I got boundary manipulation, the ability to control limitless power via the control of material, metaphysical, and conceptual borders. This power extends to allow for immortality, omniscience, omnipotence, super strength, time travel, matter manipulation, and reality warping. If this is a...

20 years old and still untouched by womankind. The galling thing about it is that I've got a lot of female friends my age, but every one of them I've asked out has wanted to remain most emphatically "just" friends. I have found this quite galling, but after reading this thread and seeing how...

Considering that the entire basis of this game is to skillfully murder people, I'd stay that person at IGN has their wires crossed. Also, considering that some of Agent 47's previous missions have involved obese butchers at fetish parties, porn barons at christmas shindigs, and anarchists in...

Although one thing that can be said without spoiling two much is the way the story humanises the people that you spend your whole time plugging bullets at, rather than just making everyone mindless foot soldiers for you to plough your way through, and two of the main villains in particular. By...

And in a single webcomic, all the problems with my lovelife (Or rather, lack thereof) are made clear. Farewell internet!! Oh tormentor of mine, assuaging my anger at a lack of a love life whilst conspiring to ensure I would never have one!! More on subject, if I were lucky enough to be the...

I understand where he's coming from, but I think he needs to take a broader aspect. Run-gun-fun games can make you experience stimulating emotions, as well as a few other aspects. For example, take one of the best zombie shooter time-wasters out there, Left 4 Dead 2. In its inital layout, the...

I did enjoy "I Am Alive" more than I thought I would after the will-sappingly long wait for the bloody thing to actually come out, and in contrast to the resiliance of the "I'll die after one last smoke" character, I found a woman trapped in a sewer tunnel who needed 2 helpings of tinned food to...

Okay, three points; 1. Scary guy is actually awesome as hell. He came and did an assembly at my secondary school about 5 years ago, and yeah at first we thought the teachers had finally lost patience and were going to have us all killed, but he is a really cool guy. His challenge whenever he...

I'm approaching the 21st year of my life and still haven't got any. As such, this is the reason I'm sure my sanity is slipping inexorably away. As I have decided from extensive *COUGH* internet research on the subject, I'm a bit of a sadist/dominator, and a distinct lack of anyone to hit or...

Warning: exposure to berks who propose legislation like this may result in violent behaviour being enacted on their person for not having the mental capacity of a heavily anaethatised goldfish. To pick up on an interseting point made by a couple of other Escapists, in a few decades time the...

I've noticed in a couple of Yahtzees review videos that he seems to have a conflicting opinion of fan feedback on game franchises. In his review of the Thief series he praises the developers for cutting out the zombie/monster killing aspects and refocusing it on the games strongest feature, it's...

I think that makes you that assassin in the shades from the end of "Scarface", doesn't it? :D

Personally, I'll lay my hands on the first machine gun I find, and only put it down when I run out of ammunition for it. As much as I like a machine gun for its' practical capabilities, namely the ability to deal with anything from infantry to light vehicles to light aircraft, and it's...

From some of the earlier playthroughs, it looks like they were keeping that up quite well, but sort of juxtaposing it against a society rigidly adhereing to, or being terrorised into, a facade of "The Perfect America". In one of the parts I've seen, you hear a church bell tolling in the...

Damnit. Ninja'd. But picking up that this is designed to be one of a pantheon of the "Heavy Hitter" class, I'm very much looking forward to the other designs they will hopefully be showing us before too much longer. More robotic presidents would be cool, but I'm just waiting to see them thinking...
