where you basically had to guess and hope physics worked out in your favour.

    the best way to read is to buy like 20, read them all in two weeks, and then not read again for 9 months

    The developers really want to make it but don't own the rights, so they're making something else instead.

    Yeah GSC Game World had to close their doors. The old employees formed a new studio and are making a MMO shooter, which supposedly is going to be similar to the Stalker games.

    I thought the sequel was announced by GSC. Were they not the rights holders?

    When did GSC close?

    Around december last year, the stalker devs continued work on the game while attempting to get the rights to stalker but when they couldn't do that they started a new thing.

    Yeah, I'm really hoping the MMO thing they're working on fills that little hole in my heart where Stalker 2 was going to go.

    I'm like 25 hours into Persona 3 Portable (which is way longer than I play most non-multiplayer games, ever) and I am really enjoying it. A little bummed out at the concessions they had to make to fit it onto the original PSP, but glad for the mechanical improvements I understand it has over the original.

    I am really, really looking forward to Persona 4 on the vita. I have it on my ps2 but I never got past the first boss, and will just wait for the portable because I prefer handheld RPG anyway.

    Also I did watch like 114 episodes of the Endurance run and wish I could just forget the story, but it will still probably be great

    They actually did a P4 anime series recently.

    I'll be honest, it was actually pretty decent.

    Just FYI, it took me 117 hours to finish it. You've got a long ways to go.

    it ain't cause he's black

    it's because he has no character development or inner turmoil whatsoever

    even when he leaves his dad to die he's never like "man that sure was a hard thing I did, I wonder if I made the right choice"

    he's like NOPE FUCK THAT GUY SPILL DRINKS ERRYDAY

    and then in ME3 he
    goes home and bes a family man.
