    Costumes of Gen Con 2010

    "There are some who call me...Tim." I wonder if that's what the sorcerer guy was going for?

    265: Punching the Baby Seal of PC Gaming

    I gave up trying to play Assasin's Creed because every cutscene crawled by in a stuttering, lagging mess. No. Just no.

    265: Curing the Noobonic Plague

    I've been gaming since I was seven, but when I started college, everyone I knew was playing Halo 2; a game I'd never played from a genre I wasn't familiar with. I got owned consistently for months. FPSs have a harsh learning curve even for those experienced with general gaming conventions.

    E for Everyone, Except Me

    Escape to the Movies: Avatar

    I enjoyed the movie greatly. The main problem I had was the prerequisite "inspirational speech": WAAAAY overdone, totally took me out of the film for about ten minutes (but considering how long the good part of the film was, I could ignore those ten minutes). I would have joined the Na'vi...

    Unskippable: The Last Remnant

    Prepare to be fired upon by the Dong of Destiny! Reminded me of a certain sequence from the Austin Powers movies.

    Is sexting really a big problem as the media makes it seem?

    It's ill-advised, but the media tends to focus on and sensationalize things like this and downplay more complicated issues in order to up their ratings.

    Poll: Which Pandora do you choose?

    Avatar's if I could be soul-transplanted into a NA'Vi body. Life has a simplicity there that Earth lost about 7,000 years ago.

    Your Trademark Clothes?

    Jeans, T-shirt (typically with a skull motif, but my dracula shirt is my favorite), sometimes an open, patterned button shirt, and a black leather wristband.

    Unskippable: Red Faction: Guerilla

    Anyone else think that the main character looked like a firefighter? He even had reflectors on his coat... ANYWAY, good job.
