    Quotes that you hate

    "There is no 'I' in team", to which I usually reply with one of the following: there's no 'U' either but there is a "U" in suck or I'm feeling particularly megalomanic: I spell win with a huge capital 'I'

    "5 Scariest Games" list in Toronto Sun

    What you need to realize is that nobody buys the Sun for it's journalism. Back when I was still taking English in school we were told that out of all the papers in the Greater Toronto Area, the Sun was the most poorly written one (the average article is written at the 6th grade level). Only...

    Shadow Of The Colossus: why it is so much praised?

    Not sure about everyone else's motivations but I personally loved it for being so innovative as to do away with all the tedious but pointless fights with 100's of copy-pasted lackeys. Every fight is a meaningful boss fight, many of them feel more like a really well thought out puzzle game. Makes...

    Question of the Day, October 12, 2010

    Well, they already had Doctor Donna in that temporary story arc so it would hardly be revolutionary. Having said that, I'd hate to see political correctness and marketing thugs break a long standing tradition. Plus it would make any potential reunion with Rose really awkward and confusing...

    What is THE greatest cartoon of all time?

    Hm, tough choice here. I can't narrow it down between Animaniacs, Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Tiny Toons and the original Scooby Doo.

    what animal do you hate the most?

    Pigeons... nature's flying poop dispensers.

    Bioware: FF13 is not an RPG

    Just because you don't make up the character yourself doesn't mean you aren't playing a role, so it still is an RPG. Next thing you'll be hearing is Bioware doesn't consider Shakespearean actors to be playing a role unless they wrote the character up themselves by rolling d20's. The whole thing...

    What Game Had The Best Overall Bosses?

    Either Metal Gear Solid 3 or Shadow of the Colossus, though I'm tempted to pick both and claim they're one uber game.

    Poll: Can males and females simply "just be friends"?

    Sure they can, provided both people are unattractive. As soon as someone's hot, there's the whole forbidden fruit angle to make things juicier.

    Your first RPG?

    The original Dragon Warrior. Sure it was boring as hell, but there wasn't anything like it before on the NES so I somehow got hooked all the same (plus my patience was infinitely more vast then). I went out and got me a copy of FF1 after that which was ever so much better and I haven't looked...

    Poll: Favorite/Best Metal Gear title? (fixed the poll)

    I started with the original MG on the NES eons ago and I found it boring and frustrating, glad they stuck with it though, the MGS titles are all pretty solid games. I'd have to say Snake Eater was by far my favorite though. I love the cold war era political intrigue, the retro charm of...

    Great games that will never be made

    Dino Crisis 3... a real one, done with the RE5 co-op mechanic if possible. Since horror survival games stopped being scary around 2001, and zombie games aren't using real zombies anymore, might as well go back to dinosaur hunting. I still have fond memories of running for my life and having a...

    Poll: Consoles should be FREE!!!!!!

    I fail to see how giving Konami an extra $10 per game is going to give incentive for Sony to develop the PS4 and give it away for free...

    Kojima Unhappy About Peace Walker Censorship

    I can't imagine a rating making much difference in sales at this point for the franchise. I mean, anyone who wants to buy an MGS title at this point pretty much already knows what to expect by now. Seems kinda silly really, the kiddies will always end up finding a way to buy it anyway. Having...
