Lifted from book_memes

Yes, that's right. Shiny new meme for a shiny new year. It's something to do. Not entirely married to this one. I felt sufficiently passionate about the video games meme and that ... well.  We'll see how it goes.

For me, I guess, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is in a unique position where ... I wish Adams hadn't had a bad year ( Read more... )

I never finished this meme! I've got to finish this meme. Here, let's finish this meme.

Anticlimactic we-all-saw-this-coming drum roll, please!

My favorite game of all time is ...

Winback. The adventures of Jean-Luc Cougar, a super-secret operative who's out to save the world.

No, okay. It's Metal Gear Solid. The adventures of Solid Snake, a super- ( Read more... )

[Meaningful discussion of mankind made unknowable to one another through custom and insidious power dynamics. Also layered discussion of landscapes and the tropical biome. Then a picnic.]

Quested: I've been assaulted by an epiphany! I mean an Indian man!

British Administration in India: Rally round our pretty white rose of England!

Best voice acting: The Legacy of Kain series? Vae victis! History abhors a paradox. Etc. I love the dialogue in those games so very much, and the voice acting too.

And though this has nothing to do with the meme's topic du jour, I think I'll give the much-coveted "Most Improved Between Two Installments" award to Mark Meer, because listening to ME1 ( Read more... )

The Witcher 2. Very very excited. About to start replaying The Witcher right now, because I finally bothered to make the Enhanced Edition installer do its job.
