You would be surprised at what people will buy. There's still a market out there for old games, even the ones that game stores won't buy back anymore.

Yeah, I don't think it's really a problem until it starts affecting your life negatively. If it's not bankrupting you or making your house so full it's unlivable, I don't think it's a big deal. If it really bothers you, maybe you could sit down sometime, go through your collection and sell...

Um, I was the girlfriend. I supported his gaming, since I play a lot of video games myself. I guess I should have said something once he let MMOs take over pretty much every waking hour of his day but I didn't want to seem like a nag. My mistake. (And no I couldn't have played it too, I...

You know you play too much Final Fantasy XIV when you dump your girlfriend for someone in-game who lives on the other side of the globe. Needless to say, I've had a bad week.

I've definitely noticed I get better at Tetris the more out of it and sleepy I am. I got one of my highest scores early one morning before class, while I was groggy and probably running on 4 hours sleep. You just kind of go into the zone or something. Not really one game in particular, but...

I get the ability to laugh at everything or even nothing at all. I get a serious case of the giggles when I'm drunk. Oh, and the ability to tell people all sorts of things I probably would be too embarrassed to say sober. I might test those abilities later tonight actually...

Me and my boyfriend don't really play games together much, mostly because he plays a lot of shooters and as much as I try, I just suck at shooters. So most of the time I just sit and watch him play. It works, I get to spend time with him and have the entertainment without the...

I always have to play shooters inverted thanks to a childhood of playing Starfox on the SNES. I just can't do normal, I always end up doing the opposite of what I meant to do. With camera controls, I don't really care so much. I guess because I don't have to aim at anything with that.

Yeah, used games aren't really a big deal (unless you're a game company I guess). I buy most of my games on ebay and so far I've never had a problem with the quality of them. They're usually in near mint condition actually. You can get fairly recent releases for like $20, so your game shouldn't...

He's called Monkey because this video game is based on the Chinese story "Journey to the West" and he's playing the role of Sun Wukong, otherwise known as the Monkey King. The original story involved Sun Wukong being controlled by a golden headband that causes him pain whenever the monk (yes...

Definitely. I'm not saying that they haven't messed up big time (because they have) but that at least some of the things mentioned in the review will probably get fixed.

It does seem like SE is listening to some extent and are (slowly) fixing things. They released an update last night that fixed some of the issues that have been a real problem for players and apparently they have some kind of fix for the market coming next week. I don't know if it's a full blown...

It's not so much stupidity but just a "shotgun" approach. If you mass mail enough people, some of them are bound to have a Battle.net account and some of them will fall for it. Spammers don't have any way of knowing if you have an account to steal or not, so they just e-mail as many people as...

Not so far, but I don't buy a whole lot of games. If I don't like it, I just sell it off to someone else who will hopefully like it more than I did.

I played through the demo and thought it was pretty decent, just not enough to buy it. The "pink-haired catgirl with attitude" thing (and being forced to sit through her cutscenes) just put me off too much.
