Nope, it's only called stalking when you don't pass the minimum, arbitrary threshold for "hotness" because if you're handsome as hell, you can get away with just about anything. If you're hot, it's sweet, if you're ugly, it's creepy and you're a loser.

"Frustration grows exponentially for every second or dialogue box that passes between the player character's death and putting them back in the action, and even something as initially innocuous as "Try Again" starts to feel sarcastic and patronizing the darker one's mood gets." Oh god this is...

Hm, I guess I'm in the minority here but I really would have liked to see a sequel to Alpha Protocol. Yes, Obsidian makes things with a ton of bugs, but I really enjoyed that game and thought it could be interesting with a little more polish and a better voice actor for Michael Thornton...

Good god, how'd you manage that? My parents place gets really spotty internet but I'll sit there for 20 minutes fighting to get a connection even if it means only going to one or two sites.

Yes, I think it's time for a new console generation. I know consoles are never going to reach the level of graphical fidelity and power that PC's can achieve, but that's not what I want from a new console generation. If the graphics stayed pretty much the same, I would be fine with that. What...

My best friend actually gave me some egg nog with maybe a half shot of bourbon and it was DAMN DELICIOUS. Makes me want some right now. I don't know the correct proportions for ingredients, but even drinking cold egg nog without alcohol is fantastic.

lol good for you. That's exactly what I think whenever I see one of these "I DON'T LIKE THIS POPULAR GAME" threads. I don't understand the point of them at all, I mean, at least some people ask (strangely) for you to convince THEM to enjoy THEIR game, which is almost as frustrating but not...

Or it could be that users tend to wildly exaggerate either praise or (usually) criticism of a game. It doesn't take long flipping through the user reviews on Metacritic to find reviews that point out one little flaw in the game and the score given is a 6/10. Not to mention that I think a...

So what made you decide to join the Navy? I might be headed that way in a few months myself and I always like hearing stories about what made people decide to join. Also, good luck buddy. I wish you the best.

I can't say I love watching Let's Plays because there are a lot of crappy ones out there and a lot of the time I'd rather play the games than watching them be played. That being said, I LOVE watching Chip Cheezum and General Ironicus. They work extremely well together and with Chip's...

Completely agreed. I'm a little self-conscious since I'm a big guy (6'1", 210 lbs from sports and working out) and sometimes girls treat me like I'm Lurch or a fucking ogre and it just kills me. I'm a kind, friendly person, but damnit, I don't like being treated like that.

I like playing defense, personally. I love using a support gun like an LMG and trying to predict where the offense is going to attack from, and setting up a killzone from a decent position. It's great fun in Battlefield 3. Attacking is a little more tricky since everyone seems to have...

My brother tried to get me to stop liking games by making me grind levels for him so I would A) get me off his back while he was trying to do stuff by himself and B) so he could just play through the story without having to grind levels. Well, it had the opposite effect and I actually love...

I don't get it. Did I do something wrong? I never heard a voice, and I played the game like 5 times with different combinations of choices every time and I never heard anything.

Yeah, actually, I agree with that. I didn't understand why everyone was up in arms about the single player because I enjoyed it. It was a little unforgiving at times, but nothing that was so frustrating that I felt like I was dying pointlessly. Sometimes I honestly feel like there's a bit...
