Xbox's collapse is kind of funny if one remembers that the original's success was almost entirely built on Patriotic appeal and Halo; they did interesting stuff in Japan--throwing cash at a bunch of developers, resulting in Steel Battalion, Otogi, and Metal Wolf Chaos--but

Enemy encounter system: battle starts within the terrain, though Sea lacks the strategic element. It's okay but doesn't really do anything. I am not sure how to articulate it yet, but indie games seem to be the new graveyard of MFA Sara Lawrence types, which I guess is fine

My son loves Andy Capp Hot Fries and he kept pressing about the comic "it isn't funny, Andy just drinks beer and smokes and sometimes Mrs. Capp hits him on the head" and he thought it was the funniest thing he ever heard.
