    BioWare Mines Data From Mass Effect 2

    Wow, now i thought my ME2 choices were unusual, this confirmed it. Though my amusement of the warp + throw combo from the vanguard class leading to enemies pinging off walls and off into the distance may have been slightly related to this ;)

    PAX East 2010: PC Gaming Is In Partially Vegetative State

    Have to heavily disagree there, limited installs is by far one of the worst possible DRM methods (if not the worst IMHO) certainly equal to required internet connections at least. The amount of installs it gives you only dictates how long it'll take you to screw you over. For instance my...

    Siblings

    As a rough consensus of friends and people i know, the further apart the ages of siblings the better they got on. Everyone with siblings 1-2years in age range seemed to hate each other during the teenage years, those i know with larger gaps (my brother is 6 years younger + other friends with...

    Games that have caused you to throw your controller

    I'm too mellow to ever do anything like that. Worst thing i do is turn off the game, play/do something else. I've never quite understood the logic. If you're annoyed at a game, how is 'being annoyed at a game + being annoyed at breaking your gaming hardware' considered an improvement? ;)

    Game with the steepest ratio of bad graphics to good gameplay

    I was thinking the same thing. I've tried to play it many times. I can see the great game lurking in there, but i've never quite made it past the nearly impenetrable ASCII graphics and fiddly controls :<

    Poll: Mass Effect or Fallout?

    EDIT: noticed you're talking about the series, not just the latest games. I withdraw my post. I can't comment as i've not played any fallout games except fallout3 :)

    Poll: Hardware failure!

    Um, how is that even possible? Corrupting a HDD i can easily see happening (easy to fix too, just reformat and re-install), but actually breaking hardware? Anyways Unless hardware is put together badly (like the original 360 RRoD thing) the parts most likely to break on any system are the...

    Poll: Will you buy Heavy Rain?

    I'd like to, but it's nowhere near good enough to justify buying another console for. Release on the PC/360 and i'd buy for sure

    The earliest game you remember playing

    Oh wow, blast from the past there. I'd totally forgotten about that trek game. It was another that (barely) worked on our old 286 :)

    The earliest game you remember playing

    Lemmings on the PC! (an Amstrad 286 :P) Though at the time i did find exploding the lemmings in different patterns as fun as playing the actual game ;)

    For fallout 3 fans: Amplified Cripple Effects [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=85] + Triage Mod [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=5867] Adds a lot to the combat gameplay when used together. First mod greatly amplifies cripple effects (to you as well...

    Poll: Which of the following gaming trends do you hate the most?

    DRM. completely and utterly ineffective at it's job, so only effecting the only people it's not supposed to... doubly annoying when pointlessly layered on top of digital distribution like steam (which at least has it's benefits to counter any built-in DRM annoyances)

    Poll: what Left4Dead2 survivor do you like the most

    Most Unrealistic Games

    Well, ignoring any issues relating to magic ;) I'd say bits where they're blatantly breaking the laws of physics. One obvious example: the ludicrously oversized sword in a lot of FF games. from people's movement animations, gravity/mass is roughly the same. Even if he was ludicrously...

    Poll: A fantasy RPG for the 360?

    Vote for Lost Odyssey for me too. IMHO the best RPG on the platform (if you like turn-based RPGs that is)
