    "This Is Gonna Suck" Moments In Games

    Starting the side mission in ME2 where you have to kill FOUR MECHS before they destroy a couple of fragile crates and/or kill you. On Insanity. Also, a certain part in the first episode of The Walking Dead Game Season 2. Those of you who've played it know exactly what I'm talking about.

    Poll: Have you ever walked out of a movie at the cinema?

    I've never walked out of a movie theater, mostly because I've always gone with my family or a friend. They generally have good taste in movies, so I've never felt the need. If I was with someone in the theater I wouldn't leave unless they did. If i was by myself, I'd only leave if there was an...

    Strange things that get your blood boiling

    Funny, there's a term that originates in fanfiction that describes the phenomenon you bring up exactly. A "Mary Sue" is an original character, usually female but not always, that has no difficulties or real flaws. They are somehow exceptionally skilled in whatever they do, are exotically...

    Strange things that get your blood boiling

    Mass Effect: Deception. For those who are fortunate enough to not know, Deception is a "expanded universe" novel written by Willian C. Dietz. And it is the most offensive, incorrect, badly-written piece of shit I have ever read. This book is a slap to the face to all Mass Effect fans...

    People who've never taken alcohol or drugs

    No drugs or alcohol for me. I hate feeling fuzzy, dizzy, out of control or otherwise intoxicated in any way. The health benefits is just a nice side bonus.

    Games that suprised you with their quality?

    Dragon's Dogma. I'd heard about it when it came out, but I wasn't very interested. The big "Capcom" label made me wary, as I'm not too fond of JRPGs or the Resident Evil series. Then, just a month or two ago a friend got it very cheap and let me give it a spin. I immediately noticed some...

    Skyrim: I think it's overrated. Or am I totally missing the point?

    Some of your previous statements, such as the quoted one above, seemed like you were painting your reasons for not liking the game as objective failures rather than your opinion. If I misinterpreted that I apologize, but presenting an opinion as fact can come across as disrespectful. You can say...

    Skyrim: I think it's overrated. Or am I totally missing the point?

    See, I disagree with you on the subject of combat and levelling. I feel like levelling is necessary. Yes, in Oblivion levelling was atrocious and counterproductive, but in Skyrim it feels like my character is becoming more proficient. And I don't have a hard time hitting things. In fact it feels...

    Took it too seriously, fandom

    Mass Effect: Deception. Kindly go fuck yourself with a lightsaber, William Dietz. That book was an insult to the Mass Effect universe and a slap to the face with a rotting fish for fans. It was a poorly-made piece of shit that could have been written better by a thirteen year old. The...

    Skyrim: I think it's overrated. Or am I totally missing the point?

    I still play Skyrim to this day on Xbox 360. I don't know how you can *not* like this game. It's apparent you don't, I'm not saying otherwise, it just baffles me. The levelling system feels intuitive, the combat is tense and engaging, the world is *huge* and *interesting*, and I like several...

    Skyrim: I think it's overrated. Or am I totally missing the point?

    No, I don't think it's overrated, but then again I don't get bored easily. Have you explored the entire map? Done all the faction questlines? All the side quests? Tried out as many character builds as you can think of? Tried the DLC? (Dragonborn and Dawnguard might help shake off that tedious...

    Who is the best swordsman in fiction?

    Hey I put forward Barristan Selmy, he ain't no anime pansy/ fuher king bradley. That old, washed up milk-drinker? By the seven hells, man! Jaime Lannister was obviously superior to him!

    Who is the best swordsman in fiction?

    Jaime Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones) was widely considered to be the best swordsman in the Seven Kingdoms, and possibly the world. Don't know if he could actually compete with some of these people, but the dude was a badass.

    Worse insult you have received from a family member (Light hearted or serious, its up to you)

    "I'm glad that Brian (close family friend) died before he could see you like this." - From my stepfather after telling him that I didn't believe in the christian God anymore. We'd generally had a good relationship before this. And a variety of insults in the vein of "You are stupid" from my...

    I really couldn't care less about crafting in video games. Anyone else feel the same way?

    Nope. I feel the exact opposite. I hate it when I can't make my own potions/equipment in a game. And I love the shit out of Minecraft. Ah, well. Different strokes and all that.
