    Ways Games Have Unexpectedly Impacted Your Life

    Strangely Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater changed how I played video games and perceived death and killing in all forms of media, as well as in real life. There's a section where you are confronted by the Sorrow, a near death experience sort of thing where you walk down a river. And as you go...

    Revisiting The Last of Us

    The problem I have with the Last of Us is how artificial the mechanics are. Ammo is scarce so you have to make each shot count, right? Buy why is it scarce? I just strangled a dude with a gun but he didn't drop any ammo. Why not? I can carry nearly a dozen weapons but I can only store a few...

    Well Liked/Reviewed Games...That You *Didn't* Enjoy.

    Yeah I'm going to stick my hand up and say the Last of Us. I literally cannot understand why it got the reviews and the love it did.

    Poll: Playstyles and You

They were a major reward, and usually were part of the, you know, climax. When you get one every ten or fifteen minutes, and in fact half the...

    Well done to the All Blacks!!

    New Zealand won by a single point, and the French played their hearts out. But as the AB's have learnt on multiple, heart-wracking occasions before, a win is a win. All the stats don't matter, except the one at the top; the score. Well done to both teams, and thank God we won. I can't even...

    Dragon Age 2: Please Help!

    This is my first post ever and I'm breaking my vows of silence and lurker-dom for this, so please bear with me. I brought Dragon Age 2 today and after installing it for PC I get an error message saying that it won't allow me to run the game on a Windows guest account, or an account without...
