Gosh. I still do re-enact movie scenes to myself sometimes ^^

Terrible reenactments?

Speak for yourself, Mr. "Kane" Pitts, my gritty docudrama remake of Toy Story was AWESOME

Even though it's sometimes a good thing, like the grappling hook, it can mostly cause immense amounts of annoyance at how irrelevant and obsolete user generated content is.

Light of the Warp rocked.

I first got into modding my games when I started playing Unreal Tournament. I tried coming up with a character skin or two but I never got the hang of the whole papercraft thing you laid it out on.
I probaly would've made voice mods for it but someone else had already made one for George Carlin and another for Pulp Fiction, so I didn't see the need.
If you remember, Cliffy B made many of the extra levels for that game.

I was again impressed when I popped UT3 into my ps3 and found out that I could mod the game in my console.

I remember Quake, though was never an avid player. Quake 2 however, I ruled that game. Sidewinder gamepad in one hand, trackball in the other. My Quake days died with number 3, though. I just hated the cartoons. (Much the reason I hate WoW and other games designed to appeal to toddlers, I just can't treat them as serious efforts in gaming.)

By the way Russ, I hate you now; I can't get that song out of my head.

Interesting timing - right as major companies are beginning to deliberately strip all possible user control *off* games such as Modern Warfare.
