    Favourite metal/ hard rock singer/ vocalist

    I cannot believe no one mentioned Peter Tagtgren(Hypocrisy) yet. Awesome range and a brilliant technique, definitely my favorite metal singer. Also: Angela Gossow - Arch Enemy Mike Patton - Faith no More, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle, etc. Mortuus - Marduk; he always sounds like he is puking his...

    Is Mario dead? A theory.

    I completely agree, please do not get me wrong. I truly love the above mentioned Mario games for their perfect gameplay and brilliantly designed levels. Of course the Mario games aren't about the story, I don't even think they need one and that is exactly why it was so much fun to think about...

    Is Mario dead? A theory.

    Haha, I love it, but why would Ganon dream about being a hero? Is he really a misunderstood, sad little man(pig) who wants to save the princess instead of kidnapping her?

    Is Mario dead? A theory.

    Hello escapists, I am currently playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and it got me to think about how all the Mario games are (or rather aren't) connected. Two things in particular got me to develop a fun little theory about the Mario universe: 1. Why does every Mario game recycle the same, boring...

    Which game should be a big budget movie production?

    Michael Bay's Katamari Damacy with: Sam Worthington as the Prince, Bruce Willis as the King of All Cosmos and Megan Fox as... well, Megan Fox, who cares?

    "You've never seen ______? Are you serious?!"

    I cant believe a teacher showed Tetsuo in school. That's irresponsible and... well, it's awesome. I once saw an episode of the german "Who wants to be a millionare" and a young guy, maybe 25-30 years old, failed at a very early questions. Now brace yourselfs: the question was something like...

    Guess who just joined the Dark Knight Rises cast...

    Could be, but I agree, it is unlikely. I think the problem with Black Mask and Deathstroke is that they are rather unknown compared to the main villains like Joker, Freeze, Ivy, Catwoman, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, Scarecrow and maybe Bane and Clayface. Then again, we can rule them out, because...

    Guess who just joined the Dark Knight Rises cast...

    Nolan said there won't be a Riddler in DKR. He would be awesome!

    You my friend are absolutely right and a very wise man.

    Scariest Game?

    Silent Hill 2 of course, but I reckon you already played it, because it's awesome. Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is pretty good and has some nice insanity elements that reminded me of Eternal Darkness (also very recommendable). The Project Zero/Fatal Frame series is scary as...

    Zero Punctuation: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

    No, no, no. That's like saying that the game industry is stagnating just because they still make First Person Shooters, or RTS-Games or games of every other existing genre. You can't just invent something completly new every time you develop another game.

    Zero Punctuation: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

    I disagree. Sure, Castlevania plays and feels a lot like God of War and every other game that supposedly "ripped of" God of War, but I don't see it that way. God of War invented (or perfected) a new genre, that is (like all other genres) defined by its gameplay. Of course Castlevania, Dante's...
