    Terrible movies that you like

    The Adventures of Pluto Nash. I effing love that movie. Everything from Jay Mohr's Scottish crooning in the beginning ("They're movin' father's grave to build a sewerrrrr! They're movin' him regardless of expense!") to the technology to the characters, especially Randy Quaid's portrayal of...

    Your favourite Star Wars moments

    Good grief, there are so many to pick from... I actually liked a ton of stuff from the original The Force Unleashed game. Bringing down a Star Destroyer was as awesome as it was ridiculous. Talk about a Refuge in Audacity. (Enjoy spending the rest of your day on TV Tropes, by the way.)...

    Dungeon Master Need a Moment? Throw Up a D&D Loading Screen

    I use Roll20.net, but another popular one is MapTool. Both are pretty solid. I've heard of a third one called Fantasy Grounds, but I have no experience either playing or watching games on that one. It's probably worth taking a look at all three to decide which one works best for you and your...

    What game do you keep coming back to?

    Knights of the Old Republic II with the Restored Content Mod. Love it, love it, love it. I also find myself going back to WoW from time to time for a few months at at ime.

    Poll: I want to change the Gamer reputation.

    Damn it, someone beat me to it. Well-said. To the OP: If you want to save what is perhaps the only worthwile aspect of GamerGate (increased journalistic ethics and standards), it's as simple as that. Start a magazine/review website. (I'll be calling it a magazine just for the sake of...

    Character types you hate - any media

    The dark, brooding angry guy (or gal, I suppose. I just don't recall any). The one who uses his personal anguish to justify the crap he pulls. It's even worse when he starts as a protagonist and turns heel. He's usually a loner who, at the best of times, reluctantly works with others and...

    Favorite Game Soundtrack?

    The Command & Conquer series has always had friggin' amazing music. Hell March 2 from Red Alert 2 is one of my favorites. The original C&C also had great music. Mechanical Man and Prepare for Battle were probably my favorites. Halo 2 also had a fantastic soundtrack. My go-to favorite...

    Dungeon Master Need a Moment? Throw Up a D&D Loading Screen

    Holy crow, I'm going to use all of these for my online sessions. Each week, I'll set the default page to one of these so they're the first thing my players see when they sign on. Ingenious!

    What was the most satisfying weapon you've used in a game?

    I'm going to break the mold a bit and move outside the shooter genres. Of all the weapons I've used in all the games I've played, nothing got me giddy with excitement quite like hearing three little words: "Ion cannon ready."

    Poll: Former Microsoft Console buyers: Will you buy the 720?

    Well, this is still all hypothetical (though I'm worried about the fact that they haven't outright denied it), but supposing the nextbox came with and always-online requirement, I'd have a simple response. Hahahahahahahahahahaha, no. I don't want to have to be online for a single-player...

    I won't give up

    The Mile High Club on Veteran. That minute of gameplay took me longer to beat than any one level on the same difficulty, including "All Ghillied Up." The worst parts were the two agonizing times I got to the hostage and 1) shot the hostage and 2) missed the shot completely. I think, all in...

    Poll: KotoR vs KotoR 2 (Mods allowed!)

    If you do decide to try it again, I highly recommend grabbing it for the PC if you don't have it already so you can play with the Restored Content Mod. Otherwise, you're absolutely right. The original ending is... well... Jaeke said it best. The mod also makes a lot of tweaks and actually...

    Poll: KotoR vs KotoR 2 (Mods allowed!)

    This. This really speaks to me. Every time I want to play KotOR I again, I say to myself, "Well, KotOR was great, but the level cap is stuck at 20, so I'll have to get off Taris as soon as possible to maximize my Force powers. And KotOR II has all those upgradable weapons and armor options...

    Poll: Videogame endings and youtube.

    I only do this if there's a game whose ending I want to know but I don't want to play through to see. Prime example: Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. Played through the first two missions, then gave up. I tried for a week to psych myself up to play the game again, but I couldn't...

    SOCOM But Not Forgotten

    Ugh, that article hit me hard. SOCOM got me into online console gaming. I still remember playing on Abandoned back in SOCOM I (by far the best iteration of the map). Hell, I still remember the first time someone came into the game with their GameShark cheats loaded up and murdered everyone...
