    Bad TV Shows

    Anything on the WB, where 8th rate actors go to find work.

    How similar are the Elder Scrolls games to Fallout 3?

    yep - Bethesda tends to be good at graphics but relatively bad at animation, with character animation seeming to be very stiff.

    What game have you racked up over 100 hours?

    Almost every RPG or strategy game - stuff like Warcraft, Starcraft, Guild Wars, Fallout 1 and 2, Civilization (all), MOO2, Morrowind... even stuff like Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. Exceptions: Fallout 3 - I got bored after about 30 hours (love the combat, hate the roleplaying parts -...
