You know you've been playing too much Fallout when you worry about the dangers of drinking from the tap and toilet. You know you've been playing too much TF2 when you wear hats more frequently to make yourself feel more important than everyone else. You know you've been playing too much...

Personally, I think variation is more of an issue than just being able to be a villain; granted, evil roles are far and few between in video games, but every good/evil game I've played is spelled out in black and white. For example, if (in a generic RPG) you come across a petty thief just...

EDIT: Didn't realize the Heisenberg one had already been done, hopefully mathematician toilet humor will suffice: Did you hear about the constipated mathematician?

Totally; doing pretty much anything for $10m a year is worth every penny. It'd be easy too - just be boring and keep to yourself. Seriously, unless you're extremely attractive all the time, it's unlikely you'd get many perverts watching you use the bathroom, and if you remain normal and...

Church and State (OH SNAP!) I harbor a dislike for both, but considering they make some people happy, they function well enough individually and make a complete clusterfuck when combined, I think they can be categorized here.

Absolutely ridiculous; if anything, she needs to learn to not blow petty things out of proportion. Yes, he was racist. Yes, he was ignorant. Yes, the guy behind the desk made things worse. But to label an entire nation racist because of one man? Regardless, it's pretty disgusting that she has...

Pretty certain that the entire change from American slow zombies to British fast zombies was at least popularized by Danny Boyle's "28 Xs Later" series (in the same way that Romero's "X of the Dead" series moved the concept of zombies from foreign voodoo into western viral pandemic)...

I think Yahtzee sums my opinion up in a nutshell nicely (that, and I'm not interesting enough to add anything valid to this thread): "I've never really understood the almost crusader-like fervor that consoles attract. Most people would say it's because your mum is only prepared to buy you one...

Good luck, it's gonna get worse. Lots of older people will force "traditions" on you more as time passes. If you don't believe me, get a female from your friends/family to tell a group of older people she either doesn't want to marry or have children; at least one of them will be outraged...

It's nothing to do with piracy, really; it's just another damn excuse to make money. By using piracy as an excuse, they can attempt to justify gathering more profits, whilst reducing profits for second hand game shops. It's exactly the same as the whole "DLC expansions" where, unless you buy...

It seems the only three options are available: 1. Don't break the law; annoy them. Simply do everything they hate in front of them. That'll show them. 2. Break the law; annoy/attack them. It's well known that fear is a brilliant weapon to get your way. As are killer bees. 3...

The Call of Duty series; I prefer games that aren't infamous for their large amounts of stereotypical, spoiled, white children that use slurs for every other noun and the f-word for every adjective/adverb. That and I prefer more realistic war games like Battlefield. Also, the Mass Effect...

Immersion choices. I absolutely love tense games like the pre-reboot Splinter Cells, or film-esque games like Alan Wake, but why in the name of hell can't I get rid of or alter the massive, glaring, bright white HUD that shrouds my screen? Granted, games almost always need to give you...

I have a strong felling that humans will be hoist by their own petard (i.e. global warming or some indirect suicide), but since there's no option for my opinion in the poll, here's my concept in colour and bold for Earth's demise: Nothing sudden or terrifying will happen. Life will...
