    The Sims 2 And All 18 of Its Expansions Are Free on Origin

    For people on Windows Vista/7/8 who are having issues, make sure you set the program's compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 3). If you still get issues with crashes, you can try this fix [http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=5446], which worked for me.

    What do you think of the x series by egosoft?

    Loved the hell out of X3. So many things to do in that game, and that's before you start on mods. X-Rebirth, though... Yeah, pretty much what Elfgore said. Also, side note on the bad AI; part of the problem is likely that your SETA factor is too high. If you max your SETA and don't have a...

    Please turn in your geek card, sir/madam.

    I didn't think Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was that bad. It really, really wasn't, IMO. It may not have been as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark, but it was still alright. Heck, I think the same about the Star Wars prequels; they may not have been as good as the...

    Protagonists you just can't stand.

    Let's see, where did I leave that..? Ah, yes: Given that Shinn's one of the protagonists of GSD, this counts. And I'm not even kidding about having to literally keep myself from punching my computer screen, he was that bad.

    Everyone can fly! Now what?

    How fast can we go? Or, more precisely, how much thrust can we generate? Is it dependent on how happy we feel? Do we use up energy by doing this? How many scientists will commit suicide now that any random schmuck can break thermodynamics? Because depending on how those questions are answered...

    Inventive or creative health systems in video games

    Dwarf Fortress. Hit points? What are you talking about? You die when you bleed out, suffocate, or take a good hit to the head. Why would your life and death be determined by a bunch of points which will keep you in perfect condition until you run out, at which point you die instantly?

    Fictional characters you wish you could punch in the face?

    Ah. Been a while since I saw GSD, sorry. Dude, leave it alone. He's one of those people from the HP fandom. They don't listen to reason. Because I can basically guarantee that his "reasons" for hating Ginny likely either A) Make no sense, or B) Are "She proved my Harry/Hermione ship...

    Fictional characters you wish you could punch in the face?

    Joffrey. He deserves it oh so much. And Cersei. And Danaerys, she needs some sense knocked into her, though she might have gotten better by the end of Dance with Dragons, I don't know. It wasn't very clear. And Theon Greyjoy. And Shinji Ikari from Evangelion. I know he's got problems, and his...

    I can now play gamecube games on my PC. What old underrated game should I play first?

    Custom Robo was great, you should definitely give it a try. Also Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, because those were awesome. I like Custom Robo Arena quite a bit; it was what got me interested in Custom Robo. Though I agree that CR was better in story, graphics, and characters, I prefer CRA's...

    Criticize Your All Time Favorite Game...HARSHLY

    The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Graphics are astonishingly bad, though mods can fix this for minimal FPS hit. - Melee combat is frustratingly hard until you get a high enough skill level to hit things on a regular basis. - It is way, way too easy to break the game using exploits. - Some...

    Cadbury Crafts Heat-Resistant Chocolate

    Hey, I like Hershey bars >:( Definitely not the best thing around, but they're still good, so I can't really bring myself to care. OT:

    Elder scrolls- two steps forward, two steps back?

    I, personally, enjoy the heck out of old-school turn-based RPGs. I also enjoy the heck out of newer action games, and action-RPGs. Is it somehow wrong for me to like that style of game? Maybe something about planning out stats and skills and battle strategies that don't rely on my reflexes...

    Return to Morrowind With New Skyrim: Dragonborn Screenshots

    Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. Now back to being massively hyped for this DLC! *Runs off in a random direction celebrating in a decidedly loud and obnoxious way*
