    Poll: Smith or Tennant? (Or Eccleston)

    I look at each of the doctors are fundamentally different entities- like going into a movie adaptation of a book. If you're going to enjoy the show in the long haul, you need to accept each one on its own terms. I got hooked on the show via Eccelston, and Tennant was spectacular, and I...

    I want drug users, smokers, alcoholics to explain this to me (seriously)

    Marijuana is incredibly boring to me, but when I do smoke I do it just before I go to bed and sleep like a baby. Alcohol on the other hand, is a wonderful thing. I'm aware of the taboo in saying that you drink to get drink, but... Screw it, I do. It's just damn good fun.

    Who's your favorite Doctor Who companion?

    I love Rose Tyler, I really do- but... Amy... I love Amy, 'so' much. I thought the Rose/10th Doctor match would go unrivaled, but I was happily surprised. Amy/11th definitely is neck-in-neck.

    games that should have NEVER EVER been made

    Really, any game based on a movie, but that goes without saying. Prototype should never have been made. It took a gimmick too generic to stand on its own, and then made it stand on its own by filling the rest of the game with stock mechanics/plots/settings. Also, Two Worlds. Horrible...

    Poll: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim Vampires and werewolves: Yay or Nay?

    Vampirism- I don't care about. Lycanthropy on the other hand seems like a must for this game. I don't know how Bethesda could be taking us to the magical Nordic homeland of Scandinarnia without giving us wolf men. There was a Lycanthropy mod for Oblivion wherein you could bite others and...

    Poll: What do you call it? Soda, cola, pop, etc...

    Soda, because I'm a Bay Stater, godamnit.

    Japanese RPGs Need to Change, Says Final Fantasy Creator

    From a plot/aesthetic standpoint, I think JRPGs fail in their character development and depth. The emotion is always raw, and affecting, but unless the game is excruciatingly long there's generally very little noticeable growth. This isn't to say the characters are (necessarily) two-dimensional...

    What do you really know about Australia?

    Australia is the America to New Zealand's Canada. This is what I know.

    So I just finished watching 'Welcome to the N.H.K'

    I like the concept of it a lot. It was different, intriuging, and most importantly; relevant. So few anime series try to tackle real world issues in a real world settings, and so few of the ones that do are worth the watch. I liked the way it kicked off, Welcome to the NHK, and at times it was...

    Black & White Monster Penis Almost Got Peter Molyneux Knifed

    I'm not sure how this'd work... Mostly because the species of creature that you can have in the game are all... Well, erm, not quite as well endowed as humans. But what the hell, if I can suspend disbelief enough to accept that a several-hundred-foot-tall sentient animal that serves a deity can...

    Type out your accent phonetically!

    The problem is that the mainstream American dialect (Californian accent, which has been marketed to the majority of Americans through media, and is thus the one we use by and large) is very phonetic as is. So those guys are actually doing what you asked them, provided that is the dialect that...

    Poll: What Genre/'s do you listen to?

    Power metal, neo-classical metal (think Apocalyptica), Industrial metal, heavy metal, hard rock, classic rock, synthpop, and lots of really avant garde, genreless stuff like MGMT. I'm also big on opera and musical theater.

    Molyneux: Fable 3 Will Upset Some People

    Methinks it'll be sci-fi. This seems too drastic of wording for him to be just downplaying something for marketing purposes. Either way it will probably suck and leave Yahtzee doing some beast of a three-part ZP. The man just should've stopped after Fable. It was a decent, fun game with some...

    Popular bands that you don't like?

    There are the obvious ones... Jonas Brothers, Green Day, U2 (How can someone who does so much humanitarian work still be such a dick?), any crap expounded by Disney really... I'm also not a fan of Nirvana.

    Games You Wish had been Good?

    Two Worlds Mass Effect (Yeah, yeah, I hated it.) Prototype Banjo Threeie Banjo Threeie was the biggest disappointment, as Banjo-Kazooie is quite possibly my favorite game of all time.
