    Penalties for disconecting during multiplayer games?

    It's pretty simple. Just don't end the game when the player disconnects. If he shut his machine down to avoid a loss on his record, well he's still going to lose, because the match is still going whether he is there or not. If it's an actual connection problem, then he can attempt to...

    Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

    When I was younger and only had a Gamecube, I managed to play all the way through Starfox: Assault without jumping. Yes, I actually thought you could not jump.

    Your best Skyrim moment

    Sword in one hand, ward spell in the other. Stand directly in a dragon's flame, unharmed, whist cramming the sword down the dragon's throat. Yeah, totally made me feel like a badass.

    Cliches that you hate with a passion.

    "It's quiet. A little TOO quiet.? >_> It's the line characters say when the writers know the audience knows exactly what's about to happen.

    Games that are Undeniably Great

    A lot of these choices are subject, but I'm going to try and keep thing's fairly well rounded. Super Mario World 1/2/3 --All three of these titles beat all other NES games as far as copies sold, and they launched a massive franchise that lives strong to this day. --It can be argued that...

    Why do girls dress up as cats for Halloween?

    It's the cutest dirt-cheap costume a girl can get. Seriously, is there any other costume that is as cheap to make as a cat, but is even cuter?

    Why do people think buying a game new supports the developers?

    I use Steam. There is no store-to-store supply with Steam. When I buy a game, my money goes directly to Valve and the developers that make the game.

    Doctor Who plot holes

    Timey wimey spacey wacey stuff happens. The more you like the show, the stronger your willful ignorance of plot holes will be. So the answer to why some plot holes exist, is "the Doctor is that awesome."

    Syndicate's use of a dubstep artist

    Correction noted. I meant electronica when I said techno. I'll go back and edit that to be correct.

    Non-Renewable Resource Depletion

    Yes, they do. It's called farm subsidy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_subsidy Think globally though. How many people are starving in America compared to Africa? Not many. You know why? Because in many areas of Africa, they don't have any land that crops can grow in. Genetic...

    Syndicate's use of a dubstep artist

    Just fyi, dubstep mostly comes from Jamaican dub music, which is a type of reggae, not dance. It also takes a lot from sub-bass, which first showed up in the early 90's, so I have no idea what 30 years you are talking about. Dubstep is a wholly unique type of electronic music. Also, my...

    Non-Renewable Resource Depletion

    Food really isn't much of an issue. As we continue to genetically modify crops to survive harsher climates and create larger yields, less people will be starving globally. In fact, the efforts of Norman Borlaug have be said to have saved over one billion lives already.

    Syndicate's use of a dubstep artist

    I see dubstep as parallel to metal, both are the extremes of their genres. Forever ago, rock came about. A while later, metal gained popularity. Metal was pretty much the hardcore sub-genre of rock. Likewise, electronica came about and got popular. Now later, dubstep is gaining popularity...

    Instictively trying to use a technique in the wrong game.

    Rocket jumping in Team Fortress 2: Gain tactical advantage, sometimes die. Rocket jumping in Borderlands: Lose health, sometimes die. Strafe while running in 007 Goldeneye/Perfect Dark: Get speed boost, complete missions faster. Strafe while running in Far Cry: No speed boost, lose mission...

    casual gaming

    I prefer to title people by their choice in games, not their gameplay time. Person plays Borderlands for 2 hours a week? Gamer. Person plays Bejeweled for 10 hours a day? Casual gamer. Is it a bad thing to be either person? No. Just ignore the idiots who judge people by a label they...
