I'm kinda suprised at how many people in this thread nearly ended up being called 'Zack' or variations thereof. I am not one of them; I actually ended up named Zachary. And it made me who I am today no doubt... not a jerk as someone proposed. Just a lazy, lazy geek heh. I think having a...

I'd say that overall, Lego itself has become more kiddy over time. Its somewhat of a cliche, like "back in my day, we only had 2x4 bricks and we liked it", but too much of modern Lego is made up of big molded lumps. Not that it excuses people being jerks about it. I'm sure most everyone at...

Coincidentally, I was looking through my old school books the other day. To my horror, I realised I had blanked out pretty much all memory of reading "I'm the King of the Castle" by Susan Hill, but just the summaries I'd written was enough to bring it all flooding back. Just about the most...

Farscape, seriously. It was my Firefly, I guess. As in: it was awesome... when I used to actually watch TV... and at what you'd probably call 'prime time'. Though it ran longer of course, so maybe 4 seasons doesn't count as failure. But it sure felt like it when they did thier 'tie up all...

I'm going to say S3&K, but by the tiniest of margins. Second is Sonic Rush Adventure... but in actual fact, you might as well say its joint first, since I like both for different reasons. S3&K was just a very well constructed game... level design, routes, all that. Rush 2 is good for the...

I don't mind camping (except spawn camping, obviously). It's more annoying in games without any kind of 'killcam' or such, because really, once you know where they are you should know better than to just walk back in. And even without killcams, if you know the level at all you should at least be...

I'm a little suprised that no-one has mentioned the whole racial Militia thing that got added recently. If you want to get into PvP, but not the whole ubernerd politics, then I say go for the militias. You will always have targets to shoot at least. I've played EVE nearly since Beta (I...

Back in the day, I somehow managed to overwrite windows boot sequence with Micromachines 2. So as soon as you turned the computer on, just after bios and dos, straight into Micromachines. Lucky for me it was still dos though, fixable in the end. Also, the internal soundcard in this PC had a...

I can't remember why, but my parents got me a car boot sale Atari ST with a bunch of random discs as my first gaming computer heh: Buggy Boy, Starquake, Supercars 2, Wizball, Marble Madness, Bubble Bobble, IK+, Arkanoid 2, Kickoff 2, Metrocross, Oids, Pac Mania, Zynaps, E-Motion and then some...

Battlefield is only vaugely close to this idea. Commanders in Battlefield didn't really 'command' but just 'sugested' where squads (assuming the other players had made any) should go and more often than not were ignored. So they spent thier time dropping artillery on snipers in the middle of...

Interesting. I kinda figured this might not be Yahtzees kind of game, so fair enough on the complaining really. Though it's fair enough to say the Smash series may be a 'button masher', in that you could still play the game through random mashing, its not a button masher in the traditional...

Some of the bounty bosses in Skies of Arcadia Legends were pretty damn difficult I seem to remember. Like that... fat guy... with his money attack cat thing... Okay, so I haven't played the game in years (somehow lost my copy), but I distinctly remember the rediculous difficulty and...

Classic TA is still awesome so many years on. Sorry, but SupCom just can't live up to it. World in Conflict gets a mention too for finally being an RTS that I can play online. Doing away with the traditional bases and resorces system 'fixed' the problems I had. The last time I tried an RTS...

I'm sure I've already said this before plenty (and on this forum too even?), but every time this kind of topic turns up I have to say Hostile Waters. UK PC Gamer (back in the good old days) got really excited about Hostile, with a big old preview and the demo and all that, but when it hit...

The Peewee was so much better than the AK it wasn't even funny heh. And then you got a tank with the Peewees guns on it too. Speaking of TA reminded me of the added units. I can't remember which expansion it was, but the rapid fire versions of the long range artillery were just awesomely...
