    Things that piss you off in games

    Characters that *just won't die*! I don't mean bosses, I mean a character that is killed for plot reasons, then revived later for some stupid reason, or no reason at all. It completely kills the drama of the character's death! (Infinite Undiscovery and FFIV I'm looking at you.) Games that...

    What's the most broken game you have had the misfortune of buying?

    It's already been said, but Sims 3. The core game would just fail to load properly for me 80% of the time, leaving me with missing objects and random crashes when I tried to use something that hadn't loaded right. And don't get me started on the DLC >.>; I spent a few pounds buying new clothes...

    Stuff you want to get into, and why you haven't done it.

    I've been looking for a club for *years*, but I assumed people had just stopped playing it. Just got into my final year of university and discovered we have a role playing society (I'm at the University of Hull if that helps anyone, club's called WARPS) that I discover *now* when I don't have...

    What are your 4 most recently played games?

    Infinite Undiscovery - Almost finished it!! But I rage!quit this morning after getting mobbed by the standard enemies on the 4th floor of the underwater palace... there's a lot of them and they like to get you stuck in your damage animation. NFS ProStreet - First driving game I've seriously...

    Documentary makers mistake game footage for terrorist film.

    It's made more hysterical by the fact that ITV isn't actually a little indie project with hardly any budget; it's one of the original five big channels we had before digital: BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5. I'm really surprised something like this slipped through... it should be rather...

    Have you ever gotten a game into an unwinnable/unfinishable state?

    This exact same thing happened to me! Only my game glitched too. I'd been dragging my feet all game once I worked out I didn't *have* to grind since everything's levelled, so Squall was lv21, Rinoa was lv18 and everyone else was lower. Get to Lunatic Pandora on the final disc, struggle like heck...

    That one game you want to play RIGHT now, but can't

    Mass Effect. Everyone is all hyped and it's making me want to play, but I ragequit and sold my copy after one particularly evil vehicle section that I couldn't beat and kept failing in the same spot miles from a checkpoint. I still have my save, and was totally addicted otherwise, but atm I'm a...

    So, Escapist, why're YOU not sleeping right now? PART 2!

    I went to bed early so I've been *awake* since about 2am... I usually go to bed then T_T But work sucks and means I have to be up when I'd normally be asleep so I'm all blegh and awake at the wrong times now!! Normally I'd sleep about 1-2am to 10-11am just because, but if I'm working on...

    Poll: Your Parents on Gaming.

    This also. My dad would play some rally games and Timesplitters when he was alive, but mum always called them a waste of time, and that escalated to 'warping my brain' when she saw me a little too happy about sneaking up and stabbing guards to death on Assassin's Creed XD;; I think the idea of...

    If you were stuck with one game series...

    This, sorta. SMT or Final Fantasy... I prefer FF as a whole, and it's not like it's short on entries or content, and it covers a range of genres too... but I think I get more playtime and more challenge out of the SMT games... playing Persona 1, Digital Devil Saga and Lucifer's Call atm, been at...

    Have you ever had to turn a games music off because it was so bad?

    I'm playing Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 at the moment, and I've had to turn the music off on that. It's not *bad*... more it's elevator music for the most part, the tracks aren't that long, and it takes me *hours* to do each dungeon. The music makes me so bored I give up after half...

    Horrible companies you can't do without :D

    This too. They have too much money, are edging towards a monopoly here in UK (they sell *everything* now... Directly competing with everyone from Argos to the phone companies, other supermarkets, hardware stores...) and see their employees as 'resources', not as people with lives and feelings...

    Poll: Violent Games (Help a guy out with some Uni work)

    Violence in games doesn't bother me unless it's *extreme*, like Manhunt. That game just seems to go a little bit too far for me to find entertaining. I'm pretty desensitised to media violence in general, and am more likely to sit and giggle like a maniac while I murder yet *another* guard in...

    Hackers Offer PSN Credit Cards For Sale

    I'm in the UK, all the banks are shut for the next four days because we have the Royal wedding followed by the weekend and a May Day bank holiday! T_T Four days before I can realistically get a new card issued! I'm so screwed... I can cancel the old one, but not get a new one until the post...

    Breeding licenses... what do you think?

    This actually got asked as a question in my GCSE biology class *years* ago! We came up with all sorts of things like putting contraceptives in the water, forcing persistent offenders to be sterilised, getting people to take tests in basic math and literacy as well as skills for caring for a...
