Haha wow, I'm surprised at how unanimous this topic turned out. Guess I'm a socially awkward penguin.

Say you get a facebook message, text, or e-mail or whatever, and you happen to be there right when you receive it, and you're available to respond. Would you reply immediately, or would you wait a while before replying? Personally, I usually wait a little before replying so it doesn't seem...

Mouse lag? Try turning off vertical sync.

Yes. Not in the sense that I'll have long and length conversations with myself, but just stuff like "lol this is awesome" or "this is BS" or "so I have to do this, and then this, and then this...". I'd say it's more like thinking out-loud than talking to myself.

Haha, I didn't even consider small-scale day to day things when making this topic; cool stuff. I actually just thought of a few more. "Dialogue options", like in Mass Effect and Deus Ex: HR. Of course I've always known that you have control of what you want to say in a conversation, but I...

I think you can use some much simpler, smaller games to prove that video games can be art. There are a lot of great flash games out there that are quite artistic, like The Stanley Parable [http://www.kongregate.com/games/GregoryWeir/the-majesty-of-colors]. It's probably better to provide...

Has there even been something you learned from a video game that you applied in real life? Over the summer, I discovered a really neat game called SpaceChem [http://spacechemthegame.com/]. It's a puzzle game about programming automated machines, to get from an input and turn it into...

Killer7 and Second Sight. They have their faults and I can see why other people don't like them, but they're some of my favorite games of all time.

Definitely JRPGs. I don't know if it's because JRPGs have gone "bad" like everyone has been saying, but I personally don't have the patience to play them anymore. A lot of them are up to 30+ hours long, include a ton of level-grinding, and are generally long and slow-paced games. When I was...

Just played it on PC for about 2 hours. The core game in itself is pretty good. The combat system works great; it's pretty fun to break their arms and stab them in the face, especially with the great visual effects and good zombie AI. There's tons of cool places to explore, and you can tell...

I have eczema, a chronic skin condition that causes itchy rashes to randomly pop up. Fun stuff.

I voted 3rd person, just because off the top of my head I can think of a lot more 3rd person games I like than 1st person. Then again, that's only because a lot of 3rd person games aren't necessarily "shooters"... Yeah, this probably isn't a fair comparison at all, since they're very...

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days. The game wasn't that great to begin with, but the ending seriously came out of nowhere, almost like they chopped off the last quarter of the entire game. Imagine if you were playing Mario and the game ended right as you entered Bowser's castle. That's what it felt...

It all comes down to how to define "fun", but in my head, "fun" is the minute-to-minute laughy-smiley-bouncingoffthewalls type of hilarious time you'd have doing silly things with your friends. On the other side, whatever terminology you decide to use (I use words like "good", "entertaining"...

Dunno if anyone else sees this, but my screen has "11331tower.com" on it.
