Diablo 3. I enjoyed Torchlight, but found it rather easy (some of those alchemist skills were just ludicrously powerful), and a bit of a superficial experience overall. It was fun, but never sucked me in like Diablo 2 did over and over again. Realistically, I will probably end up getting...

Time for me to respond with an undoubtedly unpopular opinion: I don't give a shit. I know for a fact that whenever I go the the theatre, people all around my are texting. I don't do it myself because I'm generally far too immersed in the movie to bother. The reason I know is because some...

The emotional depth of anime (and JRPGS) is definitely what I find appealing about it. A lot of Western games feel sort of dull and superficial in comparison. But, a lot totally don't as well... I seem to be a bit weird in that I don't actively pursue a particular medium for my consumption of...

This is how the OP reads to me: My subjective preferences are right. If you disagree, you're wrong! I'm not convinced that was the intent, but that's how it came off. It isn't inconceivable that there are "chubby girls" out there that I would be attracted to. But, in general, that hasn't...

Didn't read all 6 pages. Ignore me if I'm repeating. I can understand both sides of the story here. But, one point I'd like to address: The friend-zoned guy ceasing all contact once the girl has made her lack of interest clear. To paraphrase a quote from Parks and Recreation: "You can't...

As a male with long hair, I definitely understand. I really like how I look with long hair, and really do hope I don't go bald. I don't care about going grey, though. I'd prefer if it went white instead of grey, though. That would look so badass. That said, if I do go bald, I have no...

I used to own a Micro-ATX case (the specific model escapes me... I bought it in 2006). I honestly wouldn't do it again. While nice and compact, it was such a pain in the ass to work on. Doing basically anything on the inside required pulling it completely apart. After that computer, I bought a...

Probably Unreal Tournament 3. It's a really great engine... great graphics and will run really well on pretty weak hardware. But, I really don't care about graphics anymore. All I ask is for HD resolution (720p and up), and that's basically impossible not to get in this day and age. I do...

Random things I've learned over the years: - Your budget is enormous and you don't need a mega machine for programming. An old Thinkpad would do you just fine for that. Just be honest: You want to play really pretty looking games ;) - Multiple GPUs seem to be more hassle than they're worth...

I wouldn't say I'd buy a system just to play one game. But, one game has on multiple occasions been the "straw that broke the camels back" for me. Most recent case was Gran Turismo 5... I'd decided quite early into the PS3's life to wait until that came out to get a PS3.

What site generates the most of those stupid, repetitive memes? I'd delete that site.

A tall, slender, well proportioned, dark blonde haired woman with great cheek bones and facial symmetry? AND my awesome personality? Hell yes. Edit: I have to expand on this. The more I think about it, the more I think it would rule. I know they say opposites attract and all that. But, if I...

Spiders definitely top the list. I'm not particularly fond of most arthropods, really. I mean, crabs are really just big-ass marine spiders, for instance. I'd love to live somewhere warmer, but I know that the increase in bug population wouldn't sit very well with me. Besides that, I'm...

Yeah, the sleep one. That would double my life. I'd get sooooo much more done! I could work a full time job and still have the vast majority of my day left to do whatever I want! I'm the sort of person who is usually tired. I need rather annoying amounts of sleep to feel good (about 10...

I was 11 when the Phantom Menace came out. Honestly, I loved it at the time, just like I loved the original trilogy. The entire series was essentially made for preteen boys. Though, even upon seeing them for the first time, episodes 2 and 3 were instantly counted among the worst movies I've ever...
