    Poll: Borderlands 2 Classes

    Zero, not even close. Back in Borderlands 1 I was our team's "Boss Killer," and I did it well. I was seriously disappointed with myself if my friends got more than two clips into a Boss/Mini-Boss before I killed it, and I'm certain I'll be reprising that role in BL2. Besides, stealth + sword =...

    If A Random Girl Walks Up and Punches You Would You Hit Her Back?

    I dunno, I think I'd just ask her why she dd that. Calmly, no cursing. I'm really hard to piss off because I've spent years working on my self-control, so I believe I could manage a reasonable response. If she tried it again, I'd just block the punch and continue to try to find out what was...

    Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

    I went through at least 5 games with a quicksave function before I figured out what it meant. /sigh

    Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

    My cousin showed me Brotherhood for the first time, and it took BOTH of us fifteen minutes to figure out how I'd chain-killed twenty guards in his midway-through save file (~8 health squares, middling armor and weapons). I'd played 1 and 2, but the massacre I'd just produced confused the heck...

    What difficulty do you play your games at?

    I play games for game-play, not the challenge. I played for the challenge for a while, and beat games like Devil May Cry, Dark Souls, and Final Fantasy on their hardest settings. I even beat Contra, for crying out loud (Two lives left), but it wasn't FUN. If the game's not fun to play, it's not...

    "no-one in the world is more reviled than a pretty woman" samantha brick

    Best use of satire I've seen in days. Kudos. Personally, I think she did this for publicity, nothing more. "No such thing as bad press," and all that. I'm pretty sure she set this up to generate exactly the reaction it's getting. 'Course, I could just be overestimating her.

    Trivial dislikes and fun stories from Minecraft.

    To quote Yahtzee (not perfectly, from memory)- "This is a game in which the ability to make cakes is a mark of considerable status." That always bugged me. Other than that, I love the game, except for one spawn that literally plopped me smack-middle of a HUGE desert. This was in the days...

    Nitpicking: Forum Debate Etiquette

    Happy faces! :D This is why I created an account on the Escapist. I could count on one hand how many other sites on the internet could have ended a comment discussion this peacefully, and I'd only need two of the fingers.

    Nitpicking: Forum Debate Etiquette

    I apologize for taking your statement as hostile, but I think this means you understand why I dislike posts like that. They have a tendency to spark anger, which is returned, and the "debate" quickly degenerates into a shouting match. I also post with "voice" sometimes, but I find it usually...

    Nitpicking: Forum Debate Etiquette

    Actually, yes, some of us do. More often than not, my arguments consist of plain common sense, and I can't really post a wikipedia link to "common sense" without coming off as bad or worse than the person I am debating. Also, I would ask that you not reply to someone else's post with a...

    Mogworld

    I ordered it via Amazon, and loved it. Very Yahtzee, with lots of dry humor. It was genuinely well-written, and I got every single one of the jokes when he was deliberately poking fun at current-gen MMORPGs. I'd recommend it to anyone.

    Nitpicking: Forum Debate Etiquette

    I completely agree. I think it's because it indicates a complete lack of respect for what you were trying to get across. My own biggest peeve is the people who are generally condescending throughout the debate. I'm not sure what causes them to behave this way, but I seriously doubt they can...
