    First game you ever played?

    Mechwarrior 2: Titanium. Instilled a love for all things 100 ton walking death machine with twin linked PPC's.Though to be honest, it took me a while to figure out how to actually get my mech to walk.

    Favorite environment in a game?

    Urban environments, with the caveat being that they have to try and provide an interesting aesthetic instead of grey enemies amid grey rubble firing grey bullets from grey guns at Corporal Grey.

    Why has no one done anything like Homeworld?

    I wouldn't say it's a fear of complexity; the industry changes and cycles, and some genres have longer times between resurgences in popularity. After all Sins of a Solar Empire came about as a dedicated multiplayer game based around a similar concept that's great, though as you mentioned, a...

    Help with New Vegas Blues(Ish)

    Honestly, I kind of prefer New Vegas to Fallout 3. Now, I'll agree that the first bit till you get to new Vegas is a bit linear, but as others have said you don't have to follow the route the game gives you, and you can wander (O hai Cazadors!) though again, at lower levels its bit of a...

    You must assemble a 7-person team to combat attacking aliens.

    Alex Mercer: the Crazy- between parkour, being a living arsenal, and not having a moral compass, perfect for suicide missions. Also the ability to perfectly copy people is useful. Special Agent Francis York Morgan: the Brains- master investigator and 'people person'. Also incredibly good at...

    Place you hate to visit in games

    The Deep Roads, in Dragon Age: Origins. The game pulls the the drag chutes, and you have to deal with a long dungeon crawl, facing multiple bosses and huge mobs of enemies guarding ostensibly nothing but side rooms. There's maybe a handful of useful items down there, and unless you packed...

    I just watched Capitalisam.A love story....Why the fuck don't you do something about it?

    To me Michael Moore is essentially the liberal version of Glenn Beck, though in my opinion Moore is slightly more palatable and a tad less insane.

    So, I'm trying to write a book... UPDATED

    The problem I'm going to point out here is that there's a problem concerning how the characters and objects relate to one each other, and why. See, we get the massive blast, and that's fine, but we don't know how that relates to the restaurant itself. Is our assailant coming through the wall if...

    Homefront, implosibility in games.

    To be fair, it does raise questions as to the possibility of a Homefront disk imploding.

    Homefront, implosibility in games.

    My main problem is that it's a game with a single player campaign that is under five hours long advertised as a AAA title, much in the same way ODST was released with a campaign that could completed in three hours or less, and a single game mode besides. While I've seen that homefront has decent...

    Why is fire not alive?

    I think another issue with defining fire as alive, by the OP's standards, is that by his own rules anything is alive. He bases that part of the argument on "if we met an alien made of energy", which is not scientific evidence, merely tom foolery with a hint of pseudo philosophy. The scientific...

    Big Bang, Halo Style!

    How bout errr.... Mass Effect? That's all I got. No wait! Maybe Half Life! Anyhoos, yeah the Halo doohickeys only kill organic Flood free life. Which doesn't make sense because physics does not work that way.

    Swearing on XBL

    I've been pretty lucky. I've had one person go after my gamertag, which is the same time as my forum name. Turning the mike off usually is fine for me when someone decides to rave. More mainstream games like Halos, both Gears, and COD 4, have most of the preteens/teens/jerks. I've had great...

    Is Team Fortress 2 for 360 worth it?

    It's a nice, stream lined shooter that's a good deal of fun, occasionally frustrating, but has a lot of good moments. It's worth a shot on the console, and I've been able to find some good sixteen player games on 2Fort most times.Unfortunately, the community isn't huge, like on the PC, but there...

    The end of gaming

    There's still a lot of impetus behind it, and since the technological plateau has pretty much been reached, maybe will get some better stories (take that with a mountainous pile of salt). As to the above poster who talked about repeats, well, Shakespeare wrote some of the best tragedy plays as...
