    Having just finished Planescape: Torment, it's not THAT well written, is it?

    Totally with you. I had a similar situation with a friend who was annoyed that I made him watch some Babylon 5 because he says it is boring. I said well it might seem so now but don't forget how old that show is and back then that story arc was really well done, rarely done, too, and if you...

    Okay, who the hell was praising Dragon Age Inquisition?

    I can second that entirely. I do have to admit that I like everything Bioware did and does so far. Even with the different flaws in each game. In the end I want to play a well done (it doesn't have to be perfect at all) RPG with an enticing story I can influence. (So playing Telltale is fun but...

    Has your taste in video games ever changed?

    I basically like the same stuff I liked about 20 years ago but I get a lot less patient with stuff that involves nothing else than spending a lot of time. I still like JRPGS but only if there is nearly no grind. I still like turn-based stuff but it has to be somewhere between Darkest Dungeon...

    Do you spend more time watching video games than playing them?

    I mostly only watch Let's Plays of horror games (like, 90% of what I watch, I guess) and which are at the same time "no commentary", so it is absolutely not about some kind of YT-personality. I even like to see that they already know what they are doing since I don't want to see someone figuring...

    Where Do Get Your News?

    In Germany we have a lot of daily newspapers and since I have a lot of downtime at work I tend to skim some of them: One relatively conservative one (F.A.Z.), a quite lefty one (derFreitag) and a typical socialdemocratic one (S.Z.). When it comes to foreign newspapers I check the Guardian...

    A Series of Unfortunate Events or something

    I have to say the first episode seemed really different from the following ones and I can only encourage to watch the first two episodes to find out if you like it. Many friends have reported the same. The show is really well done and unusal and sometimes funny, often awkward and everything...

    So what's the 4X crowd playing these days?

    Funny, as most said, for me it is Endless Legend, too. I was intrigued and then totally ammazed by Endless Legend and couldnt rest until I managed to beat it on a reasonably high difficulty level. Jesus, that kind of investment is mostly reserved by me for Bioware games only ^^ and Civ of course.

    So, what was the deal with the really high scores for Uncharted 4?

    Since I don't own a console I watched all Uncharted games as Let's Plays on Youtube because I wanted to know what was all the fuss about. And I had the same experience and that as someone as unimmersed as someone watching a game instead of playing it. The cutscenes where so crazy well done and...

    Best Final Boss Fights

    I actually liked the final boss fight of Mass Effect 2 because the whole idea of this organic-fuelled monster robot was very terrifying and it had semijumpscares with a touch of Terminator 2.

    Games you love to play... except for that one part!

    That one works okay for me but I'm really bad with zombies so the cult quest and the Giovanni villa is like "oh srsly...please not that again?!"

    Your thoughts on swinging/open relationships

    I dont know how many relationships I know where the "open thingy" works because I lost count. Most of them are still together, sometimes after over 10 years and counting. If some of these relationships ended it was mostly for the same reasons most relationships end, not the open thingy itself...

    Rotten Tomatoes encourages mediocrity

    I think the Critic Consensus on RT is often what I can get behind, rather than the aggregated score. I read the CC quite often befor watching something, especially when it comes to TV shows. I also watch Moviebob because I know how to take what he says and know if I still will like something he...

    Your favorite song from a video game

    Most epic and combines all them feels from the first Dark Souls summed up for me: And the haunting, eery, beautiful thingy from Divinity:Original Sin..."The Lady, the mage and the knight"

    What is the pettiest reason you wouldn't go out with someone or cause you to break up with someone?

    Moustaches. Regardless of your looks a moustache will kill ANY interest I otherwise might have in your exterior. Mind you that is before I get to know someone. If i know someone who grows one I will simply shave that off during the night #notcreepyatall I can't think of anything petty apart...
