I loved that question about what your hell and heaven would be. I couldn't think of a heaven but my hell would be Rapture from Bioshock. Not necessarily because of the crazed splicers or anything. Because it's at the bottom of the freaking ocean. That is the most absolutely terrifying place in the world.

Loved the Thanksgiving hijinks story to start the show. Jacqui and Rob's Thanksgiving sounded way more exciting than mine.
Honestly, game leaks don't bother me as much as other media leaks. I don't know why that is exactly, but I suppose it's because usually the game leaks are mostly positive and mostly accurate while something like movie leaks are generally unsubstantiated and taken out of context.
But how does everyone feel about game announcements being made for the next entry in a series when the current entry is still facing a multitude of problems? Battlefield: Hardlines and the new Assassin's Creed set in London spring to mind immediately. Does this feel disingenuous to anyone else? Personally I'm thrilled by the idea of an Assassin's Creed set in London during the time of Jack the Ripper but knowing that this year's installment is so riddled with bugs makes me feel like next year's installment is being rushed out to appease consumers and stock holders. And we know when happens when games are rushed...

And we know when happens when games are rushed... I'm not a fan of it at all. You feel for those studios in a way because this new AC has supposedly been in the works for years, but they're getting dumped on due to the parent company pushing out leaks to distract the consumer base. It sucks for everyone. |

announcements like that are getting pretty bad in my opinion, not only in games but in comics as well. Having a 1 year cycle on games like battlefield or AC leads to crap like that, where the last game was rushed out the door incomplete and as soon as it's released they have to announce the next one...
or maybe they are trying to say "well we know that one is trash, but we have this shiny new one that will be way better coming up... please keep giving us your money"
