It's not sci-fi by any mean, but you should try Hexen. And I don't see System shock 2 on your list, for shame!

I have few ideas that would make you eat your words, but that's great. The problems I see with the current ban system is first that frequent posters with a mild mean streak, or even just a bad month, will always end up being banned permanently for what appear to be nothing much. They post...

But discussions on why "piracy", for example, should maybe be better tolerated are still allowed, correct? As long as it's not about admitting/enabling. (Yes, I will screen grab your positive answer) :)

At least one of the warnings I once got I can say with absolute certainty was due to the moderator disagreeing with me and using the relative shortness of the post as a convenient excuse. Since it was an unpopular opinion (but nothing racist or intolerant either, btw) the appeal wouldn't have...

I guess repeat offenders could get a true perma-ban. Anyway 1 year is a relatively long time, not even taking the health bar into account. Which is very slow to empty itself. 2 years, then? Apparently some popular posters get themselves perma-banned regularly, and they are just the most...

The point remains that he had a chance to change. There are lots of people who could use such a chance. Letting people come back after they have matured is worth having to renew the year-bans of a few sub-normal dicks. (captcha: "love you" heh!)

At one point I got strikes for low content very regularly, and I see mods doing the exact same kind of short posts all the time with no consequences whatsoever. Curiously, this tends to happen when I'm having an unpopular opinion, but never in more "neutral" threads. I think he has a point...

Good for you, but that's just your personal experience. I was being sarcastic, just in case you didn't see. Doesn't help that some haters really seem to think like what smithy or I said, at least when they're arguing.

Hey, look at me, I'm a pigeon who will blindly pay for crap and smile because a biseness gotta make money.

You're lucky then that your girlfriend isn't as much into drugs and is responsible enough for two. I wasn't suggesting that you get really drunk, only a little bit, but that was just a though. The brain can develop a resistance to the effects of many drugs in a way that will only make you want...

I see, I'm not trying to be condescending, sorry if I give that impression. Actually what is uncomfortable to many non-drug users is that this sort of experience could be said to "devaluate" normal or natural happiness, which could then be deemed "unworthy" or "not enough". I certainly do not...

You misuse tangible, but I see what you mean. However an artificially induced emotion (be it by any drug, including simple alcohol), no matter how intense, sounds shallow to me. It's feeling for the feeling itself, and not for any other reason you may associate with it afterward. You should...

I probably don't qualify as a "good escapist", but I have learned to at least be more subtle before it was too late and I got banned from here. Still I will never bow my head down meekly. If there's something I have to say to the face of great stupidity and injustice I will say it, come what...

:D Hey at least it rings a bell, I don't think your memory is that bad.

Sure they make the old games easily playable on a new OS plus a few goodies, and the help to gaming culture is probably worth all the money that can be thrown at them. But we should keep in mind that most of those games ought to be public domain (in a more ideal world, I'll give you that)...
