    Poll: every one say they hate halo.

    I don't particularly hate it or like it. Given the option to play a halo game and one of my Wii games, I'd go with No More Heros everytime. What I think really turned me off to the Halo series was its quality. While each one seemed polished to an extent it never engrossed me. It all felt a...

    How do you optimise your gaming skills?

    2-liter coke-a-cola. Suger-rush Multiples twitch reflexs by 2.5 times. After a moderate owning streak my calm-adrenaline rush kicks in and I continues to dominate for another 2 hours. Patent pending. The only downside is by the time I'm finished gaming you could cook eggs on my ears. They...

    Lookin' to upgrade.

    So I was messing with my old PC a while back, 'playing' some steam games and mmos n' such. After a while I decided to delve back into the case again and start screwing with stuff. Its a bad habit of mine since my PC is rather dated, this was about the 27th and last time. My 10 year old PC is...

    Single most depressing moment in a game

    Left 4 Dead 2 It was really hard for me to stay focused right after seeing it though. The phrase was basically printed across my mind the entire finale.

    Games you would love to see happen (But probably won't)

    I would like to see a Secret of Evermore Remake or sequel, using motion controls! It's control scheme has to be two Wiimotes with motion+, though, or the equivilent of. This other one might be a bit.. controverstial. Remember Too Human from a while back? I want a Too Human 2, but not a...

    Poll: Square Enix, and what i think of them

    I only buy a Square Enix game if it satisfies one of these three requirments. 1)It is a part of the Final Fantasy main series, whose numeric value is a derivative of 4. I own Final Fantasy 4, 8, and 12. I'm pretty happy 2)The game is a Grid-based, tactical-RPG. Still pretty happy...

    If you were to make a survival horror...

    This is pretty in-depth, thought I'd 'spoiler' it so its not a giant block of text in the thread. In the end, its a lot of ideas and making it all work well enough would be a job unto itself, but I would LOVE to play this completed product... Edit: I'll go so far to give it a name...

    Whats the most amount of time youve spent playing any 1 game

    WoW, the obvious one. I'd have to say around 500 hundred hours, but I'm certain my Counter Strike: Source record alone beats that. For some reason my Steam-Community page isn't covering play time past two weeks... The last decent value I seen there was two hundred, and that wasn't long after...

    How Many Times Have You Quit WoW And Why?

    Jumped on right after BC was released. Stopped when I hit 70 and pvp got a bit stale for me. Jumped on again at Lich king, quite after pvp got stale. I've only had one cap-level character (Rogue). I want to make a healer and really take my time with it, maybe do some raiding. 3rd time, INC.

    Whats The Big Deal About Valve?

    I like them. I could rant, but I'd feel like a dweeb. I want to share how much I like them, but its impossible without being construed into being either a fan-boy or a dick. I guess the only way to put it is, as a lifelong gamer (18 years) I've enjoyed what little they have given me, more...

    Think i'm strange

    I've got great hair. Long, wavey, full. Whats strange is I need to put it up in a ponytail when I ride around in a vehicle, since the wind blows it all over the place. I like my long hair, but damn it, I don't like wearing pony tails!

    If you could date any video game character

    That's a hard one for me, not many female characters that interest me. I got a trend I'm noticing though. In Baldur's Gate 2 I found I enjoyed Viconia's romance the most. Got a bit flustered when I couldn't figure out how to rescue her later. Ya know, when- Anyways, it felt kinda odd...

    The Playground Model

    I play MMOs for the challenge, mainly in the form of pvp. Two lines from No More Heros would better surmise how I feel. "This is what it's all about, fighting your own kind." "Don't die on me to quickly, son, I want to gorge on the sense of fulfillment till I vomit." I played WoW avidly...

    Survey which i would like people to be involed in

    1)Neither 2)Male 3)2+ 4)17 5)Lets see... About 40 hours+. I got a lot of free time. 6)My choice my be a bit tricky. The genre I'll pick for favorite would have to be FPS, but the games that really push me to make that choice are all MMOs. Do what you want with that answer.
