Why has nobody said it yet? Eye of the Tiger. /Thread.

I'm a PC gamer, and think Halo 1 (haven't played the rest) wasn't all that bad. I voiced this opinion among my other PCGamer friends - the response was disturbing. I felt like I'd just got caught smiling at an emo party.

Hmm. If you just listen to the audio, it sounds like an innovative enjoyable game. If you watch the video, however, what you see is a laggy messy clusterfuck.

Mount&Blade. I did more than invade a castle or two, or even an entire region - I conquered the entire damn world and unified it under my banner. Good feeling, that.

Dawn Star from Jade Empire, because she has slender feminine arms but wide manly shoulders, making her look about as anatomically correct (and thus, about as aesthetically pleasing or desirable) as a four year old's stick figure.

Hmm. Isn't the SoT Prince now technically the King of Persia, making it impossible for him to be the main character in a chronological sequel?

Pokemon World Online. It's sad, nerdy, not even a very well-made program...but it's Pokemon. With full multiplayer.

I just want to hear Mr.Thompson's argument for getting rid of it. I'm sure he can connect it with some shooting or other.

We are many. We are strong. We are Legion.

"Give a player a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a player how to fish and he'll turn up to the next session having purchased Complete Angler, and will be dual-wielding Shocking Burst fishing rods."

The Operative from Serenity.

I don't know if Bethesda consciously rely on modders, but I do know that myself and numerous others buy Bethesda's games because we know we can mod the fuck out of them. Vanilla Oblivion is, in my opinion, a very generic fairly pretty first person sword-swinger - with some magic and stealth...

This is very true. I have yet to meet a nightlife-ing girl over here of any quality at all - but I prefer bookworms and quieter types, anyway.

They didn't get *American* recognition until they toured in America. OT: As a Brit myself,...meh. We're alright. On the whole, I prefer American accents to the majority of English accents I've come across. That said, some American accents are atrocious.
