Double Clef from GTA3. Especially La Donna è Mobile, very loud, while running over pedestrians, always. EDIT: guy above me: hivemind much?

It would be interesting to see how pop culture stereotypes entered video games, and check if video games have stereotypes that are unique to them, and then try to find out how those came to be and what function or purpose they serve.

I puked on a guy I had a crush on. It's weirdly reassuring to know that it'll never get any worse than that.

Word. I can't find any defining moment. It just happened at some point, and it was obvious.

Last time I went to a very expensive and fancy restaurant, I wasn't hungry anymore about half way through, despite the fact that I usually eat lots. I think it comes from the fact that the dishes are so... tasty. You get so many subtle tastes in just one mouthful that your taste receptors kinda...

Boulder Dash and Sorcery on Amstrad. I think Sorcery is still the hardest game I've ever played. No savegames, no extra lives - ah good old times.

Fuck yeah! For last christmas my boyfriend got me CoD5 so we could play it together on co-op. Could work for Valentine's day as well. Someone else mentionned a mod, that's an awesome idea. It's got that "I made it myself" feel AND it's useful.

This thread reminds me of when the dude who assembled my lastest computer asked me if I knew World of Warcraft and then immediately proceeded to explain in a patronizing tone how it's the best game ever and that I should check it out someday. I felt like jamming his head into his colon after...

And here I come with another +1 for A Song of Fire and Ice. This series is absolutely perfect. Changes of perspective, plot twists, characters evolving in an incredibly realistic way, it's just pure awesome. And the author looks like a sort of medieval Sauta Claus, that's gotta count for...

Being a gamer girl myself, I concur with the previous replies pointing out that trying to make generalizations out of the tastes of half of the friggin human population is absolutely retarded. Just let your graphic design class teacher that his "specific demographic" thinks he's a moron...
