oooh you aren't going to get many people backing you on this one. I'm not sure what's great about this girl (you didn't point anything particular out) but lying is a really bad trait in a girlfriend. And I mean a REALLY bad one - but you probably already knew that right? Things are going...

Ugh I couldn't enjoy WoW... I tried reactivating on two separate occasions. But look, I'm not going to bash it... too much. I mean I can't stand the grid in the game and to me the game becomes more of a chore than it is fun once I get a little more into it. I do have fond memories of it...

I'm currently in a relationship and very happy about that... this really does beat being single! However, I was single for nearly 4 years before this girl, and my ex was a bad one. She wasn't so bad as a person but we just really didn't match up well and I think my expectations of a...

Hmmm....the things that really matter are the things that really define you. In my experience, hobbies or common interests count for little (if anything at all), but the values the hold, the way you think, and the things you find important to you... those are what really matter. I say this...

Starcraft- by a long shot. Sure, WC3 was cool, but it wasn't as balanced (notice how much the WC3 patches changed as opposed to the SC ones) and Sc felt more like a strategy game. Also, storyline wise, SC was really superior, solely based on the fact that it came first. I know blizzard are...

Yeah...why not. they are sports. But unfortunately, the "athletes" are much less likable - ie. people who take games too seriously. Gaming can be considered a sport, but I see a few problems. For one, taking games that seriously sucks the fun out, I find... and I think there're few things...

Loved Se7en! But I'm not so hot on some of the comments on this thread...well, I won't quote directly, but: First off, the movie doesn't really have a moral. If it did, I think it would be "life isn't fair", or something like that... but it didn't bother me. Maybe it's just that I'm very sick...

Well I think Half-life 2 is fantastic. It's just a really fun game, and episodes 1 and 2 are even better in terms of enjoyment. I'm not going to debate all the points, but I am going to say that I am in favour of linear games. I love linear games - I'm not afraid to say it. Some of the best...

I like to think so... well. I study computer science, draw/paint (for fun), and enjoy games. How am I different...hm....well, I dislike internet "memes" and internet culture in general, I do martial arts and get a lot of exercise, and most of my friends aren't geeks at all. I'm rather proud...

The fact that they've taken health packs out of more recent games is ironic to me, because usually the trend has been towards realism (although admittedly this trend seems to be dying out recently, YAY FOR THAT :D ) It did make sense in Crysis cos of the naonosuit, so OK. But even so, I don't...

It's for their parents to decide what's best for them in this case. Not governments, churches or organisations. My parents let me play whatever I wanted and my friends had the same situation, and we turned out okay. I think it's just important for parents to clarify the difference between...

I hate competitive gamers. I mean, the ones who get REALLY angry when they lose - those people most definitely need to be made fun of because they get so angry you'd think someone had slept with their spouse. Guys who talk about games a lot? There's a time and place for it (in geek circles) but...

I buy games if I think they're worth the money. For us here in South Africa they are very expensive - I'll buy titles which look good to me or ones I've pirated but really loved (eg. KOTOR, Deus Ex, Bioshock... LOVE those games!) I really think people should buy games if they truly enjoy them...

Most of them! There're far too many sequels in gaming. I miss the good old days of studios such as Bullfrog when there was so much more creativity going around... what happened? I suppose gaming just became bigger and the ever souless EA churns out mediocre game after mediocre game. Some...
