    #011: The Test

    It's "ordnance". Ordinance is a set of instructions, which is what they're getting before the good kind of ordnance. Presumably they're also skipping the intensive, 5-hour "this is how you crouch" seminar?

    Are We Entering The New PC Golden Age?

    Battlefield 4 and MGS 5 were the only two reasons I was ever considering a PS4. The guys I played Battlefield 3 with aren't getting BF4 as it was crappy and broken at launch, and it's taken them so long to fix it that it's not worth it. Now that Phantom Pain is getting a PC release I have...

    Just figured out why I like Fallout 3 more than New Vegas

    Wow. That actually works. New Vegas follows much more sensibly as a sequel to FO1&2 than FO3 does, thematically and geographically. Fallout 3 had to "revive" the series and likely wouldn't have had the same impact with the name Fallout: DC, even though it's a kick ass name. I may have to start...

    Ideas To Improve Next Elder Scrolls Melee Combat

    Now that ZeniMax own id Software, would it be too much of a stretch to incorporate the hit detection system from Rage? Add that to the Fallout limb damage and it sounds like you've got a winner. As for the stealth hit/retreat/hide/repeat gamebreaker, take a leaf out of Metal Gear Solid's book...

    Realistic Graphics Are Broken

    There was a part in the Godfather game for the first Xbox, where you have to take Michael Corleone to his meeting with Sollozzo in the diner. The cutscene reworks the movie scene where Michael excuses himself during the meal, goes to the bathroom and takes the gun that the player character...

    The Best Big YouTubers.

    Came here to post this. Will add 666theheartless666 to the list as his LPs are such a refreshing antidote to the legions of shouty, hyperactive, swearing-and-rape-jokes LPs out there.

    Bagless Vacuum Inventor Wants More Engineers, Less Game Devs

    I'm sorry, but it's "fewer" game devs. Dyson wants fewer game devs, not less. It seems like the author's grammar... *sunglasses* ... sucks. YEEAAHHAHHHHHH

    game endings you loved that everyone else hated

    Condemned. If you refuse to shoot SKX in the face as he's tied up in the trunk of the car you're rescued by, and stick to the principles of justice and law that any good police officer should stick to, he pulls out a gun from nowhere and caps himself. Didn't see that coming, but I really liked it.

    Define "A Well Writen Gay Character" in Gaming.

    Arcade Gannon from Fallout: New Vegas. Like Veronica, his sexuality is just a facet of his character, like he wears glasses or speaks Latin. The only reason you know is because he mentions it once in a piece of incidental dialogue; it's not like there's a big song and dance about it or anything...

    You first "**** This" Moment in Gaming

    Star Wars Force Unleashed. After killing the first Junk Titan, you have to push... something to continue. After trying and failing around twenty times I decided not to play it anymore and instead use it as a bookend. Other than the part as Vader, it was just irritating.

    To all you Non American English speaking people out there

    The villagers in the first Fable were ALL from Birmingham. And that accent oozes disappointment.

    Ever feel sorry for the enemies you've killed in a game?

    You can simply Or be evil.

    Uncharted 3 Can Be Beaten in Three Hours

    Phew. For a moment I thought you were being deadly serious, which, let's face it, is not outside the realms of possibility here. Damn I wish there was an easier way to express sarcasm through text that isn't the word [sarcasm] round posts.

    You could not have missed the point any more than this.
