Players can elect to summon "cartoony" versions of bats, bombs, guns, and flamethrowers. These types of items can be used to destroy objects or even other summoned items (e.g., a club can be used to hit an animal; steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions; rockets can be lobbed at a man).

"Right after getting back to Japan, [Miyamoto] suddenly said: "You know we're including golf now." Apparently he'd stated in an interview that this time round golf shots would be determined by the backswing, even though at that time a golf game didn't exist in any shape or form!"

-Dragon Age: Origins is grand. If you've ever had any connection to D&D or fantasy storytelling, this is where its at. Frankly, the best things about Dragon Age, its story and its character building, are going to ring true no matter what platform you choose. I'm about 8 hours in, and I'm thoroughly impressed and entertained. - I've realized again that I'm a HUGE GTA fan. There's something about following all of the modern games that's been a real treat for me. I'll try to give that idea some flesh soon. They're not perfect games or narratives, but there's something really special about that series, beyond over publicized sexuality and its open approach to violence. - STFUAJPG. It seems like it needs to be said more often in the fall than any other time, with big name hype riddled games all dropping at once. Are you really going to spend 5 paragraphs of your time complaining about review scores? Go play your game. Are you honestly getting hot and heavy on comment threads about evocative pre-controversy? Play your games. Are really taking time to wallow in critical rhetoric, when the bumber crop is ready to harvest? Play your games. Enjoy them. Revel in that enjoyment and share THAT with your fellow gamer! There's plenty of room for criticism and negativity, but come on. Don't criticize your way out of savoring the goods. You're here because you love games right? Show us your love! - On a somewhat related note, I miss RetroForce GO!

Living the dream since March 16, 2006
As far as GTA goes, I liked GTA III, and Vice City, but felt San Andreas was bland. I had to force myself to get through GTA IV, but after LOVING Lost and Damned, and ADORING The Ballad of Gay Tony, I realized that I loved Liberty City itself, and just didn't care for Niko's Story. I've played Gay Tony more than GTA IV so far.
-I am also a huge GTA fan, I look forward to your thoughts on the subject. It's always refreshing to read about the finer points of GTA without focusing on the sex and violence.
-Totally, if I had let the review scores for Brutal Legend bum me out, I wouldn't be having as much fun with the game as I am (which is to say, a lot of fun).
-I miss it too. =(
The expansive "state" of San Andreas really made that game for me. Driving across highways and small towns to get to different locale all together was a big part of why that's one of my favorites from the series. I also liked CJ. The general reluctance of the character to be a complete maniac (unlike Tommy Vercetti) forced this absurdity into the series that was really refreshing. Most memorably, being forced to infiltrate an aircraft carrier and steal a jet by a shadowy yet personable government agent.

The unique thing about Dragon Age's take on "anti-hero" is the sense of doing right but being perceived as wrong. Fable II touched on that, softly, but Dragon Age is far less forgiving. You're given free reign to be a very heroic/polite/just character. Its definitely possible. But the world and your party may not simply accept and applaud your kindness.
Its kind of a heavy handed gray they're pushing. For example, your characters, no matter how just their reason for fighting, is always splattered in blood after a fight. Its a strange detail, but it really drives home the grim nature of heroicly cutting through hordes of enemies, darkspawn or otherwise.
I'm really tempted to go through my games and see if I have any more good acronym icons. With "DA" and "IV" I feel like I'm a few icons away from spelling something really funny in my gamertag card.
I also resonate with your statement that some gamers seem determined to suck all the joy out of their gaming experience through excessive negativity. Games are like theatre and film in one very important respect. They require suspension of disbelief to maximize the experience for the viewer/player.

YES!
You've gone and done it.
Updating my blog banner this weekend. :)
... GTA... eh, I played GTA4 and couldn't finish it. Hated the shooting/driving mechanics and found the gameplay boring. The online play was fun though!
...Ah! I am woman. I can multitask! I am quite capable of playing games while concurrently typing drivel and complaining about review scores or games that aren't out yet! :)
(and I find that I am playing the MAG beta about 5-6 hours every day while also squeezing in a few hours of both Dragon Age and Ratchet and Clank: Crack in Time!! - I think I need to get a life!)
Nice random blog! :)
Someone dial up the retro phone, we need RFGO back! I finally DVR'd The Wizard, so I think I'll check that out with the commentary episode this weekend.
If it helps in your gamercard quest, Oblivion's icon kinda looks like an A or an O, Soulcalibur IV = C IV, N+, Viva Pinata = VP, Dead Rising = D, Peggle = P
