    Favorite Underhyped Game from Last Gen

    Don't know exactly what your friend is in to, but a few of my PS2 favorites that haven't yet been mentioned would be "Shadow Hearts: Covenant" and "Disgaea." SH is mostly for RPGers, but Disgaea is fun for just about anyone. And addictive. Very... very... addictive.

    Does anyone else game with their girlfriends?

    My husband and I game together a fair bit. I don't do FPS games, on account of not being able to walk in one direction and shoot in another (yes, I know, I'm incompetent), but we play a lot of hack'n'slash together like Dynasty/Samurai Warriors and also a fair bit of Rock Band/GH. I also do a...

    Poll: Will you still be a gamer when you're older?

    I'm almost 27, and I've more or less stopped gaming. It's not actually that I don't have time, it's that... I have too many games? It's really weird. When I was little, my brother and I would play through Super Mario World or Final Fantasy II over and over again, because we were little and...

    pets for gamers

    Let me suggest what I have - a leopard gecko. Unlike an iguana or some other reptiles, leopard geckos stay small. Mine is fully her adult size, and is about 6-7" including her tail. She lives quite happily in a 10-gallon cheap aquarium. Total startup cost was about $130 - for the tank, the...

    Poll: Cooking, can you do it?

    I had absolutely no talent or desire to cook in high school, but once I got into college and married and my first apartment (yes, all at the same time) I decided there was no way that we were going to be one of those families that eats TV dinners all the time. That, and I'm picky. So, I...

    how do i get into dnd?

    A gaming store in your area is definitely a good place to start. A lot of them will have games going on, so ask the store manager if there are any games that are accepting new players. Sometimes you might have to wait a little bit, since some DMs don't like bringing in new PCs mid-campaign...
