    Your gaming weakness

    Landscapes. If a game has beautiful landscapes (and beautiful graphics in general), I get weak. If someone made a game called "exotic landscape explorer", I'd buy it, even if it was nothing other than walking. Also, strange creatures. Love them. Biologist in real life, and it shows when I'm...

    Daily Drop: Mashed Potatoes

    Were those even mashed? That looked more like some kind of dough.

    Your weapon of choice for a zombie apocolypse.

    Can I take an aircraft carrier?

    What is Love? Does it exist?

    24 years old, never felt any love. Don't think I will in the foreseeable future. Don't think ever had any close friends either. Got through life well enough. Can't miss what never existed. Don't really understand idea either. Seems silly.

    Poll: Circumcision - What is your opinion?

    Is that really an issue? I don't think I've ever met anyone who was circumcised.

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    True. However, as far as I know, none of the Daggerfall books are that expensive. Let's see a few more popular mods that aren't cheating... Fallout 3's current top six are: -Mod Manager. Makes applying mods easier. -Type 3 body. Immature, sure, but doesn't make you stronger. -Marten's...

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    Not necessarily. Some of the better books have ratios like 50/3, that's not bad.

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    Really? Look at the top 100 on Elder Scrolls Nexus. Few of those increase character power. Europa Barbarorum is so popular, Steam includes it in Rome by default. And books costing money? If you ever have money problems in an Elder Scrolls game, you are doing something wrong. There's tons of...

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    Adding things to a game does *not* make it automatically easier. How does Rome: Total War become easier when my segmentata armoured legionaries are replaced by more period appropriate slingers and unarmoured skirmishers? Why should the game be easier just because the Scythians are replaced by...

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    That's not what mods are. Look up Morrowind 2011 on youtube. Fans have updated a game from 2002 to look as good as a new one. For other games, there's new campaigns, new user interfaces, improved (harder) AIs... Europa Barbarorum is another great example. A mod for Rome: Total War that removes...

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    What hassle? I have a store-bought, off the shelf computer with most of the stuff I need pre-installed and most games run fine on it.

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    On the playing with mates thing: Speak for yourself. We generally have a blast playing Heroes of Might and Magic (3 or 5) with three to five people on one PC. Four people sit around, read comics or talk, one plays, change every five minutes.

    What's the big deal about PC games?

    Three things, mainly. First of all, I mainly play adventures, RPGs and strategy games. There's a lot more of those on the PC than elsewhere. Second, I can't handle controllers. Can't really get my head around how they work. Usually, I end up dropping them, or forgetting what the buttons do...

    Take a Ride to Skyrim on My Little Pony

    That should be a mod pretty soon.

    Poll: Do you watch anime?

    I took "like Anime , but dislike the rest." It's not just one series, I like a few, but most of what I've seen (which is probably the better part of anime, since I only try stuff several people have recommended) isn't to my liking. Especially if the anime applies what I call lazy animation...
