"You like Castlevania, don't you?"

The entire fight in general was pretty cool, but the little rant before that was rather spectacular. I thought it was an epic breakdown of the fourth wall.

I don't like Castlevania. The game is wrong.

Well, I do :C

EDIT: Also Mantis.



This scene made me lol. It was a refreshing juxtaposition as it happened near the middle of Act 5, after some intense fighting and a dramatic cutscene or two.

The detailed clothes tearing in the new Mortal Kombat game. It's beautiful.
Also, the gore. You've got to love the gore.

A long MGS3/4 spoiler-
After beating The Boss, during the cutscene where Snake's about to execute her with a shot to the head, you have to actually pull the trigger by hitting Square. I thought it was a nice little detail, mainly because it's almost like a representation of Snake's internal struggle throughout the game- technically, its your choice, but in the end, you have to do it, just like Snake has to follow orders despite the fact that he knows he's cleaning up the government's mess and sacrificing a friend in the process. Even better, in MGS4, before Big Boss dies, he alludes to this by saying, "Ever since the day I killed The Boss, with my own hands, I... was already dead.", after which he turns to The Boss' grave and says "It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others and believing in your own... Isn't that... what... you fought for? At last, I understand the meaning of what you did... At last, I understand the truth behind your courage.", then saluting the grave. Pansy that I am, I actually cried at this point.
Ended.

I don't know if I should laugh or be disturbed at the fact that baby Kratos has a beard.

Yet another PORTAL 2 SPOILER:
GLaDOS is Caroline. It isn't directly stated in the game, but there are many hints, such as GLaDOS somehow knowing Caroline, and how since Cave died, they put Caroline in charge, then, in Cave's words, "Dumped [Caroline's] intelligence into a computer". It also hints at it in the credits song.
It actually took me 2 playthroughs to figure this out.

EDIT: Turns out I'm stupid and it was stated outright several times.
