Wish it was a new Advance Wars, but seeing as Awakening did well I am not surprised to see a new Fire Emblem game out of IS.

Dude, come on. The point isn't to make fun of dead soldiers. It's a video game - it's not real, fantasy violence and all that. Why not try to one-up the "hide in mass grave" button prompt, nobody really cares about Call of Duty's story so it is the perfect place to just go stupid. Do people honestly think this text got through tons and tons of meetings, sprint/milestone demos and review sessions by the developers without someone mentioning how ridiculous it is?

Hmm... I just assumed it was a joke by the developers because of how out of place it is. It pokes fun at itself and at other games as games become more and more linear and quick timey.

Actually the assumption that the developers honestly thought of it as a thing to be taken serious is somewhat disheartening on Patrick's part.

We don’t want to turn the site into a political platform

That ship sailed a looooong time ago.

Slow news day, huh?

Maybe we should just get rid of twitter? Also, welcome Dan and Jason, I am excited for the future of Giant Bomb!

Man, this direct really got me looking into finally picking up a Wii U. Played 64 and Melee to death with a childhood friend of mine and this one is looking really good. Also, it was cool to see Nintendo do a direct that focused solely on one developer, no Reggie, Iwata or any other Nintendo personal. Not that they are bad presenters, but the whole thing felt more earnest.

Nice to see more article content, Pat, and some good stuff too. Love you duder.
