    My son, Grayson always laughs when I play that part. I guess it sounds close enough.

    I enjoyed my time playing Alpha Protocol but I'm not sure I can explain why. It was like a really bad movie. So bad it managed to be fun.

    alpha protocol is the kid that everyone smiles at in the school hallway but privately wonders how they manage to stay alive

    I tried playing it, but it was so choppy. I can run Crysis on this at full settings, yet that was choppy.

    I guess I was spared.

    Alpha Protocol is worse because there are people so desperately infatuated with Chris Avellone that they will pretend that it was a good game, even an excellent one. It didn't even have good Writing.

    I hear the Adirondacks are nice this time of year.

    It's one my all time list, but then again it's so recent it's at the front of my mind.

    Oh wait, Indigo Prophecy. Obviously. But everyone should play that game. That terrible terrible game. Heavy Rain was terrible too, it was just also fantastic.

    that's the best description of Heavy Rain ever.

    I could make a convincing case that Heavy Rain is the worst written game of all time. God Of War is better written, because it achieves what it was supposed to and didn't reach for anything it couldn't achieve. Heavy Rain is an example of someone finding an ambition worthy of displaying how utterly unhindered by talent they are.

    The dialogue choices in Alpha Protocol were kind of cool. It is the kind of game where I think if they got a sequel it would've been super great, but their first entry was slapdash.

    Enchanted Arms is straight up the worst game I've ever played. It is a normal JRPG, but you almost immediately go to this carnival and suddenly you are talking to a cardboard cutout man with the face of a giant pizza. Fuck that game.

    I hope you liked the writing in Alan Wake though, I did.

    It was a lot more than that image. But that happens within the first 5 minutes of the game. That screenshot looks a lot cleaner than I remember it too, I thought it was all jaggy and ugly.
