FF13 did not give me anything new. It gave me a game with great animations, horribly written characters, a confusing and poorly presented story, unengaging and repetitive combat, and extremely linear environments. It might have been trying something different from other Final Fantasy games, but...

Oh, get the fuck over it. So you think Half Life 2 is overrated. That's hardly an unpopular opinion.

I move my jaw up and down.

There's a good reason it's not selling well, namely that the original was crap.

I liked high school. I had good friends, near the end, I met my awesome girlfriend whom I don't get to see very often since I'm in college, and teachers treated students fairly. I'd like to return to those days. College, by contrast involves a lot of people getting drunk and kicking holes in the...

Every time I kill a mammoth in Skyrim since they gave me so much trouble the first time I hunted one with my warrior character.

I did an Orc-wolf character, and I didn't bat an eyelash, because I think we abandoned all sense of plausibility when dragons are attacking a land that contains bi-pedal lizard people and guys who shoot fireballs out of their hands.

I'm playing on the PC with an Xbox controller, and the menu occasionally doesn't register when I move the control stick left or right to access a menu, which does a pretty thorough job of breaking the flow when I want to drink a potion during a fight with a dragon.

Most people go with the Stormcloaks because the Imperial Legion tries to cut your head off at the beginning of the game. They're supposed to be the bad guys. It might be reasonable that they would assume I'm with the Stormcloaks, but even so, in that situation, I'd do everything in my power to...

I started a new game when I encountered a game-breaking glitch, so I'll answer with my second character. 1. I go on my merry way. Giants are massively strong. 2. Turn on oakflesh and start hurling fireballs with my right hand and firebolts with my left. 3. Use unrelenting force to...

My Orc warrior bears the name Karak gro-Malog. I though it sounded pretty cool.

When I'm told to 'man up' it's because multiple sources of stress are compounding and starting to affect me. And if I try to talk about it, then I'm told to stop being 'whiny'. Essentially they're telling me that I should either repress my emotions and be either stoic or falsely cheerful even...

To take my usual over-analytical approach, I would argue that cute and sexy are two manifestations of the same idea. In my experience, sexiness is cuteness without modesty, and that's a deal-breaker for me. My girlfriend is gorgeous, but she's also modest, and I love her for it. :)

I always love one-sided polls, especially options that insult you if you don't agree with the OP. Apparently if we don't vehemently hate science fiction and fantasy cliches, we are mentally twelve years old.

I'm not usually into strategy games, but the Total War series has always been quite engaging.
