    Have you ever knowingly bought a game that was "average"

    I'd have to say Alpha Protocol, too. I am too much of a Bond and RPG fan to pass it up. It got better, but some aspects just broke all tension or immersion.

    My DnD group!

    As a DM, I know that if my players talk to me about things like this, I'll try to make it work. If your friend-DM would be open to talking about a few interesting variations to your character, try these: 1) The voices in your head are actually your character. The dwarf was some ancient spirit...

    Dungeons and Dragons: Never Split the Party Contest Now Live!

    My gaming group should be considered because I am the director of my university's gaming club. Many of our members enjoy playing D&D and other role-playing games, but cannot afford to acquire source material and other things necessary for play. Should I win, I would give the material to Gaming...

    Which 40K race do you side with?

    For the Greater Good! The Tau will let you acknowledge your wrongdoings and let you join them. After years of re-education, you might just be a productive member of the society. And, tech is where any army is at--range, stealth, and ambush are all great ways to play a game.

    Whats your "BOOM HEADSHOT!!"??

    Poll: Cherry Dr. Pepper

    Apparently people like their Dr.Pepper cold. Now I know that I'm a freak of nature even amongst a community similar to me.

    (Surprisingly) some of the best games you have ever played.

    I would have to choose Dynamite Headdy for the SEGA Genesis. Incredibly hard, incredibly disjointed storyline, incredibly fun.

    Beauty in Gray

    I know the feeling. After hiking up Pike's Peak and finding the summit house, looking across the panorama was an experience I'd trade for nothing.

    Mom turns kid's Xbox off, gets taco thrown in face

    In all honesty, why would someone even consider assaulting another human over a video game? Is a game so important that you would risk going to jail?

    Yahtzee (not a fan of video games)

    I believe that Yahtzee realizes his views conflict with that of the norm, but that is what makes his show enjoyable. Zero Punctuation has led me to carefully analyse what I play and why I play it, and I have found that far too many games are "Gun Metal Shootout Slapfight Kill Arena XXXVII". I...
