Added one last one to my initial list. It's by far the weirdest (which also naturally makes it my favorite).

Yes. Yes to the teamsters. I would love to have underpaid lackeys to do all my tedious adventuring related jobs for me. (It's almost certainly what I would do personally if I had the money. Why the hell would I ever bother hauling my own shit around when I own a horse and can pay 5 people's...

Couple things: 1) If you find the idea of running *any* non-illegal business enterprise in a high fantasy setting totally boring, you have a shitty imagination. I'm sorry, but it's true. Companies in TES mine ore laced with the souls of the dead. They brew booze laced with the blood of...

Real reason: lazy/cheap game design. Contrived and nonsensical reason: go fork up the money for "Levitation" (or w.e the fuck their newest dead albatross-DLC tack on is called) and slog through it if you'd like it.

What moral? I backed the Storm Cloaks purely to spite General Tullius. That sanctimonious prick sentenced me to death without trial and then had the balls to ***** to me about "favoritism" during the peace summit at High Hrothgar. Which is why I slaughtered his army, kicked in the door...

Won't matter, decision will be retconned/ignored within 10 minutes of making it. It'll mean the difference between starting on one end of the hallway dungeon, or the opposite end. Calling it right now.

Wow. So Bioware's last ditch effort to make people give a shit again is to offer them resolution (meaning: a few padded cuddling scenes) to their romantic plotline as part of a paid DLC package. It's exactly what you'd expect from Bioware at this point. Meaning: too little too late and/or...

Relating to the whole "You can't be a Jarl because arbitrary lore constraints demand you remain a nameless figurehead!" thing: It's dumb. I'm sorry, but it's idiotic. If that's the excuse Bethesda are rolling with, then they need a new one. It's flat out dumb to try and build a story wherein...

Heroes of Might and Magic. I like the story, I like the art, I like the concepts. I can't be bothered with the actual game. Whenever I've played an installment of Heroes (except Dark Messiah) I just wind up cheating my ass off and fast tracking the game till I can listen to the epilogue.

For me, it was about the endings. And they let me down about as easily as a free fall from a jet liner without a parachute. I went from denial to depression to apathy to a complete refusal to give Bioware the light of day so long as I live after sitting through them. Don't tell me that "the...

I'm sure threads like this already exist, but I've been dicking around with Skyrim again in light of the new DLC, and I've found myself musing about the game, and I wanna chat. So, here are some factions/archetypes I feel the game could use/has room for: 1) An at least semi-legit...

Very much so. And you, sir, are a vapid moron. And I would love it if the next time a semi coherent gripe about *nothing* pops into your head, if you just let it stay there. The world can get by without your timeless wisdom.

WHINING ABOUT THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WHINE IS BAR-NONE THE MOST IRRITATING FORM OF OBNOXIOUS COMPLAINT. YOU'RE LITERALLY SAYING: "Oh my god, the fact that people get upset is so upsetting. Stop it." YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM IN EVERY GOD DAMN WAY SO GET OFF YOUR FUCKING HIGH HORSE.

Wrong. Ms. Orders-by-Videophone explicitely states that the Marker from the 1st game was ALSO a reverse engineered human contraption. And said Marker never ONCE -not a single time over the course of Dead Space 1- gave any indication of "programming" Isaac, or wanting to replicate itself. All it...

What's to hate? I ran out of giving a shit where Deadspace was concerned around the time that they decided that "The Marker" (y'know, the iconic artifact the 1st game centered around) would do exactly the opposite of what it did in the original in the sequel. 1st Game: You must restore The...
