    Problems you have had to face because of your gender

    I can't bring myself to go to the gym anymore because I'm a guy and can't lift very much. I also don't have a lot of experience at 19 (*gasp* why weren't you starting weight training at age 12?). So even though I like exercising and lifting weights, I rarely do anymore because of all the...

    Poll: Emma Watson's Speech on Gender Equality

    Well this thread much too far along for this to be meaningful put what harm is throwing yourself against a brick wall? What I don't get is why all these feminists who supposedly are out to champion the cause of "equality" which is "supposed" to apply to everyone, don't take up the position of...

    Silent Hills Concept Trailer: You May Never Sleep Again

    I agree with some of what has been said. There was so much going on and it was all right there happening in your face. The thing that made the good Silent Hill games good was atmosphere. The fact that a lot of times the place was actually empty. But the ambient sound was creepy as crap and you...

    Games we want but aren't holding our breath for

    So I know its coming out fairly soon but I'm going to just end up waiting on the Witcher 3. I absolutely adored the Witcher 2 but had to download a god code mod just to get through the parts of the game that I liked because the combat was so heinous. So I fully expect the Witcher 3 to be the...

    Are Valve even AWARE of how badly they're screwing up?

    Could it be that Valve is one of the very few companies that understands letting something have a great run, come to a conclusion and be over while it is still good? Could it be they understand that releasing a sequel of an IP every year or every few years even, makes them part of the samey...

    Your favourite boss in a video game

    The final boss fight with Ganon at the end of Twilight Princess. Like five parts, tense swordplay, and lots of different styles of combat

    Your best gaming experience, ever?

    Several of mine have been said already so I'm going to throw out Thomas was Alone. It was such a simple game in every way but so much feelz. The score, the lovely British narration, all the different characters that made those funny little quadrilaterals come to life *sniff* so beautiful.

    Poll: Game of Thrones: Which 'The Mountain' actor do you prefer?

    From the tiny amount of screen time he's had to this point, I kind of prefer the Season 1 Mountain. He seemed more like a crazy strong dude with notorious brutal anger issues and less like a body builder playing a brute. The beard and grizzled look seems to fit him better (from the perspective...

    How vindictive are you?

    My vindictive side comes out bad when I'm driving. If I see somebody pull a dick move, I seem to turn into a bigger dick to them: boxing them in, slowing down if I'm in front of them, and things like that. Nothing horribly dangerous, but I can't say I'm proud of it.

    Bargain bin games you found by chance and love

    Its actually how I ended up getting in to Mass Effect. Best $10 I had spent in a long while.

    Darksiders Not Dead, Nordic "Committed" to Continue Series - Update

    I think this just made my day. Like literally, I have been heartbroken ever since I heard about Darksiders getting bought up when THQ went under and then stuck on the dusty back shelf. But there may be hope yet! I do agree with you but I also feel that for what it was, the setting was a good...

    Xbox Director of Development: Xbox One Effectively a Super-Computer Design

    Wasn't a big selling point of the Xbone the fact that it was super family friendly, all integrated and therefore, you don't have to be a skilled coder in order to even make it run in a fashion that can be competitive to another console? Microsoft screwed up AGAIN and underspeced their console...

    Games you'd love to see another entry for...but probably won't

    This thread is long enough this reply is fruitless but gosh dangit, I want them to finish the Darksiders saga. I so thoroughly enjoy everything about them that whenever I think about my fond memories of gameplay they are overshadowed by this big gloomy cloud of remorse for the fact that IF there...

    School Controversies!

    I was in Chinese class my 10th grade year when we went into lock down because this happened: http://www.komonews.com/news/local/132669348.html It was actually really shocking for my sleepy little town but it happened nonetheless. Other than that, my school is probably one of the most...

    Xbox One Users With Bad Reputation Will Lose Privileges

    So uh... welcome to the real world? You meet rude people everywhere. Public transit, restaurants, work, school, any random public place you might happen to be. I could understand like aiming to reduce cyber bullying or some such but what the heck? Revoking so called privileges that you PAID...
