    Videogames as Art

    My answer to anything like "X thing is subjective" is "subjectivity is objective."

    What would you be if you weren't human?

    I'd be a toaster. Something nice and calm and inconspicuous; then BAM! The house burns down and the daughter's knocked up. No one ever expects the toaster.

    Games you have completed in one sitting

    Modern Warfare, the first one. Sat down, and got just a wee bit carried away. Beat it all and got looks from my brother the next... afternoon when I woke up.

    What do you want for Valentine's Day?

    Hey man... that's not a bad idea. Now I just need $5 500 to have a "thing." Get it? Get it? I'm so clever.

    What do you want for Valentine's Day?

    ... Does a girlfriend count as a material thing? Because I want one, God damn it. The only thing even close was a date the other day, but it just reeked of "going nowhere"-ness. ... I blame society.

    LoadingReadyRun: Paper Boy

    I have exactly one question Mr. Stark: How clean were those floors...? ...Eeeew.

    On Multiplayer

    The only real comment I can make is one that was mentioned only briefly before, that Team Fortress 2 is still kickass, despite it being online only. It seems only logical, really; most games suck and most people suck, therefore most online games where you are forced to interact with people...

    How Valve botched yet another launch

    Well, it's decrypting for me. It tends to get stuck from time to time, though, and requires coddling and a cookie to restart. Anyway, screw you all, it's done.

    Castlevania, Half-Life 2 Mashup Is Surprisingly Endearing

    That was just amazing. Kudos to that modder! He should make it full then release the mod somehow. I'd play that shit.

    Poll: Please verify your age...

    Yeah, I can be honest with you lot, despite being old enough to buy M-rated games and see R-rated movies alone, that's 17 even though it's not listed on my thingy, I got in the habit of using my ex-girlfriend's birthday for stuff. So, as far as violent game trailers goes, I'm 19! But yeah, I...

    It's the End of the War as We Know It

    Now see, I'm curious, just how much extra would DS support cost? Because if it's some outrageous amount, IW could just charge some "nominal" monthly fee for access. Myself, I haven't bought Modern Warfare 2 yet but only because it's too expensive, but I think I'd be willing to pay something...

    Zero Punctuation: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

    And here I thought he'd completely shit the review. I'm thinking that it translates as something like, "Okay, if generic." As for the graphics, I think they fucked up the color scheme completely. And the only thing drawing me towards getting a PS3 is The Beatles: Rock Band.

    Shattered Horizon

    I, too, want this game. It looks, heh, quite nice. I'm assuming (from the reviews and suchlike) that it's a bit like Team Fortress 2, but in space!. And TF2 is something that I really dig, man. But for me anyway, once it's at the magical price of $20, I'm always, always really tempted to...

    Funniest thing you have heard a teacher/boss say

    Today, actually. I said something was 'bullsh... I mean crap.' My teacher said, that 'it's not bullcrap, it's bullshit, man.' This, the same class in which I'm going to get run over by a car for a movie we're making. I love that class.
