    Can you pass the US citizenship test?

    Alright, 43 out of 50. Government class finally paid off.

    Concept: A medieval call of duty?

    There already is a game like this, in fact. A Half-Life 2 mod available free on Steam called Age of Chivalry. There's no perks or anything, but it is a medieval first person combat game. It's like playing counterstrike with swords, axes, hammers, bows and crossbows. I've played a fair...

    Poll: Which Mario game should I get my aunt?

    There is a Super Princess Peach, but it's DS exclusive. OT:New Super Mario Bros. for sure. If she's like most people's aunts/grandparents/parents who just bought a Wii then the whole three dimensions thing will probably confound her. Plus then you can actually play the game with her and...

    Poll: How do you think?

    All words here, unless I'm straining my memory for something, in which case mostly images.

    Poll: Do You Like "Catcher in the Rye"?

    Didn't you ever go to school? OT: I got about 3/4 of the way through the book and I just couldn't take anymore. It is a good book, but it doesn't make Holden Caulfield any less detestable.

    Billy Joel Asks to Be in Rock Band 3 Out of Spite

    Okay, all we need to do now is get someone to make some snide comments about a Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd Rock Band and then I'll be set.

    The reason Modern Warfare 2 is so damn popular.

    Modern Warfare 2 is a sequel to a game that sold millions of copies and it was advertised aggressively and successfully. That and the fact that despite it's flaws, there is some good gameplay in there, is the reason it's so popular.

    What games do you flat-out suck at?

    Fighting games, puzzle games and CounterStrike. My god how I've grown to hate CounterStrike. Every other game I've spent HALF as long on as CS I at least got half way decent at. But 2 or 3 years with CS and I still just can't get that game.

    Poll: How many games do you buy each year?

    Eighteen, though several of those games were used or marked down. I also still plan on buying, at the least, Black Ops and Civ V. I'm going to try and work in Fable III and FIFA 11 as well, maybe even Halo Reach. And I'm sure there's another game or two that will come out in the coming months...

    Multiplayer: what is the big deal?

    The only "problem" with multiplayer is a problem of perspective. For instance, a vast majority of people who complain about whiny kids online, or loudmouthed douchebags admittedly hate or rarely play online multiplayer anyway. In reality, most games (at least in MW2) not a single word is...

    Geeks, are you athletes too?

    I wouldn't say I'm athletic, but I love playing sports. Played various sports growing up, even played soccer on my high school team. Now I'm relegated to playing ultimate frisbee on the weekends with friends and pick up soccer games occasionally, but there are few activities I find as...

    DJ Hero Defies "Flop" Label, Sells a Million

    So now that it has apparently enjoyed a decent level of success, Activision will probably beat it into the ground with yearly sequels and rapper/DJ specific spin-off editions.

    What have you played today?

    MW2 mostly, a little FIFA 10 cause I got the World Cup fever and some Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword on DS.

    Looking For Good Books

    I'm reading the Revelation Space series right now. It's a hard sci-fi space opera trilogy written by Alastair Reynolds. It's got some great characters and great plot hooks that make you want to keep reading. So, check out the first book I guess, Revelation Space. Also, on a sci-fi side...

    Your scariest video game encounter.

    REmake on gamecube. I made my first foray into the hallway on the right side of the mansion prepared from my experience with the PS1 version of RE. Nothing happened, so I decided the devs must have taken it out because everyone already knew it would be there. After about my twentieth...
