Happily. Here a few few quick resources I found for you:

And here a couple references that might interest you if you want more detail on what we generally expect from fiction:

Now, I hope you don't mind if I assume you may feel that I have attacked your opinion of ME3 with my comments. It wasn't my intention to say that you can't enjoy it. Hell, I'm happy for you if you did. But there is a real difference between enjoying something and believing it is good.
In the case of ME3, we can see that some of the most well established principles of writing, thematic and structural elements which are integral to the crafting of a quality narrative, have been abandoned.
If you honestly want to know more, I'd encourage you to take a course in creative writing, or even better, in literary history. With a little background and perspective, you can start to understand why some books, films and games seem to be lacking and why others have a stronger appeal.
EDIT: As I look at your post again, I wonder why you are asking me for specific examples at all, when I have clearly outlined a major structural failing of the narrative in my last post. Oh well, maybe this additional information will be of use to you anyway.

Looks like you didn't quite read your own link... 10 bucks for a single battery. Now let's have a little comparison.
>http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00339NINQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1376521711&sr=8-5&pi=SL75
Four batteries plus the charger? For four more dollars? And doesn't require a USB cable or a wall adapter or Playstation 3 to charge?
Yeah that's substantially cheaper.
I'll do you a favor, I looked it up and found the same battery for five bucks total. Not bad.
However, you can get four Energizer batteries for a little over 10 dollars anywhere they sell batteries.
So each battery is half of what the Playstation 3 one is. Like I said, substantially cheaper.

>If you consider that hard to do, then your intelligence is really lacking and there's truly no other reason to continue this discussion.
I said it was more difficult, not that it was impossible to do. You're not refuting anything.
Also, you do realize this voids the warranty. Good luck getting a replacement if you try this.
>
I'm sorry you are stuck with tons of devices which operate on your precious AA's, I only have my TV remote and Direct TV controller that use such trinkets.
Once again, this refutes nothing about what I said.
>Sorry for the bad grammar I'm on my Iphone which uses one of those proprietary non-removable batteries which make life easier, maybe they should make a phone which uses AA's so you don't have to look for charger!
I'm on a phone too... It's not difficult to have proper spelling and grammar.
For some reason, you really, really want it to sound like these built in batts are some massive innovation but they're really not. It uses the exact same tech to make the Energizer ones and they're nearly identical when it comes down to the performance.
What exactly makes these built in batteries so amazing? What can they do that AA's can't? Just answer that and maybe you'll have a leg to stand on in this little debate. Because so far all you've given me is, "It plugs in to the console!" Big whoop, that's not really a big deal.
I would suggest Deadpool Classic Vol. 2. Volume 1 is fine, but just covers his introduction to the Marvel Universe. Volume 2 is where Joe Kelly finally got his hands on the character and is considered by many fans the best writer Deadpool ever had.
That's not quite the full story. According to this excellent book, Nintendo stuck with cartridges simply so that all orders for game production had to come through them. They had final control over the entire production of SNES/N64 cartridges, giving them a much, much bigger profit margin than if they just sold licenses to develop and release games for their platform, like Sony did.
It's also #1 on amazon.ca for the time being.
When I pre-ordered it a few days ago it was already sitting at #2.
Dark Horse is definitely going to be happy they are releasing this in North America if the pre-orders continue this way.
Also interesting of note is that there is still no cover image on any of the amazon sites that I have seen. I have a feeling Dark Horse will be creating one themselves but it will be interesting to see how it differs from the Japanese version.
Yeah I found the book. So it appears the author was just roleplaying but even the reviews suggest he seemed like he might have gone overboard in that regard. I remember passages where it seemed like he was making a point of asserting it was real which is probably just him trying too hard not actually being insane.

Give this book a read. It's a really easy and actually gives a good history of PC gaming.
No, because a lot of people have said so ranging from countless writers, critics, and developers. Did you even read the story below the Sessler sound bite? There's nothing to prove about it being satire. If you're offended by Grand Theft Auto, which you clearly are, you should be. It's intentional.
A much better source of information will be Jacked: The Outlaw Story of Grand Theft Auto, by the author of Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture, which comes out next month
Nyko makes pretty much the same thing and sells it for 80% less.
EDIT: Turns out you can buy them for even cheaper than that. Amazon has it for $13.25+shipping, and BestBuy has it for $14.99 with free shipping.
Thanks getting this and decided to get this as well.
That seems expensive compared to some other battery options out there. I just bought one made by Nyko on Amazon that claim 2x battery life. Because they were so cheap (~$13), I bought 2! Here is a link, they appear to be getting good reviews.
So, that list is worth losing $30 for a trade in? Or lose $60 for a PC game you can't return.
I thought consumerism was about trying to save money, not just shovel it into the corporate machine. But hey, look, here's a very nice shovel for $30.
It seems to take place decades after XCOM1 (maybe commander was cryogen, "now that we have our best weapon", could be the command center or the commannder himself).
Which could mean that the forces seen in XCOM1 could be a scout force? And that invasion occurs following the events of XCOM1.
They're actually releasing a book that might explain some of the missing time: http://www.amazon.ca/XCOM-2-Resurrection-Greg-Keyes/dp/1608877124
>If you compare the Nephilim Edition for $379.99 to the Collector's Edition for $109.99 you will see that the statue comes with both of them. It looks like the board game is what is increasing the price by $270. This seems like a lot of money to me for a board game and a bigger box, but I don't collect board games.
Looks like you can pre-order from here for $25.89. Aww yeahhh!
I KNOW, just like how movie-esque Sonic Adventure was!
They're doing it differently in the UK then. Different retailers get different things...
Amazon gets "Earth One" (whatever that is) but only with the Catwoman edition (which is XBox 360/PS3) only: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Batman-Arkham-City-PC-DVD/dp/B0030T12BE
Tesco gets a challenge map: http://www.tescoentertainment.com/store/games/sony-playstation-3-batman--arkham-city-%28joker-steelbook-edition%29-with-tesco-exclusive-jokers-carnival-challenge-map/8:779744/
Game has the Robin edition, with extra challenge maps, an extra character and skins, but is about £10 more: http://www.game.co.uk/en/batman-arkham-city-robin-edition-149215
ShopTo gets an extra skin (and is more expensive): http://www.shopto.net/PC/VIDEO%20GAMES/PCBA24-Batman%20Arkham%20City%20Two%20Face%20Steelbook%20Edition.html

Enjoyable but also incredibly nasty at times.
