    Strangest thing you get paranoid about.

    Suggestion for an alternative way of financing (starting) developers

    Interesting idea, but I'm not entirely sold on the millions scale. These sorts of games are produced almost solely by big developers who already have the funding. Now for indie developers, with a range of like 10k-250k, having this system in place and working would be sweet. It takes a lot of...

    What game(s) have you completely given up on?

    I gave up in Spore when it got all "Now you have to go and befriend other tribes, buddy.".. how about no? Got fed up with Fallout:NV when I realised the game wanted me to go into New Vegas and any exploration was far too dangerous because of my level, but I'll get back to it. Hitman, Splinter...

    Doctor factors in Grand Theft Auto to Porn

    Points for killing prostitutes? No. Money? Yes. Just like every other civillian in the game, so it's not exactly making a point of killing prostitutes. The level of violence involved has absolutely nothing to do with the amount of money rewarded. I've played, in total, easily 200+ hours of the...

    COD gameplay features you take for granted

    After playing L4D2, I tend to take the standard "melee elbow" for granted..causes the biggest problem when I switch to a game where "Mouse 2" is an alt. fire GRENADE.

    Exclusive games for the PS3

    Unless they've announced differently, I'm afraid that the first bullet point for the "Welcome Back program" is: "* For eligibility for the welcome back programme consumers must be an account holder on 20 April 2011." [source] Sorry D: Aside from that, I bought the PS3 for GT5 and MGS4, but...

    Poll: Your Minecraft Avatar

    Haha, nah, I honestly don't play much Minecraft sadly, and when I do it's only with a small group of people D: I may also have used an avatar based on a Pokemon trainer, made and used for the same reasons.

    Poll: Your Minecraft Avatar

    Made a guy with an 8-Ball for a head because I was bored. Decided to stick with it.

    You can Complain about anything you want here

    I hate water in games. Mario controls like he's swimming through shit whenever it's a water level. Bad things always hang around in the water, and they always move faster than you (Half Life) Sometimes water just kills you outright for a laugh. (GTA: VC, Assassin's Creed) Other times it...

    Why do you post?

    Nine times out of ten, I'll type an entire comment, proofread and restructure it twice for readability and then delete it and close the tab. It's usually in the restructuring that I think "..but who really cares anyway?" and abandon the notion of posting. I only post when I click post before...

    Quotes that you hate

    I'm not a massive fan of quotes in general, it just seems like borrowing a spine for your argument because you were unable to provide your own. That's when they're used in context; quotes used out of context are diabolical.

    How do you feel about Zombies?

    Zombies, 3D and motion controls all seem to be something everything must have one or more of at the moment. We'll all get bored of them again once they release "Waving Arms Zombie Killer 3D" and it's terrible. On the other hand, I'm glad zombies are getting the big exposure in games and...

    Games that get it right.. almost.

    This, I really enjoyed the game up to the point where I realised the missions are mostly "Kill this building and then some others and then this one." I'm happy that they're pleased with their building demolition mechanic but it's really not impressive any more after the 50th time.

    Poll: Minecraft: Like it or hate it?

    I played it non-stop at first but recently I've been losing interest. There's only so much I can think of to do in the game, and I've done pretty much all of it. Perhaps playing online will spark some new interest, but I'm not holding out too much hope.

    Video Game Hoarding. I think I may have a problem.

    I have to admit, it took a ton of willpower to stop myself from buying so much in the recent Steam sale, it's just so damn easy.. I must have like 160ish games on there now, 20 of which I've completed and easily 50 I've never even booted up once. I also have around 150 games between the...
