    What's your favorite cultural quirk?

    I know that feeling, trying being part Sicilian...I swear we're the loony bin of Europe -.- But also being Irish-Australian, I can't help but hit someone when they try to impersonate my accent/get a Guinness just so they can be 'Irish' - it's like watered down chocolate syrup if you don't get...

    Movies that you will not be seeing.

    Anything with Tom Cruise in it. I won't even see Minority Report, despite my current staring at the entire Philip K. Dick collection. While this stems partly from my never-see-a-book-to-film adapation (they're all...bad. So cranially intrusionally bad), it's also because I'd rather not give...

    Scary Games You Didnt Think Would Be Scary.

    They did an awesome job with that...the atmosphere descending into that place was great, and than the combat forms - first time I saw those things, I freaked.

    Strange but tasty food combinations?

    Yoghurt and chilli flakes/hot sauce. Try it with ice cream as well.

    I blame this game for my social life crippling game addiction

    Pokemon Yellow introduced me to gaming, Mario Kart got me competitive, FF8 had me staying up completing absolutely everything possible in a game. That and how quickly the homework questions in years 4-7 went from moderately challenging to 5 minute drool session didn't really help.

    Is this why people hate the Star Wars prequels?!

    No I'm pretty sure if we forget that 2 ever, existed...wait scrap that. It's not hate, it's just, they seemed to really make us have to...endure them rather then enjoy them. The prequel trilogy was highly disappointing, but they're pretty much out of luck considering the sequel trilogy was...

    Recommend me some fantasy novels!

    Raymond E. Feist - the first book is Magician. It's an incredibly far reaching storyline that extends through several different collections and so far there's probably a good 20-30 books out. And there's only two that were a bit lame. Trudi Canavan - Either the Black Magician series of the...

    Poll: The Passing - What did you enjoy the most?

    It's the same survivor, when you get round too it, you'll find out who. Yeah the first time I hit that bit I forgot about the radio disturbing the witch. Brides are crazy enough, but a witch bride? Sheer terror.

    Poll: The Passing - What did you enjoy the most?

    While I don't feel like The Passing was "the most important campaign in the Left 4 Dead story", I did enjoy some of the new game play elements that came with it. To clarify that first point, it seemed like there going to be a far larger context in which the new survivors interact with the old...

    Ebert Re-Emphasizes That Games Will Never Be Art

    Ebert, that socially inept, over opinionated...thing? He always kind of struck me as one who would play video games... A video game has to create an entire world that needs to be fascinating for long periods of time...the level of immersion required in video games is far superior to the...

    Weirdest Asssumption made about you?

    If I had a dollar for everytime I've heard "You're HOW OLD?" I'd well, you get the point. Most people assume I'm 22-23, I'm only 18. I love feeling like an oldie -.- I also get pegged for having military experience just because I stand upright and a generally serious demeanor. Works well for...

    GAMER RAGE!

    I've raged once and that was against the Omega Weapon in FF8 when I was 12. Now I'm so used to insta-kill crap in games that it's more funny than anything to get annoyed about.

    Ideas for theoretical "Scariest Horror Game Ever"

    I think there's a bit of a difference between 'oh it jumps up, how startled am I' and actual, genuine...I really do not want to turn this corner. L4D/2 are more about frantic game play than actual horror, and other survival horror games just have you battling the occasional thingy that jumps...

    Avatar is out on DVD Now! YAY!!!

    Yay, a pile of vomit is about to come screaming onto peoples TV's. Well that is a bit harsh, at least it will be a cinematic pile of vomit. Even if it is mostly blue.
