    any Murmorpuger worth playing other then WoW??

    Really? I'm sure Yahtzee is proud, eh? On another note, I don't get these games that require pvp. I refuse to participate in any pvp. This includes playing Chess on Yahoo Messenger. I have absolutely no interest in it because I am a twat and a sore loser. That any of these games require pvp...

    any Murmorpuger worth playing other then WoW??

    The skill thing doesn't sound so interesting to me. Probably because Runescape already does that. It's no big deal. It's basically the same as character level only broken up. My experience with mumorpergers has been limited, to be sure. I enjoyed the hell out of my 14-day trial of City of...

    How to Solve MMORPG Boredom

    Well, the thing is, all MMORPGs are just cheesy fantasy RPG games with an internet chat room attached. For me, the worse part is all the other players. maybe if they made a MMORPG without all of those twats, I wouldn't find the experience so insufferable.

    Ask a Christian Theologian

    A common misconception since this passage is often taken out of context. With context: When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others...

    Poll: A little math problem

    So, we haven't figured out if the second dog is male or not, but we have found out why mathematicians have such a hard time getting laid. I read the Wikipedia article on this and it's just shows how divorced from reality this shit is. How is it at all possible for a woman to have a 1 out of 3...

    Poll: Has George Lucas lost it?

    Lucas hasn't had "it" since he'd founded Lucasfilm Ltd. and became the money man he'd founded his own company to avoid. Return of the Jedi was the worst of the original trilogy because he'd stopped caring about quality and thought the audience didn't care, either. That he'd been proven right...

    the casual gamer demographic is ruining the indutrie

    Speaking as a casual gamer, I would say that the problem is the same as making children's films or television shows. All of the really good ones appeal to both children and adults. When they try to specifically target a younger audience, they lose the adult audience and thus make an inferior...

    Poll: People that leave games midway

    Ya know, I could probably count the number of times that I've played games online on one hand and have fingers left over. But I leave a game when it becomes boring or tedious. Since most online games are just chat rooms with a game attached, and most people in internet chat rooms are boring...

    Zero Punctuation: Eve Online

    Ah, another MMORPG. Are there any of those fucking things that are worth coffee beans shat out of a cat's ass? Frankly, I'm probably more biased against MMO's that even Yahtzee as I detest internet chat rooms and playing a shitty game attached to a chat room sounds like a special created just...

    Zero Punctuation: Soul Calibur IV

    As far as the appeal of fighting games, they are like a game of Chess or Checkers of something like that, only more violent. Unless you're playing against me since I am a notorious poor loser. In which case, fighting games do not seem violent at all. But the judge told me not to play Chess...

    Poll: Is realism killing video games?

    I think so because realism is not the same as fun. This shit gets pretty sticky, but a game is supposed to be fun, right? A game that's not fun is like a breakfast cereal without marshmallows. What's the point? So a fun game will be a version of reality. In some way or another, will be an...

    Just read Watchmen, whats next?

    Well, not always. I read his Eisner Award winning work on Supreme and didn't think it was all that great. It was basically a love letter to the silver age Superman, but it went on for too long and really didn't take full advantage of some of the concepts he'd added to the character.

    Just read Watchmen, whats next?

    Well, boxbrown4, it depends on what you want. there are plenty of super hero titles, and I kind of put V For Vendetta in that box. But if you're really looking to see what comics as a medium can do, I recommend Maus books I & II by Art Spiegelman and A Contract With God by Will Eisner. Both are...
