    most fucked up ending to something you've ever read or seen.

    Darn it all. I was going to bring this up. However, if you're looking for your nightmare fuel, Drakengard's fourth ending... Oh gawd. It starts at 2:27... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyaTNFrxkh8] and ends never, because it will never leave your mind. NEVER.

    A fad to hate?

    Hating anything becomes a fad. Even if the founding hatred has sound reason, there will be followers whose campiness will dilute the purpose of the original hatred's purpose. Halo was immensely popular because it was a functional FPS on a console with a lot of visibility to the Western audience...

    Has anyone actually kept their Wii that has bought one?

    I've had my Wii since a few months after launch, and since I alternate which system I play my games on next, I'm never scrambling to find a core game for any system. As such, I never bought into this hysterical premature Wii hate. Bring on the accusations of fanboyism! The term's lost all...

    Best way to die on a game.

    Tch. Young'uns. I remember the first time I died by HP loss in Ninja Gaiden (for the NES, thankyouverymuch) and Ryu just sat there in his hurt pose while the game played a short elegy for my fallen ninja. "Oh, look, look, you died. I'm playing a synthesizer violin for you." If I had to go...

    What is your biggest reason for not finishing a game.

    To elaborate on this, I when some part of the gameplay makes picking it up a chore, that's the loosening up I need to swap over when a new game comes out that I absolutely must play after buying it. If the game in question is unlucky, I'll move on to a different game after that because I am...

    Unopened Earthbound Goes For $1000 on eBay

    With no sarcasm in my voice, I think this is great. If animation cells and movie props and some random celebrity's chewed up gum can be sold for lots, then it just goes to show that gaming culture is just as relevant. That IS a lot of money, though. $8.70 USD for shipping!? [Insert...

    Poll: Worst Fan-boys

    Where's the option to alienate PC gamers? You could replace "Half-Life" with "Valve" and I'm sure people have a lot to say about Valve fanboys. =D To answer the question, I dislike extremist fanboys... of all kinds. I myself am a Nintendo fanboy who has access to all current consoles and...

    Your first game

    Ahhh... When my father returned from a business trip with a Game Boy and Tetris. At the time, this "video game" thing seemed to be gaining some momentum.

    The individualist is KINDA dead.

    The Individualist was my favorite superhero... Seriously though, I do agree with everything here if only for the reason that all of these thoughts and observations have gone through my own head and the heads of the people I associate with. Fair warning now, better hunker down for when...

    Dad Beats Son for Having Poor Gaming Skills

    Ha! Nice article. ... Wait... this isn't from the Onion? When did parenting become a national dump stat?

    Wait...A and B?

    My guess is that its a move in order to not alienate the people who grew up with the SNES controller and are used to ABXY on their diamond-shaped face buttons. ... Which is then thwarted by swapping the button positions. Quick Time Events are flow-breaking enough, but the first few games I...

    How Has Gaming Ruined Your Life or How Has It Saved Your Life

    I'm one of those who spent more time with video game than with his own parents because his father was a domineering patriarch who felt that talking with your own family members was taking precious time away from homework and job searching. They saved my life by staving off depression and...

    Zero Punctuation: Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

    Oh no you didn't. ... Oh yes you did. I am setting aside $70 USD just in case this ever happens.

    Games I'm Most Ashamed to Own

    Cy Girls. Yep, saw it in the bargain bin for $4.99 and wondered who makes this sort of game. Well, it was Konami. Konami! Let's just say that the price was right... barely. I'm not 100% ASHAMED to own it, but it's the game in my collection I'm least proud to own. Probably wouldn't have been...
