    Poll: Your favourite guitar...

    Getting a Standard feels more like a longstanding goal because I would love getting an Gibson SG and a Gibson Explorer as well, and they cost half as much as a Les Paul while still giving me Humbucker-action. Me and a friend of mine swapped guitars once during a lengthy jam-session, he tested...

    Poll: Your favourite guitar...

    I'm the happy owner of Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster for about two months now and I couldn't be happier with it. I have never played such an easily played guitar ever and my playing have skyrocketed from once a month to daily. Of course that has something to do with me not busting my arse...

    Poll: Fellow Oldscapists!

    Yeah, I arrived back in June '09, just in time to hype, get confused by and ultimately shun Modern Warfare 2. Then of course we have the March mayhem "Zynga edition", The Rise and Fall of Extra Credits and the exodus of a lot of memorable forum personalities. Mostly just lurk now. After...

    Bioware announces Dragon Age 3: Inquisition

    Ok, first thought. Additionally what this guy said. I can't get excited for videogames anymore unless it is something relatable to games I already have fond memories of. However, Bioware make good games, they haven't made fantastic games since the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, but it will...

    Questions regarding Baldur's Gate

    Ok, thanks for the info. I'll probably never understand the damage-system but I'm not after building the most god-like character. Concerning NPC deaths, I knew that they wouldn't revive, I learned that the hard way in Fallout. I'm in the mines right now and I forgot to stack up on potions so...

    If you could erase the memory and start over with one game, what would it be?

    Mass Effect without a doubt. Not because the two first games are the best games this generation but because Mass Effect 3's launch was pretty much a trainwreck, most notably the ending and the face-import bug. Also, since I played Mass Effect 1 & 2 so close after each other they became pretty...

    Questions regarding Baldur's Gate

    I recently dusted off and picked up Baldur's Gate for a first play-through 2 years in the making. With that, some questions started to appear over the course of the hours that flew by: ? Are the NPCs so expendable or replaceable that they can die by the rate they are or is the game just damn...

    Poll: Battlefield 4 by 2014, too soon?

    By making that statement you were sure to get someones attention. While I don't care about people's opinions, their reasoning behind them intrigue me. So tell me, what sucked with Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2? Spare me the post-EA cancer that is Dice today, but both 1942 and 2 are...

    Good Year for RPG Fans?

    As much as I hate snotty elitism, this gave me a good chuckle. Got to check that game out or whatever the hell it is. OT: From a WRPG standpoint I can't say that this year has given me any gold yet. Sure, Mass Effect 3 rubbed that emotional and Mass Effect-fanboy urge pretty good and for all...

    Paul McCartney Working With Bungie

    There. Magnificent. The perfect expression I was looking for to fit the situation. I might not like the Halo games that much but damnit if Martin O' Donnell (or Michael Salvatore) isn't the best in-house composer in the entire industry.

    Why is Battlefield Premium controversial now again?

    Well if you bought Battlefield 3 because of the single player, then I feel for you. However, you should have known that Battlefield is all about multiplayer. And the the 50 $ is just a pre-order for coming DLC. I guess it matters from what outlook you have on the game. Battlefield 3 is the...

    Why is Battlefield Premium controversial now again?

    Yeah, that irks me as well. It is one thing to chip in on individual servers (Pc gamer here, so been there, done that), but getting priority on all servers is bullshit. But as one who were going to buy all future DLC, 50 ? seems like a good deal alone.

    Why is Battlefield Premium controversial now again?

    In fairly recent news, EA announced their intentions of releasing, pretty much a copy of Call of Duty: Elite, a service where you will recieve all future DLC and some swag for the additional cost of 50 ?. This has of course caused certain amounts of controversy, considering it is Electronic Arts...

    Journey Creator: Games Aren't Good Enough for Adults

    Hear, hear! The sheer pompousness is simply astounding. Guys like Jonathan Blow and Jenova Shen makes one hit artsy game and then they think they can dismiss everything that isn't enough high-culture to meet their standard. Look, I appreciate that the debate is there, whether games can be...
