    Most suicidal moment in gaming that actually worked

    Mercenaries. I was just fooling with the game, cheating like nobody's business (Portable Airstrike, anyone?), and dropped a gunship in the middle of the chinese airport. It was too damaged to go on, if the fact that it was BURNING was any indication, so I bailed and ran for a while. I rounded a...

    Is the best meal the one you make yourself?

    Best meal is an excellent, rare steak, that you didn't pay too much for. It's getting hard to get your meat cooked rare in restaurants in the States.

    Does being drunk affect your gaming performance?

    I can't play RPG's. It's hard to read when you've got double-vision. "So... that says Attack, right? Okay... no, wait, don't HEAL, STOP HEALING!" But FPS and open-world games get a LOT more fun. I always enjoy a good, drunken round of Mercenaries.

    Postal Pushes Away Viewers at Free Event

    "He asserted, "We don't spare any group. We don't want to hurt anybody but we want to break the rules. We want to make people think: What is a taboo? We want to make people start thinking about their own boundaries and rules."" I want to make people think: Why is Uwe Boll still directing movies?

    Games You Regret Selling/Quitting

    Star Wars: Dark Forces, for Playstation. I beat it, but when you slapped in the cheat code (I still remember it), it just got brutally fun, to see what kind of cruel things you could do to enemies. I still have the disc, but it's so messed up now all it does is make a really irritating grinding...

    Poll: Talk about the adverisement banner you see when you first enter this thread.

    Popcap Games, or w/e the name of those guys who made Bejeweled is. I hate that game, by the way; it ate my boss's mind for about a month.

    *SPOILER* Indiana Jones......

    As I said to my friend, who kept scoffing at the aliens (and I'm sorry if this bit offends anyone), "Look... He's found the Ark of the Covenant, and the Holy Grail. I'd say the aliens are slightly MORE plausible than a "radio for talking to god," and a wooden cup that infuses immortality into...

    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, a realistic review by a die hard Indy Fan

    A lot of people were bagging on the aliens, but I thought they were okay. I mean, Indiana's found the Ark, and the Grail, and watched a crazy Indian dude yanking hearts out of people's chests. All that considered, are aliens REALLY all that wonky? As far as the CGI goes, why not? The...

    Worst Computer Problem Ever

    My Dell laptop is beloved, but a handful. The keyboard is messed up, if I press "a" it somehow strokes several buttons, including page down. I use a USB keyboard, effectively making it a desktop. The battery life lasts about long enough to mock me by booting up, then going into hibernate to keep...

    Write your own epitath

    "Man... it's hot here." "Spending a year dead for tax reasons." "Loved by his bartender, killed by his liver."

    The genre you want back

    I miss the old top-down shooters. I can't think of a name off the top of my head, except for the Aliens games on Gameboy. Oh, and while they still pop up from time to time, especially now on the Wii, I think we could do with more rail-shooters.

    What are the most addictive games you have played?

    The original Doom ate my life for about a year after I discovered it. I'm still addicted to the old Wolfenstein games. A friend of mine had me hooked on a little shareware game called Space Empires III for a while, and every now and then I start jonesing to play FFX.

    Jack Thompson Found Guilty of Professional Misconduct

    Hm. I've been waiting for this for a long time now. Lawyers like him and the ones who've made this society explode into so many pointless lawsuits. The only thing that could make this better is if we somehow find out that he's a closet videogame addict.

    Poll: How Many Of you Gamers Smoke Cigarettes?

    I guess I could be called a cigarette fanboy, but I'm cool with that. And no, I live in texas, so it's only about $5 a day. I can save about ten bucks if I buy a carton, though. Also, the city I live in is supported almost entirely by chemical companies, so smoker or not, I'm doomed to cancer.

    Poll: How Many Of you Gamers Smoke Cigarettes?

    I started smoking cigars shortly after I turned 18. I then moved on to a pipe, and then a hookah, and now I smoke at least a pack of Marlboro's a day. They teach us all our lives that it's a bad habit and all, but I grew up with an immediate family that hated smoking, and and extended family...
