BAAAAATTLETOOOOADS! That damn hoverbike section is still impossible. But slightly more recently: BioShock, I just find in... uninteresting and it completely fails to hold my attention while constantly reminding me that it's Systemshock lite.

I see several problems with this. 1 - It's multiplatform, and I will pay 4 cookies to the first person to name me a good multi-platform RTS/TBS. 2 - the phrase "getting rid of tedium and uninteresting mechanics" translates quite easily into "Getting rid of all the depth and choice which...

Non-puzzles, that serve to do nothing but make you waste time. This can be because you're either pixelhunting in an FPS, or because the game requires you to make numerous perfect jumps in only one specific section (Duke Nukem forever). Super-sudden quicktime events that happen extremely rare...

Mostly I've saved not-so-cute animals, like frogs and toads. Some of them were really really small, like pinky fingernail small which might make them somewhat cute... And I've saved a baby deer from a deep trench along the road, for which the cute little guy rewarded me with a kick hard...

The only game I didn't finish was Battletoads for the Megadrive. Not really a boss, but that bloody hoverbike level. I still can't beat it, it's my one great shame.

So I'm commander Sheppard, fighting the Zerg in medieval Japan? I'd play this game

Nobody else... that's a short list... Evil Genius 2 would be great. Baldur's Gate 3, but only if it's as good as 2. Outpost 3. I played sooooo much Outpost 2, it's pretty much the reason (and method) I learned english. Sorry, that doesn't count. Half this forum wants a Dungeon Keeper 3 :p

You're correct. All the electronic security and the best password in the world is no match for some retard just handing out login info.

I find it hard to believe various governments don't already have a few people to check in on certain unnamed imageboards across the wide internets. Also, shouldn't this concern lead to making those "sensitive government, military, and corporate files" a bit more secure? Like say, on a server...

I breezed through 'highschool', doing maybe an hour of homework a week. In uni, this was multiplied about 10-fold, allowing me to finish what is supposed to be a 40-hour-a-week education in about 25 hours a week, for most of my three years (the exception being the last 4 months, and probably...

Atlas. No, not that kind of atlas, this kind of atlas: http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4413/atlasqx1.jpg

"In other news: Sales of xbox 360 games plummet as Microsoft removes 1 million potential customers from the market." Yeah, not having an email function works great against spam. My car's never suffered a landing gear malfunction, therefore, it's better than an air plane. Is it because console...

Best: I can't believe nobody's mentioned Lara Croft... Or Jill Valentine Worst: Either Slippy from starfox (Do a barrelroll) Or the horribly annoying girl from Ico

Uhhh... no If A = B + C and B = C then A = B + B = 2B so girls = 2*Money

A biologist, a mathematician and a physicist are all watching an empty building. They see a man and a women enter, later, two men and a women leave. "Aha", says the biologist, "they've reproduced!" "No," says the physicist, "our initial presumption must have been wrong." "Well," says the...
