Well made video Jim, and very good points. One of the things I find interesting is that gamers mostly do not want to be patronized about their hobby, but tend to alienate those who don't fit into the elitist status of the hardcore. Take this comic on Dorkly for example...

I wouldn't mind having one myself, but I can't figure out what I would want for a tattoo. If it's gonna be permanent, may as well be sure to make it amazing.

Video games are definitely my way of winding down. With my stress levels getting so high sometimes, it's great to sit down with an amazing game and just relax. It has helped me out on more occasions than I can count.

Definitely a fan of a room being very cold. Took warm and I just feel bad and can't sleep.

Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin is one of my most favorite pieces of music ever. Hope to be able to play at least the baritone/euphonium part someday.

My parents had a computer back in the day (I think it was a Commodore 64, but not sure), and they got me a Sesame Street game for it. I played that a lot (I was like 3 or something). Then I started playing on my cousins' NES. I was always on that thing when I went to their house. So I guess...

I think that it could give them a somewhat larger market, especially if they have it as a separate service. Could then directly combat GameFly. If they make it affordable, then gamers who use Netflix may be persuaded somewhat to switch. Time will tell.

I'm not sure. There are some developers that make good use of the technology and create some really fun and interesting games. However, every other developer creates annoying party games (and only party games) using it. I'm really not sure if it is the future, but I'll see how it goes with...

I think I have a new one. I can't believe I overlooked this song of theirs. Outside of this discovery, I've been blaring "Walk On" by Boston in my car a lot lately.

In no real order: Final Fantasy VII (PC) Final Fantasy IX (PS) Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES) Super Metroid (SNES) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the 7 Stars (SNES) (Anyone remember the commercial with the old guy yelling "7...

Ancient Order of Eight! I'm full of useless old information on gaming. I actually know more about gaming history than any other history, which is probably a little sad. Please disregard me jumping in the middle of an RP...

Absolutely. I'll be a programmer (tools or gameplay, doesn't matter for me right now). Already given out several resumes at TGC and ready to dive into it all. Definitely excited. Really hoping I get a job soon in it.

Supposably the reason they say not to plant the bomb at any point except near the end of the match or during sudden death is because if you wait that long, you get a huge match bonus (like 6000 points). So if you get 30 kills + 6000 match bonus + awards, you can get a metric ton of points...

Oh some others I forgot: 1984 Slaughterhouse 5 A Gathering of Old Men

Fallen Earth may be one to try out, but it is an MMO-FPS-RPG (lots of letters...). Got average reviews on Metacritic, but haven't tried it myself.
