And Gaider thinks the presentation stank and you'd have to be a fucking moron to show the end of a romance because you haven't touched the viewer's <s>little children</s> emotions, yet.

Well I have to agree with him and I haven't even seen this video yet. For people that want to see the romance this is like showing the end of the game before it is released. Utterly retarded.

EA is marketing Dragon Age, not Bioware. Bioware did however make the New Shit video.

Actually, wasn't that Blur? They did the E3 trailer and the tOR one, in any case.

Why does she give you a handjob when you select blowjob?

Also, not as funny as that horrific sex-in-dialogue youtube vid. Anyone know what I'm talking about? (can't find it again)

EDIT: there it is. Friggin' hilarious

I think they're responsible for the visual part, not for "dark, gritty and mature", choosing gore and sex as the main hype element or using Manson's song.

On comic vs graphic novel, I've always assumed it was a matter of the impression each term gives. To the uninformed a comic sounds like something a 14 year old might read while a graphic novel sounds closer to literature and therefore should be taken more seriously.

I prefer the term comic, simply because that's what it is. I just get the impression the writers in question prefer the term graphic novel for the reason above. Anyway. I think this is the realm of critics, really, labelling stuff and ordering it in importance, which is one of the reasons I generally don't like critics, going on what I know of them.
Alan Moore and co actually loathe the term graphic novel. The man himself quite proudly says that he writes comics, and that graphic novel as a term is just marketing bullshit.

To me, the only thing graphic novel means is that the publishing format is one step up from albums in size, nice and thick.

I am looking forward to the C&C this opens up.

Do I pull out? Should I stick it in her but? These, and other things could have huge consequences if implemented correctly.

If one convince Morrigan to move from the kingdom, PC's and and her son, who were raised by tribals, returns later on with army to fight against the king (or is it emperor? never mind) and become the ruler. This scenario can be avoided by choosing anal or oral.

I don't like the term comic, since I find it silly to refer to certain stories that are not even remotely humorous as "comics". But I don't really like "graphic novel" either, since "novel" implies a certain length and format of storytelling.

Many European languages have terms that translate to "drawn strip", which is a minimal, matter-of-fact description of the medium, with no implications about the content.

D) You put a towel on the floor, by the two-inch gap under the door. Then they can't see you anymore.

I just find it curious that somebody needs to find an alternate term like graphic novel out of some "innate shame" of reading comics. Comics as a medium is far too different from literature and movies to be linked to them so directly. In fact, I'd say that in regards to storytelling it's a superior medium.

Viconia was hot and psychotic, yet I didn't get into her pants after all that time putting up with her constant whining.

Sort of like real life, for me.

Now if all I need is a book....
