    Phrases that piss you off

    One thing that bug the hell out of me, and I catch myself doing it occasionally too which makes it all the more frustrating... I hate people who say: "I hate people who blank." So doing that blank suddenly makes them a horrible person and you can no longer stand them? This is especially...

    Most realistically good character in fiction

    Is Chie considered the most popular? Have there been polls on that? (don't answer that.) I would argue she wasn't near as good as you seem to think. Don't forget that her big secret was that she was abusing Yukiko and acting as a gatekeeper to the most attractive girl at the school just to make...

    Poll: Halo or Half-Life?

    Not sure why "Both" and "Other" are answers in this question, but whatever. I gotta go Half-Life, mainly because every Halo has let me down since Halo 1 (with the possible exception of Halo 4 which is awesome if you do it on Heroic with a bunch of difficulty skulls on. Much harder and way...

    Which games would you love to be able to play for the first time again?

    I'm amazed no one here has said Spec Ops: The Line. That game still gives me chills when I replay it, it's just so much better (worse?) when you do it the first time. I do have to agree with Portal, considering I've played it so much I'm memorized every puzzle. I kind of want to do Mass...

    Competitive Multiplayer Choices That you don't Respect

    My biggest problem is when people use the same character/loadout/strategy every single time they play the game. Regardless of how effective it is, it just annoys me going through the exact same thing every time. Yes, I know you like playing Shiek, I know she's not particularly OP, and I don't...

    Characters you hate that everyone loves

    I wouldn't say I hated Yosuke, but damn is he a dick. He was fine for the first third or so of the game, but once you end up on that camping trip he gets more and more perverted, starting when he gets the girls in bikinis that he bought. They did owe us for letting them sleep in our tent, but...

    How should I upgrade this PC?

    This was my first gaming PC, though it was never really top-of-the-line it is starting to struggle. The GPU's at the end of its life, newer drivers won't install, a couple games flat don't start at all, and a lot of games are forced to run on minimum settings. I am a computer science major, but...

    Persona 5: hopes for the game...

    Really? Yukiko and Rise aren't good enough for you but you're willing to go with Yosuke? He turns into such a pervert halfway through the game. It's really creepy... I'm actually just at the end of this game right now (I think). I had heard good things about it and got my PS2 working again...

    coding/programing- Where is a good place to start?

    I started with Visual Basic and I do feel that it is good for beginners. It's wordy nature makes it fairly clear what it's doing, while other languages use so many other symbols they can be hard to pick up. I have heard good things about Python and Perl, but I haven't tried either so I can't...

    Favourite Programming language?

    AS3 was alright, though it gets a lot of bonus points from me for being able to rotate images so easily. I still have nightmares from having to do that in Java... (Never did get that rotation perfect, damn AffineTransform)

    Favourite Programming language?

    I've done Visual Basic, HTML, JavaScript, Flash, Java, and C, with minor amounts in C++, PHP, and ASP (also GameMaker if that counts). My favorite is still kinda up in the air between Java and C++. Java is a bit more structured and (I feel) intuitive, but C++'s pointers are a big plus. Maybe if...

    How to make PC games properly: An open letter to developers

    I agree with most of what your saying, but these give me some pause. Quicksaving does not belong in all games. Things like Skyrim, Deus Ex, they benefit greatly from it. But there are plenty of games where it doesn't make sense. Roguelikes such as FTL obviously don't work not to mention...

    Poll: What's so bad about ME3's ending?

    I only actually played it a couple weeks ago though, so I guess I'm still in that "burn the witch!" period. It was definitely bad, but I don't think it quite deserved the level of hate it really got. Frankly I've seen much worse endings. The end of Assassin's Creed 3 nearly made me curse out the...

    Poll: Bioshock Infinite: A Very Specific Question about Morality and Choice

    I left those two as they were, they were no threat to me and were only really doing as they were told. Though that isn't to say I didn't want to put them down. Though, another point that made me feel like a complete asshole was in the slums (next to that bar with the guitar bit). There was...

    Your Epic Final Stands

    A couple memories spring to mind. None of them are "last stands" per se, but close enough I think. One was Halo: Reach. It was a 4v4 team deathmatch, where immediately the three on my team (I think they were a party) and one on the other team left. So it was 1v3 in their favor, but these guys...
