    Poll: Totalbiscuit

    Personally, I get annoyed by the "fisheye" effect that I notice when the FoV is too high. For me and my plain ol' 4:3 monitor, 68 FoV is the sweet spot. Too bad most games will slap you on the hand for even thinking of going that low, though; if they let you control the FoV at all. As for...

    Does anyone have an opinion on CoD:Black Ops II zombies yet?

    I haven't bought the game yet (although I probably will, since this one includes bots like the first Black Ops and that's the most fun I've had playing Call of Duty since the first month of Modern Warfare 2 before the community pretty much became what it is today), but I was curious about the...

    The Five games that define you as a gamer

    This will be interesting. I'm a PC guy, so all of these are PC games, by the way. Which is probably why I found Mirror's Edge fun and not shitty. Let's see here, in no particular order: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault The first FPS game and one of the first games at all I played back...

    Zero Punctuation: DayZ

    Gameplay pro tip: Crouch-running is your best movement type. Greatest blend of maneuverability, unlikeliness of being spotted, slight of step and ease of transition to actual sneaking (since you're already crouching, all you have to do is walk instead of run). Gameplay pro tip: In the event...

    Poll: Your Pet is Drowning, and so is a Stranger.

    Well, I was going to vote "save the human" because I'm not entirely a sociopath, but then I read that I would then be attempting to save them from a Goddamn whirlpool. I can swim, yes, but even a "whirlpool" that's just some water spinning enough for it to be noticeable would screw me over...

    If A Random Girl Walks Up and Punches You Would You Hit Her Back?

    Well, since I'm the kind of person that's equal parts untrusting and paranoid enough to be on my toes pretty much at all times when I go out, combined with having an ethical side that can be best explained by "is paranoid of everyone but doesn't not interact with them, and if they get his ire is...

    Post your Battlelog soldier?

    I was looking at my soldier's overview, and I noticed that a well-sized box contained all the important info. So, I decided to make a thread where you post your Battlelog soldier, and maybe discuss them. What I do not want to see, however, is flaming due to preferred weapons. Save that for...

    Poll: Jim sterling VS Extra credits

    Eh, I like them both. I will admit that EC is perhaps a bit too "safe" and "politically correct" at times. I will also admit that Jim can be perhaps a bit too "down and dirty", for the sake of the comedy of his show at times. Personally? I think that the games industry needs to listen to...

    Why So: Anti-Elf?

    Yes, I know, I wasn't really playing fast and loose with the terminology; it's just that "racist Nords" are traditionally racist towards everything that isn't a "True Nord", which would be a Nord born and raised in Skyrim. Makes Dunmer look like a happy and accepting bunch when compared to that...

    Why So: Anti-Elf?

    I hate elves because I do. I never liked elves, what with most of them either having (douche bag) players behind them, or being of the "holier-than-thou" archtype. Playing Skyrim and having to deal with the Thalmor, still being snarled at by Dunmer (you'd think after all this time they'd get...

    What have gamers got against regenerating health?

    I don't really have anything against either mechanic (regenerating health or static health & medkits). However, I like hybrids better. Games like the original Halo, and Far Cry 2. Elaborating: In the original Halo, you have Shields and Health (much like in Mass Effect). They have to get...

    The last way you died in a videogame is how you are going to die IRL

    So...I'm going to die by winning an epic swordfight with a whole bunch of dudes, then turning around to see a very angry and burly man approaching me, who grabs me by the neck, and promptly marries my face to the ground at high velocity, breaking my neck. (Skyrim) Well, it would be a bit...

    Mass Effect 3: Extended Cut ~ It's Official :O

    I hope this "new ending" ends up good. All of this crap over ME3 made me interested enough in the series to try the original. I will admit, I overlooked the series when it first came out, thinking in my naivety that it was something geared more towards people who grew up on things like Star...

    Song To Fly Jets To

    I just noticed that in my tired haze (curse me for coming up with this thread at two in the morning!(EST)), that the title is "Song To Fly Jets To" rather than "Songs To Fly Jets To". A wave of electronic songs, next? I hope so. I think I'll revive this thread in the morning.

    Song To Fly Jets To

    Going a bit off topic, but that's okay, because discussion is fine, too. I'm not actually "in" to jets, I just started flying jets in Battlefield 3, and it's really fun. Also, challenging. I sometimes have trouble figuring out which way is up when I'm chasing dudes through the sky. I think...
