I'm not alone!!! I had this problem with both Dragon Age games, though the second one in particular. I gave up knowing what I had in my inventory and just guessed. I know my eyesight is bad, but I never thought it was quite that bad. The few times I complained to my boyfriend about it he told...

I really just want to know why Joker was taking MY ship and flying through the mass relays when he should have been ready to save my a$% from the citadel. Unless of course my character just hallucinated/dreamed the ending...(just saying, there are some interesting points to the indoctrination...

My rebuttal: archaeology is only partly about the artifacts, its more about where those artifacts came from. As an archaeologist myself, I could provide an entire lecture as to why Indy is not an archaeologist, but basically, putting artifacts into a museum does not make one an archaeologist...

I would personally give this one to Han Solo, for all the reasons that have been mentioned. My issue with Indiana Jones is that he's a terrible representative for archaeology (he is, after all, a grave robber, treasure hunter, and looter). I can enjoy the Han Solo character without feeling...

Mass Effect; it got to a point where I had apparently made every wrong choice conceivable-I wasn't evil enough to be evil, or good enough to be good, and really couldn't go anywhere. (note: this was really only an issue because I was trying to do the companion quests).

Why are these numbers surprising to anyone? A game can go all night without a break, all the next day, and into the next night...a guy, well, not so much....;-) And it is very irritating to have someone feelin ya up when you are trying to beat a level.

The first game I actually remember playing was Pac-Man. I was in the hospital when I was somewhere between 4 and 5, and the only thing to do was play the Pac-Man arcade game they had in the children's area (for free!). Which may have cemented my love of games....from there it went to Space...

Female, yes at least some of it...

I'm not alone either! I was just reminiscing about how motion sick Doom made me. As someone who got royally sick playing the first Portal (I persevered however)I am thankful they attempted to make the second less jerky. It makes it hard to finish a game when you are so nauseous you can't see...

Irish. But that could be because it reminds me of my great grandparents. My least favorite is listening to other people fake American. I know we sound awful, you don't need to rub it in my face.

I think alot of you put too much emphasis on DNA results--while it codes for our entire being, it is only the blueprint. Who you grow up to be is just as dependent on that as on your culture, family, environment, and social life. DNA is also capable of mutating, deleting bits of itself...

Not necessarily. As someone who does just this, context is extremely important. We look at all the items in a grave as well as the actual remains. If said individual was found wearing high heels and an evening gown, they would be looked at differently than one found wearing jeans and a...

I concur with most on the companion issue. I never felt connected to them-sure I learned more about their backstory, but I was never able to really talk with any of them. As for Anders, (the romance that I pursued the first time) he went from "Oh your ok" to "let's move in together!" in the...

Oh Fort Wayne, I would have loved to work in the Thunder Dome. I would have also loved trying to tell people to go to the Harry Baals building (said, of course, with a completely straight face). And then when people question you, you can give them a stern lecture about being immature, and...

Very interesting, I had often wondered what a historian would think of Civ. As to pride/lust for power being a powerful motivator, and the decisions people make in the past, I once read a very interesting article that basically stated human behavior is never irrational--it is always made...
