    My nephew just rage-quit MG Rising. Ah...

    I think the only time I ever rage-quit a game was Metal Gear Solid 2 on the hardest difficulty. During the Fatman fight, I kept losing, and it didn't help that two of my siblings were being really annoying at the time. I usually get on really well with my siblings, but between them and the...

    LoadingReadyRun: Wizard Chat

    The only reason most wizards still use wands or staffs is marketing. They're rarely useful for anything other than a focal point for a wizard's innate power, and once you get past the basic levels of training, you don't really need one. Sure, the higher quality wands/staffs can help you to...

    Good PC games for laptops

    Good games that I think will run on those specs: Bastion Machinarium Botanicula Braid Costume Quest and Stacking might just about work. Half-Life Half-Life 2 on lowish settings Monkey Island 1 and 2 special editions Portal, again on lowish settings Recettear World of Goo

    Old posts you've made

    T'would seem I've mostly posted in serious threads on here. I had a Livejournal back when that was the thing, and I used to constantly go back and read my posts, and laugh at my own jokes. The funniest things I've said on here are bringing up Animal Crossing on a thread about games you've...

    Your parents + tech = Comedy gold

    My dad used to be quite good with technology ten or fifteen years ago. He's the reason I developed an interest in it to begin with. He hasn't kept up with it very well though, and only started admitting that about three years ago. Here's the funniest thing I remember him doing: We had a great...

    Building a gaming PC....how hard is it?

    I built my first gaming PC ~3 years ago, for about £1800 and it's still kind of a beast. First time build advice: 1. Be careful when inserting the CPU. 2. Some people recommend anti-static gloves/strap. I personally don't bother, just touch the unpainted metal backplate on the case every...

    Have you ever bought a game multiple times?

    Alan Wake, Command and Conquer 3, Mass Effect, and Trine on Steam because I bought them on console before I had a decent gaming PC, and wanted to experience the superior PC version All the Oddworld games on Steam, because I'd been wanted to play them again, and it was easier than finding my...

    Post your favourite gaming wallpapers

    This, tiled: [http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s200/jakjawagon/Probably%20Single%20Use/?action=view&current=CloudFightBLUE.png] I recoloured it myself. The background was originally white. I'd be surprised if anybody got which game it's from.

    Analogy for your mind

    My mind is like a computer that often tries to do to many things at once and so can't do any of them efficiently. Also takes ages to shut down, i.e. go to sleep.

    For the older gamers (10+ years of gaming), what is your GOTD (game of the decade)?

    Been gaming since about 1993 and I would say Recettear. The only game that I would call better than the SNES-era classics (Super Mario World, Super Metroid etc.), though Dragon Age Origins is close.

    WTF Impulse!?

    I tend to put the code in from digital download games, but use the disc with retail. It's slightly quicker that way unless you have an amazing internet connection and/or a really crappy optical drive.

    "What's wrong with me?" Moments in Gaming

    Fable 2 on my evil playthrough. Regardless of how many innocent people I'd killed, what really got to me was the citizens complaining about their rent being impossibly high. Odd set of morals there.

    Grumpy Pundit: Men Play Too Many Dang Videogames

    Clearly us 18-to-34-year-old men should be playing more 12-to-17-year-old boys. Ambiguous grammar is fun.
