    Any Other Games Like This?

    I've been having a lot of fun lately with Planetside 2. The classes all have comparable primary guns and sidearms, allowing any class to take part in the action, while the classes give you different tactical options. Even the Medic and Engineer get decent rifles so you can customize your play...

    What games would you make your children play?

    I always avoided Pokemon as a kid. I was a few years older than the target market when it came out, and I was resentful of the attention it took away from my chosen game, M:tG. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago, when my girlfriend's 7 year old daughter (who, I'm told, has me wrapped around...

    Recommend me some hip-hop

    Not a single mention of Dan Bull? Wow, I thought here of all places... Dan raps about gaming, politics, world events, etc... Anyway, I'm too lazy to look up link tags, so hit him up on Youtube. Just think of the game you've been playing recently, and see if he's got a song for it.

    Who was your first crush?

    In 2nd grade I met a girl named Katie. I had an instant crush on her, but she never reciprocated. I do owe her a debt of gratitude, though, as she was one of the few girls in that school who treated me like a person. Also, she knew that I had this crush on her for many years and was a good...

    Nonviolent Gameplay Options

    I can't help it. I used to laugh like crazy playing the "Dark Side" solutions in KotOR and Jade Empire, but over the years I've chilled out a bit, and now if a game offers me a non-violent or non-lethal solution to a conflict, I feel honor-bound to take that route. (Dishonored, Deus Ex:HR, etc.)...

    I think I'm about to be dumped.

    Breaking up always sucks, but just hang in there. Remember that you are still a complete and healthy person even on your own. Long term relationships get so tangled in breakups because you've been with this one person with whom you've shared everything for a long time, and it's tough sometimes...

    Things you just don't "get".

    My best guess would be the authors' insecurities matching up with those of the target audience. Reading about a character who has the same self-esteem issues as you might make them more appealing, especially in cases where the character has very little in the way of other noticeable personality...

    Your favorite non-first party Nintendo 64 game?

    Easy: Conker's Bad Fur Day. It's also close to the only 3rd party game I played for N64 besides Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, though.

    I think you guys might wanna play this.

    Having this image at the bottom of nearly every page made my stomach drop in its accuracy. http://www.beesgo.biz/dq/level1.gif I have to remember to send some kind of a thank-you note to the author and the OP for bringing this to my attention. I guess I just hadn't considered the...

    Video game villains that made you angry

    Anybody remember Fable 2? Reaver. That son of a ***** betrayed me more times than should ever be allowed in a game where I can't kill plot-related NPCs. He killed the photograph guy, sent me on a fool's errand to steal my youth, sold me out to the main bad guy, and while said villain was...

    DmC: Devil May Cry - Honest Opinions

    Rupert Murdoch (spelling?) is the owner of all things related to the Fox Network in the US. I have to agree that the cartels are a much more immediate problem for Mexico. Though you may want to keep in mind that attempting to control the global economy through strategic use of debt and...

    DmC: Devil May Cry - Honest Opinions

    First off, I completely agree with your first paragraph, (especially with the Max Payne 3 comparison)you hit the nail square on the head with that one. I also think that DMC4 could've been a much better game without Nero, and giving his Devil Arm to Dante as a... well... (I see what you did...

    DmC: Devil May Cry - Honest Opinions

    Sorry in advance for the wall of text Honestly, I don't know how you can all be so upset. DMC1 was a looooong time ago. Go back and play it again, then tell me with a straight face that the story was great, the characters were endearing and the dialogue was believable. From what I've...

    You can say one sentence and everyone on earth will hear it.

    I would say something like the following: Our current international banking system is unsustainable and to prevent a global economic disaster we must begin work on a stable public system that will not lead toward an irreversible chain of financial collapse. Yeah, it's over by a few words...
