    Lets look at MMO's as a genre

    Despite all it's shortcomings on the gameplay mechanics side, EVE Online is the only true sandbox MMORPG I know of (haven't been playing any games recently, feel free to correct me if something similar's come out). Unfortunately, to get to that creamy nougat of pure unadulterated fun, you...

    Oldest game you've played since the beginning of the year

    Sonic 1, 2 & 3 on Genesis, my favorite platformers of all time. I have no idea about the release dates though.

    The "fun-shooters" return. But why would anyone want that?

    Having a 'fun' atmosphere, and not taking yourself seriously doesn't mean the gameplay has to be regressive. Think about it, what people remember about Duke Nukem is the fun stuff, not the grind. So if you take the fun stuff and build a modern FPS around it, I see it as a win-win situation...

    Poll: Are you a Lurker?

    And the worst part is, what I wanted to say has been already stated by someone. How ironic.

    Anonymous Strikes Back, Hacks "Internet Security" Firm

    Yep, most anons are trolls, or worse, d***s. But what some anons do isn't what all anons do. What kinda saddens me is how little people understand about how anon works. Then again, I wonder how many of the people claiming this or that preposterous thing about anon are just here for the...

    On the Katana and it's wielder.

    Hmm, didn't know about the weakness of Japanese steel - to be honest it's quite surprising, since I once saw a documentary which demonstrated the superior strength and cutting power of the katana compared to it's western equivalent. Perhaps the blade used for the test was made with modern...

    The French and fake clothes/accessories...

    I live in Paris, and I can safely say that affirmation is equivalent to bull's excrement. However, the dealing of counterfeit products is illegal, so as long as you're not one of the peddlers... There recently was a campaign against counterfeit products, and perhaps it was accompanied with a law...

    Poll: Why do lots of people hate Heavy Metal?

    If I had to be very specific about why I can't listen to about 90+% of metal it would have to be the whole agressive and repetitive aspect of the rythmic section. Those bands affiliated to the genre that I do listen to, like Primus, NIN, Black Sabbath, have that in common that they generally...

    How much choice does Fallout 3 REALLY allow for?

    Coming from more of PnP-RPG school of thought, liberty (as in, all my actions shall have consequences, not as in, I can do whatever I want) is something of paramount importance for me in an RPG. Honestly, Fallout 3 was very dissapointing to me, especially compared to the 1 & 2. If, like...

    What is so great about Anime?

    Hmm, Cowboy Bebop always seemed to me to be a great recommendation for people new to anime. Would you mind elaborating on why it was difficult to get into? I might have to come up with a new way to get people hooked. Also, I was thinking about what I told you on anime as a promising artform...

    What is so great about Anime?

    I hate to be another guy jumping on the WATCH THIS bandwagon, but you might enjoy Paranoia Agent. Though I've mentioned a few good anime in my wall-of-text post, most of them are just fun entertainment, yet I warmly remember Paranoia Agent as one of the only anime that deeply affected me. That...

    What is so great about Anime?

    Hmm, your comparison with other forms of entertainement has me thinking now. I have the impression this perceived shallowness might be because of the youth of the genre - for a very long time, anime were really nothing more than children's shows, meaning that adult anime, or what I've called...

    What is so great about Anime?

    Given your afore-mentioned ignorance of anime, I would like to introduce you to the classifications and tropes that constitute it's various genres. In complete weeaboo style, I'll use the japanese terms, but I hope, Mr. Texas Sir, you'll recognize the fellow snob in me, that I may help guide you...

    Why the RAGE? It's pointless.

    God that game was awesome - but I only ever had 1 person who I could play it with, everyone else just gave up after they died 5 times on each track. Sooo I kinda get how someone with poor anger management could rage in that situation: he probably was doing very well at dying before you helped...

    On RTS Games

    I see a lot of people have mentioned Savage, but has anyone talked about Planetside? I have very very fond memories of that game, it was basically Battlefield inside an MMORPG. Never found anything quite like it since.
