Not a game character, BUT Kai Winn from Star Trek DS9. Never has a fictional character inspired so much unbridled hate from me. Probably what makes the show so damn compelling.

XCOM: UFO Defense. Always. Pretty much later this year when that XCOM FPS piece of tripe comes out, I'm going to end up sitting in front of DosBox with earplugs in, singing "LALALALA" as loud as I can.

Shadow of the Colossus... That entire game.

Might as well throw down, as I know fuckall about graphic novels. I've never really gotten into the scene, and even less so since I got a Lit. degree. Still, when I was young I thought this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Empire) was the bees-knees.

If one is Polish, wait, I don't think I understand the question. Should I be taking offense to this?

This is a point of discussion that drives me nuts, because, I too, have gotten the response "it would be good, but it's too linear." Since when is this bad? If people are going to consistently stand up for games as a wonderful storytelling device, they have to understand that 90% of storytelling...

I would hope that those interested would go through ME1, in order to feel more connected to the outcomes and interactions in ME2. However, creating and running a play-through of ME1 (perhaps 2 times if one wanted to re-do things) would suck up A LOT of time for someone who is just interested in...

I'm a total fanboy on this, but the Myst saga should have ended with Riven. Exile was just a gimmick, as was everything after.

I get that. I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. Myself? I love how chaotic the game can get, yet I will agree that "leader break-away syndrome" can happen and can be a deal breaker to some folks. However there are numerous places on the web, where people have tried to address ways to...

Are you kidding? That's the only way one SHOULD play. It provides the most challenge and (depending on the number of players) it provides the best irreverent cluster catastrophes in the game, which are always a blast. To each his own, I suppose. Were you playing the original, or the re-release...

I'm also a HUGE Diplomacy fan. Honestly, this game is awesome in person. The way to do it is to arrange a social event around playing game. Give everyone time constraints on when to submit their turn orders, and the rest of time folks are mingling and socializing (and conspiring?). It's serious...

Don't see much discussion along this front, so I figured I'd ask what everyone's favorite board games are. Mine is the unequaled "Robo Rally" - (The original edition as the re-issue a few years ago included new game mechanics that broke the game in my opinion). Robo Rally (for me) is the...

Mass Effect 1 When it first came out (of coarse I wasn't as game centric then as I am now) a housemate of mine rented it and I watched him play it for a bit, and it looked like the most boring and tedious space opera dreck imaginable. I later came to the realization that this is just that...

I grew up in Spokane and have fond memories of both John and Merlyn's. In fact I'm pretty sure I spent a majority of my childhood in his first comic book/gaming shop "Gorilla Bob's" - Oh the memories... I talked to my father recently and I guess this isn't the first time he's run for public...
