    what is up with gaming fans these days?

    In general people on the Internet are a lot worse than you meet in real life. It helps you develop a "thick" skin, so to speak. Just try not to take things personally. They don't know you and you don't know them and it's unlikely you'll ever meet face-to-face. What I like to do when people...

    No Longer Fantasy!

    Quick saves and the power to see your own "health" in a numerical quantity.

    What do you guys do during loading times?

    I sigh, lean back in my chair, look around. If it hasn't finished loading by then, I just stare at the screen blankly. The only game I have which takes a while to load was Oblivion but I found the loading bar entertaining to look at for some reason so I didn't mind.

    Your most awesome gaming moment.

    In TF2, performing a perfect airshot as a soldier. Note that this was using the regular rocket launcher and not the direct hit (if it mattered, anyway). In the badwater map, I shot an enemy soldier into the air, and he went flying over my head. I didn't even bother to look up to follow his...

    Health regeneration in video games.

    Health regeneration makes the game too easy..in my opinion. There's no sense of punishment for your mistakes/rashness when you can just run away and hide in a corner to heal back to full health.

    Left 4 Dead 2 Boomer Plush Vomits Children to Sleep

    I'm creeped out by the green...things coming out of its stomach. I would not be willing to touch it..let alone hug it! Although I look forward for the tank one if they do become available.

    Poll: Do you respond to what Characters say in the game.......

    When something surprising or amusing comes up in a game, I tend to say "lolwut" out loud. Literally voicing "lolwut" (thankfully, I don't actually say "lol" in real life, just "lolwut", because it sounds funny). Confuses my roommate at times whenever I say it in the middle of complete silence.

    Who was the last enemy you killed?

    RED Pyro in Hoodoo. Or was it a Soldier? Maybe both at the same time. I can't remember. Demospam ftw! :D

    Most impractical game weapons and attacks.

    I'd have to say the soldier's shovel in TF2. It's just too ridiculous, but I love it. :D There's nothing better than humiliating someone by smashing him in the face with a shovel. But still.. a shovel! The only other ridiculous weapon I can think of is a frying pan.

    Question of the Day, April 10, 2010

    I like real-time better. Mainly because I feel that turn-based style destroy immersion..just a little. And I don't have that much patience to wait to beat the crap out of an enemy because I have to wait for him to hit me first. It's just weird.

    Poll: Bullies get bullied?

    Bullies become bullies because they were bullied in the first place. I see no reason to bully them any farther. In fact, I'm pretty sure that deep down inside, despite the fact that it seems like they enjoy tormenting others, they're probably suffering too. Bullies are still human beings. So...

    Amazing feats of amazingness!

    I was hiking with a friend down a very steep and rocky slope. And I heard running footsteps from behind me, and instinctively, I shoved my friend aside just a split second before some guy charged through the exact spot my friend had been standing. The guy running down the slope was actually...
