    How much would you need to be paid...

    I'd want a reinforced steel face plate. To be paid up front, prior to said punch.

    Graphics vs Gameplay

    Ideally, graphics and game play should go hand and hand, supplementing each other. But graphics will show their age faster than game play. Pong, Space War, Asteroids, Tetris, Galaxia, Pac-Man are still lauded as a great games despite having very simple graphics. Games like Crysis have amazing...

    Poll: Is this a common thing for most gamers?

    This is an odd topic for a gaming thread and an even odder subject for the gaming media. You claim to not have played any games that feature prominent female protagonists but argue that you wouldn't want to otherwise to to poor representation. Then,. how would you know that playing a...

    An honest question.

    It's like Dave Chappelle said: "A woman's test in life is material: a man's test in life is a woman." If these friends of yours are unable to accept your friendship, then maybe they had other intentions in mind. It will be difficult to make guy friends since most guys have one thing on their...

    Swearing and you

    Ok then, lets pulls this apart. First, what is swearing in this case? According to you, you have a definition of swears and a set of rules to differentiate the two. But I've yet to here how you define swearing. Is damn a swear, or nuts? even in different regions, there are different forms of...

    What are you cursed with?

    I'm cursed with being a critic. Every little thing must go under scrutiny. then I pick nits until I've pissed off every one. I find the devil in the details and smack it around until it is no fun. I can't find joy in things until I pull it apart.

    If you lost your memory of every game you played, what would you replay first?

    I'd have top start form the beginning. Otherwise the over-the-top spectacle of gaming would drive me away. You got to start slow and gain the skills lost to find gaming nirvana. I'd play Super Mario Bros. for the NES. It was my first and will stand as my best. It taught me to love, to...

    The gauntlet's been thrown, choose your weapon!

    Don't wear that! You'll kill your self. According to the dredges at the Halopedia and some of the Halo books, If you ain't a spartan, you'd be dead. "...[I]t is amorphous, yet amplifies force, doubling lifting capability and increasing reaction time by a factor of five. Unfortunately the...

    The gauntlet's been thrown, choose your weapon!

    Beam Katana (Specifically the Tsubaki Mk.III) Since the post states that the weapon can be a "melee arm" and it is technically a "blade," I think this can be allowed as the weapon of my choice. As for the why, this weapon choice allows for greater combat superiority. Conventional weapon...

    Has something happened to you in a game that broke the immersion?

    In one of my saves in Fallout 3, I opted for Tenpenny Towers to experience life at the hotel. While I don't think this is part of the problem, it might be related: After realizing how boring the rich life was, I murdered the residents of the hotel, looted their goods, and proclaimed myself king...

    Normal to you but weird to everyone else

    I tend to sing when I'm bored. Usually, this happens when I'm at work and I forget to see if I'm singing too loud so I get a few looks. Sometimes other people start singing with me, which draws even more undue attention. At these times I usually ham it up and rock out. It's fun to see people...

    On Multiplayer

    Hey jtesauro, While I'm not the professional you asked for, I would like to give some advice that might help you out. I saw your post and thought about people's dilemma in dealing with objectivity. Since you are reviewing the game from your perspective, there will be people who will...
