    The Grammar Nazi in You!

    Well, English isn't my mother tongue so I probably make a ton of mistakes myself. However, it still grinds my gears a tiny bit when I see your/you're, their/they're/there, a lot/alot repeatedly confused with each other. Furthermore we have wrong usage of affect/effect, 'would of' instead of...

    Games you love but nobody you know has heard of them.

    Bad Mojo - I love this game. The live-action intro-and-ending-cutscenes with cheesy dialogue were so bad that it was charming. The rest of the game was actually amazing. The only I know of where you play as a cockroach trying to survive in a home! Best cockroach simulator to this day...

    Trying to figure out Japanese city names

    As far as I know, it is only used on place-names to denote that it is a city, and not on nouns, adjectives etc. If you wanted to just write "(the) city of gold", then I think something like 金の都市 would suffice, while...

    How would you improve Dark Souls?

    The game wasn't region locked, but each version had its own servers restricted by version, so there was (at least) one server for Japan, one for EU and one for NA(USA etc.) People with the EU one or JP edition could not play with people from the states, unless one of them imported the other...

    Favorite Disney villain?

    I can never quite make up my mind, but it is either Scar or Ratigan. Honourable mentions to Hades and Yzma+Kronk though. :)

    E3 Favorites

    I think AC3 looks neat. So does Watch Dog and The Last of Us. However, the more I see of Playstation All-Stars, the less excited I get. It just looks like they've taken elements that I didn't like from brawl and amplified them (those supers feels like smash balls that can't be turned off, ugh)...

    Foreign Slang that You Use?

    I use too much english in my daily norwegian. It's not exactly slang, rather quotations and words that I don't recall the norwegian word for in the moment; It sounds stupid. The only other languages I know some of except english are spanish and japanese (just about the bare minimum to be able...

    What are "African-Americans" called in your country?

    As mentioned, in Norway black or coloured is used, but dark-skinned (mørkhudet) is used quite a lot as well.

    Recommend me some Morrowind Mods!

    To make it pretty, download the Morrowind Overhaul - Sounds and Graphics. A collection of, you (probably) guessed it, sound and graphic enhancing mods, like the above mentioned better bodies, better faces, MGE etc. As far as I can remember, it had each modders permission and credit is given to...

    Double Fine asks fans to fund new point-and-click adventure game

    I'm never gonna watch the credits for this game. It's gonna be one huge ass list. Yeah, I pledged money to this as soon as I'd watched their video about the project. Currently they are at 360 000, and this is only in a few hours. In another hour or so, the goal will be reached. Who knows what...

    XP Emulators and Game-recording Software?

    As the others said, use VirtualBox for running Windows 95. I don't know if there's a built in record-function in VirtualBox. If there isn't, you should first try out FRAPS, and if that doesn't work I'd use Camtasia Studio. For video editing, use Vegas. Vegas is pretty expensive though...

    Games That Were Announced But Never Released

    'Dungeon Keeper 3: War for the Overworld'. I was really excited for that. I still remember the first time I watched the teaser for it.
