The three that I can think of off the top of my head are Pyro 2, Warzone 2100, and Darkest Hour. The first, they say, because of the 'retarted' graphics [http://www.bitannia.com/pyro-ii-world-terrorism], but what they really mean is it is just too bloddy hard for them. The second because it...

It seems to be. I get a lot of people asking if I'm the same DeadlyDad as posts on various forums and comment pages, or shows up in all kinds of games, and the answer is always 'Yup!'. (Well, okay, while I was the only DeadlyDad that showed up in Google for a *long* time, over the last few...

Okayo chocolate wafers from Malaysia. Sooooo good. Also frozen lychee-pineapple bubble tea. OTOH, I've heard from quite a few people crying because they can't get our West Coast Canadian cuisine: Canned Candy-Smoked Salmon Nuggets, and Salmon Corndogs (pieces of salmon on a skewer, dipped in...

Meh. There are a number of fairly good ones here, but none that I would call awesome. Amplify's is pretty cool, though it would be better if the pieces were made of bacon. :)

Before you do something permanent, I would start by printing your design on temporary tattoo paper (for both inkjet [http://www.texascraft.com/hps/product.php?productid=16182&cat=286&page=1] and laser [http://www.texascraft.com/hps/product.php?productid=16546&cat=304&page=1]), and seeing how...

Line Rider: The Rollercoaster. 'Nuff said? How about a Panzer Dragoon rollercoaster rail shooter, where everyone is given a gun to shoot enemies?

Urban Terror, TF2, or Halo 1 (35 kills on Bloody Gulch without firing a single shot - God, but I love me a Warthog!) for run-n-gun fun, UT2004:Invasion or Global Agenda when I feel like RPG'ing, and Darkest Hour when I want to challenge myself with something a little more realistic. (Hip firing...

Well, before last month I would have said 'Betrayal At Krondor' (26MB) It took 3 days & 5 attempts with a 14.4kbps modem because people kept picking up the &%$*&#%& phone. Now, 'Fallen Earth' wins, hands down, with the most ridiculous updating system I've ever seen - it insisted on downloading...

#1 for me has to be in TF2. I forget the map, but it was one with multiple paths. I was a Pyro with a Backburner, and, after flanking three quarters of the way back to the enemy spawn without seeing anyone, I decided to swing back to the middle. I came around a corner, and there they were; an...

While you can't get any greyer than abandonware and emulators, there are hundreds of legitimate open source and freeware titles that are pretty good. Urban Terror [www.urbanterror.net], the Counterstrike clone, springs immediately to mind. For sheer frugality, you'd be hard pressed to find a...

Trebuchet plus six buddies with shotguns. PULL!

179) Fallout 3 doesn't have the scope or flexibility of Gamma World. We get that. You can shut up now.

The first time was while playing Doom, the first FPS I ever played. I was playing on hard difficulty at 3 in the morning with the lights out, using headphones. I was low on health and ammo as I came creeping down a curving set of stairs looking for more. Just as I hit the bottom, I heard a...

Pffft. Nobody matches the sheer range of Tim Curry! 1 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=616PgQCUcp0] 2 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S91U829Ld8] 3 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enr4W6FsSpk]

Hmmmmm..... It's definitely an intriguing idea. How about, because there is no way to make a 'perfect' film, calling it 'Futile Frame'?
