    Things you secretly like?

    PnP RPG's. And some of the songs that I listen to, and the fact that I know next to nothing about music, to the point where people get me band shirts, and I can't wear them for fear of being asked stuff about the band, any band.

    Can someone explain half-life to me?

    Admittedly I haven't gotten very far in HL 1 (read ~1/2 hr.), but it seemed like it was going to be a great game, so when I bought the orange box, I was excited about HL... right after Portal, and TF2. When I finally got around to it (after reading the plot to HL 1) it was, in my opinion...

    Poll: Level caps

    I think the Final Fantasy series did things right. You could get up to a ridiculous level, where the game was no challenge, and you were uber, but it wasn't necessary for the main plotline. People who never wanted to grind to a high level didn't really need to; and those who wanted better...

    Games you've wanted for years before finaly getting them and finding out they're actually just shit.

    Final Fantasy Tactics: Advanced After I beat FF:T, and loving every sencond of it, I was awestruck at the prospect of a sequal. Little did I know that after waiting for nearly a year to purchase it, I was to be sorely disappointed. I've a friend that loved it, and hasn't played the original...

    Poll: A question involving glitch exploitation.

    And that's what it boils down to. In single player games there's really no such thing as "cheating", it's just messing with game parameters. But in multiplayer, where it's not just you that's playing, it changes things. In L4D there was a glitch that allowed players to skip a crescendo event (a...

    Gears of War 2 or 1.5?

    Gears 2, from what I've seen, is exactly what a sequal should be, improving upon the original without changing the formula too much. My biggest problem with the Halo series, for instance, is that there are some things I like from 1 that didn't make it to 2, and things they did right in 2 that...

    Poll: Which internet browser do you use the most?

    I use opera, but I've got nothing against Chrome, they're both fantastic browsers. However, FF is to Opera what IE is to FF.

    Games that hit you emotionally

    Spoilers FF X to follow... Did FF X really hit people that hard? For me it was one of those "crap, betrayed by the church... damn yunalesca is hard, she's so sure, but she's wrong." Not much more, I knew who the incarnation of sin was some 45 mins into it, so that wasn't big, zanarkand wasn't...

    Poll: What difficulty level do you play on (first playthrough)?

    depends on length and type of game, if it's a long game (>20 hrs, judged) I'll set it at normal (esp if FF games, those are about the storyline) but shorter (<12, most FPS's) I'll put it at hard, big name titles, which tend to have more levels of difficulty I'll ramp it to hardest, and decide if...

    Sarah Palin's e-mail hacked

    I have conservapedia bookmarked, it's the funniest thing I've ever seen, better than anything in either ED or uncyclopedia, even better than cracked.com (because it's better in a list!)

    Games that hit you emotionally

    Shadow of the Collosus, though I've never beaten it, seing some of the giants, anthrpomorphic error gets the best of me. FF IX, first one I beat, had to re-play it, cause I was stuck at kuja (first real rpg, had no idea what I was doing), felt so good for them at the end. Mass Effect, though I...
