    Poll: When did you first get into video games?

    My first gaming memory is playing Digger on our first computer -an 8088- somewhere in the early 80's. I must've been about 3 or 4. Never looked back :)

    English Words You've Heard Mangled

    My boss keeps pronouncing "define" as "divine". And I keep seeing Native Americans dance around in a circle around a stack of papers every time some new requirements documents have to be divined :) *My apologies in advance for the generalization. I seems my brain is slightly racist :p

    "YOU CAN STEER THE TORPEDO?" moments

    Actually, I'd consider just throwing a Phoenix Down or X-Potion cheating. It is a legitimate boss, which can be beaten just like any other. Oh and on topic: HOLY CRAP YOU CAN SAVE PAHN??? In Suikoden I, I always assumed that Pahn was destined to lose to Teo since the fight seems impossible...

    When were you a gaming Badass?

    FYI. ADHD does not go away, you just learn to cope (sometimes through the use of meds). OT: Finishing Super Mario Bros around age 10 (which was in the early 90's, yes I'm old :p) 100%-ing Kirby's Adventure without having teh interwebs. Finishing every frickin little thing in FF VII (and...

    Humble THQ Bundle Purchased Nearly 400,000 Times in One Day

    Great offer. Really enjoying Saints Row. Really like the pay-what-you-can-afford scheme. Used to be broke, now I can give back :)

    It even got Piet Piraat, a character from a Belgian TV series for kids :D (albeit on the 2nd attempt)

    Can you beat him? Akinator Web game

    I'm amazed it took him 2 tries to get Smaug. Maybe I just suck at answering questions :D

    Strange language commercials

    Maybe it's just me, but I used to get bumper commercials in my native language (dutch), but this week I seem to be getting them in some scandinavian language (Danish?). Did someone screw up when building the site's fancy new layout (nice looks guys!)?

    'Healthy gamer'

    Ah yes, the fabled healthy gamer. I think you chose the wrong tree to bark up on :)

    How is your music organized?

    In the same way I have been doing it since my 486. Folder for artist (0 through Z) - Folder for album (0 through Z) - %track% - %artist% - %title% Playlists are overrated.

    Explain your username/avatar.

    Name: It's a part of my name (booooooring) Avatar: It's a scene from Settlers 1. Best. Game. Evar! (And it could fit on a 1.44 MB disk)

    Unskippable: Blood Stone

    I think the graphic designers may have been in the Lambda Eta Sigma fraternity, and this is them trying to put their signature in the movie :) And if they really wanted a greek last letter couldn't they've just used the ending sigma, which looks just as much (or maybe more) like a current-day...

    A useless fact you know

    The fact that you want us to put this into practice disqualifies it as a useless fact.
