    Have you ever refused to play because of crappy controls?

    Oh god yes I have. I'm picky about controls. And if they're not properly responsive and logical, it gets old very fast. It's the main reason I stay away from motion controls. Though I will deal with bad controls if the storytelling or gameplay is extremely good.

    Poll: Can You Do That Thing Where You Raise One Eyebrow But Not The Other?

    I can, but for some reason I can only really raise the left eyebrow and have to furrow the right one.

    Poll: Character customisation: Do you usually make stupid looking characters?

    Sometimes, though really not often. I find the customization takes way too much time and no one is likely to even see it anyway. I usually stick with the default (or something close to it) and maybe change hair color/style.

    Poll: Do you care about nutritional value of food or you just eat whatever you want guys?

    Well, I am trying to lose some weight so I'm moderately conscientious about what I eat. I've taken a lot of the sugar out of my diet. Though I haven't absolutely forlorn anything. Moderation is key, as they say, so if I eat anything particularly bad I just work a little harder later. I figure it...

    You're going where?!

    I've always wanted to go to Germany. Or the Netherlands. Italy, France, and the UK would also be awesome to revisit, but I'd rather go somewhere new. I've also been thinking that maybe in college, or afterwards, I might go to Vietnam or Thailand. And actually I'm going on a school trip to Costa...

    In your opinion, what's the most overrated video game ever?

    I LOVE the Sly Cooper series. Though I completely see why you might consider it far from perfect. It has its issues. HD collection destroyed all the fun in the Mz. Ruby fight, too. So damn difficult when it gets out of sync. As for the OT, I'd have to say I'd agree with you on God of War III and...

    Poll: Lets pretend the government passes a law stating that you can't have a gun anymore...

    I see there being a lot of riots, and a lot of deaths, unfortunately. Peronally, I would try to hide my guns, but if they got taken anyway I wouldn't resist in any illegal manner. Instead I'd either: A) Wait for the Supreme Court to strike down the law (because it's blatantly unconstitutional)...

    Poll: Are you excited for the next gen consoles ?

    You know, I'm not all that excited. I'm excited to see where the medium goes, but I've slowly been making the shift to PC over the last year and a half. I'll probably get one of the consoles at some point. Maybe. Possibly.

    Villains that really successfully made you HATE them

    Calvin Candie from Django Unchained. Started off likable in spite of himself and slowly showed himself to be an abhorrent, absolutely disgusting human being.

    Why dishonered is the best game that will ever be made

    Once in Skyrim I was running along through the vast wilderness when a dragon attacked me. Just as I got ready to fight him, I noticed he seemed to be flying a little low. He did a low pass behind a hill but it looked like he hit the ground unintentionally. Before I had time to do anything else...

    Puerto Ricans voted to join the Union

    My god, that is the exact plan I came up with in class today! Seriously though, I'd love to see a 51st state. Territories always seemed a strange thing for a 21st Century nation to have to me anyway.

    Games that make you lose track of time.

    Not too many games do that for me. Pokemon Silver used to, when I was younger. No games really do that for me anymore. It's probably because at some point I picked up the habit of checking the clock every five minutes.

    The single most destructive phrase...

    Wait people say that and mean it seriously? As for phrases, most that annoy me have already been said, but how about "Twilight sucks" or any jokes related to Twilight. Same goes for Justin Bieber. I don't like either of those things by any stretch, I'm just sick of those jokes. They stopped...

    White People are... Better?

    If you're curious about this subject, I'd recommend Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. Fascinating read. It'll answer your question.

    Calling all single people, what are you doing to survive the 14th?

    Well, I have to work my restaurant job that night, so I'll be simultaneously distracted and constantly reminded of Valentine's Day. It's all gonna be okay though; good tips that night! :D
