    How OCD are you about your character's appearance?

    Very much so. I've been playing a lot of Payday 2 recently, and its just been killing me. When I play a heist, I'm always expecting everyone to wear the same mask and the same armor, so we look like a professional team. However, without creating my own lobby and dictating what people wear...

    Is difficulty a serious problem for you in games?

    It depends on what kind of difficulty. Personally, I like the difficulty where if I lose or fail, it's completely my fault. Not the fault of buggy AI, game-breaking glitches, artificial difficulty, or sudden changing of the rules or mechanics. Demon/Dark Souls and VVVVVV are good examples...

    Your Proudest Video Game Moments!

    This was quite recently, actually. I've been modding Skyrim to hell and back, and one of my favorite mods was Dragon Combat Overhaul. It alters the AI of dragons to make them smarter and tougher. Anyway, I was headed up to Northwind Summit to learn the shout from the word wall up there...

    entitled gamers? a good example going on right now

    "There's that word again!" The word "entitled" is soon going to go the same way that words such as "sexism," "emo," "biased," "troll," "boycott," and "racism" have gone. Misused, abused, and overused to the point where nobody takes it seriously anymore. I'm calling it now.

    Let's see your desktop

    In this thread, we all post our desktops. Because of reasons. I'll start: here's mine. Clean, crisp, and organized.

    Which game backdrop/setting are you tired of

    I'm getting a little sick of Bioware's setting. When I say "setting," I mean "there's this big evil threat looming over the horizon but everyone's too busy with their own stuff to help the legendary Protagonist McGee save the world and not have everyone die."

    Why I might not buy Half life 3

    Ha. Ha ha. Wouldn't it be so funny if the credits rolled right after Eli died, then the sequel was never made. Wouldn't it be HILARIOUS? My dreams of Half Life 3 are long since dead. Valve, I love you guys, but you sort of screwed the pooch on this one.

    What do you look like behind the avatar?

    You sexy sons-a-bitches and your good looks. I'm the fatass with the dog. His name was Walker, and we were transporting him to a foster lady in Indian Trail. Also this was a time when I thought Fedoras/Trilbies were cool.

    Installing Steam games on a new computer

    I'm thinking of building a new rig soon, and I have a question about my Steam games transferring over. If I've modified any of the games files (as in manually adding files into the games' folders), will those modifications carry over to the new PC, or will it install a fresh copy? I'd...

    Grand Theft Auto IV Didn't Drive an 8 Year-Old to Murder

    Hey. Hey. Here's a thought. Instead of taking the easy route and blaming the video game for the violence, let's look at the fact that there was a loaded, unsupervised gun just lying around within a child's reach.

    Has DLC gone too far?

    DLC is a mixed bag. On one hand, you have amazing DLCs that enhance what is already a good experience (Episodes From Liberty City, Mothership Zeta, Lonesome Road, etc). On the other hand, you have games with way too much DLC, such as Sleeping Dogs and Mafia II.

    What are you afraid of?

    Because of unholy creatures like this. Kill it with fire.

    Game: rate the person above's username

    Hydrofire is an oxymoron, so you get points for that. 8/10, pretty good. I'll have you know if you give me a bad rating I'll make sure Gaben himself releases Half Life 3 with microtransactions.

    Poll: Poll: Should Mass Effect end?

    It should end. Because for once. Just for ONCE in this generation, I want to see something come to a goddamn END. I want closure. I want to see a one-off, series, or trilogy just stop dead in its tracks. No more sequels, prequels, reboots, remakes, or re-releases. Make a good game...
