    Fable III wasn't THAT bad... was it?

    I played three hours of Fable 3 before I removed it from my hard disk. Each of those three hours was spent in complete and total awe at just how monumentally terrible the menu system was. To call the controls counter-intuitive would imply that a three year old villager from Sri Lanka could...

    Why doesn't Microsoft just make a PC/Console hybrid? (Tech savvy people please respond.)

    Because that would be Microsoft inching towards a Vertical Monopoly, and they already went to court during the 90's for violating corporate law.

    Games with good gameplay but terrible story that made you stop playing

    Every MMORPG. Then again, those brush into 'terrible gameplay' territory like a virgin's hand into a pair of panties.

    Kansas may halt cursive education

    I think I remember spitting at my teacher's face when I was demanded of to write in cursive. Something about learning a whole new alphabet for the sole purpose of writing slower and making what I completely fucking illegible didn't quite compute to my 8 year old brain. I already learned the...

    how often did/does Fallout New Vegas crash or/and freeze on you

    New Vegas only ever crashed on me three times. It was during one playthrough, when I tried to enter Camp McCarran's terminal through the front door. I tried the back door, did my business, then tried the front door again a few times to discover that the bug had vanished. Other than that...

    Poll: Why do people hate 3D?

    Yes, stereoscopic vision is a pretty big deal, considering it was the primary means by which Homo Sapiens dodged hungry lions. It's so important that the brain has its own, rather effective work-arounds just in case one of our eyes gets fucked up - size disparity, parallax, memory, and probably...

    Nintendo Likely to Go Software Only, Says Zynga Board Member

    "The latest such prediction comes from former EA exec and Zynga board member, Bing Gordon." I'm sorry, but my urge to excommunicate whatever this wonderful person (it took me one minute to wtrite those words with a straight face)says has just won out. Have a nice thread.

    The worst game you've ever played

    The Dune game. No, not the 'loltankrush' RTS' by Westwood back when they existed. I mean 'adventure game' Dune. Just... Wow. That was awful.
