    What Really Bugged Me About Halo 4

    I always felt it should have been about the arbiter, he was a much stronger character than the chief and was still actively in the universe, maybe its that I'm more of an RPG fan but I just never got the obsession with the spartans in it, their primary interesting traits have been done to death...

    is youtube being a new form of weird for anyone else?

    My roommate is having the same trouble, interestingly the quality settings seem to be a symptom, or a cause, it keeps trying to re-adjust the quality then failing each one refuses to load, I'm split between hoping its localized and easy to fix and hoping it becomes a big problem so they would...

    is youtube being a new form of weird for anyone else?

    Starting about yesterday morning youtube video's are either loading incredibly slowly or not at all, its just youtube, no-where else has any new problems. I just thought I'd ask if anyone else was having trouble like this before I sent a complaint, just to be sure its not me

    What are your favourite attacks or upgrades in gaming?

    the brick from time-splitters 2 and FP, barely andy damage but an instakill with a head shot, so random yet so fun

    "Entitled gamers" starting to remind me of "frivolous lawsuits".

    Personally I think the problem doesn't even lay with just Microsoft, they thought they were Valve, as much as it seems off to say, but if Valve turned around and said "we're going to make it that steam can be activated through your webcam and so your webcam is always on due to that... watching...

    Poll: Xbone, kinect and privacy issues.

    its not so much about what they will do, or even if its Microsoft doing it, what worries people is that some-one could spy on them, the fact that there is a camera and always on microphone in their home would bother them, if there is ever a reason for me to have an Xbone then I'm removing the...

    What game settings would you NOT want to live in?

    Fallout, not when the games are based where people are rebuilding but days after the bombs fall, when its like hell on earth, add in that everyone you've ever known and loved is probably dead and everyone else is trying to kill you and I'd rather just step into the nuclear fire and be done with it

    What weird gaming habits do you have?

    if theres a swinging object (especially physics based) I immediately and repeatedly headbutt it. no idea why as I usually behave rather serious (I get more immersed in the story) but I have to headbutt physics objects

    Poll: Steam only gamers?

    not buying many new games at the moment due to saving money but basing my opinion on when I have a proper gaming PC rather than a laptop I'd still be wary of steam, they have great offers but I'm kind of worried of it collapsing and loads of peoples games being lost, not likely to happen soon...

    Why Do People Love The Dreamcast?

    Nostalgia goggles are a big element of it, alot of people here played it as kids and even if the games they played were crap (not calling all games for it crap) if their all you have available you almost make your own game up as a child, I know deep down that many of the games I have nostalgia...

    JonTron takes a hiatus from GameGrumps

    I used to watch them, and I hope it doesn't upset the balance of the show as I feel no malice towards them but to be fair, they should just start every new game they play with "this game was from our chldhood so we love it, if its not from our childhood its crap" and Jon's tendency to hate...

    Create your perfect RPG.

    Dark fantasy but not Witcher level, more like "the fairy tale grew up" level Lots of monsters, not just monster animals but real monsters that attack city's and various settlements, not always to kill but to capture the populace too (probably never going to happen but)Humans are not the...

    Gaming worlds you would want to live in

    Probably Mass Effect, Citadel, just because alien to human ratio would be low and I always wanted to meet an alien when I was a kid XD

    Why is Gordon Freeman held up as the zenith of silent protagonists?

    I'd actually say Jak from "Jak and Daxter" is a better silent protagonist, mainly due to the fact that he motions to talk but is interrupted often, then in the sequels, even after his silence was joked about ("for once in your life say something") he speaks and is no longer silent but remains a...
