Nice list. Personally, I would've added My Favorite Year and The Lion in Winter. Both were great scenery-chewing roles for O'Toole.

I played WoW for 4+ years and although I quit a while ago I'm looking forward to the changes in Cataclysm. I'm actually thinking of signing back up and rolling a new character just to experience a whole new WoW. IMHO, what Blizzard is doing is much better than creating, say, WoW 2. Now, older...

The elitists and the haters (who are often one and the same). I could do without them.

Right now I'm totally nerding out by catching up on all the Zero Punctuation vids I've missed until now and watching the Sam & Max animated series from the 90s.

I quit WoW three times before it finally stuck.

Funny read, Marion! Luckily, the two gaming sites I write for haven't asked me to get naked yet. You never know, though. It could be right around the corner... *gulp*

To me, a good game is like a good book. I like a lengthy story I can get interested in. It keeps me playing, not just because I find the game fun, but because I want to find out what happens next. And I feel a little guilty when I never finish a game because I never find out how the story ends...

I was totally crushing on Alistair while playing Dragon Age: Origins. I always did like a guy with a sense of humor!

I'm most looking forward to Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, and especially Star Wars: The Old Republic! I've been suffering from MMO withdrawals since quitting WoW. I could use a new addiction. ;)

I don't know... I remember wearing some funky mismatched armor in WoW back in the early leveling days. Or in the endgame as a resto druid who could wear both leather and cloth. It makes for some interesting combos. And everyone knows pink/purple armor is just plain sexy! Just ask Barney! ;)

Nope, I have the Xbox version. Best Buy had a buy one, get one half off sale. Although, hindsight being 20/20, I wish I'd preordered the PC version instead. Still a great game though!

The helms in Dragon Age really are horrible! I was disappointed when I couldn't find an option to disable them. I've always hated the mismatched look of gear in MMORPGs as well. By the time you reach the endgame, you might have a complete set of gear that looks nice. But for the 50+ levels...

I had a lot of gamer shame in my 20s. I didn't like to admit to others that I played because they just didn't get it. And it's even worse if you're a girl gamer. But now that I'm in my early 30s, and a lot more comfortable with who I am as a person, I fly my girl gamer flag proudly!

That gave me a good laugh. Thanks! And I'm an Alistair fan too. ;)

I'm super excited to play this game! I'm a big fan of Bioware's games. I kinda wish I'd bought the PC version, instead of Xbox, but Best Buy had a Buy One, Get One Half Off deal going on at the time and I saved $30. ;)
