Kris, you need to stop talking about how you look for the same stuff in games that I do, because between that and your comics, I feel like I'll have no choice but to become your creepy stalker. The cardboard standee of you sitting next to me on the couch is only going to work for so long.

I've been drawn to The Witcher because of CD Projeckt Red's fantastic costume and setting design. Those high medieval outfits are, like, the best. It all reminds me quite a bit of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, which I also quite like. But the first game's whole "bang a girl, get her trading card, collect 'em all" struck me as gross and insulting, and prevented me from getting it.

XBox Live Gold offered The Witcher 2 for free download a few months ago, so now I can finally start getting into the game. I've only just started it, since it took me forever to complete the tutorial (interruptions + so many controls and options = confused Devin; I have the same problem with Assassin's Creed). But I'm liking what I see so far. It's encouraging to hear The Witcher 3 is even better. When I finally get an XBox One or PS4 sometime in the 2020s, I'm sure I'll really enjoy it.

I am 100% in favor of a Dragon Age-oriented episode. I'm only in Act 2 in Inquisition, but I'm a huge fan of the earlier games and the setting itself. Hearing your guys' take on them would be fun.

Like Chloister, I am 100% in favor of more historically-based games that aren't necessarily about murdering Templars.

Fable: My wife really enjoys the Fable games, so for her sake I hope it's really good.

Halo: Kris, once again, I think we are on the same wavelength. I would really get into the Halo universe if only the goofy Grunts weren't in it. Something about their sheer ridiculousness keeps me at arm's length, even though I find the glimpses into Earth society pretty neat, and I feel like they did a lot of work building the setting even though not a lot of it gets much focus. I really like the visual dictionaries they've published on the world.

But I would recommend Halo: Reach to people who like the setting. It's a prequel, it's not about the Master Chief but rather a team of characters with personalities, I feel like it gives more glimpses into the setting than other Halo games (especially in the beginning) and it's got a storyline I find more interesting than that of the main Halo games. And I find myself playing it over and over.

Fingers crossed for Fallout 4!

I'm so glad to hear about other people who enjoy these games for the setting details; the "lore" as the kids say. That's my favorite part about these games; that and immersing myself in said setting. When I first heard about MMOs, I was *so* excited about the idea: a setting in which you could interact not just with pre-programmed NPCs but other real, live players - tons of them - in a fantasy world. I was thrilled to try out my first MMO, Ultima Online...only to find out the bitter truth: the vast majority of people are not into these things so they can roleplay a character, to put it mildly. I still smart from the sting of that first lesson in the days of my callow youth.

Back in my prime WoW days I was on the Moon Guard server (then known as "the RP server") in a great Orc guild, where we were all about the roleplays and getting into lore and all that groovy stuff. Consistently, what made me lose interest was the grinding and the great numbers of people who were not only indifferent to people trying to roleplay in an MMO but actively hostile to us. I miss that (the RPing with a community, not the leet-speak antagonism).

I was already getting bored with the grind in my final days, where I was only playing so that I could play with my wife, brother and a few friends and family members. I ended up leaving the entire scene behind when they came out with the Kung Fu Panda expansion.

But every now and again, I'll creep onto my old Lord of the Rings Online character and just wander around, looking at the stars.

Thanks for the great show, guys!

Okay, wait a second - I'm still listening to it - and enjoying it, thanks for doing this show - but did you guys actually say that because a game was "no longer canon," it wasn't fun any more?

Awwww, yeah. I'm totally in, sir.

"From the creative minds who brought you 'Other M'..."

The fact that she has been forced to do this by these inhuman hatemongers is simply intolerable. Note that her profuse apologies made no difference. We should all take this as a lesson: there is NO compromising or negotiating with these sorts of people. They will kill us if they can. We can't allow people like them to run the world, and certainly not to determine what we Americans can and cannot do in our own country.

I hear you, man. I feel the same way - Angie Harmon and Sandra Bullock have long been at the top of my list. Angie Harmon is a stunningly beautiful woman, and the fact that she's conservative just makes her that much more attractive.

My understanding is that Speedy Gonzales was a quite popular character among Latinos.

Hear, hear! I'm sick to death of the romanticizing of divorce and abandonment. I've seen more than one so-called 'romantic comedy' that began with this vile old chestnut, and it never fails to make me instantly dislike the protagonist. Everything that follows is tainted by that act of unfaithfulness and betrayal.

It would be so refreshing to see a movie in which a character remains faithful despite temptation and difficulty, instead of abandoning all they pledged to keep sacred because "It just wasn't right for me," or any of the hundred other ways of trying to justify simple human selfishness.
