    Yeah, the HD re-release has both Symphonia games, but from everything I hear, the second one (2008 game for the Wii) really isn't very good. So I think you'd be fine just getting the first one. Problem there is that it's only on Gamecube. If you don't have a Gamecube, the PS3 bundled...

    Xillia was pretty good. Graces was really "meh"... the combat system was good, but the game never made me care about the characters at all. Honestly, Vesperia is still my favorite one. Too bad it's only on 360 (at least in the US). Symphonia is #2 for me, thankfully they did that HD...

    Game Of Thrones

    Yeah, I really think this was an instance where something made a lot of sense and had a clear connection in the heads of the writers, but it actually just isn't as clear as they all thought it was. And perhaps worse, they spent nearly four whole minutes just on those beetles. Four minutes is a...

    Game Of Thrones

    Here's one of the showrunners talking about the beetles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB3vgeMijCc#t=6m16s He opined that the writers did a "fantastic job" with the scene, but to me it was definitely a little too bewildering as to what the relevance was.

    Game Of Thrones

    When you go out of your way just to say something like this is boring, you're just being an attention whore, and that's all. The end. "Look at me, look at me, I'm so cool and above it all!" No one is impressed. If you don't care about something, don't make a comment that you don't care...

    This maybe didn't come across in the show, but the Mountain isn't actually dead (though he may yet die), just badly maimed.

    Game Of Thrones

    1. Wow, that ending... goriest thing ever on television? 2. What the hell was the point of Tyrion's beetle story? Is this something where he's going to have an epiphany before the end of the season and tell us what that meant? 3. Kind of a big change with Littlefinger/Sansa. In the book...

    The critical consensus seems to be that it's a fine game, but not nearly as special as many people had hoped it would be. I don't plan on getting it; to me it mostly looks like an inferior GTA, and I'm bored of GTA now anyway.

    You can always try inviting new council members to your court. Even if you're a ruler with high prestige, it can be hard to find people who will come. But usually you can find someone, especially if you send them a gift. Oftentimes if I can find a character with only two more red minuses than...

    Crusader Kings 2 is a crazy game. In terms of creating fun stories for you to tell, it's one of the best ever made. It helps that there's no real end goal other than to try to gather prestige and piety -- you're just playing the game to see what kind of crazy stuff happens. My strategy is...

    Yeah, I love how you can basically take over Europe through marriage. That's the best part of the game for me.

    I can vouch that Crusader Kings II is awesome. I would also strongly suggest picking up Rogue Legacy. Very old school, fun as hell. Can't go wrong for five bucks.

    West Antarctic Ice Sheet Is Doomed

    Hate to burst your bubble, but we're way worse on CO2 emissions per capita than either of those counties. We're more than 3x worse than China, and more than 11x worse than India (link). Their emissions only seem worse than ours because they dwarf the rest of the world in total population...

    From the makers of Bastion comes Transistor, out this Tuesday the 20th on Steam and PS4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT55lch6y_U One of the best game trailers I've seen in quite some time. I loved the music (I may just have to buy the soundtrack), and the art was fantastic. And the...
