    198: A Tale of Two Fan Sites

    For an example of a really well run fansite you guys should check out www.teamliquid.net It's a fansite for pro-gaming & Starcraft following the pro scene in korea. One of the reasons I think it succeeds is because how dedicated the staff are to improving the site and following the scene...

    Greatest Game Soundtrack.

    The starcraft soundtrack is pretty sick, even if it is only like three songs lol Secret of Mana has some of the best music ever created for a videogame imo

    What Would PC Gaming Look Like Without Valve?

    Without valve storytelling in games would still be in the dark ages, at least in the fps genre. Up until Half-Life fps's were basically devoid of story, and HL managed to implement an awesome story without breaking immersion once. Without CS I doubt eSports would be where it is today, though SC...

    Poll: Is Battlefield Heroes making a mockery of WWII?

    I've never really thought about it from that angle but I suppose yeah they kind of are... Not purposefully mind you, but it is kind of disrespectful to turn something so horrible into a game, but it's not really any different from medal of honor/call of duty, which do basically the same thing...

    Girls and gaming

    I don't often come up against female gamers in online games like fps/rts which I mostly play, but I find there's a lot of them at arcades and stuff playing racing games and DDR, and all of the girls that play DDR that I know are better than I am. I don't feel bad when I get beaten at the arcade...

    Why and how do you play?

    I'm not really sure why I play... I just find it fun... I like the feeling you get from beating that boss, progressing onto the next area, your character getting stronger. In competitive games I like knowing I beat another player, or that I'm getting better. I'm sure there's an element of...

    A moment in a video game when you did something awesome...but no one was around to see it

    I beat DDR songs when I'm all alone in the arcade, the first time I play them, but the next day when I go to play them again when everyone is there sees me fail horribly :(

    Bad parts of an otherwise good game that just frustrated you to point where you just quit?

    The stupid central dungeon in LoZ:PH, thing is so... so... Argh it's making me angry just thinking about it. I think I'm going to pick the game up again though since I never did finish it.

    Modern Warfare 2... Not Call Of Duty

    What does it matter what the game is called? If it's anywhere near as good as CoD4 it'll be one of the best games of the year.

    EVE online? Homeworld?

    You can get 14 day trials of eve from the site, or if you get a current member to refer you you get a 21 day trial iirc.

    14 year old girl arrested for child pornography.

    People like this girl should be prosecuted on the grounds of stupidity. Did you really think this was a good idea? I mean, fuck, get a clue, consider the ramifications of your actions before you go doing stupid shit like this. I don't give a shit if she's under the legal age of accountability...

    The 'Saw' Movies...clever or just WTF?

    I liked the first one because it focused less on the gore and more on the suspense. I watched 2-4 but didn't really enjoy them, don't think I'll watch IV, gore never did it for me.

    Is it wicked dancing or a seizure?

    It's called Tectonik dancing IIRC, a jaedong(a korean progamer) is quite good at it. But I do admit it looks horrible.

    Poll: Most innovative RTS in the last 5 years?

    Wow, I've never actually played any of the games on that list. I should probably buy more new games lol >_> But, I did play the demo of SoaSE, which was kinda weird, but innovative enough I guess, so I'm going with that.
