    What's your favorite Pokemon?

    Umbreon and Cubone/Marowak are great. Not really up on the more recent generations.

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Brings Anti-Terrorism Back to PC and Consoles

    That's the reason NOT to have iron sights in my mind. CS has never been about iron sights and the realistic warfare elements. The reason it's still so heavily played is because it still holds a niche that other games can't compete in. There's an elegant simplicity to CS that makes it...

    EA May Terminate Your Origins Account After Two Years

    Nobody should be okay with this. It's fine if you plan on adopting Origin entirely like many have with Steam. I however, plan on staying with Steam, which means I will only use Origin in rare cases. I can imagine only having one game that uses Origin. I resurrect loads of games that I haven't...

    New Dream Theater track - On the Backs of Angels

    It's Mike Portnoy, and I think he wanted the band to have a break as he thought they were stagnating (I think that's how the story goes) If you haven't heard their old stuff (Images and Words, Scenes from a Memory, Awake) then I would recommend it. Miles ahead of the last few albums.

    New Dream Theater track - On the Backs of Angels

    Sounds pretty great to me. Mix is very different, drums are a lot quieter, and you can actually hear the bass again which is fantastic. Seems like a return to earlier years, which I'm completely happy about. Might be the first DT release I've been excited for for some years. Thoughts...

    Rapture Rises in Lego - UPDATED

    I think you missed something. Seems pretty neat, but I agree with someone above. Some shots with more atmospheric lighting would be much better I suspect.

    Is it better to keep silent or even lie to not ruin people's hope, or to be honest and dispel myths?

    My mother went to some alternative therapy because she had pain and restricted movement in her arm. She's not a crazy hippy, but the doctors couldn't do anything for it. But hey, it worked. Whether it was a placebo or not doesn't matter I guess. My stance is, if they've exhausted the...

    Be a man (Say something you hated about a game you Love)

    I hate the loading times in Portal 2. I think that's it.

    Poll: New forum rules - Yay or Nay?

    In theory it's fine. But most probations and warnings I see I don't think are deliberately offensive or hatemongering at all.

    Portal 2: Worth the price?

    I have never been more satisfied with a full price game purchase With the new maps coming too, things can only get better

    Why don't more game developers do this?

    I'm talking about what I will henceforth call Project Portal. Basically, I think we're all fed up of the high volume of sequels and/or samey FPS space marine and war games. But I can also understand that in this day and age, when AAA games cost so much to make, that you have to make sure your...

    DLC for Dummies

    I honestly can not understand this either. Portal 2 is NOT short. It took me probably ~7 hours, and I played the first one to death (doing all the advanced maps and challenges and such). I still haven't tried Co-op yet. I expect there will also be some Advanced Chambers and Challenges to be...

    Poll: If Jesus ran for president, would you vote for him?

    Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood [shall be] upon them." So yeah it's in the old testament. So even if you don't acknowledge the Old Testament, it was still...
