    think back to the last three games you played

    Michael Thorton fighting the Covenant in a post apocalypse Mojave Wasteland. Sounds interesting.

    Poll: GM food.... wait.... what?

    Fuck Greenpeace. Nothing but eco-terrorists and luddites. I despise any organisation that actively holds back the progress of humantiy.

    You know what pisses me off? Nostalga worship....(rant-tasic)

    Typical back in my day, get off my lawn, walking stick shaking, nostalgia blinded fools. But if they insist on living in the past then let them, leaves more present goodies for us.

    Are today's gamers, on average, dumber?

    Give it another decade or so and we'll have people complaining that games aren't as complex as they were "back in my day" and they'll point to the triple A games of today and say "we should go back to stuff like that" while the newer generation roll their eyes at grandpa and carry on playing...

    Poll: No-kids-allowed movement. Yay or nay?

    I expect children to cry, scream and shout. It's what they do. When adults do it, especially in threads like these where they mask it by pretending to be intellectual, a little bit more of me is consumed by rage. Not to mention the sheer over-blown ego required to actually think you deserve some...

    Poll: No-kids-allowed movement. Yay or nay?

    Implying all parents have access to sitters at all times of day and night, or the cash to pay for them or the inclination to leave their child/children with a stranger who often isn't that much more than a child themselves (I've never seen a babysitter any older than 16). No lets force all...

    Poll: No-kids-allowed movement. Yay or nay?

    I'm sure everyone in this thread drove their parents to distraction on some occasion or another or cried in public as a baby or made too much noise etc. You annoyed everyone around you then and now in turn you have to suffer the new generation. How self entitled are you people?

    Chinese Parents Sell Kids To Fund Gaming Habits

    4.5 grand for a kid? Quickly! To the orphanage! I'll get the big sack someone else get the crowbar. I'm getting me some of that living gold!

    What are you addicted to? come now, dont be shy :D

    Nicotine - Thankfully switching to an E-Cig means I can puff away all day without having to worry about my lungs so much. Games - Obviously, current addiction is Alpha Protocol. Sneaky sneak! Warhammer 40K Literature/Universe - I think the fluff and video games are fantastic but I find the...

    Pregnant teen who drinks 32 units of alcohol a week

    It'd be nice if just for once we could have a story like this without over reacting morons screeching "LOST FAITH IN HUMANITY" or some equally moronic douche bags proposing their own favourite form of Eugenics.

    Modern Warfare 3 Domain Used to Promote Battlefield 3

    I've played both series pretty equally in my lifetime and I've enjoyed them both, still do to this day. But if I could go back in time I'd kill the creators of both of them before they were even thought up. The constant, petty, back and forth bitching over which "cluster of pixels with a logo...

    Poll: Do you object to being called a "gamer"?

    I don't mind being called a gamer, but what does irritate me is people who abuse the term. For example the "I'm a real gamer I only play x or y herp derp" crowd. Or the "Casuals/CoD players/fans of a game I don't like aren't really gamers!" Perfect example in this very thread If I could...

    Todd Howard, Skyrim Dev, thinks COD is 'hardcore'.

    That's the Escapist for you, pretentious and smug all around (for the most part anyway). Just mentioning CoD and Skyrim in the same sentence will cause plenty of people to break into a cold sweat. It's kind if pitiful.

    Under what circumstances would you become a Mercenary?

    Well, if by some unbelievable miracle I obtain the skills of say... Matttias Nilsson I'd probably consider it.
