Jackson has also made it clear that he is including the appendices at the end of LotR in order to better frame the story and consolidate all the extra information there with the Hobbit story. As far as that goes, I trust him, although I am still a bit stung by his baffling choice to completely...

The GOTY edition is too tantalizing a thing to not wait for...in most cases, anyway. Especially given the current state of the economy and the continually prohibitive cost of games it is hard to swallow a constant calendar of new releases when I find that I can't easily finish the games I buy...

MAG. And no. Not at all. I shouldn't have tried to get sucked into FPS gaming. MAG is a wasteland most times. 60 bucks down the drain and I don't even have friends that play it anymore.

Hardware in general seems to be in a very uncomfortable position right now . There is a conflict going on inside each of the major tech companies that deal with gamers in terms of focus: do we make a machine for the hardcore crowd or the casual person? And do we make this a dedicated machine or...

ModNation Racers. So many BS last second losses. So many thrown controllers. So many lectures from my fiance about being a grownup. *sigh*

definitely Modnation Racers. Trying to get any achievement (or whatever they are called in that game) is an exercise in extreme patience, which I failed and took out on my controller. Ever. Single. Time. Between that and the original load times I put it away and haven't touched it since. Too...

I met Nicholas Cage while hanging out on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. It was late and he was hanging out with a couple of friends (bodyguards?). People were constantly going up to him and taking pictures. My group and I saw this and waited in a less crowded part of the street until he came...

Eternal Darkness, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy VI are as close as any game that I have played can get to a 10/10 rating. Close runners up are Red Dead Redemption and Assassins Creed: Brotherhood.

Demon's Souls is fantastic if you can keep a level head and don't have to be the untouchable embodiment of death just to have fun. Metal Gear Solid 4 is a pretty good game. Don't know if you are familiar with the series at all (you can download a free compendium of series info if you like) but...

My first RPG was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (don't boo me. My very next two games were Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger, both of which I have on cartridge). I was a rather curious 13 year old with the internet and the newfound freedom of ROMs (not that piracy is good or should be endorsed...

Perhaps, though I wouldn't take the negative connotation of that statement as real, though. Gamers do tend to be rather passionate about their hobby/lifestyle, moreso than most people with most of their likes. This might have a large impact on the perceived influential nature of gamers...

Either Betrayal at Krondor which introduced me to Raymond Feist's works (evidence that God is a personal and loving deity!), or Math Blaster, cause, you know, I learned math...and how litter is bad...and I got to blast it.

It's a shock to see some of the other people on that list, though. These guys command some serious respect and are very formative for gaming culture whereas some of those names are flash-in-the pan music artists or forgettable international politics players. Does anyone think there's alot of...

So in response to the articles on this site talking about the violence in video games and the article chronicling the timeline of anti-tabletop fervor in this country, how does it affect you? There are so many stereotypes still associated with gaming and I, proud gamer of all kinds that I am...
