Actually, it looked like the dispute was between the statement that the PS3 is very reliable vs the statement that the PS3 is more reliable than a 360. When he says "a PS3 is more reliable than a 360, but that doesn't mean the PS3 is reliable", countering with "the PS3 is more reliable than the...

I liked Fable, and I like the idea of the XBox Originals, but... Well, you can probably pick up used games of these for cheaper than $15, and if you've got the standard 20gig, I'm not sure how fast you can fill it with these. Still, I never played Psychonauts, so there's always that.

Wow, what a bad review, IMO. Just wants to poke at the guy and genre, IMO. Tabula Rasa has a bit of a grind, sure, because anything with levels does. There are quests that revolve around "kil 10 monsters" but they are a minority and not central to the quest lines. I don't think the interface...

I think the point is more that, no matter the explanation, there is a requirement to investigate thoroughly. There is no "easy explanation" that would lead to the rest of the world going "oh, okay, that's fine then" and move on with life. A nuclear blast occurred above NY and an answer MUST be...

From what I had gathered, Bungie was semi-free willed as part of MS. I'm sure the contracts were simply coming up on 7th year and rather than lose developers, MS would rather grab up an exclusive deal with Bungie Independent rather than lose the heart of the division. I"m sure the money came up...

4e racial write ups will be a bit more statted than the 3e section. An MM entry won't be the same probably. I expect them to be online, since hopefully they're doing an Eberron update of some sort before 09. Either way, the design choice that cuts out the gnome is not one I'll follow.

It's not really that you see a need, but do you see a need for them to NOT be there? Just because you don't like something, should it be removed rather than you simply ignoring it? Anyway, I don't see any overlap between gnomes and halflings, other than they're short. I certainly don't see any...

I disagree, not because Neville lacks a scar, but because he has never really had anything that shows Vold marked him as an equal. Harry's got the scar, he's been attacked at various points, he's important to Vold. Neville probably doesn't even come up in conversation. Neville's importance to...

Sylar has cold generation powers, that's separate from any nuclear powers. He froze Molly's (apparent) father.

Ambiguity is not as omnipresent as you seem to think. The paintings might be open to some interpretation, but otherwise facts that have been presented as facts have not been contradicted at later points with any sort of regularity. The paintings are not cut & dry, true. That doesn't mean that...

If your only method of discussing the show is to point out that everything is a falsehood, then why bother trying to work within the framework for discussion? Seriously, Hiro says he healed when he was stabbed, and he found the cheerleader and prevented Sylar from getting the power. Is it...

I've heard a few folks that think he didn't save Claire in the revised timeline, but I don't think that is automatically a given. Claire obviously WAS saved, since she's not dad. I've heard plenty of folks that think her death was faked and that she never met the Petrelli's and so on, but the...

I think an Unearthed Arcana style book twice a year would be good, as long as the material was good. But, yeah, we don't know. Lurking Lidda's Magic NDA Ball probably has "ask again in 3 months" come up a lot. :)

I just meant that in that specific quote of "what about those of us that hate online stuff", it was probably referring to the books (especially the "online compendium") as products they're using to support folks that won't like online stuff. From my point of view, I don't think it's a matter of...

My read of it isn't that the DI is for everyone, but rather that for those that don't want internet stuff, there will still be plenty of D&D print products, including compilations of the online material.
