Never had a PC that plays it up until now. Then I realized how overhyped that PoS is. Sure, scifi RPGs are extremely hard to come by. But I never cared to have illusion of choice take precedence over my story. ME, like many other wRPGs, are all about "making choices". So much good that did...

I certainly didn't mind ME's ending because of the way things pan out. I think it is sensible for the story to end that way. But the palette swap does tick me off as being a smidgen lazy. Also, you can't compare Arkham Asylum (an action adventure game) to an RPG like ME. People don't go to...

I kept blasting Portal's ending song (Still Alive) 24-7 when I finished my thesis. (I didn't have final exam either, and I already burned through all my reports and projects before then). It was very satisfying walking around, telling people that I'm "still alive" while they're just about on the...

I'm still ensnared by TF2. Can't be bothered to touch another FPS right now, go away--choo!

Can't believe you skipped the biggest offender- .//hack. I guess I can see that the author was only looking at his side of the pond (mostly), but the oldest videogames comics dated back to those Zelda and Megaman strategy guides. And not mentioning Valve's treatment of the TF2 multiverse when...

Caligraphy is an entirely different beast than just handwriting. Handwriting teaches you to write neatly--proper caligraphy doesn't even look like normal character. They are more akin to art--drawings, not writing. I wouldn't take it, and I definitely would never force anyone to take it. It...

Let me ask again--didn't they say SC2 is always online? Did it not have an offline mode? I'm pretty sure it's the same as D3.

I wish we could still do that. I guess it's also a bit of a cultural divide. I'm not from the US, so social mechanics is quite different. We're really not that old yet (most of us just turned 25), but life has already caught up quite well, and it's nearly impossible to get 4 people...

Let's admit it--we're the LAN generation. We grew up when multiplayer games were budding, but the internet was crappy enough that we needed to use LAN. The greatest multiplayer games came out when we have great freedom and friends close by (high school and college age). But father time is a mean...

I think SC2 is already pirated. I'll check the nearest mall next time I go, but I'm pretty damn sure I saw it since forever ago. (I'll try to buy and install it too, just for good measures). Before you say anything, I do not condone piracy--I already have my own legit copy, thank you. Never...

I'd have to agree with sleeping it off. It oughta go away one of these days.

We're split half and half. Judging from how they look in my years, I don't envy you though. At least the guys were half way interested in hitting the gym every now and then. Also, sweet shiznik. Kinda wished I could follow that route, but I want to work back home when I graduate, so physics was...

Oh boy, you guys have never heard physicists talk, do you? From spending 4 years in the physics and mathematics department, with chemistry majors as my roommates, I have to say that I relate to Big Bang a lot. It's freakishly true to life. Also, having that annoying genius roommate of a...

I don't know whether I'm nerdy enough to make this call or not (I have a physics bachelor and master's of engineering) but I think nerds like the show just as much as anyone else. If anything, I have seen nearly every single one of the ideas in the series being implemented/occur in real life by...

I go with FF mainly because of customization and convention--mainly that I've been using before Chrome was released. Right now, I think Chrome definitely feels faster than Firefox, but I'm so used to it now that I don't see the need to change. I also don't have that many tabs (not 10+) opened...
