    Big Risk Career Decision - Help?

    Can you explain why you want to live in Japan? As opposed to another country? It's always a good idea to be able to explain why you want to do something before you do it.

    So. I'm almost certain I will be fired from my job.

    It might help if you helped us out a bit. How exactly has this job been going badly?

    Depression: Tell Me What to Do.

    It's been said, but I recommend taking up running. Even if it's just a jog to the end of your street to start off with. I find I feel sharper and less gloomy after a run; runners high is a real thing and can last for a while. Just don't overdo it; even if it feels like a pathetic effort, it's...

    Game characters, if they were seeking employment in the real world?

    Taki could open a fast-food chain called ninja burger!

    Game characters, if they were seeking employment in the real world?

    Link would make an awesome handyman. And probably a good PI as well. He could team up with Navi and start a firm.

    Several problems happening at once.

    First of all, you need to realise that there have been tens of thousands of people in your position. You're not alone in this, and people have worked through it and managed. First off, focus on your exams. I know it seems like bigger things are happening right now, but if your girlfriend will...

    Is my sleeping pattern buggered?

    Take up running. It's not just exercise, it's aerobic exercise. You need to get properly nackered. I find if I stop exercising I get insomniac (along with a whole slew of negatives). Other than that, stay away from caffeine late in the day; drink it in the morning only. It can stay in you...

    Game characters, if they were seeking employment in the real world?

    I can totally see War working in a supermarket stacking shelves. (Darksiders) On a serious note, Sonic would obviously make a good athlete. However, he'd probably get disqualified for being a blue hedgehog, become bitter and depressed, mooch off Tails (who would of course become a genius in...

    Need some help remembering an old PC game!

    Hrrm... do you have any other details other than it might have been Norse themed? Was it fantastic in nature? Mundane? What were the factions? Do you remember any campaign details?

    What is the worst game you own?

    I admit this may be partially me. I bought it because it looked like the sort of thing I play Total War for, only in an era I'd never seen that sort of gameplay in. After playing Empire for a while, I've come to the conclusion I just don't find musket-based warfare very enjoyable to simulate; I...

    What is the worst game you own?

    Gonna go for Imperial Glory. It plays like a cheap Total War knock-off and feels clunky as all hell. It's a very old game, but it's one of the few games I've never felt the inclination to come back to.

    What Ruins a Game For You?

    Anything which involves stumbling around not knowing where the heck I am supposed to go. I'm not a fan of mindless searching for what to do next. So needless to say Silent Hill isn't my cup of tea, even with the excellent storytelling. Sandbox games are also a pain in this sense depending on the...

    Poll: Who here actually wants RPGs to get easier?

    You need games that have both complex and "dumb" games; games for the veterans and people who spend hours in these games and need to be challenged, and games for people with only a few hours or even minutes each week to pick up a game, and who are completely new at the genre. If I am playing an...

    You have been challenged to a duel

    Bar-fisted and naked in a minefield, only the mines are in fact undead dinosaurs that grab you with their fetid teeth and drag you bleeding and screaming under the ground into a land where misery rules eternal. The sky above our duel hosts an atmosphere which is acid, and clouds which rain...
