Biden's lead is only widening because Trump supporters are refusing to take pollster calls. Trump has created such animosity towards these firms that it's given rise to an unexpected sampling bias.

Nobody seems to understand Trump's strategy here. He's doubling down on his attacks, because that will force Clinton to step up her defense of this woman, making Machado closely knit with the Clinton campaign in the public's eye. Trump can then unload everything he has on her (and there's plenty, including some shady and possibly illegal things), and Clinton will get hit in the blowback.

You do NOT want Machado as a public face for your organization. Trump knows this, because he went through it in the 90s.

Cover looks like the medieval pornography I saw on Fleshbot.com once. I would be embarrased to bring that game to the counter.

People shouldn't blame the MMO for the lack of a third KOTOR game. The franchise may well have been in limbo if Bioware didn't decide to use the universe for an online game.

Shadow of Chernobyl had an exciting main story that took you through some terrifying underground areas. There were some glaring flaws with the open-ended gameplay, however, but many of them were smoothed out by some huge mods.

Clear Sky was a better sandbox game, but covered a lot of the same area. Also, the main story wasn't as good.

Call of Pripyat is the most polished game in the series. It perfected the open-ended gameplay and improved the gunplay. I just wish it had the same terrifying atmosphere as first game. I thought Prypiat and the surrounding areas were a little bland.

I still like SoC the best, with CoP a close second. I can overlook a lot of the first game's flaws, because the time I spent with it was so memorable.

I didn't think it was a good idea until I heard the girl sing. Dang!

I would say The Legend of Zelda. There are some who say it's not an RPG, but Link does look sort of elvish.

The game went through several significant changes during development. I remember when it did have a biological horror kind of setting. There's also the connection to the System Shock series.

Playing with a controller is far superior, because the trigger buttons better reproduce the action of firing a gun. Clicking a mouse just doesn't do it for me.

Also, moving with the WASD keys feels archaic and limited. This is 2009, let's use analog movement.
