:D Oh god.. I'm a die-hard Bungie fan. I think I have purchased, or at least played, every single one of their games except for the Desert Storm game. My gaming laptop has a custom-made desktop composed of images from their Pathways Into Darkness/Marathon universe(s). I own (and wear!) a...

I love you both so very, very much. And of course I agree; although maybe I'm just being stubborn, but I still enjoy the game-play just fine. It doesn't have Doom's brilliantly absurd amounts of mass murder, but it's got enough 'Oomph' for me.

Sudden and/or loud deaths can make me jump - but so can most jump-scares. I particuarly remember shooting at the first(?) lake in Resident Evil 4 on the advice of a "friend". I can distinctly recall knocking over my seat. The very first monster encounter in Dead Space - I can't recall if it...

If I really enjoy it, I can watch it over and over. I've watched Hot Fuzz several bajillion times - watch it until I passed out every night for WAY too long. If that counts as watching it, anyway, haha. But also, if I really enjoy certain parts of a movie or television show, or what have...

Bungie's Marathon series. Despite the fact that it never got the reception it deserved due to being a Mac exclusive (in the beginning), it had many firsts (at least to the FPS world) that were incredibly important. This is, I may as well add, in addition to a frankly ridiculously in-depth story...

I grew up with Ocarina of Time - although I got Majora's Mask, and I remember getting farther in that than I ever did in OoT; at least, legitimately. Too young to give a crap about getting through the story the right way, and just old enough to figure out how the gameshark worked. Man, does...

Good job to NiPah and stoddapb. I bow in respect to your google-fu; mine was simply too weak! This requires more random image-search training. Also, Zen: Those two images you have of the different endings are 10x better than the "Red, Blue, Green explosions" picture. Not as funny, true, but I...

You may be right, but I'm not sure your comparisons are entirely accurate. Not least simply because I don't know many old-folks who inherently hate new technology as it is. Most of them I've met are/were simply fascinated by new things - whether they understand how to use them or not. As for...

I agree with Fawxy. I had never heard of the series - in fact, it wasn't until my... uh... very old, father asked me if I'd like to go see it with him that I decided to go read up on the series. The trailer(s) that I saw were also REALLY stupid; in fact, I immediately thought it was some kind of...

in fact, it was a shiny...

As has been pointed out in the thread, lots of companies and industries do this: I'd almost go so far as to say EVERY industry does this if they can, but that would be an uninformed guess on my part. My reasoning is, again as already stated in the thread, if they build you something that lasts...

Well, I've done a whole lot of sleuthing, but I can't seem to find the picture itself. Maybe you can screen-cap off of the video? Although I did find some other things while searching if you care to look: Bump, in case someone else manages to find the picture you're talking about.

Wait, wait, wait. So now Ridley is saying that Prometheus is NOT a prequel to Alien? Because that was the impression I was under, and I am now much less excited about the movie if that is the case. Hmm... who am I kidding - it will probably still be amazing, and this just means I get to go in...

For some reason I simply do not fathom, Battlefield 3 doesn't have a battle-recorder. I suppose I could go the ridiculous route of buying one of those video recording adapters that all of the Let's Play(ers?) use, but I don't really think it should be MY responsibility to add features to...

I'm not really in the habit of buying games that I don't intend to play. As such, I don't really have much of a back-log. However, I did buy a couple of HD collections, and as such I have a few games I haven't played yet.
