    Poll: Do you buy pre-owned games?

    Back during the PS1/PS2 era, I didn't purposely buy used games, but the used game piles tended to have more games that appealed to me, and for a cheaper price. Typically my options were- 2 games I KNEW people said were high quality games at only $10-25 each, or a $50 game that just came out, and...

    Steam User Finds Misogynistic "Joke" Buried in Dead Island Code [UPDATED]

    I'm of the female variety and this doesn't bother me at all. And there is a long range of what is considered "feminist." Most feminists are totally rational and mellow- some even think the "feminist cause" is actually bad for the "feminist cause.", its just you never hear about them...

    RPG elements, are you for them or against them?

    If its an RPG I'm all for it... If its a random fps, or beat'm up,or racing, or I don't know... Tetris... They better keep the emo's, 1/2 ass'd plots, leveling up systems ect... out of my sight. While there have been some successful RPG additions to games... Most of the time I feel they were...

    I personally like normal controllers... If this keeps going by next generation they might starting thinking normal controllers are unique and original again.

    So, the swine flu is now officially a pandemic

    I think its a bit misleading to label it a pandemic. The Numbers for the infected are relatively high (though lower than the normal flu), but honestly the death toll and severity of the disease itself isn't something that should cause panic... Its just gives the media an excuse to fear monger...

    Your luckiest game moment(s)?

    When I was playing secret of Mana for the SNES I was very young... only 7 years old... and I didn't understand the concept of Leveling up yet. Me and my brother SOMEHOW made it to the last boss with our limited reading abilities and patience and fought the last boss for almost 2 hours. We...

    What is wrong with society...fixing what isn't broken.

    I live near the amish who bake all their stuff from scratch and sell their food surrounded by flies and I've never seen the health department knocking on their doors. Not that I approve of this, but as you said, if its not a problem the government really has no reason to step in and "regulate."...

    New IGN Contest: No Girls Allowed

    As a girl I don't really care... I don't think it was a wise decision on IGN's part for public image, but there's no reason to throw a hissy fit over it. I'm curious to hear if they do give a reasoning behind this though. Maybe Peter Jackson is gynophobic?

    Do you think games influence children?

    I've been playing video games since I was 4 years old and I turned out fine >.> A little anti-social, but there ALOT of things out there worse than a slightly anti-social gamer. There's so many other factors in growing up that would certainly have a much bigger effect of the child psyche-...

    Hetalia Axis Powers: Right or Wrong?

    Hetalia is one of my favorite series right now, Infact my Avatar is Hungary. The Webcomic is actually better; the anime was watered down to make it appropriate for all ages (It took out the constant gay rape jokes... I'm surprised france wasn't completely censured from the series) I think its...

    Quoted for Truth. You took the words out of my mouth.xD I don't even play games anymore because I'm a poor college student; I'm just watching Yahtzee's reviews for the entertainment value.
