Yay for confusing rules. Has anyone here actually used lockerdome? I've never heard of them.

People talk about QS like its a bad thing... There are some games that are designed for quick saving, like Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas. I dislike the idea that just losing a day's worth of progress because of a dodgy autosave system is the correct way to play a game. The system was put there...

I do agree with that. It is a rather popular thing to hate on EA. I just think that using the fact we're "gamers" as a reason isn't fair. It is, after all a thread about EA. I wouldn't go onto an EA thread and ***** about 2K in the same way I wouldn't ***** about 2K on a rockstar thread. At the...

Sometimes that is justified, though. I can't understand why it's apparently terrible to object to EA's business practices. Just because other companies have made bad choices too doesn't mean that EA should be above criticism, that's ludicrous. The reason that people get pissed off at EA is while...

Probably a PS3 an a Vita, but that depends on E3. I do kind of want a PS4 but they could have just as much stupid DRM as the Xbox one. The WiiU doesn't interest me (even though it should), and my 360 currently inst doing much...

The biggest thing that will make it up for me is immersion. A good narrative and characters with arcs will definitely help, but I got so immersed in Fallout: New Vegas that I was able to look past the graphics and the bugs (despite the fact that you have no character in the game and the story is...

In games, I like AR/SMGs, best ratio of power/accuracy/mobility for my play style But IRL, I love either a) bolt action rifle, a nice high powered one :P or b) The colt Peacemaker. That being said. I like weaponry in general

Don't tell me you've never been disappointed by something because you anticipated it being better than it actually was. I looked at Skyrim before release thinking 'this is going to be the best game in ages' and the information other gamers around me cemented that idea. But, through no fault...

I would tie Duke Nukem Forever with Skyrim. DNF because it was bad and made no apologies suit, and Skyrim because it was SO far hyped. That being said Skyrim isn't BAD, just couldn't live up to anywhere near the hype.

Communism: Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others :P And if you look at the way the Russians used to be, quite a remarkable amount more equal

Pretty much this. Capitalism brings about a more free consumer market, but socialistic principles allow for some services to the community as a whole. I like the Australian form of government (democratic socialist), but I wish they would put somebody responsible and intelligent in the race...

I think angry birds will probably be a fad, because unlike tetris it is sold on its 'coolness' and the fact that nearly everyone I know who has a smartphone has played at LEAST several hours of it stands testament. I think when a new game to contest the throne comes along, it won't necessarily...

I'm not sure it makes you an asshole as long as you apologise for it. People react in different ways to that sort of thing. But as Somonah said, I don't see why you can't just start a new toon and move on if that circumstance arises again. Itn't having multiple plays through the most fun part of...

Doom1 on disc, Wolfenstein 3D on disc, and spear of destiny on a floppy (only doom 1 runs on my PC now :( ) Edit: oops double post
