I personally think, that like a lot of things that seem to attract outrage in the gaming community, the use of different protagonists is like the use of cutscenes. You can use them well, and you can make them awesome and gel really well - Or they'll stand out as shoehorned in for the sake of...

A damn hard choice. Damn hard. Half-Life/Team Fortress/Counter-Strike From all technicality, this is a subrace of the Quake line. Team Fortress started as a Quake mod, Half-Life was built on the Quake II engine, and of course Counter-Strike was built on Half-Life. However, the modifications...

I think in order: - Scorched Earth - X-Wing - Commander Keen - Star Wars: Dark Forces (I still hold this game as really damn good, the first full CD game I ever got)

First up, I'm a huge fan of chiptunes and VGM in general, so my list might be a bit biased. Here goes however: famousninja's Top 8 VGM themes (One game per franchise, all pre Windows '95. So no PSX either) 8: Skyroads - Intro (Blue Moon, PC) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7yCVHni7uI...

Alrighty. One line here to anyone here saying smokers should be denied due to 'self harm' If someone deliberately cuts themselves, or attempts to take their life, should you deny them health care because they harmed themselves? No! you'd treat the poor sods. Smoking is no different, and to...

I belong to the sterotype of someone who thinks that they're so individual that they don't fit into any stereotype, when really they're just as boring as a vanilla sponge.

OT: The main reason why there's so much hatred toward 'upbeat' music is the fact that it shows you squishy bags of meat that you might have some frailties, some weaknesses, when exposed to overtly happy and dare I say, 'upbeat' music, most people let their guard down, become more relaxed...

Going through my library I dug up these gems (It's a long one, and I cut it down. This is the smallest list I could come up with): A Perfect Circle - The Fiddle and the Drum (eMotive) Aphex Twin - Beetles (Richard D. James Album) Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy (Trans Canada Highway)...

Bioware takes the cake for characters I initially are cold towards, but have the full amount of motivations behind it, making them a fully likeable character. Morrigan was a good one from DAO, I never saw her as an 'evil' character, just someone without the social graces, Leliana was another...

Personally, the male Shepard sounds like a wooden board. I actually can't play the game with maleshep, all because he sounds like a dry, emotionless computer. There's also something else I'd like to point out here in most games involving customisation: Why is it, that every god damn male...

You're asking for trouble here. Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omnicient Grand Magus - Wolf's Return All That Remains - The Fall of Ideals Shadows Fall - The War Within Symphony X - Paradise Lost Tim McMillan - Afterparty Uncle Chunk - Join The Dots Opeth -...

I'm amazed at how god damn uppity you guys get if someone even mentions sport here, were most of you beaten up in high school and had your head stuffed in various unsanitary locations? Besides, Cricket, like Rugby Union, and Soccer are all defensive games, you call it boring, but it sure...

I want the ability to transport someone to a very awkward situation

The fact that only one of you pointed out N+ surprises me. N (and all the upgraded versions) is by far one of the most fun, yet completely and utterly frustratingly satisfying games on the market. Go with that, no stylus needed.
