Wow I can’t believe some of you are still here. It’s been so long ago, but I still recognize some of you. Take care all of you, I don’t expect the site will be around much longer at this point.

Thanks for this, I just started playing this after picking it up on the summer sale. The stop wasting my time is of particular interest as I thought it was silly that after shooting the soldier just sits there for a minute (to evaluate and decide if they did a good job?) before control is...

I wish. Just for one game. EDIT: Let me clarify this - I mean the games weren't designed and tested for these people. The developers didn't think through their technique, except with this one game. What I hated about the Kinect was it wasn't really for adult gamers - the controls are...

Ok, forgive me I'm trying to understand what you're getting at here with Borderlands as an example. So based on what you've said, this is what I'm understanding your meaning - but if you could answer my questions to clarify I would appreciate it. - No leveled weapons - meaning no level...

Oh wow this thread really goes down the rabbit hole. Well, let's dive into this thing shall we? So what you're saying is that 1 of every 2 items should have some use - does that mean equipping it? Breaking it down into components (which is a whole other problem because now you're managing...

That's a sad thing about these AAA devs and their IPs. When their worlds are so well crafted and thought out like the DA or ME universe, there should be room for other genres within that. I would love to see a XCOM style ME game that doesn't even touch the stories of the other games - just...

AH! I love that song. "Taking control of the elephants" and "touching up all of the elephants" - and I hope you hear it now too. I think I heard it from iTunes on an ambient playlist. It's hard sometimes to find music that is similar to other songs because they're grouped by album/artist...

How did I miss this when it originally posted? I love lists. I don't agree with everything on it - but I have to say that Borderlands and General Knox's Armory is something that I think the developers realized the players wanted; more voice work, story, and just funny dialogue. Looking back...

Wow. You just made me realized why I didn't like the Clark Kent parts of the Superman movies when I was a kid. That guy was nothing like Superman - and I wanted to see Superman, not some regular guy. He played the part so well distancing himself that he truly seemed like a different guy. I...

That sounds delicious. Well guess I know what I gotta buy today. I want to see you doing this with a can of spam. Adam never asked for this. :( Seriously though, once I leave this job I'm sure there will be other gaming forums that I'll be able to access without crazy internet...

Couldn't have said it better Elijan. Bindal it sounds like you're just wanting to complain about it, that every experience isn't being tailored to you. I'm glad there's report options for a teammate that just disconnects or doesn't contribute, if you decide to just hang out in spawn because...

You know what, NO. NO. NO! I'm not going to go out like that. Bubsy and Accolade and all you bastards that made this abomination you sit right the hell down and listen to me for a minute. I mean, they could've pulled a Conker's Bad Fur Day with this thing, switched Bubsy up so he's gone...

BUBSY THE CAT! I specifically ordered you to remain dead! I remember renting this for the SNES thinking it could be like Sega's Sonic - the art style was the same and it looked like it would be a fast paced game. Nope. My initial thoughts when I read this post. Those of you that never...

I know it's not the same as competitive, I had a guy last night on capture the flag playing Roadhog running away from the flag as they were taking it for a second time. "Just let them win" he said, and then at some point disconnected. I guess that one capture was just too much for him to take...
