    FTL: Advanced Edition: First thoughts?

    Fuck the final boss now. I did a great run as the Mantis type B-not losing a single crew member- all the way to the rebel flagship... then it succeed in hacking my oxygen and after about 10 minute of desperate fighting all my people died from lack of oxygen. Is there a way to stop them from...

    Games with great banter between characters.

    I'll go ahead and mention the obvious Planescape Torment since it hasn't been done so. In the new Shadow Warrior, the banter between Lo Wang and Hoji is very enjoyable.

    Games with great banter between characters.

    So I delved into Fallout New Vegas again over the break and have enjoyed the hell out of it now that I am going through it for the first time heavily modded. However, despite the companions being far more interesting than the boring karmatic people you traveled with in Three, I felt that there...

    Funniest YouTube channels?

    In my opinion, nobody does it better than the Best Friends.

    Examples of good partner A.I.?

    Another one for Republic Commando. That game really deserves more praise than it gets for being both tactically brilliant and providing an interesting perspective to the Star Wars Universe as opposed to just being another Jedi fighting the Sith.

    What killed off Need For Speed?

    Dammit, why do you have to get me hyped for a game I didn't even know about five minutes ago? OT: Since EA pretty much owns Criterion now it seems I doubt seeing any future Burnout games, but I have to admit I have enjoyed the last couple of the games they made in the NFS series, with Hot...

    Thoughts on the Company of Heroes 2 "Rewriting History" Debate

    After reading an article on Game Front (http://www.gamefront.com/company-of-heroes-2-russian/), and observing the appalling argument in the comments there, I thought I would share my opinion on the issues of the game. I should note that I am not an expert on the war compared to quite a few other...

    Grand Theft Auto V - speculation on Bad guy.

    The idea of betrayal in the group intrigues me. Will we be allowed to choose who betrays who, and if it comes down to only one of them coming out of the story alive, can we choose who that is? Quite a few possibilities with this game, and Rockstar hasn't even delved into the actual plot, other...

    13 minutes of Assassin's Creed 4 gameplay

    Do you not remember Sid Meier's Pirates? Damn that game was so good. Really, look it up, with Sid Meier's name in the title, you already know its a timesink. OT: Definitely looks better than Assassins Creed 3, that's for sure. Let's hope the first several hours don't have the game...

    After 13 tries I managed to beat FTL...

    Yeah, the only blessing the boss gives you is the weapons are separate to the main part of the ship, other than that it is one of the toughest bosses I have faced in a game.

    After 13 tries I managed to beat FTL...

    I had recently bought the game on a steam sale, and holy hell was the final stage intense. I had never managed to get past that damn second stage of the boss when he drones you to death, but thanks to timely cloaking and missile spam I finally managed to knock it down with 2 hull left. After...

    RTS With Customizable Army

    I remember Tom Clancy's: Endwar had customizable armies as well. You start the campaign choosing between various battalions that allow you to choose how many of which type of unit you wanted in your resource pool. You could go on to customize the looks and upgrades of each type of unit in your...

    What's the best thing you have done in a game to make you feel like a badass?

    Recently deciding to get into Assassins Creed 3 again (since for the next two months or so nothing on the horizon has me excited), I felt like a cool guy at in the very first sequence in fact. An idea that had always intrigued me was going into a large populated area, scoping out whatever you...

    Funny 'Let's Play' Videos

    Another one for TBF, absolutely love them and my favorite Youtubers right now as well. I'll also go with JefMajor. While he does act like a complete dumbass sometime he is lovable and genuinely cares for his channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/jefmajor

    Poll: How many hours do you sleep a night (on average)?

    Just a simple question I have that I would really appreciate a few of you to answer for me for a statistics project I am working on. If you would like, you could also add you age, location, occupation, ect. to give more detail.
