    Fake plastic instrument games...what the hell happened?

    Considering that a lot of the best stuff in RB3 is from the '80s, that's more encouragement than warning. I saw T MMXL before I ever saw the original, though, and prefer it. It's so much more animated.

    Fake plastic instrument games...what the hell happened?

    I still have RB3 and still play it. The pro guitar just *****d me off, but the rest of it's fun. Unfortunately, the lightweight MadCatz guitar (for elves) has utterly died and the solid, reliable Logitech guitar is for ogres and half-trolls. It's great. It feels like you could use it to fight...

    I think I've found the gayest singer ever.

    These are both very good questions. None of them can be as gay as Freddie Mercury, though. He died of AIDS which is like having HIV squared and HIV is the ultimate badge of gayness ... and you may think that's offensive because the notion that HIV is a gay disease is so outdated, but what's...

    Careful. That button could be this one in disguise!

    The Cool Armour Thread

    There's a lot to be said for Vader's armour in terms of it being black and effective, although Pink Five pointed out a drawback to the design. Ordinators in Morrowind? Man, I hated their armour and I hated them. It had a drawback, too: it wasn't soundproof, so I could hear their racist bile...

    are you one of the users that does this?

    I didn't know Peter Parker was a Brony. Did that come out in the recent "origin story all over again" film? I suppose it could make for an interesting race through a sufficiently 3D course, Spiderman, Fluttershy (I'm guessing from the name she flies) and maybe a blue-side (City of Heroes term...

    Ahhhhh ... *checks post count* *closes curtains* *undresses* Hmm. Nope. Still female. Must have a long way to go yet. :p If it's a thread in which I've already taken part, I may post links to the previous version(s) of the thread, because quite often the advice, opinions, poll results...

    A question to those who have at some point been punched in the face.

    Pretty much what you described, although teeth did hurt afterwards. That of the worthless little ****'s jaw connecting with my knuckles. It was followed by the interesting sound of a lamp-post hitting the back of his head. I still regret not hitting him again, but he had friends across the...

    Why do we keep doing this?

    I have no problem with people who buy them, like them, play them, like them, play them more, still like them and buy sequels. That's fine with me. It's people who try to shout each other down for two hours a week where I'm trying to have a relaxing break that get on my nerves. After the 100th...

    Why do we keep doing this?

    I think they're part of an attempt to bring back Darwinian evolution. The idea was the create two series of the same game with different but similar and, in some cases, overlapping titles and then shoot all the idiots who spent more than an hour of their lives arguing about whether Call Of...

    Your most evil gaming atrocities

    The only people I decided I could stand were the Ashlanders. You'd expect them to be hardcore nationalist hillbillies with an attitude problem but it turned out that Bethesda had made the townsfolk unpleasant and most of the country folk perfectly decent as long as you minded your manners...

    Things besides guns we should ban to give ourselves the delusion of safety

    Technical point: by preventing the development of cancer, heart disease, diabetes or CJD you are not, in fact, preventing any deaths. You can only postpone them. If you want to push life expectancy to 150 you'd better be prepared to push retirement age to at least 100.

    Things besides guns we should ban to give ourselves the delusion of safety

    How would we go about banning religious extremism? Using official data released by the Department of Transport, this map plots the location of every fatal road crash in Great Britain between 1999 and 2008, a total of 32,298 deaths. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8401344.stm] ... This is 11...

    Your most evil gaming atrocities

    Morrowind. You know Vivec, the main city of Vardenfell, the big place with the irrationally-designed cantons and the underground and that racist b____ with the magic dagger killing "Outlanders" and anyone else who gets in her way? The place where it can take half an hour to move 100m on the map...
