    Worst gaming sequels?

    My top three most disappointing sequels. Nuts & Bolts. Fantastic vehicle based creativity toy. But it is not, in any way, the Banjo and Kazooie 3 I was promised. Lightning Returns. As someone who ADORES the first two... that combat engine change....HOLY MOTHER OF GOD the schema system is a...

    Poll: A question for all Wii U owners and fans of Nintendo

    For my library? Not in the slightest. As a sign to other developers that "hardcore" games cannot sell on the WiiU? Absolutley.

    Local foods

    Live in the Okanagan valley, it's almost made entirely of orchard. Apples, cherries, plums, peaches, apricots, and grapes. (Ice)Wine, cider, and coolers for obvious reasons.

    Mass Effect society are a bunch of dicks

    To quote Avenue Q, "Everyone's a little bit racist." and if they die so do you.

    Would you consider using any guide as cheating?

    "Am I not entitled to the content I purchased?" I say that to people mocking easy difficulties as well. I'm stuck in a puzzle, encounter, boss, missing the plot item that was to the left path when the story told me to go right... B.S. like that. So, no. Not cheating in the slightest as long it...

    Best final fantasy after 8?

    Eh, whatever dude. I said I liked a game and compared it to another where the set pieces come suspiciously beat for beat with each other, similar combat gameplay, and emphasis on inter party character dynamics over any "organic" gameplay. You went after me like I threatened to kill your pet. I...

    Best final fantasy after 8?

    Okay, in no particular order.... Plot is inconsequential compared to character development and JACK is explained properly in both games until act 3. Villain reveal at exactly 2/3 through. 1st act is all setup and the worst part of both games. Ice queen becomes mother figure that...

    Best final fantasy after 8?

    XIII. It's a shiny Persona 3. Identical characters going through identical character development and near identical game play. Linear dungeon crawl broken up with cutscenes of character interaction.

    Holy Shit That Was Bleak, I Love It

    An anime called "Bokurano". Quite possibly my favourite anime ever, the manga is bleaker.

    how many students do we have here?

    2nd year university, looking at Political Science as my major in September. 3-4 courses at a time to keep tuition bills low-ish and not cause total essay overload. Working 30+ hour s a week too. I'm trying to get through this without a loan if possible. Federal/Provincial education subsidies...

    How would you improve a Pokemon game mechanic?

    Getting rid of HM's and Trade Evolution and exclusive legendaries. I should never need another player to level MY team member and I may or may not get it back. Common version exclusives are fine though. That's a whole Pokemon you're trading. Catch two, trade one for its opposite on GTA and call...

    Pet peeves that make you nerd rage

    The exaggerated negative review. NOTHING is "raped my childhood" bad. Hyperbole hurts your argument. Especially when talking about a new installment in a long running series. It always comes across as "its not a graphic upgrade of the first one I played, therefore it sucks because it exists...

    Fox Is Probably Not Going To Make An R-Rated Deadpool Movie

    Butbutbut, they promised. They promised an X rated musical. A musical about chimichangas, guns, 4th wall breakage, and the buttsex. For the sole reason reason of screwing around with the demographic that LOVES PG13 wolverine-centic to the detriment of the rest of the cast, schlock.

    The Depressing Thread

    My mother died of systemic organ failure shortly after Valentines day. She was 59. The final stage of her condition was the most terrifying thing I have ever seen. She had been but on "we can't do anything but make her comfortable" level painkillers and sedatives. Due to nerve damage her eyes...
