    Give yourself RPG stats

    Off the top of my head: STR 6 - I have the upper body strength of a skeleton with no motivation. DEX 12 - I have pretty good reflexes, can hit a target, and am an artist, so I figure I've gotta be somewhat okay at this. CON 6 - I can sprint for maybe a minute before taking a half hour...

    Notch Makes Zombie FPS Shambles at Game Jam

    I know I should be paying more attention to the fact that Notch is making a new game but... that screenshot is from the game, right? If so... isn't that a recolored Nerf Gun? One of these? This could make the game a lot more entertaining.

    Name a dying game series/franchise and a way to save it

    But Capcom could be the savior that Silent Hill desperately needs! Imagine how much more imposing Pyramid Head and/or obvious Pyramid Head expy du jour could be if, instead of a sword, he used a rocket launcher! They could even tie it in with the back story of the protagonist, whose wife would...

    Poll: The Four Temperaments: which one are you?

    Yes! Thank you! Supines, unite! Unless you're actually not a supine and were just posting this to inform people in which case I apologize for wasting your time.

    do you still play skyrim?

    I tend to play it in bursts, usually when I have something non-Skyrim to do that's not interesting enough to do/watch/listen to on its own. (Visually uninteresting internet videos, podcasts, moderately good tv series, etc.) I'm still fairly low level though, probably because I spend most of my...

    Poll: The Four Temperaments: which one are you?

    Well going by the test I'm melancholic, but just to throw a monkey wrench in things I'm going to say I'm supine (an arbitrary fifth option that got thrown in somewhere between ancient times and now) because I personally think it's a bit more accurate. My drive to annoyingly take an un-presented...

    Comics, Comix and Comic book fans; do you care if your comic books are digital?

    Digital is nice, but I think there's a certain romantic sense of completeness that you can only get from physical books. Physical books always just seem more alive to me. That and (this may come off as more than a bit weird) you are never, EVER going to get the amazing smell of books in a...

    The Stupidest Thing You've Ever Done, Seen, or Heard

    My brain's running a bit dry on the first two at this point (I may be too stupid to remember being stupid) but I do have a good deal of experience with hearing stupid things. I live in the suburb-iest suburb ever brought into creation, and the biggest crime committed in the past century was...

    Been a while since we had one of these: Draw a game you've been playing!

    Gave a six minute attempt and pretty much failed, but, you know, gold star for trying and all that. The gold star was technically meant for one "Brian Ferguson" but I took it without him noticing so I think I deserve it.

    Jimquisition: Dead Space - The Best New IP This Generation?

    I'm pretty sure that you can switch it back to the dynamic laser if you go into the settings on the pause screen. (At least on the 360 you can.) It's listed as "classic aiming" or something. Also, great as ever Jim! Hooray for Dead Space!

    Great Stories with stupid endings *spoilers ahoy*

    I'd suggest going for it if you liked the main game, there were points in the Alan Wake DLCs that I liked more than the original. Also, American Nightmare has one of the best psycho villains since Heath Ledger's Joker. (Although American Nightmare is decidedly not an Alan Wake based game.)...

    My god...What is the Red button?!

    My god, it can't be... Silent Hill 2... the red buttons... they're all interconnected! Conspiracy! CONSPIRACY!

    So.... are gays and blacks persecuted in the Marvel Universe?

    I'd say it would probably still exist, but be much more downplayed than it is in this here non-Marvel land. Even though, as you said, Marvel heroes aren't always revered in their societies, they would probably still provide role models for the generations of kids after they became well known. If...

    You avatar and you.

    Skull kid? He's a skull kid. And he dance dance dance and he dance dance dance. In all seriousness, I chose it because I wanted a gif and I was replaying some of the Zelda games at the time. Haven't bothered to change it since. EDIT: Forgot to mention my olden days "oh shit" smiley/...
