Ah, double post. My bad.

Since both Thief 2 and BioShock are on the list, I HIGHLY recommend System Shock 2. Same developers as Thief 2 and BioShock, great voice acting and atmosphere, and very simple to run. My EEE netbook does just fine with it. One thing though, you may have to pirate it, since it isn't sold on...

24, Blackadder, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Fawlty Towers.

I'm excited about it. I only read the book after playing BioShock, which was and is my favorite game of all time. I loved the book, and am glad that it is being made into film. Rand wrote it without specifying any specific time period, so putting it in modern times helps relate the principles...

The irony of you saying this with a Fluttershy profile picture is too much for me to take.

"Wow, this has been a weird day. My plane crashed, now I've lost my birthday present, swam to a lighthouse, and descended into a fallen Objectivist utopia in a submarine. To top it off, I've now killed a total of 20 men with a pipe wrench, shot myself up with about 50 used needles full of God...

23. Give all crew members packets of thick red paint to be carried on their person at all times to be used in emergency wall-writing. It lets them convey all the seriousness of writing in blood, but without the necessity of injury. Loved and agree with #10

The prompt is a little vague. If you mean Citizen Kane's equivalent in terms of public perception as the best movie of all time, then it just comes down to each poster's opinion on what the greatest video game of all time was. If you mean it only in the limited sense of changing the...

KoTOR is the better of the two, but they're both fantastic games made by one of the best studios out there. You can't go wrong with either. Also, yes, Taris is a bit slow. Once you escape the planet, it really picks up. Please give it some time. If you play KoTOR one, I strongly advise the...

For PC Exclusives (in this order) 1. System Shock 2 2. Deus Ex (PS2 port doesn't count) 3. Thief 2: The Metal Age Honorable Mentions: Starcraft 1 and 2, Minecraft, and Civilization 4 For PC Games that are available on other systems (in this order) 1. BioShock 2. Knights of the Old...

Yes, I have read that article. And yes, it is fantastic and eye-opening. I never got the chance to play the original System Shock, so a lot of it was new to me. Is the original good, in your opinion? How good, compared to SS2?

Actually, lemme clarify something. I misrepresented SS2 to be less than it is. System Shock 2 had better overall gameplay than BioShock. Not just the HUD and inventory, etc. Although SS2's is the best HUD/interface I've ever seen in a video game. (Deus Ex is a close second.) And not that...
