    Why don't YOU have Skyrim?

    NaNoWriMo. I've adamantly decided that I'm not getting Skyrim until my NaNovel's done, and if I don't at least get to 30k I incur a 2-week penalty.

    What can Developers & Publishers do to combat Piracy?

    Fine, I'll rephrase myself. New official wording: you are stealing something that, had you paid literally any amount of money for it, would have gone towards Christmas presents for sick children, all because you didn't want to put your credit card information on the internet, which is a...

    RPG players: good or evil

    Most games I choose the good path, on the grounds that very, very few game developers ever handle morality well. Mass Effect is pretty much the sole exception in my book, avoiding the two big pitfalls: "You get one bar aligning you between Good and Evil and you can't reasonably play gray," and...

    Your proudest moment in a multiplayer game.

    Halo 3. I got a Ghost. My buddy got a turret and rode on the front. The ensuing carnage was glorious.

    You've just woken up naked next to the lead singer of the last band you listened to

    Jason Aldean? ... I don't really have that much of a problem with this.
