    Portal Guns and Street Fights Just Don't Mix

    I'd play the hell out of Capcom vs Valve. Heavy fighting Zangief (outside of MUGEN) would be the best thing to happen to fighting games ever!

    Last Game you Beat - Good? Bad? Why?

    Though it is a mod, I'd say this is long enough to call a game. Nehrim, the total overhall for Oblivion, took me over 50 hours to beat, and it was amazing. The lack of level scaling and the gameplay balances that were included in it made it so much more enjoyable than standard Oblivion had...

    PC GOTY to this point?

    On the indie front, Terraria is looking good for GotY. Action-rpg with a Minecrafteque grid world, I've lost more time in it than any AAA game of late.

    Should women be able to fight on the frontlines?

    This is an idea caused by the environment in which people are raised. This can be countered in the long term by changing societal norms and, in the short term, by desensitizing soldiers to situations like this. If a soldier in this situation runs out of cover to try to drag this person to...

    What's the best-looking animated show/movie (in your opinion)?

    I can think of two from the last year. For choreography, Infinite Stratos definitely springs to mind. The non-battle parts of it are fairly standard, but the battles are amazingly well done, as well as the battle-suit and on-board GUI designs. Skip to about 35 seconds if you want...

    What's the best Free Game

    Try out Cave Story! It's a beautiful and challenging platformer made by one guy a few years back. Highly recommended. Oh yeah, it also has the best soundtrack I've ever seen from a game, exception maybe for the Guilty Gear series.

    Compare 1950's Disney cartoon with contemporary methods

    http://www.cracked.com/article_19021_5-amazing-things-invented-by-donald-duck-seriously_p2.html Scroll down a bit to #1. Tezuka was influenced by Scrooge McDuck. You can thank the Donald family for manga. I have no idea if this is relevant to your topic, since you don't have too much of...

    Why do you post?

    I have started writing many comments before stopping and closing the tab. I'll be halfway through the comment, and I'll ask myself, "Why am I typing this?" And really, why do any of you care to respond to anything? Previously, I posted semi-actively. I commented, flamed, and pondered with...

    Razer Switchblade

    It looks amazing. Sure, the tech probably isn't messianic, but the tiny size of it and unique keyboard definitely interest me. It's probably gonna be really expensive on release, but every new piece of technology always is. Also, for those who may be wondering how the keyboard does that...

    Artist Spends Thousands on 7-Foot Pen to Create Giant Art

    Why so negative? The guy's doing something he loves and got a bunch of people to support him in doing it. Who are you to denounce him for doing something unique and interesting; It's art, which isn't always about being 20% more efficient than those around you.

    Atmospheric Indie Creator Lighting Up NightSky

    Knytt Stories included a very user friendly level editor. I hope he opts to include one in NightSky, since half the re-playability was just in trying out other level sets and making your own.

    Your top 3 favorite single-player games.

    The three best single player games of all time. That's a difficult question, but I'll give it a go. <color=red>Kingdom Hearts 2 Where to even begin for KH2? The stunning variety of worlds and characters? The superb combat system? The customization and plotline? This game had it all, and...

    What's Wrong with Xbox Live?

    I'll break this answer into two parts, for both questions you asked. 1) Who would pay for servers? A lot of people, in fact! $20, while not insignificant, is not much money to host a social network over which you are basically God. It is your server, no one else's. You can do whatever you...

    What's Wrong with Xbox Live?

    I find it disappointing that there exist people who believe moderation by Microsoft in any major form is positive. You do not need Microsoft's help or assistance if you had dedicated servers. Make games work using the same general system of Left 4 Dead 2 for the PC. You have a "Quick Game"...
