    Dragon Age: Inquistion - Can Bioware Survive Another Misstep?

    This again. It was one game. One game that wasn't entirely up to *their own* standards. People need to lighten up a little. I for one, am very much looking forward to DA:I. Yes, I wasn't exactly thrilled about DA2, and I too had envisioned a different ending to ME3. Fact of the matter is...

    First Person: Skyrim is Soulless

    There's only so much that one can do. In Skyrim, there's thousands of people they wrote dialogue for, and you can talk to everyone. They have their own little scripted lives - they go to work in the morning, grab a beer after and then hit the sack. Same with Agnes. She; in a castle run by...

    Ten Year Old Saves His Family's Life, Credits Mario Cart

    I will tell you from personal experience that trying to romance someone like you would in Baldur's Gate is not the way to go. One time when I was in the US I got to shoot guns for the first time. Whilst actually shooting is not something you get handy at playing games, I could in fact name...

    So why is it offensive to consider homosexuality as a choice?

    Whilst homosexuality isn't a choice - There's an entire lifestyle surrounding it - that sure as hell is a choice. One can be attracted to the same sex whilst not changing the way one speaks, dresses and acts. Taking part in a scene, putting oneself in a corner, for whatever reason - is...

    Boobjam Seeks Busty Games Sans Tittillation

    Huh. This is strangely enlightening. That is, I just realized the internet can still amaze me. The 'giving puberty a helping hand' line was priceless.

    Strange and Interesting Language Occurrences

    In this context it might, as piña is also the word for pine cone. I forgot all about Spanish. To a native English speaker however, it will sound strange. It's not that similar. As a Dutchman, I have a harder time understanding German than say, Danish or Norwegian. And we learn German in...

    Strange and Interesting Language Occurrences

    'Drie-en-veertig' when not translated. This is actually also the case with some numbers in English, such as fourteen and seventeen. Think that's funny? Watch the French! They say 96 as quatre-vingt-dix-six, namely "Four times twenty and ten and six." They have a 'word' for 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70...

    What is your state's/country's embarrassing stereotype?

    Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa7ck5mcd1o Because there's a shark, and it attacks a plane. Because he's a shark! Nah, watch it after class.

    What is your state's/country's embarrassing stereotype?

    Oh, definitely. I travel quite a bit, and I'm asked if I'd like to buy/use/sell/rate drugs everywhere I go. Annoying! Want drugs? Seriously, tell people you're from Amsterdam. Unless you're actually there. Actually, I'm Dutch, but I'm not even from Amsterdam itself. But in the US, a lot...

    Dead Space 3 Needs 5 Million Sales Or Franchise Goes Bust, Says EA

    This doesn't make that big of a deal... I mean, three Dead Spaces is probably enough, no? How many Dead Spaces do you need? Seriously though. You can read this as 'We're not looking forward to make another Dead Space. That said, if it sells five million copies, we'll give you six packs of DLC...

    I never bought anything on steam, and will most definately buy ME3.
