    Which Character have you leveled up that you're most attached to?

    Easily my first Dragon Age: Origins character. He just feels like how own character, the prologue origin laid the groundwork perfectly, and I was able to craft an actual character through his actions in the game. When I watch other people play that game, even when they choose the same race...

    Poll: Best Cinematic Spiderman?

    What you say is probably true, but the scene just works. Spider-Man is a New York superhero, to not include some patriotic feel-good fluff would have been inexcusable

    Poll: Best Cinematic Spiderman?

    The Amazing Spider-Man movies felt the most "real" to me. The acting in the Raimi ones was a little over the top where it felt like I was watching a play instead of a movie. Plus I think Andrew Garfield just nailed the character, he was charming, funny, and a bit of a goofball. And his...

    Bad/mediocre games with something amazing in them

    I really liked the war table missions in Dragon Age: inquisition. They were interesting, simple, and fun. You're presented with a problem, given three options to solve it (militarily, diplomatically, or with spies (espionagically?)), and then you wait and find out what happened later. I always...

    What are your obsessions?

    The big thing I'm into now is podcasts, since I don't have time to actually do things it's nice to be able to put one on while I drive or cool dinner or do dishes or work out or whatever. What I've really been geeking out over are actual play D&D podcasts. I started out with the Adventure Zone...

    Bad parts in great games.

    I loved the Fade mission in Dragon Age: Origins!! Until I finished the first section and realized it was 1 of 7! Plus you have to do them in a certain order or backtrack a lot, Christ I was thrilled when that was over

    Is professional wrestling the most powerful martial art?

    I saw a wrestler go to kick somebody and miss, but his opponent fell down anyway. So yeah, I think OP is correct

    Poll: Games vs Movies

    Movies are a hundred percent better, it's like playing a game except you don't have to do all that work, a bunch of conventionally attractive people do the punching and shooting and kissing and stuff! [That was a joke but my real answer is movies because movies have done multiple generes well...

    What is the easiest AAA game you've played since 2005?

    Sleeping Dogs melee combat is really easy, but it is also super fun! Just counter everything and you'll be fine. The funnest part is when you grapple people and bring them to a piece of the environment for an environmental takedown and those just never get old. I can watch people get clobbered...

    Dark Souls 2: SotFS (or therefore, "Baa-baa Black Sheep" and other musings thread)

    Does anybody know how to parry in this game?? I just came off of a no-shield run in Dark Souls 1 and am starting a no-shield run in Dark Souls 2 and I cannot figure out the timing for the life of me

    Ultimate console face off

    Switch obviously It's got Breath of the Wild, will have Dark Souls, and probably has some other games, too. I guess I could play those two games for the next 3 years and be satisfied, plus the thing is portable so if I want to take it somewhere or my significant other wants to watch TV, or...

    Game of Thrones question regarding the Wights/Zombies

    In one of the books one of the characters somehow tastes the melting wall and it is said to taste "salty". It's possible that the wall is simply made of salt water and that it's the salt that prevents the Wights from crossing the wall, and it's the salt water that prevents them from going into...

    Your best accidental successes?

    I accidentally fired my grenade launcher instead of my rifle while inside a building in Battlefield 3. Took down most of the building killing 2 enemies that I didn't know were there as I ran out of the building saying "shitshitshitshit" Did something similar recently in black ops ii and got...

    Superbowl 52

    Ehh, Prince was against "holograms" where they make it look like the person is right there with them like they did for Tupac a couple years ago. This was just a giant tv screen so he might have been okay with it I thought the halftime show was okay but I expected more from him. Feels like he...
