    Favorite BioShock or BioShock 2 Plasmids/Tonics/Other customization

    I tried the search bar. Appy-polly-loggies if this has been done. As you probably expected from the title, the topic is about what your favorite customization from BioShock or BioShock 2 is. So, basically, what is your favorite plasmid, tonic, power to the people upgrade, any combination or...

    Dante's Inferno?

    As has been stated, the game is loosely based on a part of the Divine Comedy. The story itself almost certainly isn't a ripoff of Devil May Cry, but I don't know that well because they clearly take liberties with this. I suppose a better question is, would they be using this source material...

    Poll: MW2: care package knifing

    I think that what breaks the care package thing is less the speed increase and more the sprinting while crouched thing. That's just ridiculous.

    Poll: William Shakespeare, did he exist?

    Well, yeah I'm pretty sure he lived. I've heard that his work might be more derivative than one might think, but that's very different from being an illusionary amalgam of other writers.

    Worst weapon add-on ever....

    I loathe the grenade launcher attachments from Modern Warfare (2, specifically, since I've not played the original, but I've read that it's just as annoying to play against), to the point that when I played against a "noob tuber" (a title that Infinity Ward seems to have endorsed) with a sexual...

    Your top three anime openings.

    The music alone won't sell these or anything, but the opening sequences to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure are pretty great. Here's the first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhz3WJrhSHM I couldn't find any of the openings separated from the rest of their episodes, so it's just the first part...

    I don't like the ESRB

    Ok, first off the ESRB doesn't ban games. Some countries other than the US ban games, so maybe that's where you're getting confused. The fact that the major consoles don't want the image that publishing AO games would create isn't really their concern either. And this doesn't violate the bill...

    I have a question for Borderlands players.

    The multiplier seems to refer to the number of projectiles fired in each shot. This is most obvious in some of the helix rocket launchers. They fire three rockets with each shot which spin around in a helix, and it does the amount of damage listed times the number of rockets that hit in the...

    Poll: Are Old Horror Games More Scary Than New Horror Games?

    I feel like the iconic rather than superf**k realistic imagery that you find in older horror games has greater emotional resonance than what you see today. I'm not easily scared by new games but The Last Half of Darkness atill scares me when I walk into the wrong room, encounter the Shining...

    A plea for common sense. [UPDATED] I got my reply. 18/1/10

    It may also be nice to try going over the guy's head. He seems to hold a lot of positions according to Wikipedia. Which one gives him this utterly stupid power, and who is responsible for giving the position to him?

    Poll: Is Music Art?

    Art is a deliberate arrangement of aesthetic elements. It doesn't have to be deep, angsty, or beautiful to be art. Also, there always has been and always will be shitty art. It's just generally not as memorable as good art and doesn't inspire people to preserve or show it. I don't see...

    Zero Punctuation: Beatles Rock Band and Guitar Hero 5

    Did he actually criticize guitar hero 5 for having stuff unlocked immediately? Didn't he criticize SSBB for not doing that? Or am I misunderstanding something here?

    Microsoft Will Wipe Gamerscores for Shadow Complex Cheating

    Kinda reminds me of how they would change your name to "Thief" in Link's Awakening if you stole from the store. I wonder if anyone will do this on purpose.

    Chinese Officials Prevent Suicide With Butter

    Well, I graduated last year. Anyway, nobody can really help her if she kills herself. People who have suicidal thoughts and don't seek help are generally not going to be very easy to identify. While it is somewhat cruel to her memory, it certainly wouldn't be encouraging to living people...

    Chinese Officials Prevent Suicide With Butter

    It is stupid, but so is suicide in general. And it's not an uncommmon concern. Some girl at my school threw herself in front of a train, and she didn't get any kind of memorial service at the school because they don't want to encourage that sort of behavior. And, of course, "threatens to...
