    Remove a Game Mechanic from Existence

    I just want a game in the Half-Life style of linear but not painfully so, where every so often before and after major battles you get a full health restore somehow, so during battles you have to conserve your health but don't need to worry about a careless mistake during said battle screwing you...

    Those... those sick bastards...

    what's wrong with that? it sounds pretty hilarious, but odd that Cartoon Network of all people would do it.

    The Worst Songs Of 2008

    Wow, this thread has actually improved my opinion of Soulja Boy; no matter the quality of the music, he gets props for mentioning RoboCop. I'm almost certain that Snoop Dogg doing Sad but True was tongue-in-cheek, that's why it was so short, but nothing can erase from my mind the awfulness that...

    "Heavy Rain" and Free-Choice in Games

    Bolded text makes all the difference, gentlemen.

    Sequels that improved on the original

    What's wrong with HL2's graphics?

    Crabs could take down Big Boss. Crabs win.

    Games that would be RUINED, if remade today

    It's all in the opinion, my friend.

    BATMAN pushes PG-13 to its limits, what about Games?

    I found it strange that while LOTR: The Two Towers has plenty of blood (including an in-game cutscene where Gimli drives his axe into an orc's neck and blood sprays towards the camera), "Blood" isn't rated on it on the back of the case. Whereas LOTR: The Return of the King has comparatively...

    Which "cool" band do you detest the most?

    Actually, they're neither. They're shit. :) I agree with MCR (ya rly), Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, Paramore...as for Dragonforce, they're entertaining to listen to every now and then, but I hate when people think they have much actual musical talent; their live act is awful. Dream...

    10/10 - Expression of perfection or indictment of the competition?

    I like Yahtzee's idea on the Orange Box where he points out a slew of problems with the games, but admits that they're freaking awesome anyway, and you should play them regardless. Kotaku's review system is the closest to perfect IMO, except that it doesn't really weigh the pros and cons, so...

    games you WISH they made sequels to

    'Cause no one has played it :P Seriously though, I'd go for either System Shock 3 or Icewind Dale 3 OR DIABLO 3; BLIZZARD, ARE YOU LISTENING?

    Best online flash games

    I believe Armor Games has a game called Barbarian Bob...it's difficult in that old-school arcade game way, one-hit deaths, and you have to block using your shield while fighting, etc.

    G4, O how I loved thee

    Duty Free TV is basically the only thing I watch, although bits of AOTS or X-Play or Cheat if they're on. Man, I love Ninja Warrior and Unbeatable Banzuke.

    best tutorial-ish levels ever?

    I agree with both Half-Life's and CoD. System Shock 2 had a great tutorial, but the little in-game blurbs that you had to read were really annoying, because you could easily miss one and not know what to do, and stopping to read them killed the immersion of the early levels. The LotR movie...

    Realistic or unrealistic

    Realistic in what you can do (IRON SIGHTS, PLEASE!), but never compromising gameplay. I know, that's what everyone says, but only because it's the truth. Give me health packs and health bars over heavy panting and shitty regenerating health any day. I like unrealistic realism, if that makes any...
