Dead Space 2 is an amazing game. I'm going to write about its scary moments, cool kills, and how much I dig the main character's internal struggle, but Dead Space 2 is about more than this.
It's so nice that they're posting middle schoolers' free-writing assignments now.
It makes me so fucking mad. As someone trying to be a writer (in any capacity), it frustrates me to no end to see review, especially videogame review sites, that use a "blog" style to get away with being fucking awful. Kotaku, IGN and GiantBomb are always littered with typos, poor grammar, spelling mistakes and shit writing.
It's like, you guys are still a publication, fucking act like it.

Whats funny is when people are all like "Whoa karthus has 300 creep kills". Well yeah, pushing a lane is as much as pressing e then walking down the lane.

Karthus is rough in the early game, but once he gets 2 or 3 levels into his E ability, he's retardo good.
Mostly because he farms like a boss and can buy all the super expensive AP items.
Like, say, 4 deathcaps. >.>

Highlander has the most amazing casting ever. Yes, let's cast a French guy as a Scotsman and a Scottish guy as an Egyptian named "Ramirez."
But that's all of Connery's career.
Roles Connery has played:
A Russian Sub Captain with a Scottish accent
An American expat Doc with a Scottish accent
An American Archeology Professor with a Scottish accent
An American Military Officer with a Scottish accent
An English Spy with a Scottish accent
An English Outlaw with a Scottish accent
I mean there is some sort of pattern here.
You forgot an immortal Egyptian pretending to be Spanish with a Scottish accent giving advice to a Scotsman with a Swiss accent. :P

On one hand, the IGN Review of Dead Space 2 is bad. On the other hand, the internet hate machine has literally torn this poor guy apart.
The fact is, you can be right, and still be a dick.

I have started reading the classic Marv Wolfman/George Perez run on The New Teen Titans, DC's (successful) ploy in the early 80's to replicate Marvel's success with X-Men. It's interesting so far. The characters are well-defined and entertaining, the story moves lightning-fast - like, none of this six issues to a single plot bullshit, they are together and a team by page 15 of the first issue - and Perez's art is lush and gorgeous, but it also really highlights why Marvel had the edge at that point in history, because the writing has this weird 60s stiffness, with Robin (ostensibly a modern 18-year-old) saying shit like "blast!" or "by thunder," and through being spelled repeatedly as thru and just all this weird shit that even the squarest Marvel comics had largely left behind by 1980.

It was a quick sampling. I mean I could have included An Irish-American with a Scottish Accent from the Untouchables as well. But I figured I had driven the point to home. Or Russian Count with a Scottish Accent.

If I remember correctly, that was the early period in DC's Vertigo line where it was still an experiment. Anything remotely edgy got pushed to it.

the people in this movie don't look stoned at all! I feel like, if you're going to go for a stoner gag, everyone involved needs to actually smoke weed at least once.

Nah, man, this was ten years before Vertigo. This was even before the first "mature readers" books like Swamp Thing - it was straight-up Comics Code vanilla. But even Kitty Pryde got to say stuff like "damn." Robin is stuck sounding like a teenager circa 1920 or something.
I've been going QEQWQRQEQEERE, but I've been thinking of changing it up and sinking more points into E early on.
The W is too useful to dump that early, so maybe like....QEQWEREQQ? I dunno, I should experiment with it.
I go pretty much QEQEQE grabbing W once the team fights start, and still mostly going QE after that.
Sometimes I accidentally get my second level of E instead of W at level 4, and I almost always regret it.
Especially in mid, because once I hit 6 it's a matter of running towards the enemy, toggling E, spamming Q, and dropping a wall on top of them, and then smashing R if they manage to get away.
The only times I don't get a kill around level 6 are when I'm facing champions I have a particularly tough time with, like Mordekaiser.

I dunno, they reprint it sometime with different covers. is it all painted artwork inside? if so, yes.
I think so, yes.
last time [chat] talked about her someone linked an interview that mentioned her husband
unfortunately this generally translates to "OMG MY ULT'S UP HERE WE GO"
I really like Alex Ross's artwork.

A lot of people don't have the luxury of getting to do their jobs poorly.

That being said though I never mess up than and then, unlike all of you.

It's okay, sometimes, to hit her.
I hope I'm not the only one trying to pronounce this.
Game reviewers always have. This isn't a new thing. I remember back in the day how awful Nintendo Power articles were.

I beg to differ good sir. Weatherman, politicians, and seattle sports teams all stand in defiance of your rules!
