    How Your Mind Screws with You in Games Like Diablo

    I've seen a lot of these pop up when I played WoW, and I have one short anecdote in particular about this. During Wrath of the Lich King I used to raid a bit and was making jokes before the raid about influencing your chances at a drop. I suggested sacrificing a gnome to the RNG gods and our...

    Your biggest rage quit?

    quite recently when playing XCOM: Enemy Within. Doing a otherwise completely standard mission when it very quickly becomes clear that my entire squad had thrown an all-night kegger to celebrate not being dead. They run into a few mutons and a mechtoid, which they've dealt with dozens of times at...

    One Million Moms Fights Gay Superheroes

    sweet mercy, are these people attempting to knock PETA of the throne for silliest activists? I wonder what'll be next, perchance a game involving catching the gay?

    "You're screwed" moments

    playing the GW2 beta I stumble into a new camp o friendly charr when I notice there's an event going on. The Flame Legion is attacking the very base I just entered. Looking around I see maybe one or two of them and no allies, so I figure all I had to do was shoot them to save the day. Then I...

    Games that ramped up difficulty and dang near destroyed the experience

    Titan Quest playing through the original campaign I became more and more of an unstoppable force, butchering everything that crossed my blades. That is, until I met the final boss: Typhon. This guy hits for roughly half your health bar and has a barrage of special attacks, every single one of...

    WATCH OUT! WE GOT A BADASS OVER HERE!

    oneshotting just about anything with a Gauss Rifle in Fallout: New Vegas. Nothing quite says badass to me as being able to make all of a super mutant's parts fly off in different directions in a single earthshattering blow.

    PETA: Mario is Pro Fur

    oh PETA, you so silly... I'm not sure what to laugh at harder here anymore. Inviting the nintendo lawyers over to rip their little game to pieces, being a mere 20 years late with this revelation or possibly PETA still living under the delusion that there is someone on this planet who takes...

    PETA Dumps on Battlefield 3

    oh peta, you so silly... If they get their panties in a bunch over a single rat, I wonder what will happen when they see some of the automated slaughterhouses people have constructed in minecraft.

    The Setting Of The Last Game You Were In Is Your New Home

    You are the last human on Earth. What now?

    a slow descent into a gun-fueled madness.

    What was your first Minecraft home like?

    a natural cave entrance with a door slapped in it. Was lucky enough to come across a single bit of coal, so I sat in there with four torches, occasionally peeking out to see if the night had gone away yet. Ended up expanding the interior, adding ring-shaped floors and replacing most of the...

    You are going to be killed by the last weapon you used in a game. How are you feeling?

    Arathar, the eye of flame. this'll sting very very briefly

    Worst. Weapon. Ever.

    the .32 pistol from fallout 3. A pistol so bad, your starter pistol is actually better.

    Aliens are invading and you are armed with the last weapon you used in a video game.

    a TF2 minigun. Yes, that'll do nicely...

    What does it take to kill a death claw?

    Gauss Rifle, sneak up on em and a single shot between the eyes. Even nails the pair o really big deathclaws roaming in the quarry. Failing that, something accurate (laser rifle or something of that calibre) and shoot the legs to slow it and kite it until dead. If that's not an option, run and pray.
