I liked Samara. She had the personality of Bea Arthur and Charlotte the spider, looked like the opera singer from Fifth Element, and went Scanners on people. That's a combination I can approve of. Plus, she refused to sleep with Occam Shepard. I liked that she just sorta smiled at me and brushed me off.
Your cover of Deadly Premonition is better than mine. Same with Dead Rising. This is an unfortunate trend.
If I were to label the occurrence that is happening in and around that scarf, the words cat vomit would not be easily dismissed.
Of course coming from the "hawaiian shirt guy" as I am referred to on campus, I can't speak on it too much.

Adventure games puzzle me. I would love to get into them, but I find myself engulfed in a sea of confusion every single time. I tried Phoenix Wright, (Blade Runner, and Snatcher as you know), and barely even touched Hotel Dusk. I'll give 9 Waffles 9 Replicants 9 Klingons a try, but I'm afraid (even for Last Window) that I'm gonna have to rely on player's guides, and the "where's my fucking gun" button. I am definitely not a patient man when it comes to storytelling, (my lost, I suppose).
I'm afraid Samara will only be remembered by a pity few for her skinsuit and cobalt cleavage. She was indeed a very interesting character to barter with. I wish I would've gone with her evil "soul-eating" sister instead.
As for Deadly Premonition -- even thought I haven't finished it, yet-- it was truly one of the most bizarre experiences of 2010. I will be scarred for life by these horrendous vehicle controls, yet I enjoyed myself way more than I originally expected. I need to watch Twin Peaks, if only to understand half of the game's quirkiness.
As for your dignity; I've seen much worse. It makes you look intellectual actually, which quite fits your personality. Maybe your father isn't as ignorant as you might think. Maybe he thinks you like Jazz, and hang out in local café pretending to be an artist. Maybe, he's just worried about you, getting sick.... the scarf's rubbish init?

That scarf is a conundrum, only chavs wear burberry, but chavs will never wear scarves.
That is if they still wear burberry, and people still call them chavs....see it’s confusing!
Deadly Premonition remains one of the main reasons why I’m jealous of 360 owners.

Ahhh, it's good to be back.
@Occams: For some reason I can never get that near-miss romance option to come up again. I really liked that she was one of the few who had issues but didn't feel like droning on about them or being all in your face to prove something. Alien MILFs, huh?
@Dixon: You had to notice that mistake, didn't you? We do get some great videogame covers over here. Though I'd kill for the High Stakes Edition of Dead Rising 2.
@Zarwid: Yeah, that's a shame, but at least all DS games are region free. *knowing wink*
@Kraid: It's okay, the scarf is dire. I know it, you know it. Ha!
I'll admit I've always got my head in a guide for point and click adventures, but I'll keep at it if there's a good story waiting to get started. I like play novels, but you really have to get into the mindset for something like Hotel Dusk, Snatcher and Super Famicom Detective Club. I guess I like playing the investigator a lot because they're so rare.
That's why I much prefered breaking into dead girl's dressers for new leads in Deadly Premonition than shooting the Shadow monsters!
@Handy: I've also noticed a huge increase in pimp tracksuits recently. Shoot me if you ever see me in one. I did rock the shell-suit look when I was about 11-12. If it makes you feel better, I'm jealous you guys have Uncharted, but not too much since I can still play it over other people's houses.

LMAO!! Love that header pic!!
Awesome awards!... and that scarf, it's got personality... kinda like that hat you like so much! :)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. There was a sequel to Hotel Dusk and I never even got to play it? I pre-ordered that shit back in the day and loved it.
Admittedly some of the puzzles were infuriating because you couldn't find all the pieces you needed easily, but man, that was one cool ass game.

What's awesome is I know you know who Irvin Kershner is, because you show a picture of Vader but say "director of Robocop 2" and nobody remembers that movie (cept me)
I haven't put down serious time with Deadly Premonition, but I've fully played Alan Wake. I have to say, I enjoyed Alan Wake. I collected Coffee with a vengeance. I didn't think it detracted from the experience because I believe all paranoid writers run on coffee.
@Elsa: I bloody loves that hat too! The first scarf is actually Emma's and I like that one. Yes, I'm willing to experiment with women's things.
@Wry: Yeah, it's a bit of a sad fate for Last Window. It only came out in Septemeber though, so there's still a chance to import it. I think there's a YouTube playthrough already up too. Seriously, if you loved Hotel Dusk, you'll enjoy this one too. I'd say it's better than the original since there's more to do this time around. A lot shorter though, but the pacing is better for it.
@Gareth: Aaaaaay! You saw what I did there! "You're on fire..." as Chuck Greene would say. Ha!
@Law: I actually despised the coffee because I collected 92 flasks on my first playthrough and they don't show up again on a new run, so you don't know which ones you've collected without a guide. I prefered looking for the manucripts instead. Their little bits of info made them far too rewarding to miss out on.

ummm...I liked Samara, but felt she was thrown in to the story with Thane too late. Maybe if we came across the two of them in disc 1 like Liara, there might have been something, but I was just grinding with new characters in disc 2.
You could have thrown a cactus with a mustache in my party and would have gotten the same result as the Disc 2 characters got. This would have eventually led me to give Senor Cactus some great epiphany by discovering that his father was a monster and that we had to destroy this Cactaceaen threat.
Afterwards, his secondary pallet change would have been unlocked and blue Cactus and I would race off to save the galaxy from a terminator.
All I'm saying is that they squandered the story's potential by putting such a simple event too far past the first disc. Once I had 4 party members and 10-20 hours invested, the other 3 just didn't matter.
I need to import that last Cing game. Does anybody know if Wii's are region free? I'd also love to get Another Code R as well, if I'm going to be importing.

I didn't really like Samara or Liara very much. I think it has something to do with Asari coming off as pretentious and holier-than-thou. Although I do have to admit, mad props to Liara after the whole Shadow Broker ordeal...almost went lezzie for that one...
I would have liked SH: SM except I prefer to confront enemies rather than frantically running away to hide. I'm not a pussy and I don't expect my video game characters to be either.
By the by, is that a Burberry scarf? If you don't want it, toss it my way :]

@Mana: Ha! You've totally reminded me of Cactus Gunman from Gregory Horror Show!
I agree with the 2nd disc characters, especially with Legion. He was obviously the most important character of the lot, what with the forthcoming Geth/Quarian war and his virus to fix the collective. Yet, if you want the best ending, you can only use him for one loyalty mission. Seemed like a waste after the build up.
@Caiters: I'm not a fan of Liara at all (I'm an Ash man), but I liked the sociopath she'd become in Shadow Broker.
As for SH:SM, I'm a total pussy, but I do love being stuck in a bad situation and the easiest option isn't available to you. It makes you use your brains, which why I really miss games like Forbiden Siren. It's too easy to pick up a gun and destroy your nightmares. That's why the flares are so effective in SM; they're little breathers rather than real empowerment.
Also, I think it's a fake Burberry scarf. Ugh.

I didn't like Ashley -- or Kaidan/Carth for that matter. So glad they had better romance options in the sequel, I <3 Thane to death (literally).
Well, I did like the times when it made me solve some kind of puzzle to escape, but most of the time I just ended up running into a monster over and over again and I was helpless. It was testing my ability to run and hide, not to solve any kind of puzzle at that point. And then the rest of the game is spent wandering around this pretty empty town and it's kind of boring and obvious what's going on... I did really enjoy the little quizzes and stuff throughout -- I hope they implement that in later games.

I enjoyed this! But it reminded me that I need to fix by damn Xbox so that I get back to the other shit-ton of games I'm missing out on.
Nice to have you back Stevil! And I refuse to believe that you´re not raping stuff sir. Fancy scarf! Cool that you´re still together with your girl, now get on dressing her in naughty outfits vaugly resembling cute girls from survivor horror games and then take some pictures and post them on the internetz ! kthx? I can´t say for sure but I think Samara´s tit´s where tad bid smaller. I also enjoyed Shattered Memories! A lot, and I agree with it not needing the franchise tag :P
Great awards, sir. I still need to play Shattered Memories. I would have if Blockbuster had a copy.
Anyway, as for Alan Wake VS Deadly Premonition, you should probably get both. I know why you had such a hard time choosing.
But if I was forced to choose, I would say DP. Cans of Hollendaise that you eat puts it over the top. I like Alan Wake but I feel much more involved with Zach. Alan Wake is like an awesome movie, but DP is like a lucid dream.
Plus, I love those hiding/chase sections with the Raincoat Killer. It's so reminiscent of something that would happen in a PS1 era horror game. I could go on, but I will stfu.
Bravo.
