    Sunglasses

    I only have two pairs, if you can count it at that more like one and a half. One is an aesthetically awesome pair of Harley Davidson shades. But since I wear prescription glasses those are only for when I'm out with my contacts, which isn't often. Otherwise I keep a nice set of clip-ons...

    Do reviews affect your opinions?

    Its been a long, long time since I've had a game that I didn't know I wanted immediately or would otherwise avoid. There is not that much creativity in games these days(outside of arcade) so either a game is going to be polished or a worthless clone and you can usually tell. I use reviews...

    Greatest Game Opening EVER!!!!

    I can't believe on the escapist this was missed. Come on guys unskippable did a show on it! Though there is a section when the intro is broken by gameplay its not the end of it. This one is reminiscent of the old FF days so I like it Old game good intro though

    What's the oldest game you can still enjoy today?

    Not counting emulators. Sacrifice, Though I still own and been tempted to play populous: the beginning and cnc: tib sun. Sacrifice is still ranked amongst the most funnest games I've ever played across all the systems I've played in my life. I <3 Sacrifice, the graphics haven't aged the...

    To Mirror...Games that aged well

    I loved Toomba, that game was great. As far as for me games that aged well... Shiny's Sacrifice - some of the most hilarious diety interactions and gameplay you'll find. My friend always got a kick out of the fact you someone creatures that help you regen your mana called manahoars...

    Private School-girl Suing Over a Sporting Accident... Really???

    I'm so glad someone did this, I was about to actually state something like it myself. The case once you realize all the parts to it was actually worth a law suit, the amount itself was also reduced afterwards. McDonalds had reports showing that the coffee at the temperature they served it...

    Games you couldn't understand the hype over?

    Okay this is probably going to to get me some hate but... Zelda Series... No wait hear me out, the individual games are good, the series as a whole isn't worth the hype it garnishes. The games aren't that different from each other, at least not enough to garner the hype it has. But if...

    Poll: So, what do you dislike Electronic Arts the MOST for?

    Company owners and their employees, at least on a temporary basis, tend to gain more money when they get brought into the fold. So to speak. They get increased funding which allows for them to hire new staff and push games out faster. They also have the knack for keeping the company owners...

    ME3 Ending Player Choices and the Subsequent Justifications

    Well I chose synthesis only because it was the only true way to end the cycle. If I controled the reapers it didn't mean life would not eventually fubar up and I'd have to sweep in and kill em. Destroying the reapers would only mean in the distant future people would just make them again...

    So MovieBob had some crap to say about that there Mass Effect 3 thingy...

    Fine a better analogy, you goto a restaurant you don't like the food. What do you do? Thats right you take it back and they'll get you something else or remake it if its not cooked the way you want it. If you own a restaurant that lets say sells sandwiches and 80% of the customers come...

    Gamer Entitlement and the PC

    Quake 2 would've never lived as long as it did if it wasn't for the mods. Many mods have actually fully flourished as independent games. DA:O was a better game for the PC because of the modding community and the fact that it fixed many problems the game itself had that bioware took too...

    So MovieBob had some crap to say about that there Mass Effect 3 thingy...

    Everytime I hear these words my headaches. Seriously, once I purchase a product the company has no legal obligation to me? Really? So if you bought a car, fresh off the lot. Then in the middle of the night it randomly blew up. You'd be screwed because the carmaker and the lot you bought it...

    Bioware vs. their Fans

    I'd say ubisoft is the more evil of the two. EA Drm comes in the somewhat-friendly form of Origins which is steam-lite. Ubisoft DRM casually abuses puppies on your keyboard then sends you the pics, along with illicit pictures of him and your mom.

    Gamer Entitlement and the PC

    Cheaper games is what the market for used games are for. In all honestly game prices have gone up and rather than decrease sales its increased. If you understand what happened to Australians you'd realize that game companies have no real intention of dropping prices. You'd have to go down...

    Games you want to like but just can't

    Kingdom of Amalur. It had so much potential. I played it a long time but its just too tedious and most the characters you interact with are just too bland. Its a single player MMO, and thats just bad. The quests have no real meaning to it outside of the faction quests. Your player is just...
