    Games you keep as your "dark little secret"

    Duke Nukem 3D. I can't get enough of the Duke Nukem camp, and the super fast-ness of Duke is fun, too. Is it so wrong that I'm also still waiting to be pleasantly surprised by DNF?

    Dungeon Crawlers

    Nethack. It'll give you a fear of most letters on your keyboard.

    A GMod Thread (Post Pictures, too!)

    I'm pretty sure I did. Chances are there's something completely obvious I missed because I was having too much fun moving their facial expressions.

    A GMod Thread (Post Pictures, too!)

    I actually cropped the HUD off the image with MSPaint. I didn't know the HUD would show up, actually, so it just ended being luck that I had room. Also, thanks. When I pose things I usually try to think about joints and things like that, like posing a mannequin. The engineer in blue actually...

    A GMod Thread (Post Pictures, too!)

    Anyone else a fan of Garry's Mod? Got any pictures? I thought I'd try and make a thread where people can show off their creations. Here's the first thing I've screen shotted from GMod, where it is apparent why Valve does not allow us to enter the other team's spawn. I couldn't get blood...

    Anime

    I think most of Japanese animation is derivative and unimaginative trash in general. But there is some good stuff out there. Studio Ghibli is practically Japan's Disney. Akira was memorable, and Golgo 13 was a gritty assassination thriller. Most of the rest is 'fanservice' crap, and to be...

    Should I fear Steam?

    Steam used to be rather intrusive, but as it is now it's fine. Also, no need to keep track of discs. Maybe it'll even phase out stores.

    Is TF2 Perfect?

    I have to agree that the Pyro does need a bit more firepower. His speed seems sufficient to me, and a good pyro ambushes. But an ambush means practically nothing against a solder who blasts his own feet with rockets and kills the pyro. A pyro who runs across a map to the enemy is asking for it...

    what do you think about super smash bros brawl?

    Glad to see they got rid of the glitching that was wavedashing and its ilk. I remember seeing people do it, and it fills the entire room with "CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK". That said, it looks excellent but seems overhyped to me. Also, anyone else surprised that they never put in Megaman?

    Is TF2 Perfect?

    On PC I have no issues with lag whatsoever. I suppose I made the right console choice? Anyway, I think soldiers seem a bit overpowered in close combat. I think one way to make them more balanced is to present a 'clear' range for their rockets. That is, they don't blow up right in front of you...

    Goldeneye (the movie not the game)

    Now that's not quite fair. I'm a big fan of Sean Connery's flicks, but Roger Moore's stuff is all too much camp for me. Dalton was...eh. Didn't really dislike his movies, but the atmosphere of the Connery movies was captivating with distinct and different plots. Though granted that Brosnan's...

    What new unit would you like to see in DoW?

    I remember hearing something about them not including the Tyranids because of the engine limitations. I like Khell's idea of Guard variety, which should bring some extra flavor to them.

    U.K. Government Endorses Wii For Physical Education Programs

    Why not just have them go running? Do their parents write in and say it's not fair for their child to be physically exerted? It seems to me that this will just encourage them to play the video games more and take away from actual activity in PE. How silly, it's almost as if the folks in...

    If You Could Make Your Own Game...

    Ah, Third Person and First Person would be adjustable options. Probably didn't make that clear enough. Gadgetry would be fun, but I'd probably like to limit it to safecrackers, smoke bombs, and things like that. Sleep gas seems a bit too James Bond-ish, but it would be a fun idea. Weaponry...

    If You Could Make Your Own Game...

    Sounds cool. Reminds me of a HL mod, Natural Selection and there was another game that's freeware right now. It has an RTS mode for the 'controller', and FPS for everyone else. You could be a human or a monster, two opposing sides who fight with different weapons/armor/powers combinations.
