http://www.actionbutton.net/ I don't like all of the reviews on here but their manifesto of the best games of all time is pretty cool. And I like Tim Rogers' particular brand of insanity that leads to him writing 18,000 words about FFXIII and then giving it 2/4.

Again I bring up the topic that holds Marle smacking her butt in it.
Plotscripting. Plotscripting is where a character does something
without you controlling them. Mini games, one of the many great
thing in Chrono Trigger, are a great example of Plotscripting! On
the hitting the bell with the mallet game in the fair Chrono moves
up and down while you get ready to press the "B" button to make
him hit it. It's just a easier way to do things. This game has tons
of it! It's all done so well too! All the moves characters do out of
battle that you don't make them do is Plotscripting!

Chrono Trigger posted:

Crono (don't get confused here...)
Age: 15
Sex: Female (You'll understand if you read this)
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 107 lbs.
Weapon: Katana (the same type as Crono)
Magic-Type: Lightning

When you go to 1000 AD (as long as it's after the trial, you'll be fine), you
go into Crono(m)'s house...you go to the area wear the light is and search
around and you'll find a shiny thing...press that, and you hear something
above you. Go upstairs to the bedroom, and you see a passageway in the
wall directly in front of you. Walk through the passageway and you see a
girl who resembles Crono(m), only with dark brown hair and deep brown
eyes. Still, the resemblance is (to put it in Frog/Glenn's words) uncanny. You
talk to her, and she jumps a bit, then smiles at your group and says, "Hey,
I'm Crono..." Not such a big line, but what can you do...at least she talks,
unlike our male Crono (Don't get me started on that). You tell her the deal,
and she just yawns very loudly and obviously, then looks over her shoulder
at the shadows, and, addressing the shadowed area, says, "Alright, you
two...you can come out now." And two more people come out (Names: Lucas
and Nicki, and they will get their own descriptions). So these three decide,
what the heck, why not join up with our time-traveling heros...after all...how
else are they to get home, right? I mean...rats...I guess that brings us to
the history of Crono(f). Crono(f) was born after Crono(m) got married to
Marle/Nadia in 1005, and she is the younger sister of Crono(m)...their
father was actually somewhere in Porre all of Crono(m)'s life up until after
the wedding, and he apologized to his wife for not being around...she gets
pregnant and he leaves again, and, in time, Crono(f) is born. Fifteen years
later, there is a fair to commemorate the fifteenth birthday of the prince,
and it's at what is known as Leene Square in 1000 AD and as Nadia Square
in 1020 AD. She and two of her friends were brought to 1000 AD by a time
warp that mysteriously opened up, and they join you. She'd be a great
warrior, and Melchoir would actually end up making two Rainbows, one for
each Crono. [BTW...she's named Crono 'cause Mother Dearest wanted
another shot at raising a Crono...don't ask me why...she just did...and
neither Crono knew about their relation to each other...then again, after
the wedding, King Crono disregards his family and Lucca...] She has all of
the same techs as Crono(m), and they get some neat duel-techs when they
work together...Double Lightning, which combines the Lightning 2 from
both...Duel Lightning Strike, in which each casts lightning on the other's
blade, causing BIG damage...and (drum-roll, please).. Double-Team Luminaire,
which is a double-dose of Luminaire, causing HUGE damage. She only gets
one triple-tech, though...and that's with Lucas and Nicki...Delta Pyramid...a
MUCH stronger version of the Delta Force and Delta Storm...combined. All
in all, she's an awesome character. Crono(m)'s house is also Crono(f)'s house.

Name: Lucas
Age: 15
Sex: Male
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 184 lbs.
Weapon: Gun
Magic-Type: Fire

When you go to 1000 AD (as long as it's after the trial, you'll be fine), you
go into Crono(m)'s house...you go to the area wear the light is and search
around and you'll find a shiny thing...press that, and you hear something
above you. Go upstairs to the bedroom, and you see a passageway in the
wall directly in front of you. Walk through the passageway and you see a
girl who resembles Crono(m), only with dark brown hair and deep brown
eyes. Still, the resemblance is (to put it in Frog/Glenn's words) uncanny. You

and she just yawns very loudly and obviously, then looks over her shoulder
at the shadows, and, addressing the shadowed area, says, "Alright, you
two...you can come out now." And two more people come out, one male and
one female, and they look very much alike...actually, they also look a lot like
Lucca. The male is Lucas, and he is the future younger brother of Lucca, and
the girl is his twin sister Nicole, Nicki for short. So these three decide, what
the heck, why not join up with our time-traveling heros...after all...how else
are they to get home, right? So, anyway, Lucas has all of the techs of his
older sister, and he also has her great mind for creativity, invention, and
science. The twins were born just about a month after Crono(f), and the
three are best friends, and the best dare-devil-types around. Unlike his
older sister, Lucas does not have purple hair (talk about freaky), but, rather,
a so-deep-it's-almost-black brown shade for his hair and deep brown eyes.
He and Lucca have the duel-techs Double Fire (a double dose of Fire 2),
Bombing Raid (each throws the mega-bombs), and Double-Strike Flare (a
double-dose of flare). He and Nicki have duel-techs, as well, and they are
the same as the ones for Marle and Lucca, only stronger, and the same go
for his duel-techs with Crono(f)...same as Lucca and Crono(m), just stronger.
Those are his only combos for duel-tech, and his only combo for triple-tech
is with Crono(f) and Nicki, and it is Delta Pyramid, a MUCH stronger version
of Delta Force and Delta Storm combined. He's a great character to have.

Dota 2 is free to play with nothing but cosmetic changes which is how they fund tournaments and the creators of said cosmetics, which is literally the only correct implementation of that model. Gabe is God. Peace out

Just curious, besides them paying for venue and staff and equipment, flying people in, and giving 1 million to prize pool, what else should they do?
