    Zero Punctuation: Half-Life

    If you can run TF2, even with a crappy framerate, you can definitely run Half-Life at maximum settings. The game is 14 years old, after all.

    Jimquisition: Why Do People Hate EA?

    Why would people have a problem with Valve selling steam bucks at Gamestop? Gamestop has some very shitty business practices, true, but I don't blame any game company for selling their products there. You might as well get annoyed because THQ, Rockstar and Blizzard sell copies of their games at...

    Earth's Whitey-est Heroes

    I thought they made it pretty clear in the movie that S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted Tony Stark for his intellect, not just for the Iron Man suit. It's certainly a bonus, and I have a feeling Nick Fury intended him to become part of the Avengers, but it's understandable why they chose him and not Rhodey...

    Skullgirls Dev Dismisses Cries of Sexism

    ITT: People completely miss the point of the entire interview. "Our characters are strong, powerful women who happen to be attractive," does not equal "it's coincidental that they're attractive." It equals "the fact that they are sexy is not the only character trait they have" And as for...

    Poll: What's your Game of the Year?

    You're missing some pretty big names in there, like Deus Ex: HR and Portal 2. I loved those games, but I'd probably have to go with Skyrim.

    First game you ever played?

    Ladder. An old, old, old game using green ascii characters on a black background. This thread actually inspired me to find a link to it. http://ostermiller.org/ladder/

    The flaw in Dungeon Crawlers they keep making

    They're standard fantasy tropes. They also tend to provide a good contrast of play styles. However, dungeon crawlers don't always follow this. Look at the Diablo series. They've had necromancers, barbarians, witch doctors, demon hunters and plenty of other inventiveness.

    Skryrim: Random Facts,Questions, and Help.

    While the focus is on Skyrim, alt+tab though all of your windows until it's on Skyrim again. It worked for me, and it's a bit easier than Ctrl+Alt+Del

    Convince me to buy Skyrim... er, I mean Oblivion

    Well, Oblivion tends to be more stable, and it doesn't have VATS. The NPCs aren't much better though...

    Marijuana - Advice?

    It may be the culture surrounding weed that you have a problem with. I don't really have a problem with people smoking it, but people who devote their entire lives to it to the exclusion of everything else irritate me. It's a fun diversion for a lot of people, but it's not a gateway to...

    Star Wars: Jedi Knight

    Yeah, I'd love to see Dark Forces 5: Jedi Knight 4: Jedi Academy 2

    Game recommendation challenge

    Team Fortress 2. Shooter, but with an original style and feel. Plus it's free.

    You have the world in your hands!!

    Cut military spending and fund scientific research with the money, particularly space exploration and human enhancement.

    The Black Sheep Of Your Favourite Series

    Bioshock 2. I still love the game, but it was just unnecessary. They really should have gone with a different setting.
