    World of Warcraft vs. Guild Wars

    DDO (Dungeons & Dragons Online) is decent. Weird not being able to control camera with mouse though. Although, imo WoW>GW. Although. MMO just aren't my thing. But a free MMO is free for a reason. WoW costs fifteen dollars a month for a reason.

    What is your biggest gaming pet peave?

    In shooters that require you to work as a team (that is, shooters with classes and have some idea of balance; see Battlefield) everyone has a mic but nobody talks/plans shit out. Bad camera. Ninja Gaiden 2 is bad for fighting the giant troll. Run between its legs to escape super ground stomp...

    Sucky Portrayal

    Hm. Well. Basically anything that's super-destructive in most games. Especially an rts. Just to balance the game. The Alien (see: Xenomorph) in any AVP rts. Why? Because according to everything about Aliens, one Alien is equal to ten marines. As in, one Alien can slaughter ten marines. But in...

    Weapons You Would Like To See More Of In Games

    Honestly? A modern crossbow. Not some medieval junk that's good. But a modern crossbow that's almost as accurate as a rifle. It'd be awesome. With explosive-tipped bolts. Think of something like that in COD? See someone running by you. All of a sudden BAM! There's a crossbow bolt sticking out of...

    Poll: Standing up to people

    Eh. Honestly, I've been blessed with being tall and built like a brick shit-house (never understood that term anyway), so it's rare that some unfortunate asshole tries to pick on me. That and I'm a pretty friendly person from the get-go, so I don't have a world of people wanting to jump me on...

    what is your favorite weapon in borderlands?

    I have a few on my 50 Hunter. The Lightning Storm 10010001 (or whatever). It's an Eridian shotty that does 202x8 with 'lectric damage. It's my "OMG Rakk!" or "Holy shit I just walked through the base when all the mobs respawned!" weapon, because it kills most everything before a recharge...

    A Gaming PC and all that brings with it.

    After thinking, mostly fps games. As in. Borderlands, Fallout 3, Morrowind. As well, the mods that are Killing Floor, the realistic halflife mod (forget what it is called), e.t.c. e.t.c. And a few rts games. But yer. As far as fps/graphics go. I really don't care much about graphics...

    A Gaming PC and all that brings with it.

    Alright gents. I've been through the 360 and a PS3, and well. Yeah. The last generation of consoles was awesome. The only time I ever had problems with them at any time was playing the crash-tastic Morrowind (which is still the greatest game. Evar. /discussion) But the 360 and PS3 are trash...

    Unique bosses.

    Honestly. The bosses in the Ninja Gaiden games. Why? Well, because they don't have some gimmick that you hum and haw over, get killed a few times, figure out the oh-so-exploitable weak spot, be forever the master of said boss. The bosses in Ninja Gaiden were. Well, real bosses. They were...

    Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

    So. I've played both Ninja Gaidens on the XBox/360. And damn. Psychotic, but fun. Some serious camera issues, but not too huge. But yeah. Anyways, so I've rented NGS2, because I absolutely love the game and can't stand the fact that I rage-quite on the final form of the final boss. Seriously...

    The most annoying game enemy?

    This. So annoying at lower levels. But if you don't kill them, they just mass together and kill you. Sooooo irritating. Then at higher levels, you got through a big fight, wanna rest. "You can't rest when enemies are in the area." Fuck. But yeah. Endgame. Summon Daedric longbow, get...

    Poll: Usernames

    Um. Well, my nickname was Captain Rob through grades 8-10. When I finally (FINALLY) got a 360 and Live, it was taken. One of the suggestions was HalfCaptainRob. And I dunno. It stuck.

    The Broken Economy Is Your Fault

    Hm. As far as the Oblivion/Morrowind economy goes, well, you're never really a part of it after the first quarter (or sixteenth if you know what you're doing) of the game. Really. By then none of the stores have items that are equal to the loot you... well, loot from dungeons, so really...

    Whats your backup!?

    Hm. I would say a pack of raptors equipped with rpgs, riding flying great white sharks with laser beams attached to their heads. /thread oh. and a kitten.

    Too Many Buttons

    While an interesting idea, there isn't really a problem with the amount of buttons on modern controllers. Gamers are gamers because they can play video games, so the controller is almost always intuitively used by them. Think about a martial artist, they didn't have some easy version of what...
