    Time sinks! 200+ hours? 100% and keep coming back? caught 'em all? Do we want more of them?

    Baldur's Gate 2 is crack for me. Probably at the 1200 hour mark by now with my yearly run through. Mass Effect 1 ate up about 300 hours, as did Dragon Age Origins. Oblivion and Morrowind collectively ate over 600, and Fallout 3/New Vegas about 250+. CoD 4 is at 300 and counting since MW2 and...

    So I'm turning 18...

    Hmmm... was a while ago but... went to work, then a big party at a friends, drank a ton, got really drunk, got laid then went to work with a massive hangover the next day. I hate bdays midweek.

    Games you thought you'd love but you turned out hating them.

    Mass Effect 2 was a bit disappointing. Still an awesome game which I liked, but there were so many things that just didn't click. Modern Warfare 2 just makes me angry. I enjoy it sometimes but I usually can't play it for more than an hour not that you need more than an hour to beat it. APB is...

    Your dream car

    I love my current project car my rare (and unappreciated) Buick Apollo; but I have suddenly become super-enamored with the '53-'54 Chevy 150 Coupes. Don't ask why, I don't know. If I could find one in a decent shape for a good price I'd nab it in a heart beat and restore it.

    The Dumbest Reason You Gave Up on a Game

    Star Wars Force Unleashed on PC. Most broken targeting system. Ever. I quit it on the third boss when all I could do was target chairs.

    What game have you racked up over 100 hours?

    In Baldur's Gate 2 I racked up over 300 hours in one play-through. The original Modern Warfare I've stacked over 175 hours... damn clan warfare. Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and Mass Effect 2 have consumed monumental amounts of time as well thanks to their re-playability. That's just to name a few...

    Games that you felt just weren't worth the hype

    Prey and Alpha Protocol. Prey just irritates me, so un-inventive and standard, and yet people were screaming "It's original! Look at these weapons!" Oh, right, an alien version of Quake 2's laser pistol, an alien choking a chain gun... shall I go on? Stupid game, stupid button hunting, so much...

    Your favourite Anti-hero

    HK-47 is by far one of my favorites in a game for sure, but he has strong competition in the form of Ceville. And of course, who can forget the Rabbit-like-thing named Max. "So the other day I was beating a guy to death with a broken parking meter while screaming "DIE! DIE! WHY WON'T YOU...

    Poll: To all car drivers - Automatic or Manual

    Razor I agree with you 100%. I learned on a Jeep TJ with a 5 speed and a straight 6. NOT a forgiving vehicle to learn stick. When people start out driving a manual it's often intimidating, especially if they have no knowledge of how the system works. I find working in the automotive trade...

    Your most replayed game

    Baldur's Gate 2 (go through it at LEAST once a year for some reason), Fallout 2 & 3, Chrono Trigger, Mass Effect, COD 1 and MW 1. There could be more. I have been at this for 20 years so far, so I'm sure I've forgotten more than a few. Every once in a while I'll be sitting at my comp and...

    The Customer Is Always Wrong

    I absolutely love this thread, it's close to being therapeutic. I have been working in the Auto Parts business for several years now and there is no end to the amount of stupidity I face daily. Some examples: Woman walks into store, I greet her and she walks up to my counter. Customer: "I...

    Moments in Games when You (Nearly) Cried?

    Ending of COD 4... until Price slid the Colt over, then it was sweet vengeance. Prey bored me to the point of tears. I used to cry in frustration every time I heard the words "Red Warrior is about to die!"

    Whats the most boring game you ever played?

    Trek Games in general for me, never been much for them. The first game to ever put me to sleep was Prey. That was hands-down the most over-hyped and exaggerated game I've ever seen. I played it for a few hours, most of which the game was muted, and a movie was playing on my secondary monitor...
