    AI Surrender Mechanic in Video Games

    Payday the heist has it. Its actually a game mechanic as well. If a team mate goes down and bleeds out he goes into custody, and you need to trade him for a hostage to get him back in the game. Best way to do it I've seen is waiting till an assault wave is over, getting a cop alone, smacking...

    Tone Setting Music

    I loved the syndicate wars soundtrack so much, I put the CD in my CD player and had it on repeat in the background. Cept I had to get up every now and then coz it would hit the data track. On a side note I loved the Total Annihilation soundtrack. Jeremy Soule composed it IIRC, and it had...

    Obscure animated films

    Ima throw more recommendations behind Secret of Kells, Persepolis and Waltz with Bashir. For my suggestion I'd say check out Waking Life. Crazy animation with a heap of different styles. Also some interesting philosophical discussion mixed in. Was done via a form of tracing live action...

    WTF Australia?!?!?!

    A kangaroos kick can do some seriously damage, mate. I was out in the bush the other day and they have some serious power in those legs. OT: Thats just an orb weaver. I don't think his bite would actually kill you. Hurt like hell yeah, and be ultra creepy coz its the size of your face, but...

    Best Video Game Songs of 2011

    I'll throw my vote in for Bastion. It's superb. I'm partial to Slingers song I want that played next time I enter a bar, or walk down a street. And Zia's theme is one of the greatest things to happen to my ears in the past decade. I'm also fond of the Binding of Isaac Soundtrack. Great...

    The last RPG you played... that WASN'T Skyrim

    I've finished all the Skyrim achievements. So I'm waiting for the mods to be released before jumping back in. I'm doing most of the steam Christmas achievement hunts as well. Soooo that list would be... Spiral Knights, Dungeons of Dredmor, Champions Online, and SPAZ. I actually got Sequence...

    Skyrim Magic and Loot

    Ive got all but one of the Daedric Artifacts. Both the Saviours hide and the Ring of Hircine (gotta love bugs) Im missing two of the Dragon priest masks. I actually dont use any of them though. Because my Smithing/Alchemy and Enchanting are all at 100, so I can make awesome double enchanted...

    Poll: Minecraft or Final Fantasy 13-2

    Umm. Minecraft. I don't know your gaming habits, but I would buy minecraft, save the other 55ish bucks for the inevitable Christmas sales that will start soon. Things like Killing Floor, Terraria, Aquaria, Dungeon Defenders Binding of Issac etc, will probably all be cheap as hell. Or you...

    Poll: Which game that is NOT OUT are you NOT GOING to get.

    MW3, I'm so original. While MW3 does look somewhat polished and a bit of fun, I dont normally play the multi, and am only realy interested in the story (as cliche as it looks ATM). Plus the multi DOES look fairly similar to the past few versions, so if I felt the urge for that I'd go play some...

    What 'mindless' games do you enjoy playing?

    ATM, Space Pirates and Zombies. I'm level 70ish, Have the best ship, the best cannons and awesome specialists. I need to collect all the blueprints for weapons and ships. Which you can get by destroying star bases. So the game ATM consists of, jump into new star, check to see if any star...

    Have you ever liked a game everyone else hated (or just said it sucked)?

    People hated that? I'll admit I haven't read much about it, and I havent played many Ace Combats before it, but I loved it. I played Ace Combat 6. Wasn't a fan though. Do people like 6? Oh and the Belkan war one. Didn't like it as much either.

    I want a challenge from boss battles in current games.

    I'm just going to throw out Shadow of the Colossus. Technically 16 Boss battles, with a huge overworld filled with beautiful scenery. They all have their own ways to be beaten, and each one feels somewhat different. Maybe wait till its released with ICO.

    Bad Webcomics

    I was amazed it took 3 pages and almost 100 posts to bring this up as well. Sohmer thinks hes so good because he makes 6 comics a week or something, (admittedley a feat) but the problem is they're all garbage. Maybe cut back and have some real funny jokes? LOL RAYNE DID SOMETHING ABOUT...

    Escapists: Have you ever snuck in/snuck out of something?

    I finished an essay late at my university, around midnight. It was due the next day, and I couldnt be bothered driving back the next day because it was 45 minuites drive away, so I kinda snuck into the building to submit it. Technically it wasnt locked, but all the lights were off and there was...
