    Jimquisition: Why Do People Hate EA?

    I have to say, EA puts out some of my favorite games, and I much prefer them to Activision. That said, everything you just said is absolutely true about them, they need to change and until it becomes less apparent that their high level corporate management is an evil cabal of exceptionally...

    Fictional characters you'd date for non-physical reasons

    I got a few, I guess. Saber from Fate/Stay Night stands out. I find her sense of honor and duty simultaneously admirable and tragic in equal measure. Seriously, what a great character. Its a testament to the quality of that visual novel that my computer backgrounds went from 100% Warhammer...

    Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Hands On

    There hasn't been a console shooter that recaptured the team-based experience I had with the two GRAW games. I hope this will be the one to do so, and I've dug up my Conviction disk in order to find out. Bring on the beta.

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    Of course that counts! My Dark Heresy games are always more about narrative and fun than sticking to the rules anyway. The best part about being DM is bullshitting everyone in any case. Thanks for all the responses everyone! This thread is way bigger than I had dared to hope!

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    I can understand your inclination. The M1911 is my favorite pistol of all time. I have three, one of which was my Grandfather's. He carried through WW2, from Alaska to Guam. Its pretty beat up, but that's part of it's charm. I don't shoot that one, though it probably still works. The other...

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    I am a bit of a gun nut myself. Without going into too much detail, my favorite piece is likely the 1938 Mosin Nagant rifle I got through a specialty retailer last year. Great condition, shoots like a dream. Been trying to find a good surplus bayonet for it, but its hard to find an authentic one.

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    And here I had this vague idea of you as some sort of beastmaster assassin type, slapping targets with a cricket bat from the back of your massive Indian, Francesca. ... You know, I'm making that a story. I can already see the movie rights...

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    I admit, I am VERY interested to hear how the elephant came to be a thing that you care for/ride.

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    You know, I forgot one. An important one, I think. Visual Novels: Not near as common as the others I listed, for a variety of reasons. Some of the best narratives and characters I have seen came from here, and I am immensely glad I took a chance on looking up Fate/ Stay Night and what it was...

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    Metropolis is quite the film. There are few works of fiction that have more impact on today's culture. It says a lot that modern Science Fiction still examines the same themes as that movie did a century ago. I am partial to The General myself, we lost something when silent comedy went out of...

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    You know, I've always wanted to learn the Guitar, but I have all the musical abilties of a drunk walrus. Couldn't even do the recorder in middle school, heh.

    What are your hobbies, other than gaming?

    So, I was looking through the forums today in a bout of boredom, and I noticed some trends among you, my fellow internet men and women. Namely, it seems that even the hobbies and interests we have besides videogaming seem to largely align. I don't think that impression is entirely true, so I...

    Quotes from fictional characters that made you stop and think or have stuck with you.

    If you cannot defeat your enemy with the weapon you do have, then imagine one with which you could. - Archer from Fate Stay Night (Visual Novel) I love this quote because, while it has a direct meaning in context, you can apply it to pretty much any situation and I think it still has...

    The Baldur's Gate Countdown Begins!

    Had I the power, I would permaban you for that. Not from the Escapist, from life. I nearly had a heart attack, you inconsiderate monster.

    What's the greatest weakness of your Skyrim character?

    Ithan, the Breton battlemage has few weaknesses, once you take into account his Legendary Blades armor, Dawnbreaker, and mastery of the arcane art of Destruction. He is somewhat miffed that his shouts seem to do less and less as time goes on. But it's all right, Lydia is there to help him in...
