    Survey for school/Videogames as a medium

    Q1) Age:  16-20 Q2) Gender:  Male Q3) How many hours do you spend playing videogames a week?  13-16 Why? Because it is fun, enriching, at times educative. Done it since I was pretty young, too. Very varying how much I play, but on average it's probably 13-16. Q4)...

    I think I might be ugly or something.

    Personally I've been single my entire life (17 years, ooh so amazingly long I've lived), and not found a problem with it. Most people I know are in the same position as me (though relationship frequency might differ where you live). To iterate what people have said, it's not a problem. I would...

    What's so great about Firefox?

    Personally, I use it because of: 1. Synchronization between computers (I have several computers and this means I don't have to configure settings for each one, and I can open tabs that's open on another computer). 2. Saving tabs if I shut down Firefox (that way I can jump right back to...

    Quick! Bully him, he's smart!

    Well said! This pretty much sums up my experience, the teachers siding with me and trusting me. However, I realised when I was 13 or so, that I really were acting badly and they really had reason for acting like they did (no physical bullying, only verbal (mental)). I tried to change how I...

    So, what do YOU think about MY country?

    Well, I live here, so it's really not so fair an opinion, but I like it here and would, personally, not want to live anywhere else. Not so fond of the more recent changes (privatisations of things I believe should be governed by the state, economical politics that doesn't really sit well with me...

    Are people too hard on smokers?

    I don't really know, where I live I don't feel that kind of attitude exists. Many teachers on my last school were smokers. I don't like smoking, and I'll admit that if you smoke I'm going to (automatically) view you as 'worse', not saying that I dismiss you out of hand as an idiot. My biggest...

    You now have a Army of the last thing you killed in a videogame.

    The last game I played was Jade Empire... and I just defeated the last boss... O_O God-strategists to conquer!

    Poll: An odd RTS?

    What would be the difference between this and Civilization? Do you mean that (in the beginning?) you equip the soldiers one by one? More customisation than a game of Civilization allows? Is it simply trying to salvage the most of the elements of Civilization and dumping it into the...

    Why isn't casual gaming respected?

    I consider myself a casual gamer, even though I've played games since I was pretty young (we're not talking three years old here, but maybe... 6-8 years or something?). I generally am not interested in working out the most efficient combo, or playing an adrenaline-pumping, rage-spawning PvP...

    Poll: Who Do You Think is Best RPGs Between Bioware, Square Enix, and Bethesda?

    Hm... Personally, I consider this arbitrary in the sense that there is no clear definition of RPG, which makes it kind of difficult to argue. Since the question is which is the best RPGmaker, I would answer BioWare with ease, simply because my definition of RPG does not simply mean character...

    You've just been defeated in combat by the avatar above you.

    I was beaten by a person with a hat that I know nothing about?! (Note: I was originally referring to the person, not the hat, but I know nothing about the hat, either, so...) Well... that's not so bad. At least I like hats.

    The Things That Made You Emotional in Gaming... Surprisingly

    Basically, it's happened two times, both from things that have already been mentioned. Once in the 2008 version of Prince of Persia, in the end. I was honestly completely surprised that I was affected that way (don't know if I actually started to cry, but it was close). Also, the ending...

    Stop scrolling. Click here. Everybody look what's goin' down.

    Sometimes it feels to me as if hope, contrary to what appears to be public opinion, is not the last thing to leave man, but the first. Not until you have given up on something can it truly be said that you have lost it. (Note that this is not true for all cases; you could lose your life to a...
