    First game you ever played?

    Handheld wise, Pokemon Red... On a larger console, Disney's Dinosaur.

    You first "**** This" Moment in Gaming

    Possibly Evrae in Final Fantasy X... My party was far too underlevelled. I managed to defeat him after 50 attempts (no exaggeration!), only to get slaughtered by the third band of soliders at Yuna's wedding. -_- I resumed this game recently, however, and managed to finish it! :D I just had...

    Poll: Do you lower the difficulty setting if you find a game too hard? (Somewhat Skyrim related)

    Having not played many shooters, I found certain moments in the last few levels of Uncharted 3 rather difficult. >_< I was tempted to lower the difficulty from Normal to Easy, but asked Chris (boyfriend) to attempt those trickier sections, then resumed playing myself. :) I haven't ever really...

    What should I do? A relationship advice thread

    The fact she won't attempt to show an interest in something you're passionate about doesn't bode well at all. Being in a relationship is about balance and exploration. You have to balance the time spent on one another's interests, and balance the time spent together and alone. Furthermore, I...

    Some trust issues

    Do your best to be positive about her. If she does something that bothers you in the future, try to speak to her about it. You might find that there was a misunderstanding; pobody's nerfect. It's important to be open in a relationship. If you keep things bottled up, your partner doesn't know...

    I've Been Given an Ultimatum

    Can I ask, what do you do for your parents? Do you help around the home? Do you clean or cook? Have you spoken to them about why school is important and what you hope it will lead to? Do you have a plan for the future? Why do they worry? My parents get a bit angsty about my lack of a job...

    Quitting Smoking

    Focus on why you want to quit... My grandfather used to smoke a lot. Then he had a health scare... He was alright, but after thinking that smoking had given him a fatal disease, he realised that he didn't want to take the risk anymore.

    If you could see yourself living off one food for the rest of your days, what would it be?

    Porridge made with skimmed milk, with honey, a banana, and I'd add some sunflower seeds. :) I can't lie in in the morning because I always wake up craving my bowl of porridge...

    Is this generation reading books less?

    People are certainly reading books less. There is more technology, which is an easier form of entertainment to use. I think it's a real shame. Read a book! :) I love to exercise my imagination, to see how far the words on a page can take me. I love to use those words to build a personal...

    Do you read reviews before buying? Will you wait for games in the fall or just jump right in?

    I will buy games before reading reviews, but if I'm uncertain then I will read the bad reviews. This is true when it comes to products (cameras, the kindle, mp3 players) and other mediums such as books and DVDs. It just makes sense... The good reviews are a little less useful to me. I don't need...

    I am really, really sorry

    This isn't entirely true, actually... You'd be surprised at what goes on before and during the slaughtering of most farm animals; there's a lot of cruelty. I won't provide details here, because I firmly believe that people should be allowed to research what happens of their own accord rather...

    Have you ever replayed a 'bad' game later on and changed your mind?

    Zelda: Majora's Mask. I played this game on my friend's N64 and found it rather underwhelming... I didn't enjoy the style, mechanics; nor did I see a point to the game. A year later, Wind Waker came with my Gamecube as part of a package. It took me a few weeks to play it, but I did, and I fell...

    What's your favorite Pokemon?

    The way too popular Charizard... and Umbreon. :) Also fond of Feraligatr (my very first starter), Suicune, Gardevoir, and Lucario.

    At that Age, and Im not one of them?!

    I'm 21 and a few of my friends have had babies or are due to have one, but I think the idea is scary. I don't feel too young for a long-lasting relationship, but kids?!?! I haven't finished working on myself yet. I don't know whether I ever want children. If I do, I'll wait 'til I'm 30/35...

    A point of contraversy (part 1) - Buying a game used is as bad as pirating?

    I buy used games for an additional reason - recycling. When a new game comes out that I want to play, I buy it. I don't hesitate. But if I discover an old/oldish game and have the option of buying it New or Used I will consider the Used game's condition. If the Used game has been looked after, I...
