    "Classic" Literature that you hated?

    It has to be Stephen Crane's The Red Badge of Courage. The irony and realism are on track, but the damn thing is so terribly boring; to top it off, it has the most ineffectual feature character and it's psychological portrayals of "fear" and "war" (or what-have-you) were just... bland, to say...

    Best platform for Deus Ex: HR?

    Hah, I'll also throw my hat in with the PC version. The controls are wonderfully tailored and it has all the graphical gravy that PC users know and love. That is, of course, if you can run it at full settings. But, even on lower settings, it's a refined experience on the PC.

    How often do you read?

    I hardly read anymore. I neither have the impetus nor the desire to truly read, and I spend my downtime through other means. It's truly hard for me to simply enjoy just reading anymore...

    What would you do if Jesus turned out to be real and came back?

    Most likely, I'd flick him on the forehead, shake my head with a furrowed brow, and proclaim "Jesus!". He'd smile, shrug, and the audience would laugh, like in a sitcom. That's how it'd play in my head, at any rate.

    What would you do if Jesus turned out to be real and came back?

    Definitely, I'd likely flick him on the forehead, shake my head with a furrowed brow, and say "Jesus!" He'd smile, shrug, and the audience would laugh, just like a sitcom. Or that's how it'd play in my head, at any rate.

    Any recent FPS that's not rated M?

    You, sir, make me laugh.

    What mech would you use in real life?

    I'd be pretty content with the classic Guren MKII SEITEN. Disintegrating others with my radiation gauntlet would never get old.

    DS Game recommendations

    I would go for something like The World Ends With You, Trace Memory, Infinite Space (difficult, but rewarding) and my favorite DS game of all time: 999 Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.

    The appeal of Anime

    Very, very true, but I was specifically talking about the dialogue amongst the characters. It's highlighted as more realistic and humanistic--which is to say that it is rationally more centered around human emotions and the like--especially when compared to most other forms of television, and...

    What's your favorite Nintedno 64 game?

    Oooh, definitely Perfect Dark! It improved upon Goldeneye (fantastic) and just created its own unique world; it was an excellent game. Besides, I'm a sucker for reload animations and Goldeneye just didn't do it for me, aesthetically. :P

    The appeal of Anime

    Like what has already been said before me, most of the appeal lies within the personal tastes and preferences of the individual, rather than a collective appeal. Honestly, I love anime for the wonderful aesthetics, the wide range of plots, topics, and pathos, and the ability to emotionally...

    What ever happened to "live action" in games?

    You could always play Darkstar. It's a new-age version of the old FMV games; in fact, it's rather good and headed by the guys who did a lot behind Mystery Science Theater 3000. Other then that, however, I really don't know. You could always go back down nostalgia lane and grab a Genesis. To...

    Poll: Do you ever play as a female character in video games?

    I also find female characters more interesting to play; no matter the game, or options in game, I'll generally play a few of the rounds as a heroine. RPG's especially. I can't speak from an MMO-based experience, but in those cases, I'll generally have multiple characters, some of which are...

    Did You Switch Your Major?

    I'm currently in the process of considering a drop of major. That, or a conversion of it to a minor. It's a hard choice, in my opinion. Still, I have yet to change my major, but who knows... Ask me again in a few months. :)

    Poll: Ps3 games with good online

    MGO is great, but almost fanatic these days. But it is still something that everyone should experience. And I hate to be "that guy", but I would whole-heartedly recommend MAG. It has a large, active community and is a very approachable game. Definitely a great online title there.
