Number Two's eyes narrowed and became what are known in the Shouting and Killing People trade as cold slits, the idea presumable being to give your opponent the impression that you have lost your glasses or are having difficulty keeping awake. Why this is frightening is an, as yet, unresolved problem.

I'm not sure that could be any more awesome.

That level's so legendary that if you said you had, I would have a hard time believing even you. :)

Reviving this to show you the MLP sculptures somebody makes and posts on DeviantArt.  Didn't look dirty to me, but I didn't look at them all.

I should go back and try some more D3. It's been a while.

The following gallery was posted on Reddit this morning with the caption:

Wife is a huge Fallout fan. I told her, "your birthdays are going to be really, really disappointing from now on."

And in case you don't notice the text at the bottom, it's custom made.

But didn't Disgaea on the DS suck?

No - it was good! Or at least I thought so.  They made great use of the two screens, and the gameplay was just as good as on other systems.

Words to live by. We don't actually like closing off threads from new users, because we don't want to look unfriendly... but we don't want cluttered boards either. :)

Best idea ever, or dumbest?  You make the call.

I seriously watched the original (slower) version of that all the way through.  I used to love Snake.

Yeah, I went to watch the latest OP episode, saw that's what it was, and bailed.  Luffy's swell, and tough, and some kind of idiot savant, and I like his show, but he couldn't take the Dragon Ball crew.

I think the question ran more to "If you're taking video games back because you can't afford them, why are you going to spend money on yet another game?  How can you afford it? And if you can only afford one game, why are you returning both and buying a new one?"

The reveal of the actual painting at the end is what really sells it to me.  So awesome.

Haha - I think I'd describe my feelings about BoS' story as "conscious."

Just remember to keep in mind that it's Rob's Top 5-- not an RPGFan top 5 or an 'Overall, all time Top 5."

This.  I'm not arguing that Rob made bad picks, just that if we all got together and wrote up lists of stories we were disappointed by, there'd be some doozies, and it'd be a long list. :)

Of course, the other aspect of "underwhelming" is that it carries the assumption that you thought a game would have a good story, but it didn't.  For example, Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel has a story that is stupid and terrible and doesn't fit with the canon Fallout universe.  But I wouldn't call it underwhelming, because I didn't expect it to have a good story.

Edit: Looked at my list of scores and was reminded of White Knight Chronicles 2 and Paper Mario Sticker Star.  I would say that both of them have underwhelming stories.  WKC2 appeared to be this big, epic thing, but the developers didn't seem to think that its story was even worth telling.  Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door had an awesome story, and although it wasn't much of an RPG, Super Paper Mario had a good one as well.  Sticker Star, however, felt like it had a story almost as an afterthought.
