    I'm another who's started just changing the year to something before 1990 and not wasting my time putting it in accurately. Wish I could just enter it without going through drop down menus. I wouldn't mind it if sites actually remembered your damn birthdate (gametrailers, steam for example)...

    Star Wars Visual F/X Artist Grant McCune Dies

    Another dead from something completely preventable, sigh.. More and more continue to get piled on for reasons why I hate the country I've lived in my entire life. People needlessly keep dying, I can't stand it, but I won't angrily rant here. Cliche, but, Requiescat in pace..

    Weapons too seldomly used

    Surprised yet also not so surprised to see so many mentions of scythes listed on just the first page. That's my vote, scythes. Most awesome melee weapon ever and if there's a game which has a wieldable scythe in it I get all giddy. That said, there's a thread similar to this, but not...

    Question of the Day, December 18, 2010

    To me, running a bot in a MMORPG is like hacking in a FPS. It's cheating, unfair, it ruins competitiveness, but most of all it ruins the community, the economy. I have fun competing in leveling races in MMORPGs, but there's people who bot (or account share), meaning I, and many others who...

    How did you become the gamer you are today?

    If how I became a gamer in general: Super Mario Brothers on the NES when I was 3. If how I become the gamer I am at present time: I played too many damn RPGs that I burned out of the genre. Sad because RPGs are my favorite genre. Grew up playing a great many RPGs on consoles, moved on...

    Games that should have been the next Halo, Super Mario, or Ocarina of Time, but weren't.

    Don't know why I didn't see the first comment about ZoE.. I was stuck at the train for a few weeks. Damn games get harder as I get older for some reason, but hey, at least I have more anger management now. I want another ZoE game. I can't recall ever playing anything like Zone of the Enders.

    Just tried out Onlive.

    I'll chime in again. I had no technical problems with OnLive, even in beta, though I have an internet connection capable of streaming multiple 1080p media streams and I was located fairly close to their DC server. (NJ) All I have are gripes. I don't like how the image quality looks, I...

    Games that should have been the next Halo, Super Mario, or Ocarina of Time, but weren't.

    ^ Threads of Fate was one of the earlier RPGs I played when I was younger. I became quite emotionally attached to it. ActRaiser was a unique game for its time too. I liked the platforming and graphical style of the second game more. @ Tribes: This game made me who I am today. Was the...

    Just tried out Onlive.

    http://blog.onlive.com/2010/01/21/beta-testing-at-the-speed-of-light/ Note: They could've changed it by now, but this is back when we were doing beta testing. Got the link out of my e-mail.

    Obscure Gaming Quotes

    Omfg, I played that back in school. I could never remember the name of it but I remember the graphics. I can't believe there's games I played that I could never ever remember unless shown a screenshot from them. Edit: Micro Man! I should replay it and see what it's like again. I remember...

    Is anyone replaying any old games?

    I've been spoiled by recent games and trying to play an older game is rather hard for me. That said, I replayed Starcraft for the 6th time about 2 months ago. Currently trying to play through Planescape: Torment for the first time (yes, the first time), but having grown up playing RPGs...

    Poll: What Browser do you use the most?

    Seeing no votes for internet explorer made me spontaneously laugh, not sure why. I stayed true to IE for years.. IE6 that is. I gradually made the change to Firefox due to compatibility issues on sites with IE6. I still use IE (v8 64bit, no more Windows XP) for some quick secure things as FF...

    Poll: "Ingredients in a Chicken McNugget" or "You Want me to Eat What Now?"

    Au contraire, it is killing you, it's just not doing so based on your view. I wish more people would realize this. @OP: I remember reading an article about this a few weeks ago. I can't find it right now, but I found something relevant to it...

    "This is the hardest game ever"

    I destroyed 2 PS2 controllers before I 100% completed Shinobi. I also left my PS2 on for a week on the final boss on the hardest difficulty. Was when I first learned PS2s can overheat. I'm glad it never shutdown, just slowed the clocks down, so the games ran quite slow. Then I took my...

    Zero Punctuation: Mafia II

    Maybe it's already been mentioned, but the audio quality is worse than previous videos. Why is that? I do hope it won't affect future reviews.
