I feel that the what qualifies as cool differs between the online space and real life. Many times I find my impression of online gaming culture is that if you say that you like Call of Duty you are a industry-destroying fiend who must be ostracized. But in real life, the game garners between 20...

Yeah, I've been watching TB's Hyper Incompetent Single Draft Disaster videos and the game looks really fun. So I'd like a key as well please.

Freespace 3 anyone?

26 hour Civ4 marathon.

I like fps games like CoD and Halo, but man, Battlefield just doesn't work for me. It just seems slow, arbitrary, and so perfectly balanced that nothing is interesting. I found more Frustrating than CoD and slower paced than Halo, which is saying something, because Halo can be as slow as...

A global announcer that counts down from five whenever I'm about to finish in bed.

Wonky controls. I'm looking at you, Battlefield 3. Oh, and at you Dead Space. On another note, Bullet sponging. Yes, that means I find Borderlands to be exceptionally frustrating. Last bit, Limited health from fight to fight. I can understand no regenerating in a fight, but when I have...

Beat any Halo Legendary Co-op with a friend. The challenge is that have to still be friends afterword.

The Winter of our Discontent. My dad made me read when I was fourteen. There was no plot. none. zero. nada. diddly-squat. Now if you would please excuse me, I going to cry in the corner while burning pictures of my dad.

I've only played Skyrim, so take this opinion with a grain of salt. It feels like an insult to my intelligence when a game includes sex scenes for no other reason than to appeal to gamers who had to stop paying subscribtions for "less respectable websites" in order to afford the game. Gameplay...

I got into fps with Halo two, I used to play three man free-for-all with my brothers for hours. Played 3 a little bit, though by the time I got a 360 Reach was out. I'm looking forward to 4, and I plan to get it on release day. Less intense than CoD but more less frustrating and more fun with...

Two Moments 1: The end of Halo Reach. 2: Killing the mothership for the first time in FTL. Since you can't reload an old save you end up getting so invested that it actually feels like all or nothing.

Borderlands 1. Not only does the entire game have a "why not?" attitude about it, but there is also a four-eyed mammoth that spits exploding pteradactyls at you. Plus, playing through the campaign with the hunter gives you the sense that your character is a sadist. Here us game makers, more...

Haters gonna hate, but I'm still getting this game when it comes out.

Since I didn't really like civ 5, I still play civ 4 bts with the mod realism invictus, and it's extremely awesome. that and the mods for Medieval II: Total War mean that for me, mods are very important.
