All the heart-warmed replies to this article make me feel better about myself that I play much like that kid. Although I've never bought gold, and my generousity is therefore few, it still is the most fun I can find in MMOGs: to give your time and effort to a friend or even a stranger. Does...

Teach her the alphabet and she turns out to be a real softy.

Ooooh yeah... Gearbox got the sound effects RIGHT in that game. Turning my sub-woofer up to maximum bass and letting rip with the MG42 was pure awesome, not only that, but pants-wetting quality (especially in Earned in Blood) when you'd hear that thick `thhhdt` sound and then your screen is...

Oooooh, Shotsaw Chainguns... Pitch that idea to Epic.

I've seen a lot of people saying they hated CoD3...yet never found a convincing argument as to why it sucked so bad. I liked it, and it's multiplayer was more fun than CoD2. I'd even go as far to say that (For me) the game was twice as fun as Halo 3. As for the WWII debate, I can't see a...

Too early for 'saving throw' jokes?

The Fool, from Fool's Errand. While obvious as to the reason of him being in the game, and possibly the number one choice for going on an errand, he is... by total undenied definition: a Fool.

The level in Operation Flashpoint, not too far from the beginning, where you're ordered to take a town in Everon, only for command to radio in and announces a full retreat is in progress, and for everyone to doubletime back to Morton, and THEN the shit hits the fan. Or possibly the mission...

A game akin to Sim City where a civilization will construct itself, however, the player only has control over one element in the game: Wind. Your goal: Malevolence, wipe out all life...using wind. Come to terms with the butterfly effect and hope that the tsunamis, tornados and gale-force...

I can't imagine why anyone would pick Freeman... Unlike many other games, playing as him didn't provide me with any empathy towards him, unlike the REAL characters in HL, like Barney, Alex and Eli. I'll pick Conker.

Funny you mention that. Apart from Postal guy, I could say the Mongols in Medieval 2 Total War... or rather, the leaders. You didn't HAVE to sack Jerusalem did you? (And every city from there to Constantinople) But for player characters... Agent 47. For all his robotic efficiency and...

Throw in a Gravity Gun, and it's a sold concept. Hell yes. I have played a Neverwinter Night's mod based on the HP universe, I couldn't really be bothered with the 'Schooling' part of the mod, where you had to attend class to learn spells/progress, but sounds like something you might...

For me, I've thought about it like that quote from Layer Cake: "Meditation is concentrating the front of the mind with a mundane task...so the rest of the mind can find peace." I got into the Zone with Perfect Dark, dual scoped falcons I'd get 80+ headshots in a 100 kill match, my brother...

Many unfair moments, one cause: Lag. But after seeing all those CoD4 moments I'm inclined to mention going through Presitge mode, and those hard-to-get challenges like "Kill 2 enemies with one sniper bullet", "Kill 2 enemies with one rocket" and "Kill two enemies with one claymore"... you get...
