    What game to play with my extrovert girlfriend?

    Spending 3 months away from my wife was the most difficult time of our marriage. Anyway, play Minecraft with Skype. My friends and I skype/minecraft all the time when we want to catch up on each other's lives. It's a great way to keep in touch. You can talk without the game taking up too much...

    So I'm digging out my old PS1

    Yeah, Final Fantasy 9 is actually better than 8. You can kindof see the influence it has on other FFs though, (how there are billions of different talking creatures that have no purpose other than to be "unique") but FF9 actually does this well.. It's FF10 and 12 that use it pointlessly.

    Poll: Are board games dead?

    Settlers of Catan, Deplomacy.... Plenty of great games with great followings. If people think video games are an upgrade to board games, they're wrong. They're very much different things. It's easier to socialize during a board-game. Although you may not care about socializing until you're...

    Little things in game engines that the devs always seem to miss

    1: I'm curious about this one. Maybe they're concerned people won't know what's going on if they're falling relentlessly fast. It's frustrating in Skyrim when I die from falling when I don't feel as I've been falling fast enough for death. HOWEVER: Mirror's Edge gets this right. When you fall...

    Games you didn't like... but finished anyway

    I cannot tell you how many times I've tried finishing that game. Apparently it's way better with friends, but I just can't get my head around it. I want to love that game, but it's so boring.. everything is so repetitive. But as far as games I finished that I didn't want to... Fallout New...

    Poll: Muslim female "gang" beat up English women, but not jailed

    Exactly, you're completely responsible for what you consume. If you take mushrooms and end up killing 5 children, you take responsibility, even if you don't remember doing it.

    Why is Misanthropy ok but racism taboo?

    I see your racism, and I raise you "being against homosexuality". (I'm all in, btw.... as it were)

    Trying to get into Doctor Who, failing...

    If you're that stingy about shows. Watch the entire Season 3. Then go back and start at Season 1 again. (and I mean season 1 2005 ERA.. not the one from the 60s)

    American Humour is Terrible

    Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait.. Real American humor could be defined as Mark Twain. But if you're talking about movies and TV shows: Watch Tootsie, starring Dustin Hoffman Watch Arrested Development, starring Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, etc. Watch Ferris Beuler's Day off, starring...

    Worst game PURCHASE you ever made.

    The Last Remnant. It was on sale last year for 7$ on Steam. Every couple months I forget how much I hate that game and attempt playing it again. It's got all the worst aspects of JRPGs

    Recommend Me Some Good Books

    If you're avoiding Lord of the Rings because of its length. Read "The Hobbit". It's more interesting in terms of story, (LOTR is good, but it's written partially as a "History", so it isn't well paced). Read the "Earth Sea" trilogy. 3 (technically 4) fantasy books which are very interesting...

    I think Lulzec are funny.

    Yeah, the reason most cultures have youngins respect the older* and youngies know they should listen to adults when they say "stfu, eat your oatmeal", is because when kids are given the power to do what they want, they make really dumb decisions, because they think it's best, because they think...
