    Cliches in Video Games...

    And in general, outfits for female characters that make it look like they finished their shift at the local strip club and didn't have time to change before they had to save the world. It's entirely possible to have characters who are good-looking without being absurdly sexualised, so could we...

    Ask an EVE Player

    Not really. Lag is more bearable in medium-sized engagements, but the big problem is that in the game engine, "more ships" is always a better tactic, and in a lot of situations, it's the only viable one. Plus mineral prices have slumped, so the number of dreadnoughts, carriers, motherships and...

    Angriest you've ever been at a game.

    I didn't have too much trouble with that section. The bit that reduced me to a gibbering fury was the balance puzzles in the Hades section of Pandora's Temple. Jump at just this moment, or instant death! And maybe my controller was just wonky, but I could not seem to land on the beams after...

    Secret gaming confessions

    I'm terrible at puzzles in games. If I encounter a puzzle and can't solve it within five minutes, I just look it up on GameFAQS, or I'll be staring at the screen for hours as I run round in circles, using everything with everything else. Despite this, I like adventure games for the story.

    When was the last time you cried and/or teared up during a video game?

    Someone beat me to it. For me, it was the last meeting with Chepito at the railway station and what Manny says if you try and follow him. If you have Somethingawful forum access, there's a no-commentary playthrough of it that shows the whole storyline...

    Your most embarrasing, emasculating, video game moment

    Playing the demo of the first "Quake", and going into the castle when an Ogre comes out of nowhere! I ran around in circles in panic, fired in every direction and somehow managed to kill it. Or there was my first fleet battle in EVE, where I leapt into action....and somehow pressed the wrong...

    Poll: Health Bar or Regenerating Health, what is your stance on this new trend?

    I liked that. Mercenaries did the same thing, and it made being injured tense (you can probably withstand a few hits, but a heavy weapon or explosive could instantly kill you) without the tedium that occurs in games with no regeneration. Quite a few times in various games, I finished a really...

    Scariest Game You Have Ever Played

    I remember the cargo bays, and all those sliding doors that opened when you moved up to them. If I listened hard enough, it always seemed like something else was moving through those doors in the distance, and I could never tell if it was closing or not. And at one point, I pressed a button, and...

    Most awsomely bad quotes from a video game...

    How did you miss out the DMC 1 line: "I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIIGGGGHHHTTT!"
