    Need a good venting game. Suggestions?

    Mine is Mortal Kombat (I have the PS3 version). Sure, there's combos and what not, but I don't worry about those. I just do what I did on the arcade version: mash buttons and enjoy the crazy violence.

    Games as licenses and EULAs

    I first want to admit I have very little knowledge on this. However, I have to wonder if it isn't just an outgrowth of the technology we have available. As I understand (and could be waaaaaaaay off), if I "own" my copy of the game, the developer could not force me to apply patches as it...

    Party members in RPG's: Do you try to use all of them, or just focus on a few?

    I usually tend to build a favorite "group". The one exception so far has been Kingdom Hearts, where given the choice, I will swap out one of my guys (usually Donald) for the character. The only other party-driven games I've played are the Dragon Age games, and unless I'm doing something that...

    Poll: Do You Run?

    I have really gotten into running after starting the Couch-to-5k program. I feel great afterwards. It's become one of my fave exercises.

    Weird game "habits"?

    In WoW, I still push for achievements on my hunter. As though the account wide logging wasn't there. Be easier on my Mage? My Shaman? Nope. Has to be my hunter or it doesn't count. The only exception is if I ever try to chase the BG/Arena ones. PvP is not my thing. I'm willing to go with the...

    Brenda Romero Resigns IGDA Post Over GDC Party - UPDATED

    It is sad to see the industry lose a female voice while perpetuating the idea that women have no place in the industry because of delicate sensibilities and should run the minute they feel threatened. Ladies, sex sells. It goes two ways, too. Look at Magic Mike, 50 Shades of Grey. But...

    "Every New Game From Now On Must ___________" (fill in the blank)

    In fact, forget the game... Seriously... every new game should continue the way the industry is going. I'm happy with the industry as a whole. Yeah, there's some crap out there. But there's also Skyrim, Diablo III, Max Payne 3, etc. There are tons of good games out there. And the stupid...

    Always On-line is Not a Deal-Breaker for Me.

    Haven't read everything, so probably going to repeat some things others have said. (Also, been a while so Hi Escapist!!!) I don't mind it at all. My computer is connected to the internet 100% of the time. If I lose internet for some odd reason (very rare), I go do other things (play a...

    OH NO! You're a clone!

    I'd give my husband a very good night (nudgenudgewinkwinksaynomoresaynomore). Then I'd live the best life ever. Alternate between which does work/school/family stuff, the other could just play video games all day

    Poll: Alcohol and your reasons...

    I'll knock back one or two drinks every few months. Overall, I'm just not that into it. I don't judge others and what not, and as long as you're intelligent (i.e. designated driver, doesn't impact other areas of your life) no real harm in it. If life gets REALLY shitty, then I might go get...

    Poll: What did Sony do wrong?

    ^^This. Delaying press release was bad. NOTHING is unhackable (at least if it has internet access), so I don't really blame Sony for getting hacked.

    Knights Templar Call For "Negative Game" Ban in Germany

    I love how these groups keep acting like this is somehow mutually exclusive with creating the "violent" games.

    What would your Call sign be?

    Rogue Eleven, naturally. Two of my fave female Rogues had that call sign.

    Your favorite villain is now your room mate.

    He'd find my weakness anyways, since he can find it just by a person's preference in art, not just what they do themselves. And no, Joruus C'Baoth would definitely not be joining us. Insane jedi temper-tantrums are just so hard on the furniture.
