    Phrases that piss you off

    My biggest frustration is "I could care less" to show apathy.

    Aww man why'd they ruin it?!

    Fallout's hunting rifle. Between 3 and New Vegas the rifle went from being everywhere and highly effective (low AP cost) especially at mid-range to considerably higher damage (around 2x) but an astronomical cost that meant buying and maintaining it was a pain in the backside for the relaive...

    Subs over Dubs: Which Anime turned you into a 'Purist'?

    For me it was Initial D. Started watching the dub, but accidentally clicked to watch a sub episode and never looked back. As a petrol head, the sub goes into extra detail and more detailed explanations of how things like turbo chargers work. Conversely, certain anime I prefer dubs. Hellsing...

    Games you haven't played in a while that you've got an itch to play again.

    Judge me all you want but I am sorely tempted to pick up a copy of WET again. Beat it and traded it in a year back but now really want something so tongue in cheek. That and Bulletstorm, again a game I wish I had never traded in

    Rockstar: Don't Install Grand Theft Auto V Play Disc

    I can't see why everyone is so surprised. It's like everyone forgets it was the same with Skyrim (albeit just the single disc) until a later patch: choppy gameplay and framerate issues when playing from a hdd install.

    Song Covers that are better then the original?

    For me it's: Emily Browning's version of Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) from the Sucker Punch soundtrack Lacuna Coil's covers of Enjoy the Silence and Losing My Religion Rammstein's cover of Kraftwerk's The Model and Depeche Mode's Stripped Reel Big Fish did a fantastic ska/punk version...

    Fear of Completion

    Ok, so looking round there are threads asking about phobias/fears or frustration getting in the way of completing a game. My question is this: are there any other forum users that do not complete games because they have a fear of the adventure/story being over, despite wanting to find out the...

    Music you just discovered

    While searching Pantera on youtube I found Dixie Hustler, Texas Hippie Coalition. I recently was introduced to Gogol Bordello (Ukranian-New York Folk-Punk), for me a logical progression from Alestorm (Scottish Pirate Metal) and Turisas (Finnish Viking Metal), what can I say, I like the obscure...

    The best value game you have bought?

    Fallout 3. Got the standard edition for £5, played about 140hrs on that, then got the GOTY for £15, sold the standard for £10 and since had 3 more play throughs with all DLC, probably about 350hrs total. Also Skyrim for £15 was a pretty sweet deal but only put about 40hrs into that so far, curse...

    Moments in Games that Made you Cry

    I always feel a welling up when a location is revealed to me. Leaving the Vault in FO3, seeing the strip lit up at night from a distance in New Vegas, My first steps through Rapture. Plus the good ending for Bioshock had me feeling like I had saved my soul

    Blasphemy! Covers that you like more than the original.

    +1 Turisas Alestorm's cover of I Am A Cider Drinker by the Wurzels Marilyn Manson's cover of You're So Vain from the new album Emily Browning's version of Sweet Dreams from Sucker Punch

    People Never Shut Up In Bioshock Infinite

    In the sense of Infinite being set in a living city, I can perfectly understand the conversations, as long as previously said, it doesn't interrupt the flow of the game. In the first Bioshock I liked silent Jack. It made me feel as though I was isolated in this underwater nightmare where for the...

    The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Movie

    Surely an alien race would have no need to live in a sewer and would never meet Splinter.... on a related note, Bay does realise the Turtles were created by the same stuff that blinded Daredevil (in the comics) thus grounding their origins on this planet. Spent last night watching Bad Boys to...

    Games you consider overrated

    Where to begin, firstly by saying I'm a single-player campaign gamer not an online gamer GTA IV I agree with, fun for a while but didn't hold my attention, and I have even less time for the DLC Call of Duty franchise, while I've played the last 5 iterations they are far too hyped for the...

    Mediocre/bad games you just can't stop playing.

    Far Cry 2, I finished it not long after it came out, was fed up by the 2nd map but wanted to finish the story, glad it was over by the end. However, every few months I get the urge to play it again and again, only to be reminded in a matter of hours why it irritated me the first time
