Whiskey in the Jar by Metallica is better than Thin Lizzy, and it's an old Irish diddy, so it's been covered quite a bit. Moon Baby - I prefer the Godsmack version to the Satriani version, but I could see how some people would consider that sacrilege. Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson is...

XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Impossible difficulty. I love the challenge, but I absolutely suck on the hardest setting. EDIT: Finished the game on all other settings, but miss one shot, or get hit by one critical, and the whole edifice just comes crumbling down.

Goodbye Elder Scrolls, looks like I will be skipping one for the first time.

Pocket money from my parents, no. If I wanted pocket money I had to go shovel driveways or rake leaves for people in my neighbourhood.

It is going the way of the Sega Dreamcast. It is a solid console, but people are waiting to see what the PS4 and XBOX1 are going to be like before making the commitment. Dreamcast was a very good console, but most people wanted to see what 360 & PS3 were going to be like first.

100+ hours for Morrowind, 300+ hours for Oblivion, around 100+ hours for Skyrim, Fallout & New Vegas both around 75 hours each... if I added up all the EA NHL games through the years from 1993-2013 it would easily be in the thousands of hours, but in any given year I put in 100-150 hours easy on...

Robocop vs Terminator is kickass on the Genesis, Rock n Roll Racing, Toe Jam n' Earl, Phantasy Star 4 and Shining Force 1 & 2 if you like RPGs, X-MEN Clone Wars, Altered Beast, Streets of Rage 1, 2, & 3. There are quite a few quality Genesis games.

Well said. On top of that, if you don't tip and continue to frequent the same restaurant, you deserve shitty service. As I said in my original post, if you can afford a 40-50 dollar meal, but can't afford a small tip, than go to MacDonalds for a $12 Big Mac combo, bus your own tray, and...

I can't say that I do. I generally only buy new games if I know beyond a shadow of all doubt that I will enjoy the game and get my $60.00 worth. The last batch of games I got was online, 12 games for about $120.00. A few stinkers among the lot, but GTA IV, Arkham Asylum, Call of Juarez, and...

If you can't afford to leave a tip, then stay home and cook for yourself. You tip a waiter/waitress because he/she takes your order, serves you coffee and refills, bring you the food. If you want to bus your own tray and pour your own drink, go get some fast food.

Going with the OP's fighting game example, I hate it when someone is only good with one character, and chooses three of the game guy in games where that is allowed. The example that comes to mind is MK3, where someone would choose 3 Cyrax's and throw the net at you over and over and over again...

Sega Genesis > SNES Single Player > Multi Player. If your game has no redeeming single player value, than it is garbage. No excuse for an 8-10 hour campaign if I'm buying it new for $60. Final Fantasy X was the best FF game. Skyrim > Dark Souls Bioshock was a fine game, I enjoy it...

A remake of Mutant League Hockey on the next-gen. Different game modes to include a sim mode close to an NHL game, an arcade-type mode with more over the top violence and wackiness, and an annihilation mode where the object is essentially to kill the other team. Create-a-Mutant, a GM mode to...

Kick the prick in the nutsack, and stomp his face into the muck.

... depends if my wife is with me or not. :-) j/k
