    Poll: Regarding coffee...

    I don't usually drink coffee, but when I do, I shovel the granules into my mouth with a spoon. Why yes, yes I am mad. So good of you to notice.

    Best strategy game ever?

    Gotta be Rome Total War. Sure the later games in the series have refined and added features to improve it, but Rome just has something... special about it. This isn't nostalgia talking; I've just finished a two hour session on it and it's every bit as great as I remembered it being. The...

    Games you think everyone should at least try.

    Total War series, anything from Rome onwards. People seem to dismiss it because they don't like strategy games, not realising that the RTSs they don't like are completely different to Total War. I'm terrible at RTS games and rarely enjoy them, but I kick ass on Total War. Already been said...

    How open are you with sexuality?

    I talk very openly about it... Whether I'm telling the truth or having everyone on is up to them to work out. However, get me into a sexually orientated game of truth or dare and I won't lie. At all. No matter how awkward the results may be. I know this because I played for several hours...

    Anyone else get worse when being watched or playing with friends?

    I've had family members in the room with me while playing TF2. They have just enough understanding of gaming to be amazed that I can hold an in depth discussion on game balance and mechanics with them, without any reduction in performance. And I'm used to having to take the lead and occasionally...

    Self-Imposed challenges

    I did a very similar thing a few years ago: Very hard/very hard difficulty, no turns limit but decided to just defend on a whim. Never turned on Rome so I only held Northern Italy. Everything from Northern Spain to the Steppes was controlled by my enemies; Briton and Dacia. They were allies...

    BioWare Video Shows "Dynamic" Shepard in Action

    "a new synchronization system which will automatically line him up with his opponent, ensuring a perfect punch to the throat every time and making heavy melee moves much more reliable." So the badassery of my assault-sentinel Kate Shepard who punched everything to death in ME2 will not be...

    TF2 players, what class do you use the most?

    Soldier to get the job done. Pyro when I want to have some maniacal fun. The others have 1/6 to 1/2 my pyro playtime. Total playtime according to Steam: 378 hours

    Quick Pokemon Question

    If all these friends are likely to see each others' cards you could make one with each evolution of Eevee and one with it unevolved. That would be pretty awesome.

    Pokemon: If you were one, Which one would you would NOT rather be?

    Magikarp Imagine knowing you could be one of the most powerful pokemon in existence, then every time you get into a fight the only thing you can do is splash.

    Your Skyrim character vs your Oblivion character

    My Oblivion character has a set of three custom spells that lets her walk up to an enemy invisibly; give them massive weaknesses and herself a huge magicka buff on touch, refreshing invisibility, and then follow up with a magical punch. A 1000 or so damage (not including weakness multipliers...

    What did you name your Skyrim character?

    Female Breton Battlemage (mostly destruction/one handed blades): Katynn Every main playthrough of the last few RPGs I've played (Mass Effect 1+2, Fallout: NV, Dragon Age Origins, Oblivion and now Skyrim) is a female character with a name that shortens to Kat. Kate Katherine Katrina...

    *gasp!* Someone who has never heard The Beatles??

    To be honest, I had no idea until now that Help was a Beatles song. And wouldn't have sung along on account of not knowing enough of the words. Still, best of luck in improving her taste in music. I may not like them personally but the Beatles were undeniably good. Also, show her Yellow...
