He's missing out on a lot of fun.  I can't even get him to play any retro games.  He's too content with Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and TOR.

He's no gamer.

How do you guys feel about a backwards week? Or scrambled week

I could flip your names around (ex: Phi = ihP or hiP)... yeah, I'm out of good ideas.

Boy it must be fun to be able to change your name at will.

It certainly feels refreshing. Not like I have much creativity when it comes to names though.

I can change yours if you want

Beat BioShock Infinite. That ending... holy [tornado fang]. As confusing as that was, Virtue's Last Reward's take on multiple timelines/worlds is about 50x more complex than that. However, ironically, it's easier to understand in VLR, as it's a visual novel, therefore text-heavy descriptions on how the "laws" of alternate realities work.

Infinite explains it for 10 minutes (the ending) and then it's done. Granted, the Voxophone recordings do help out.

(click to show/hide)

I had a nagging feeling that Comstock was future DeWitt from the beginning. And I became almost certain they were the same after Booker killed Comstock, which caused his nose to bleed; a state between life and death.

One thing I do have to say, I hated the final battle. A LOT. It was so disorganized and not very entertaining at all. Actually, the gameplay in its entirety feels a bit... off. Gunplay works like it should, but combining that with Vigors took a lot of getting used to. It just didn't flow well together with me. Hell, I think I would have enjoyed it more if there were no Vigors. I don't know if it's the dualshock layout, but it felt a bit sloppy.

---

Now, the real meat of this game, the ending. I predicted that either Elizabeth or Booker would die by the ending from before I even had this game. But the way it was done was masterful. Only a few games have impacted me in a way that made me feel for a character I'd never imagine to care about. Suddenly, Comstock's Voxophone recording about "perhaps the man submerged (in the holy water) is both sinner and saint" makes so much sense.

Booker is quite complex, and I'm sure his part in Wounded Knee was only a fraction of the sins he wanted to be cleaned of. They honestly don't give you much detail on this guy, yet I felt conflicted when Elizabeth drowns him. That, to me, is extraordinarily amazing to pull off. I mean, why should you care for the guy? He's just a man, a sinner, someone who just wants to protect himself. But I find myself wishing he would live, even after all the hell his birth as Comstock creates and succeeds onto Elizabeth; Anna. (Really didn't figure out that the "AD" mark on his hand stood for Anna DeWitt).

[tornado fang]ing amazing game, and I still don't know everything that happened. Going to replay it and/or find information online that I've missed.

lol... all the random patients' names in Trauma Center (not the main chars, but random one-time only npcs) are named after TV Doctors. And it's a mix of character names and actor names.

Also, Mario Kovac. Guess they mixed Dr. Mario with ER.

Never noticed that. And I played it a shitload.

Oh, and yes, I quoted a post from 2011. Get on mah level!

WHY isn't this a movie

2D animation, done right, is always incredible. This has such an authentic and dynamic feel to it that 3D just can't do. However, there is a brief exception,

Paperman

, which used 3D polygons, with lines and shading filled in to give a 2D feel.
