    Being an Adult Sucks

    Ditto. As an adult, I can drive to hang out with a friend in another town, do a kickboxing class a few hours later, and then drive to a mall to go shopping for games/clothes/stuff I like. I don't have to report to anyone, or ask anyone's permission to go out anywhere. I don't have to get dragged...

    Poll: Your favorite Megaman Series?

    I'd disagree. Mega Man 6 is way worse of a game than Mega Man 7. The difficulty is a complete joke, and they had that weird control setup where pressing jump while sliding would stop your movement instead of jumping. Mega Man 7 has at least a few decent boss weapons, a good challenge, (and I'm...

    Poll: Your favorite Megaman Series?

    Mega Man Zero. I liked 2's Chain Rod weapon. That, and his other weapons pretty much made Zero into a Jedi/Spider-Man/Captain America/Mega Man hybrid. The explosive buster upgrade from 3 was sweet. All of the games, especially 2 and 3, and maybe 1 not so much, had a kickass combination of...

    So what kind of weird food combination do you enjoy?

    I like to make hummus by mixing almonds and red lentils. And honey. And cinnamon. And bananas.

    The Case For Grinding in RPGs

    Grinding = boring. If I'm playing a video game, and it's not fun, I'm wasting my time. Games that have grinding should take a page from movies. There's a reason why movies have montages instead of showing every minute of a character training for some kind of mission, competition, etc. Imagine...

    The Sports Injury Thread

    I've had my share of injuries from Muay Thai. Pretty much all of my most serious injuries have been to the head. I've been knocked unconscious at least 5 times (2 of those were in my first amateur fight), but I've never been out for more than a second or two. I've also never had any permanent...

    Games that simply MUST be made

    A game like Dragon's Crown, except more balanced, with a Resident Evil 4-type item system. For example, instead of being relatively underpowered because your sword is kind of on the crappy side, and then ending up finding a Super Awesome Sword of Kickass that allows you to all of a sudden kill...

    Has gaming and the modern world reduced your attention span?

    I agree that there's way too many people who think that an increase in technological advancement is contributing to the downfall of humanity (EDIT: not that I'm saying anyone here thinks this). Multitasking is a major asset, and not only when it comes to electronic devices. To use a...

    Escapist's Day Jobs

    Looking for work as a personal trainer. Got turned down by the biggest gym where I live because, to paraphrase my interviewer, I'm a good personal trainer, but a shitty salesman. Helping people get into shape, I can do. Trying to push expensive training session packages on people who can't...

    Do we need more "holy" games ? Paladin LFG !

    I like the idea of a dude who fights FOR GREAT JUSTICE and bashes dudes in the face with a shield. I loved the Diablo 2 Paladin's Holy Freeze aura. The Cleric from Shadow Over Mystara was awesome too. His healing and blessing moves made him able to both dish out and take more damage than the...
