I have the classic disaffected young guy thing. Y'know, half-heartedly trying to keep it neat and okay looking whilst also being painfully apathetic towards my hair. These days I'm the proud owner of the blandest hair-length; not crazy long, not crazy short. Sort of early Beatles-ish.

I'll see how it progresses from the get go, I'm a student, I can't really justifiably play either. However, if Microsoft makes good and keeps releasing games for the 360 I probably won't even need to for quite a while.

I was kind of too much of a social-weaver to actually get bullied, smoking kind of helped. It's a filthy habit, but every dickhead with a chip on his shoulder smoked, and for some reason the smokers had a weird camaraderie. I have apologised to people in the past I might've been less than polite...

Yep, that's a guy. Sexually confused? Welcome to the fucking club. Admittedly choosing a man who's also the most beautiful woman I've ever seen is kinda cheating.

I consider growing up learning to take responsibility, being less headstrong about damn near everything and just learning to get along with people. That's it. Hobbies, interests, favourite films, TV shows, cartoons, videogames, none of it has anything to do with growing up. Growing up is...

I would die to fix everything. Just, everything. You guys are too small-minded.

A lot of games try to do this and fail, but what I like is a boss that is clearly more powerful than you that you have to outwit with cunning. My example ain't exactly a boss, and I've kind of been obsessing over it as an enemy on these forums, but the Handymen in Bioshock Infinite. The part...

We don't know what's in the murky depths of the ocean, and he has control over all aquatic life. Actually, I think there is a comic where he seizes control of Cthulhu, or something that resembles it. Maybe an Elseworlds story.. Also, the fact he has to swim to get anywhere in his home-turf at...

Being able to, say, snap my fingers and I'm tipsy. Second time I'm pleasantly drunk. Third time stumbling, fourth time blackout. This would bring none of the negative physical side-effects of drinking, it would be purely mental. Perfect control over a night out and never buying a drink again...

What kind of museum is it? For a general museum focusing on history, I remember when I was around fourteen the main thing that tempted me into a museum was the promise of recounting horrendous acts of violence. Sorry, I'm not much help. Just don't condescend to them and put forward things as...

Eh, I'm in Uni now and my social life has improved tremendously, not that my secondary school social life was that bad. What happened is, as always happens to teenagers who grow up around each other, my social group began fucking each other. About half of us (including me) started recreational...

Eh, everyone reacts to temperature differently, blood circulation and what-not. Personally I wear fingerless gloves due to the fact I roll my own cigarettes, which requires a lot of finesse. I also own a touch-screen phone and get very easily irritated by having to constantly take off my gloves...

Like a lot of people in this thread I've been desensitized to a disturbing point, so the violence wasn't much of a problem for me. I didn't really do a "melee" kind of Booker however, so I may have missed out on some of the worst points. I would say the over the top violence would be a problem...

Booker Dewitt from Bioshock Infinite and the male American PC voice from Saints Row 3. "Thaaaat's right, don't fuck with the.. Pinkertons!"

I probably mostly used Possession, 'cause those turrets pissed me off to no end, but then I started using Return to Sender almost exclusively after receiving it, 'cause the Patriots pissed me off to no-er end. Nothing was more satisfying than catching an entire clip from a group of enemies and...
