    Stuff you thought when you were a Kid

    I used to think that "state" was synonymous with "country" and that all countries, like China, England, France, and Italy were part of The United States of America which made up the entire world. I can't really remember having any weird beliefs other than that, but I have a friend who thought...

    What game got you into gaming?

    The first games that I remember playing extensively are Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Super Smash Bros., and Ocarina of time. However, I wasn't very serious about gaming until this generation.

    Why does everyone say the Uncharted series is amazing?(MINOR SPOILERS)

    Personally, I don't like the Uncharted series. Well, I suppose I shouldn't say that because I've only played Uncharted 2, and I didn't even finish it. However, from what I played I didn't feel any desire to beat the game, or to spend my time and money on the other two games of the series...

    Poll: How Happy Are You Being Single?

    I started dating my current girlfriend about 3 months ago, but we were close friends before that, and I wanted to date her for a while. We haven't been together very long, but we're both very happy and I'd like for this to last. When I was single I was pretty happy too, but I'd say that being...

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    I realize that I'm a little late to this discussion, but I'd still like to add my opinion. I'll start out by saying that I've never (knowingly) met a transsexual pre- or post-op, so my opinion may change if I ever do meet one. Anyway, I'm a heterosexual male, and I wouldn't date a...

    Poll: Will you upgrade immediatly?

    I'm completely with you on that last part. I like to keep my systems long after their shelf-lives are over, so in effect no used games on the new XBox would prevent me from buying any games once they stop making new ones for it. In general, I tend to wait 2-3 years until I buy a new console...

    Mojang Offered Up Scrolls Trademark, Bethsoft Said "No"

    Ughh, this whole thing is getting out of hand. As has been said many times before, if you dislike Zenimax's actions against Mojang you can just buy Skyrim used. Personally I know nothing about copyright law and either way I've already pre-ordered the game and will be playing it on day one.

    Do you believe in aliens?

    http://i.imgur.com/XxC4B.png Calvin and Hobbes is awesome. But back on topic, I don't know, maybe there are aliens out there, but I doubt that they have visited us.

    I will not be purchasing Skyrim.

    I've preordered Skyrim. I don't know much about the whole lawsuit against mojang, but I do think it sounds kind of idiotic. Having said that, I don't really care. If Skyrim is half as good as it's cracked up to be then I don't want to miss out.

    Well I just broke up my 11 month relationship

    Never had a girlfriend, and never wanted one until this summer. I met a girl in June that made me change my mind, and I told her how I felt, but she doesn't feel the same way. Also, I recently found out that one of my best friends has wanted to date me for a while, and I haven't really figured...

    Poll: What Age Do You Buy Your Child a Violent Video Game?

    Personally I've been playing M rated games and seeing R rated movies for as long as I can remember, so I'll probably allow my kids to do the same when I have kids. I mean, I'm not going to go out of my way getting them to play games like Grand Theft Auto, but I'd pretty much let them try out...

    PS3 owners- What are the benefits of a PS3?

    The PS3's exclusives are more and much better than the XBox's IMO, but that's mostly a matter of opinion. Also, you don't have to pay for internet, but depending on the game the quality of online isn't always great. It's not that noticeable, but when you're considering the fact that it's free...

    What did you want to grow up to be as a child?

    I'm still technically a child, but when I was younger I never really had something that I wanted to be when I grew up. However, when I entered high school I did have to start thinking about the future, and I've decided that I want to do something in the field of chemistry or chemical...

    Are you a "nice guy"?

    You sound very much like a girl that I know. She goes way out of her way to be nice and helpful to everyone. At one point I was in a similar position as the guy who was sobbing into your shoulder with her, but I came to accept our position as friends. I'm sure your guy will too.
