    Can you guess a game from a line of dialogue? (thread game)

    1: I think that's Gears of War? But I never played it so I could be wrong. 2: Deus Ex Human Revolution. Try these, first one's rather obscure second isn't. 1: 'Your future hinges upon this fight!' 2: 'Please can't you spare something? I'm poor and sick and hungry!'

    Only in DnD/ other systems....: Strange things that have happened in your games

    Not 2 hours ago I just had my favourite session I've ever DM'd (although I've only DM'd like five or six times) Context: Four players made and now run a platinum mine for which they hired 10 elite soldiers and 4 Giant Boars (herded by trainers) as a defence. Via mining they uncovered an...

    What's Makes A Man/Woman?

    A man is pride, power, stoicism, independence, recklessness, lust A woman is tenacity, wisdom, control, soul, willpower, caution, creation I've always enjoyed being a man so I can't comment on being trans but I'd recommend picking the traits you like from either.

    Truly BAD Media You 'Should' Like:

    Skyrim. Compared to Dragon's Dogma or Dark Souls it's just mediocre. Borderlands is garbage that's only vaguely tolerable if you're playing with a friend. Breaking Bad is I guess technically a well written show but I found it predictable and it acted like it was smarter than it really was...

    I've been away for a while, can y'all bring me up to speed?

    I remember the days when The Escapist was full of life, full of content and discussion. Now days or even weeks can go by without the front page changing at all. As that guy said mostly people stick around out of habit or for Yahtzee.

    HEATWAVE UK Edition. Where the hell is the wind?

    I'm in Penzance (Cornwall) and it's damn hot here too. It's at that level of breezeless heat where I can lie still in the shade in nothing but my boxer shorts and still be too hot. I hate Summer, I love Winter.

    A Genie comes to you and gives you three wishes. What do you wish for?

    1: Either me or the entire human race to become genius (which I'd regret) 2: Perfect health (to fix my keratoconus and chronic excmer) 3: Schematics to the perfect spaceship

    Usually I feel like I've had enough after an hour or two in For Honor.

    8 of the Strongest Video Game Villains of All Time

    Seath is a loser who spunked all over a library. Illusive man is an idiot for a vast number of reasons. Alduin doesn't even come close to living up to his hype. Even then the list seems to be vaguely "iconic" villains rather than "strongest". Here's my list of great strong villains as...

    Well THAT was a shift!

    MR ROBOT is great until just the last episode or so. The first twist is really good, it turns out that two people the main character knows are actually his relatives, a father and sister. The main character Elliot forgot because he has severe mental disorders. THEN they ruin it by later...

    What if there's a sudden shift in the market and suddenly batteries are the new weed? You gotta be ready.

    Your age and your thoughts

    24, no debt, never even held hands (not ugly, just bad circumstances), trying to find more work but I got enough money anyways. parent is still happy for me to live with her so little costs. Okay resume, beautiful town, good friend, pretty happy.

    Poll: You have to fist fight the last game character you played as, how does it go?

    But the commander from Xcom is supposed to be ME, the player. So it's a draw.

    Need advice getting over my first (unrequited) love

    Cheers mate! Also you're right, I'm big into introspection. I dealt with the raw emotional sadness within 2 days, the psychological effects are taking much longer. I've joined a gym, solved my medical issues and started socialising more in the 2 weeks preceding it. What better way to deal with...
