    Favourite 'Blow off steam' game

    I second this. Also, there's nothing quite as soothing as playing 'Mr Blue Sky' while beating up people in Arkham Asylum (along with a multitude of ill-fitting songs).

    Xbox One Exclusive Ryse Will Feature Microtransactions

    So they're aiming to reward gamers based on how much cash they can convince mummy to pay from the credit card or those that happen to be richer? I realise it's on a rather small scale here, but the trends this could set for AAA games worries me. I can almost hear it: "Ha you poor noob...

    FLASH GAMES!

    Oh God, I just remembered that. The ending was stunning. OT: Road of the Dead is great fun: You drive down a highway to escape the military and zombies, running over several in the process. No other game has quite given me that feeling of bailing out of a place and running for my life. Only...

    What's going to be the next big enemy in games?

    Should be ants. Think of the potential survival-horror applications it could have. God knows we need some more good ones. Could work off the old chestnut of nuclear radiation or some weird ooze, then the ants start to mutate in various ways. Some become much smarter, have some grow bigger...

    If you could bring any setting to the real world?

    I'd love to go to Rapture, even with all the sploicers running around and plasmids to soup up on (providing I can be like Jack Ryan and use them without crippling insanity). I'd probably spend most of my time in Arcadia. If not Rapture, then probably the world of Chrono Trigger with the time...

    PC Gaming Help for a Total Newbie

    Just for the heck of it I'll post what I've got and maybe post some recommendations about what to make better. CPU: i5 3570 (models ending with K are made for overclocking, if you're not doing that don't worry about a K model) Ram: 8GB of DDR3. GPU: Asus gtx 560. Definitely go for a 600...

    Your Self-Imposed Gaming Challenges

    Batman Arkham City: No leveling up. You never fully appreciate critical strikes until you're halfway through the campaign without them.

    Games which, for you, define 'replay value'

    Resident Evil 4. I lost count of how many times I played through it. The game can be a sastisfying challenge, and then you can buy the Typewriter and utterly annihilate everything in your way. Super Metroid is a lot of fun to go through multiple times. I ashamed to admit I still haven't got...

    How did you find the Escapist?

    Explosm pointed me towards ZP. Moviebob drew me in further. I started getting bored for a while until Jim Sterling turned up. I'm so glad he improved on his first few episodes; turning a horrible start into an awesome asset for this site is no mean feat.

    I want more reviews/analysis/let's plays of terrible media

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/lb_i.php?lb_id=13373815860B43920100 A thorough dissection of Metroid Other M's story. He originally doesn't comment on gameplay but does at the end. Issues explored include PTSD relating to Samus' breakdown, sexism, and Samus having parts of the game stolen from...

    Your Berserk Button

    Abusing animals for fun really gets to me. It doesn't always have to be overt though, deliberate neglect is just as bad. Drivers that harass others on the road. It's worst when the aggressive driver is the one doing the wrong thing like speeding or being erratic, since some of them think...

    Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Countdown Website?

    Just refreshed the page now, it's a troll dancing to rock music. Nothing to see here folks, move along.

    Half-Life 2: Episode 3 Countdown Website?

    Pretty sure it's fake. Personally I'm waiting for news on Source 2. They probably wouldn't release Episode 3 or whatever until they do.

    Your favorite Weapons in Gaming

    Pulse Rifle from Half Life 2. Nothing says 'POWER' more than the sound of that thing firing.

    Cooking disaster

    I'm trying to remember if I ever cooked anything right in Home Ec. classes at school. Nothing is coming to mind. I either left something switched off, overcooked something or forgot some ingredients altogether. I actually preferred the sewing classes.
