Ah, I've seen a couple of those. He must be one of those talented actors who disappears into each role, rather than essentially playing the same character over and over.

And my axe! Congrats to him. I don't know who he is -- oh, I've probably seen his work I guess, but don't recognize the name -- but sounds like a worthy award.

You aren't alone. Usability trumps aesthetics for me.

Good ones. /s I'll try anything. I prefer games with strong themes, especially if themes are reflected well in the mechanics. Single player solitaire in a multi-player game, pasted-on-theme, and/or no meaningful choices are right out. I do prefer fantasy and sci-fi themes to "mundane" ones. In...

Plus, the colors of Christmas are red and green, which as every orc knows, are the color of their skin and the color that makes things fastest and most powerful. If that isn't a sign, they don't know what is.

The holiday for the rest of us! I expect you've all completed your feats of strength, aired your grievances, and are now dancing around the Festivus pole.

Pitch it as a horror story.

Crossover comic issue. Sell the movie rights and PROFIT! Just needs a catchy title... Transmasters of the Universe!

Yep, I buy that. M34 isn't a Christmas movie; it's simply a movie set at Christmas.
