Thanks for the great video Dan. I really enjoyed the 12 plays of Christmas, particularly the many indie entries. Please do it again next year!

ahh given Zorine's job title and (probable) height, she should be RTS. you know, a micromanager :)

Thanks to you and Laura for giving us personal reasons for wanting to play these games. Either that, or the two of you feel more comfortable in front of the camera. The last two days have been far too objective (maybe too scripted?), and belong in a review format.

Fantastic show. It's brilliant to watch an intelligent discussion take place over these issues

@HaloPimp978 This got me thinking and I agree. If Nintendo isn't careful, people will see this as a casual game only device, much like smartphones.

@meat1337 I don't think the article says anything about simplifying the fighting mechanics to cater for newer players. When he is describing the "average player", I believe he is implying that they will quit if they don't understand why they keep losing, which inevitably happens to new players online. If new players are somehow offered insight into their flawed technique and an appreciable way to improve, this genre would entice more players to endure losing.
