    Hey Anyone Have a Good Game or A Classic Game That I should Get Into?

    Last console generation I was into was the PS2 and a lot of my favorite games from that system have already been listed but if you ever feel like dipping your toe into classic PC gaming I've got a few. You can pick most of em up of GoG for either 5 or 10 bucks including their expansion packs...

    ThunderC*nts of Parenting.

    Like others have said. She's independent when she's out on her own, paying rent, buying groceries ect. Hell you could probably make the argument that she could angle for more independence if she was finished school and paying rent even if she did still live with her parents, as it stands...

    So IGN decided to ask "why do people hate EA"

    One other point I'd make is that EA really doesn't seem to be learning anything. In the Deadspace 3 thread people were talking about how they were shocked that EA hadn't learned anything from the Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3 debacles but EA's habit of crapping all over a great IP happened long...

    So this Deus Ex: Human Revolution... Was this kinda a big deal when it came out?

    Other than the boss fights it was one of the best mainstream games I've played in years. Like Zaik said though, none of the sequels can compare to the first time I booted up the original. Damn that game was awesome.

    So IGN decided to ask "why do people hate EA"

    Also, Origin... That is to say the doods who published Ultima, Wing Commander, System Shock, Crusader no Remorse ect. not their online store thing, though I'm pretty sure that sucks too.

    Who didn't buy Mass Effect 3?

    Nope, not touching it until it's untied from Origin.

    Zero Punctuation: Syndicate

    Well at least Wasteland 2 is sitting at 1.1 million dollars in kickstarter money. Seriously though, I think that (in my little world at least) 2012 is really going to be a banner year for indy games recreating old genres. Double Fine is doing their thing, Xenonauts has the X-Com banner...

    Whats the Hardest Metal You Listen to?

    generally around 8ish... I like a lot of the slavic/pegan/folk metal. One I particularly enjoy is Arkona. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcwTO4YE70g She has a really unique voice and is able to flip back and forth between a remarkably harsh (especially for a woman) metal growl and a...

    Chinese father bites off son's penis

    Well... I guess he wants a happy ending (the penis works) but doesn't want to pay for the DLC (expensive surgery) even though lots of people have said they would pay for the surgery. I'm not sure what role bioware plays in everything though... Maybe the dad was a bioware employee?

    A game with Space battles.

    There is also Starfarer. It's in Alpha right now but the campaign mode is starting to come together. Damn fun game. It's scaled around small fleet actions of anywhere from one to two dozen ships or so. Pretty technical compared to a game like SPAZ or Freespace but once you get the hang of...
