    Poll: Is it [wrong] to name a child after a [video game character]?

    Its mostly fine if it is a name that sounds like a legit name and not something completely made up or ridiculous. Ok so ill use League of Legends for these examples. Names like Lux, Darius, Viktor, Caitlyn, Ashe, Fiora, Jayce, Kayle, etc would names that are used or similar to names that people...

    Next Metal Gear Solid May Be Too Controversial to Release

    The problem is he went and made MGS3 which was perfection and was fuel to the endless hungering of the MGS fan base. Onto the topic at hand. Honestly there is little risk outside of getting an AO rating that would prevent sales of a true MGS title (even then AO would still sell quite well...

    Poll: Your Weapon of Choice?

    Depends on the setting of the game. In Medieval/Fantasy: Crossbows and Flails (tie) Modern Era: Light Machine Guns and Semi-Auto Battle Rifles (another tie) Future Era: Gauss Technology When it comes to guns in a game, the most important aspect is the feel and sound of the weapon. I want a...

    Explain the Populatity of Civilization Games

    For me some of the reasons I like Civ games is because each play through is its own unique set of events that I have direct control on the direction I take in the game. Its the depth of strategy in how you create a gameplan, explore the world, deal with the other nations, and react/create...

    Why illegalizing guns will not work in the U.S

    How about we talk less about "removing all the guns" and talk about improving the health care system so people can get affordable mental health care and also spread public awareness so people better understand mental illness. Events like school killings are not caused by access to guns but...

    The *Last* Game You'll Ever Play.

    I would say Civ 4 but I have been playing a new X-Com playthrough at least 1-2 times a year so it kinda already is my "play this forever game"

    The WoW Killer has finally arrived

    I fail to see how CRZ has much in relation with being corpse camped and node farming. Its the launch of a new expo which everybody racing to the next level cap and every resource and quest mob being in extremely high demand so if your on a PvP realm then expect a ton of murders. I guess for...

    Poll: Fallout: New Vegas ending discussion. (obvious spoilers) Also, which one of the DLC should I buy?

    Honest Hearts made me feel either unlucky or stupid because at the very start my caravan crew died and EVERYBODY was hostile to me so it completely broke the quest line. Basiclly it turned into a giant sandbox of kill everything because I had nothing to do except clear a path out of the zone...

    Could an action-RPG work without leveling up?

    Yeah i was about to post GTA:SA then i saw your post. Basically having the goal of improving your skill instead of achieving an experience point where you go from level A to level B is more realistic to how people get better than Billy doing yard work until he levels and suddenly he improves...

    MOBA champions you wish you could play.

    As a jungler in LoL wish I could play Udyr but holy crap every time i play him i feel completely useless in team fights (not enough CC to be that disruptive, not enough damage to be a threat, not tanky enough to soak hits for my team) Also I wish I could play Twitch because i use to jungle...

    Games you didn't like, but you liked the idea of

    100% Spore. The game on paper sounds great but the end result was a game that was 5 mini games joined together. It just completely lacked any depth for a concept that is potentially limitless in what could be done.

    Fallout 4 theories

    Personally I would really enjoy playing from the perspective of an Enclave vault that hasn't been in direct communication with the rest of the enclave network since the time the bombs fell. Basically if you look at the Enclave they are the US government and outside of the crazy schemes that the...

    Ocarina of Time is... Kinda overated.

    I think OOT gets hyped so much because of the impact it had (along with mario 64) on gaming. Everything about the game was well executed and is the proper transition from a 2D game series into the 3D gaming. At the time nothing really compared and it set the bar high for games of that generation...

    Poll: Is there a solution to mass shootings?

    The solution to "mass shootings" is a proper health care system that can provide the help for those who suffer from psychological illness, a community that is aware of the impact and how to help those who suffer from these illnesses. Also we need to stop making shootings massive media events...

    Series That You Loved That Were Prematurly Cancelled

    Mission Hill. Damn you The WB for dropping the ball on a great animated series.
