    Games with Snowy / Winter environments

    That was always my favourite part of the level, and musically probably my favourite part of the whole game. And when I played through Halo Anniversary I was actually really keen for that one part. OT: I'd have to go with Halo: CE's Assault on the Control Room/Two Betrayals levels, because I...

    Most Emotional Movie Scene

    The ending, like, 15 minutes of Time Traveler's Wife, especially where he says to his daughter "I can't sing". I didn't cry, per se, just teared up (man-style, of course. *starts doing weights*)

    Something great ruined by being a fan.

    This. This has bugged me for years, and all my friends have just shrugged it off. Well I haven't Bungie! OT: I try not to read too much into a franchise's lore, though on the one occasion I did, I found loopholes like the afformentioned.

    Your left index finger is a gun that has just fired

    Damn, there goes a sizeable portion of my right hip, not to mention some probably vital organs...

    Encountering anti-intellectualism

    Pretty much half of my grade from high school questioned me as to why I sometimes used words that contained 3 or more syllables. These questions were always rhetorical (if I spelt it right?), and were immediately followed by them yelling "******!", a word which I can't stand, for some reason...

    Things people would be surprised to know about you.

    I have the same thing, where I tend to use proper grammer when typing. Just common courtesy, I guess. OT: Poeple get surprised when I tell them that (as well as being a gamer) I'm a music student. On top of this, the first thing they'd expect is for me to listen to classical music and speak in...

    Stuff you "should" like, but don't... and vice-versa

    EDIT: double post, sorry

    Stuff you "should" like, but don't... and vice-versa

    A lot of my mates have been raving about GTA IV, even though it's been out for a while. I didn't much like the other ones, but was assured that this one was better. I picked it up to give it a go, and I have to say that I absolutely DO NOT care for it. Frankly, I found it to be shit. In...

    Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam. Improvement or just Skin Change?

    I find that with Vietnam they tried to offer more balancing in the weapons versus vehicles, because there are definately less vehicles in any Vietnam map than, say, Arica Harbour from Vanilla. From this, more focus is drawn to certain tactical movements - flanking, like you said - whether people...

    The longest game you've beaten start-to-finish in one sitting.

    Went over to a mate's place a year or 2 ago and he had an original Xbox, so of course we were spoilt for choice (sarcasm). We played and finished Halo 1 on Legendary in one night. It was glorious.

    Apologize on behalf of your country

    On behalf of Australia, I, Connellanator, apologise for our Prime Minister's shockingly contorted face, and for stealing actors from New Zealand

    Poll: Did Black Ops Fail?

    I found that (on Xbox 360) the graphics were fine, but it's just because they did it in the Cold War era that it looks different to MW2, so everyone claims that they're 'bad' in comparison. You can't have the same graphics for a different mood, as they said in one of the Extra Credits vids (I...

    Games where sniping is fun.

    I was recently in a long and drawn out sniper fight on BC2. I was on the map Heavy Metal (one of the new ones) and i was halfway up one of the mountains. The other guy was behind a log a fair way away, right next to his last base, and we were trading sniper shots for a good 15 minutes. He...

    Poll: What would you rather have the Gravity Gun or the ASHPD/ Portal Gun?

    I would go for the Portal gun. Getting to places you can't reach, getting to places in the distance, that you can see, but would take you ages to get to. What some people on this thread don't realise, however, is that you need a clear line of site between you and your target, and you can only...

    Games you Desperately Want to be Made. NOW.

    I loved Republic Commando. And the ending left it open for a sequel too.
