Morrowind. Even without texture mods and the graphics extender, the game is beautiful. Yeah, you take each model and texture by itself and it makes you laugh but put them all together and it makes a masterpiece. There's something haunting about rushing around in the wilderness for hours to come...

I'm not saying this is how all RPGs are or how they always will be, but it seems to me the more linear the game, the tighter the storytelling. A lot of people will disagree with my examples but eh, it's the internet. We have games like Morrowind and pretty much all Bethesda games at one end...

The security guy in Psychonauts. Up to that point I'd liked the game, but there had only been one or two moments that had made me laugh (like the kids drinking or doing drugs or whatever it was on the tower) but that guy was the best. 'and then the lies will end' *twitchy eye*

A Bug's Life. Even when I was a kid, I used to get some kind of sick pleasure at watching that ant guy getting beaten up by the grasshopper at the end. And this is coming from someone who ALWAYS is a goody-two shoes in rpgs.

My neighbour comes into my house every night and eats all my food. Not just the bread and cheese on the table, but all the wheat and flour and raw meat as well. And I'm pretty sure she ate several watermelons in one go... She then leaves crystals and magic stones all over her house and front...

Morrowind and Oblivion (but I prefer Morrowind for immersion). You feel like a tiny part of an actual world and it takes a while to become big and famous. Oblivion doesn't feel the same way.

Of course, but not if the people I'm with could take it to offense. But even my gay friends use it as an insult which really confuses me :S

Best - Putting in a vote for Mass Effect (it has Seth Green for fuck's sake!) Worst - Heroes of Might and Magic 5. I love that game with an undying passion and while some of the actors aren't too bad they really lower the bar in the expansions. If I hear one more orc speak... Oh no wait...

Apparently I'm on Ubisoft's mailing list. They sent me an email with the trailer to this AGES ago (woot for signing up for things and then forgetting about them!). I have been excited since day one. Seriously, out of all the games coming out over the next year, this is on top. Even on top of...

Haha! Well done, you most definitely pass :) I always have trouble with South America and Africa. And I ALWAYS get bits of Europe wrong because I can't remember whether they are independent or not (like is it Wales, Scotland, England and Ireland or just the United Kingdom?) which is an...

Fair enough then. We used to do stuff like that in year 7 but with the capital cities :P And now that song is going to be stuck in my head all night *le sigh*

I live in country Victoria so... not really. Well, in my area, no. Where I go to school, it's mainly made up of Europeans: Italians, Dutch, Germans, Greeks, British, Irish (so many Irish :P) etc. They're all really proud of their descent but I've never heard of any racism problems. However...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcCmWCJaVGI More CNNNN (The Chaser). I'm not taking a stand on this issue, I just like the videos. EDIT: Embed wouldn't work. So here's a fancy link :) But to all those people who believe that because 1/3 of Americans is the statistic used, that means that...

You could name nearly all the countries in the world? You have to be shitting me. There are roughly 200 recognised countries in the world (it goes up and down depending on whether you count independent states etc.) I'll be impressed if you can name 50 off the top of your head.

It was, but later the ESRB found it came packaged with naked files even though they don't appear in game, so they changed the rating. At least, that's what I heard...
